Dito Sa Puso
Co.

Broad Ass Alumni
Production

Inspired by Broad Ass Alumnus Ogie Alcasid's love songs, Dito sa Puso Co. is a
love story unfolding between two conflicting worlds. While enjoying each other's company,
Gemma the daughter of the Kapamilya Inc. owner, and Abs, the son of Kapuso Co. owner,
become the talk of the town as three bloggers publish their every move. Now, they are
trapped in the middle of two large warring networks. With their families in conflict and
Abs' having another woman, Angela, as his celebrity girlfriend, will they choose the love
that was forbidden from the start? Two large warring networks are coming in between
Gemma and Abs. Meanwhile, while enjoying the company of each other, three bloggers
started to make the talk of the town. Every action, every place they go to is being
published in a blog. Gemma, the daughter of the Kapamilya Inc. owner, and Abs, the son
of Kapuso Co. owner, are now trapped in the middle. Having Angela as Abs' celebrity
girlfriend plus the conflict that their families have, will they choose the love that was
forbidden at the start?

Alien vs. Premetev

style="text- align: center;">Resident Assers Production

class="Apple- style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">

style="text- align: center;">Alien VS Premetev is a comedic satire about an incident that happened at the start of
the University's centennial celebration that is literally out-of-this- world. It is a humorous
take on the struggle of power and ownership of the University in its centennial among
three factions: the primitives, who presumably own the land on paper; the aliens, who
plan to invade and lead it; and the UP students (assisted by a most unlikely popular UP
figure) who own the University in the first place.

I am emo. and harry potter.

2008-09-21T05:33:00.000-07:00

I was outside our church in Cavite hearing mass, listening to the Gospel. A lot of the parishioners here prefer to stay outdoors while hearing mass because it was quite packed inside and musty. In front of me was a quite good-looking family, a mother, a father and two beautiful little girls. Aww. Such happy sights like this renew my belief that the world is such a pleasant place to live in. Makes me remember my earlier dream to be a preschool teacher. Anyway, I was ogling the little girls (not in a sensual way, mind you, but in a smitten godfather manner) when one of them pointed a finger at me, and declared in a loud, pitchy voice appropriate for her age: "Mommy, emo o!" I actually turned around to the direction the girl was pointing at. The people behind me were staring at me. It is with horror that I realized that the emo person the girl was referring to was me.Little imp.Yes I have thick-framed glasses. Yes I haven’t visited the barber for quite some time now. And yes, I was wearing my favorite black shirt and my pair of chucks. But I’m not EMO! I have no prejudice on emo people. I know a few of them who are actually decent. I dunno either why I suddenly got angry. I guess it’s just because people kept looking at “this EMO guy,” (which, I repeat, I am not) plus soliciting a few laughs from people behind me. I willed myself to ignore the stares, and focused on the beautiful psalms. It went away after a while. I was such in a good mood that I even managed to nod at everyone around me on the “peace be with you” part. My attention again was caught by the family in front of me. Aww. Such a pretty sight. But as the girls kissed their mother, the latter pointed at me and told them, in a loud, pitchy voice DEFINITELY NOT appropriate for her age: "O, kiss nyo rin si Emo!"I was scandalized! The little imps actually had the nerve to approach me to do just what the mother told them. And by God, the mother was not showing any signs to restrain them! I then decided to look the part. I stared at them intensely, projecting the “don’t talk to strangers” aura, and mentally relaying to the little imps that yes, I do have Gilette blades in my pockets to slice my wrists with and yes, I can help you with yours, too. Apparently they got the idea and retreated to their mommy as fast as their little impish legs can manage. Man, that favorite black shirt will be at the bottom of my drawer for a while.***Later that day, I was buying something from the grocery a block away from our house. I went to the cashier after gathering the things I need. While I was placing the wares on the counter, she actually stared at me long and hard. Then in a loud, shrill voice, again, NOT appropriate for her age, she told the baggage girl (the one who places the purchased goods in a plastic) in Ilocano:"Day, kasla Harry potter!" (Mare, kamukha niya si Harry Potter!)"Wen ngarod!" (Oo nga!), responded the latter.Ha! Good thing I can understand Ilocano.Should I be flattered? Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t look quite that good these days. I guess it won’t hurt if I take that as a compliment now, would it? XD

Baby, baby, baby 
When all your love is gone, 
Who will save me 
From all I'm up against out in this world? 

Maybe, maybe, maybe 
You'll find something that's enough to keep you, 
But if the bright lights don't receive you, 
You should turn yourself around and come on home.

100 Girly Things. Interesting.

2008-08-09T20:32:00.000-07:00

Post grabbed from Jedd.

100 SECRETS GUYS OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT GIRLS.

1. Girls like guys with sense of humor.

2. Girls hate guys who always brag about themselves.

3. It’s a rare thing for girls to go for flings unlike many guys do.

4. Take a close look at this paradox: Girls are generally impulsive buyers but are good in budgeting.

5. Too sweet girls are usually the naggers.

6. Your girlfriend can either jokingly or seriously get jealous over your basketball games. (and computer games as well.)

7. Girls are very suspicious human beings.

8. A guy ought to understand his girl’s mood swings specially when she has her monthly period.

9. Girls love to chat about anything.

10. Girls easily get carried away by their emotions.

11. You must tell a girl that you are courting her. Unless you make obvious proposal, she could either play numb or be really numb of your feelings for her.

12. The girl who gives you a quick “yes” could be too impulsive.

13. A girl’s decision is always changeable.

14. It is really hard to trace why girls are unpredictable.

15. Girls can easily change their mind because of hearsays.

16. Girls hate guys who gossip.

17. You would know that a girl likes you if she laughs even at your corniest joke and even pays attention at your nonsense talk.

18. You can hook a girl by knowing her interests.

19. It is a fact that girls, since birth of the world, can be professional flirts using their magical charms.

20. Girls hate it when you make them wait.

21. Girls love babies.

22. If you’re truly in love with a girl, you will have a hard time to convince her telling so.

23. Girls don’t take a full meal especially when they are on a diet. But they love to eat junk food , sweets or fruits in between meals that can double up a full meal.

24. Beware: a girl knows how to persuade you that you could do her a favor through her charisma or seductive body language without you knowing it.

25. Girls are flattered when you make them melt in your eyes, but they would do anything just to show disapproval.

26. Girls are very conscious people.

27. Girls hate guys who whistle at their back. The act makes them look like cheap.

28. Girls hate guys who hurt them physically

29. A girl is not necessarily after a guy with towering height. He just has to be taller then she is.

30. Girls generally do not court guys which make you guys so lucky to have their privilege to court your pick.

31. Girls who court guys are desperate. It is awkward to see a girl courting a guy.

32. Girls usually compete unconsciously among themselves especially when it comes to beauty.

33. Girls love pampering and being pampered by their boyfriends. So be careful, this can lead her to be possessive.

35. Girls have changeable moods.

36. Girls love being serenaded. The spookiest and the corniest thing that you do is for her the most romantic and the most memorable.

37. Girls like smart guys.

38. Girls like neat and presentable guys.

39. If you’re thinking that girls are very particular with a guy’s looks, then it’s time for you to make a paradigm shift. It’s actually the attitude and the way you treat them that they mostly fall for.

40. Girls can keep their deepest darkest secrets for a lifetime unlike guys who are very open about themselves.

41. Girls are the ones who can make a relationship stay longer but they don’t want to have the dominating character over their boyfriend.

42. You should let her cool first before you say sorry, otherwise she won’t accept your apology.

43. Girls usually go for older guys.

44. Like Eve, a girl is a man’s weakness.

45. Girls are generally pitiful and merciful.

46. Girls are physically weaker than guys but are emotionally stronger when problems arise.

47. Girls easily cry. That is why they are rarely violent because they ventilate themselves through crying.

48. A girl smokes and drinks though she knows it’s not a good impression on her.

49. Girls love gentlemen.

50. Girls like guys who can protect and defend them. You don’t have to be a macho man though.

88. A girl would flaunt her assets just to hook you.

89. Immature guys are out from girl’s list.

90. There’s somehow a prick in a girl who busted you, when she learns you’re courting another girl, she’ll think that that girl would rather dump you also.

91. A girl can make you wait for years in courting her but could eventually give you a “no” in the long run.

92. It is not always because she said “yes” that she likes or love you. She could have just said it for superficial reasons.

RESULTS:

If you are a Ass : A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

If you are a Slug: Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-togethers. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Cockroach : Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well... Hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.....

If you are a Parasite : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a Skunk : You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Bullfrog : You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....

If you are a Snake : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group.. Very prim and proper.. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are a Ape : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!!

WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

You scored high in English/Journalism/Comm

You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Communication, English, Film, Journalism, Literature, or Writing.

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories. You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.

Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

YEHEY! Hindi ko na kelangan magshift. Pero iba pa rin ang NEED sa WANT di ba.

Ten Signs of Procrastination.

2008-07-20T02:29:00.000-07:00

Procrastinator ka kung:

1. Nagawa mo na ang lahat ng tasks mo. Ansayasaya mo na... pero nagising ka.

2. May pa-UP UP planner ka pang nalalaman, iko-cross out at move mo rin naman ang mga skeds. At imomove pa. At imomove pa...

3. May readings kang babasahin sa Soc Sci 3. Ginugol mo ang 30 minutes sa pamimili kung blue, green o neon yellow ba ang gagamitin mong stabilo na pang-underline.

4. May assignment ka sa Comm 100 na kumuha ng picture ng UP signifying its 100 Years. Kinuha mo ang digicam at nag-camwhore.

5. Sa Tuesday ipapasa ang write-up kay Sir Avecilla. Hindi mo pa rin ginagawa, sa kadahilanang hindi mo alam kung single-space o double space ba, plus kung ano ang morocco folder.

6. Tatawagan mo ang classmate mo sa MPs 115 at itatanong kung ano gagawin sa essay. 1 hour later alam niyo na ang masidhing lovelife ng isa't isa.

7. Nag-set ka ng deadline bago ka pa lang matulog kagabi. 7 am magigising ka. No, after lunch na lang. Ay wait, magsisimba pa-ko, after na lang nun. Sandali, after supper na lang. At ngayon... tananan tananan.

8. Gagawa ka ng storyline sa MPs 174. Tumapat ka sa PC, nagbukas ng blank document sa Word. Binuksan mo din ang Minesweeper. Hulaan mo kung saan mo ginugol yung 2 hours.

9. Manghihiram ka lang ng Sunday issue ng diyaryo sa kapitbahay para sa J101. Bumalik ka sa bahay ng masaya. Masarap palang maglaro ng Wii.

10. Alam mong sobrang daming gagawin. But no, gumagawa ka ng blog entry sa Multiply.

how the day went

2008-06-04T06:09:00.000-07:00

10:00 pm -the first advanced happy birthday greeting.

11:00 pm – chat with half of my friend list in Y!m.

12:00 am – My desktop screen full of Y!m windows with every misspelling of the phrase “happy birthday” possible. My cellphone ringing constantly.

12:01 am – I cried. (charing!)

12:30 am – Two of my friends made me a blog post. One’s about bitching and depression; another’s about bitching and hugs. Another couple of posts from my super friend LeYa would later ensue (bilang nainggit xa. Hehe!). It’s about how my day went and… bitching. Anu ba bakit laging may bitch?!

1:00 am – Emo mode! Binalik-tanawan ang mga class pikachurs, previous diary entries, at memoirs sa drawer ko. Tapos tumutunog yung “A Moment Like This” sa background. O diba halatang poser.

3:00 am – Natulog.

4:00 am – Nagising. Natulog.

11:30ish am – Nagising. Naglakad sa sala. Tinamaan ng confetti rocket thingy sa gilid. Sa gilid hah, bilang lame yung nag-fire at hindi tumama sa mukha ko. Ugh!

11:31 am – Kumanta silang lahat ng hapi bertdey. I cried. Lul

11:32 am – Nagmuta. Tapos hinawakan ko si Leya at Katrina at nagthank-you.

11:40 am – Blinow ko na yung swirly swirly candles thingy.

12:00 pm – Bilang 18 na ‘ko, nilaro namin ang mataba at mahaba kong rocket.

12:10 pm - Usap tungkol sa mga buhay-buhay habang hinahanda ang pagkain. Amoy Hongkong at Sagala si Katrina. Si Leya amoy… bahay? >_< O sige amoy pili nuts na lang.

12:21 pm – Amazing race! Grabe pinagpawisan talaga ko sa katatakbo around the subdivision and everything. As in hiningal talaga tapos mapipiga na yung t-shirt naming lahat. It was rily fun!

12:23 pm – O ayan inobvious ko na sa timeframe na sarcastic lang ako. Ayun, may bagong kapamilya si Pishy ko. 2 Goldfish, sina Leyshipink at Klittyflat.

12:24 pm – Daldalan. (Wala lang pampahaba)

12:35ish pm – Kainan blues (huh?)

1:00 pm– Pityur-pityur mode. Globe commercial thingy pic

1:30 pm – MISSION KILL KLITTY!

02:00 pm – Naghugas si Klitty ng plato. Ayii bagay!

3:00 pm – dumating sina Bobbie at Vanity w/ red ribbon cake at malanding maze puzzle pictoframe thingy

3:15 pm – kumain uli. Lumamon in Bobbie’s case. (Joke lang Babi mahal kita. – manager)

3:30 pm– Nanuod ng Startalk. Ugh!

3:50ish pm– Nanuod ng scandal ni Louis Abanador. Ack!

4:30 pm – nagchange ng venue. Sa house ni LeYa!

4:45 pm – Nanuod ng Juno. Ganda! Galing. Buntis.

7:00 pm – Elyen-elyenan! Nagpictorials kami na kunwari aliens from outer space na may special weapons. Ako yung alien prince (baket bertdey ko.) Si Klitty yung alien mameshka. Si Vanity ang alien clowndevil. Leya yung alien… hmm… wheel vase stand thingy. At si Bobbie yung alien kargador.

7:15 pm- nagsimba. Whammy rock and whammy yo Souljaboy hmm hmm how we roll Supahmahn that ‘ho.

8:00 pm – bye bye na huhu

10:00 pm – chat chat effect sa Y!m at Multiply guestbooks.

02:00 am – nirecall ang mga pangyayari sa buhay. I cried. Charlolorowst

4:00 – Snooze

***

Hindi ko nabigyan ng justice kung gano kasaya at ka-fulfilling nitong araw na ‘to. Kasi naman, haggarad pa bilang fresh from prerog moments. Kaya bilang tinatamad nako, ito na lang excerpt sa journal ko about this day in English (gusto niyo nun.):

“ … Today I am overwhelmed with the people who remembered. People who gave me gifts, both envisioned and tangible. People who waited for the standard 12:00 time to send me a happy birthday in every sense of the phrase, who made this otherwise uneventful day into something both cherished and special. Yes, I could’ve wished for more. I could’ve had a more expensive setup, a more accommodating experience- a concert, a party, whatever. But just now as I am recalling the things that had transpired, I have come to realize that I don’t need a lavish birthday to make me feel like a million dollars; the people ‘round me alone did that for me. My friends and my family are my treasures, and they are more than enough. This is my special day as I would remember it for all of time, and no one can ever take that away.”

I hope that would suffice. :D

FANTASTIC.

#55: The Legend of Menstruation

#55: THE LEGEND OF MENSTRUATION

        Once upon a time, when the world was young, back when Babylon was not yet built, and waay back when the first Tabon Man was conceived, Adam and Eve bore their 1969th child. Her name was, uhm... Cynthia Nicole. (Don't ask me why.) Cynthia Nicole was tall, beautiful, and all those cliches. But oh, was she hairy.

         But being hairy does not stop her from going outside into the forest (pretty much what they do in the old days, since there's no mall or cellphones) even if the animals thought she is one of them.

         "Come join us, Cynthia Nicole!" yakked the yaks.

         "Oh no. I may be hairy, but I am human. And I have no horns like yours." said Cynthia Nicole.

         "Come join us, Cynthia Nicole!" screamed the monkeys.

        "Oh no. I may be hairy, but I am human. And I have no tails like yours." replied Cynthia Nicole.

         "Come join us, Cynthia Nicole!" said Rufus, the naked mole-rat.

        "Oh no. I may be hairy - heck, you don't even have hair!" replied Cynthia in a sweet voice.

       " Just joinin' in the bandwagon, you know?" said Rufus, a little hurt nonetheless.

               Tired from the redundancy of her answers (and wondering how animals can talk in the first place), she decided to wax herself. She applied tree-sap(the one that when solidified, turns to amber) to strips of monkey-skin (aha! So there's some use for their skin after all), applied it on herself, and pulled.

               Adam didn't ask Cynthia Nicole during dinner(and what a fricken large dinner that was, with his children and all) why his daughter has become all fair and smooth. He just hoped it is a natural gift from Up Above. Little did he know that Cynthia Nicole initiated
the first steps to modern artificial physical modification.

             On the other side of the forest resides the snake Jennifer. He is the son of the same snake that conned Adam and Eve. Jennifer prided himself with his scales (the scales notwithstanding) and in fact collects the skin he sheds off whenever he molts. And yeah, he's the baddie here.

            Through some incomprehensible reason, Cynthia Nicole got invited to a party. So she was looking for something to wear. Coincidentally, saw the skins, and fell in love with it as Cruella would fall for faux-fur. Jennifer was not in the cave at the moment. So she stole them, and gave them to her 235th brother who designs gowns and whatsits. Cynthia Nicole wanted them to be
made into high fashioned gloves for the party.

            Jennifer arrived at the cave and immediately saw the heinuous deed. Through DNA fingerprinting, he determined that Cynthia Nicole was the one who
stole his skin. Boiling with rage, he went to her cave and saw Cynthia Nicole sleeping.

          "Curse you girl! curse you to everlasting uteral bloodletting!" And he bit the highest place he can reach. Oh, you know where.

          I don't know, but that bite must hurt really, really bad.

          So you see, everytime girls have it, snakes are not allowed to come near. Tee-hee.

          Yeah, so blame Nicole and her scale fetish. Pretty much like we blame Adam and Eve for eating that damned apple.

#54: Hi! I'm Allan

2007-10-27T04:23:00.001-07:00

#54: HI, I'M ALLAN

You entered: Ronald Habon

There are 11 letters in your name.
Those 11 letters total to 50
There are 4 vowels and 7 consonants in your name.
What your first name means:Scottish Male Mighty counselor/ruler.
Scandinavian Male Rules with counsel. Form of Reynold.
Gaelic Male Rules with counsel. Form of Reynold.
English Male Powerful. Rules with counsel. Form of Reynold.

Your number is: 5

The characteristics of #5 are: Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom.

The expression or destiny for #5:
The number 5 Expression endows with the wonderful characteristic of multi-talents and versatility. You can do so many things well. The tone of the number 5 is constructive freedom, and in your drive to attain this freedom, you will likely be the master of adaptability and change. You are good at presenting ideas and knowing how to approach people to get what you want. Naturally, this gives you an edge in any sort of selling game and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Your popularity may lead you toward some form of entertainment or amusement. Whatever you do, you are clever, analytical, and a very quick thinker.

If there is too much of the 5 energy in your makeup, you may express some the negative attitudes of the number. Your restless and impatient attitude may keep you from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes you can be rather erratic and scatter yourself and your energies. You have a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining any sort of a routine. You tend to react strongly if you sense that your freedom of speech or action is being impaired or restricted in any way. As clever as you are, you may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again because much of your response is glib reaction rather that thoughtful application. You are in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.

Your Soul Urge number is: 5

A Soul Urge number of 5 means:
The 5 soul urge or motivation would like to follow a life of freedom, excitement, adventure and unexpected happening. The idea of travel and freedom to roam intrigues you. You are very much the adventurer at heart. Not particularly concerned about your future or about getting ahead, you can seem superficial and unmotivated.

In a positive sense, the energies of the number 5 make you very adaptable and versatile. You have a natural resourcefulness and enthusiasm that may mark you as a progressive with a good mind and active imagination. You seem to have a natural inclination to be a pace-setter. You are attracted to the unusual and the fast paced.

You may be overly restless and impatient at times. You may dislike the routine work that you are engaged in, and tend to jump from activity to activity, without ever finishing anything. You may have difficulty with responsibility. You don't want to be tied down to a relationship, and it may be hard to commit to one person.

Your Inner Dream number is: 9

An Inner Dream number of 9 means:
You dream of being creative, intellectual, and universal; the selfless humanitarian. You understand the needy and what to help them. You would love to be a person people count on for support and advice.

(Another update. Gotta eat. Later.)

#53: My Country's No Paradise, Mr. Jacobson

2007-08-27T06:49:00.000-07:00

#53: MY COUNTRY'S NO PARADISE,

MR. JACOBSON

It's not preposterous to say that we found

Paradise in your country.

-a tourist

Don't Mr. Jacobson,

Don't say you've found

Paradise in my country,

Because behind the scent of women

That put leis' round your neck,

The stinking smell of estuaries

Suffocate the people of Tondo;

Because behind the carpets and the chandeliers

That brought you to your comfortable room

There is merciless demolition

That haunt the people of Paranaque;

Because behind the banquets

That made you full,

Famine attacks Lupao;

Because behind the rondollas

That have brought you to the heavens

War kills the People of Sipalay ;

Because behind all the magazines

That have show you beautiful destinations,

The lash of the lack of books

Imprison the school children;

Because behind the choir of boys and girls

That has made you clap your heart out,

There is evil in foreign customers

That scar the children of Ermita ;

Because behind the expensive tablets

That made your fever go away,

There is epidemic of the common illness

That kills the children of my country;

Because behind the white beach

That made you tan,

There is the burden of the military bases

That deprive my country of freedom.

So don't Mr. Jacobson,

Don't call my country paradise

Until the root of injustice is gone.

Happy Nat'l Heroes Day.

#52: MY FRESHIE LIFE IN CATEGS

Can we all give a collective sigh of relief for my long-delayed post! *sigh!* There you go. Oh, how I incur self-delight in hearing keyboard keys go clickety-clack. Such a long time since my fingers last touched these things.

So, what's up with my lives? Yeah, lives. What with the collegiate lifestyle I *almost* couldn't keep track of, I wouldn't be surprised if another Allan waved at me along the sidewalk as I pass by. I wish I can clone myself. Whew. Well I've been more than busy these past few months, with schoolwork, collegework, orgwork(more on that later), and loads of other thimangajiggurs in between. it's just my luck that i've sort of put them to rest for a while. Enough time, in fact, to create this post of mine. Yay.

School life

The University of the Philippines, as I have said on my last post, is a culture shock-and-a-half. Already I have had my first test; the result of which I cannot reveal for... some... reasons. Oh, horrible. Well, there's always dropping. NatSci 1, you poop! Haha.

Then there's the classmates. They say UP's a miniature version of the real world. Therefore, aside from the other social categs, the real world's got a huge collection of bitches! Oh, fun. There's always one in every class, you see. And whenever I brush elbows with these kinds of chicks I keep wishing that freedom in UP extends to ripping one's saloned hair to the scalp. But then again there are those people who strike you as friendly the first time you talk. My phonebook's full of them now.

And of course, there's the various projects, readings and essays to consider (no computations- no Math!). With all of these things blended into one big cauldron that is UP, it seems that I can never get used to college life. But with a personality as cool and a physique as hot as mine, we can say that it's only a matter of time. >:-)

Dormitory Life

Dormitory life is chillin'. I thought it'd be hard for me to be away from my family; apparently it's not. The first few weeks were a-ok. I met my roommate and went off fine. My floormates were cool. I have a group there with my other fellas. Room hopping's the norm. I get along with everyone else.

But lately things have gotten a tad murky. Because of my org life, my dorm life was forsaken. I hardly sleep on my room nowadays. I call it not as my room, but "a helluvalarge locker". I haven't attended dormitory meetings for a while, and I was left out of bonding sessions. I think I already have a violation or two, they even talked about me on one of their meetings.

^_^: Hey Kuya!

'_' : Allan, halika dito.

^_^: *drumroll* ...

'_' : I love your shirt.

^_^: Er... thanks?

'_' : Seryoso na. I want to talk about your recent excursionszzzzz....

^_^: ... well?

'_' : *drama* Hindi ka na namin nakakasama dito sa first floor... lagi ka na lang umaalisszzz...

^_^: ... well?

'_' : If these symptoms persist, consult your doctor. Este, if this attitude persists, i'm afraid i'm gonna have to EXPULSE you from the dorm

^_^: *titter titter*

'_' : What's funny? Is EXPULSING you funny?

^_^: *titter* Er, no sir. Ah, is this forreal?

'_' : Forreal.

^_^: Aw, shucks!

Sa mga di naka-gets ng joke, hala!

So there. Well I expect there wouldn't be that much problem in the future, since I've only been AWOL because of my org application, which ended last week.

And I'm going to buy myself a fish for my desk. Yay!

Org Life

... takes up the largest chunk of my life right now. Three weeks of psychological war and physical ordeal is well worth it, the moment I was anointed as a member. So much has happened in that span of time. It's not merely the prestige, or the glamour, or even the perks: two months into my college life, and already I have developed myself, and got myself a family to boot. I've found true love, and it's in the form of Broadcasting Association.

I really can't get into the nitty-gritty details (ah, the agony!), that's for the next batch of applicants to discover. But I tell you, you're missing half of your life without getting involved in this org. I myself had self-doubts during the application. But now, so far, not a drop of it remains. I know where I belong; I belong here in Broad Ass.

[I'm going to create a post for this topic alone. I'm so full of it. Arg!]

2007-06-22T23:56:00.000-07:00

#51: MY FRESHIE LIFE IN BULLETS

The time for spring cleaning has come! Since I have tons of assignments to accomplish and xerox copies of readings to, well, read, this is naturally the perfect opportunity to clear the cobwebs in my blog and update it. Harr. So much things happened in the past few (or many) days since the last blog post that I can't manage to remember 'em all. Gotta remember 'em all, Pokemon! What the.

Anywhoo, here's what I DO remember since I first set foot in the UP Diliman Campus:

> The first thing that struck me was, "Why is UP so HUGE?!!". Back in my beloved high school the distance from our first class to the next is just a nosepick away. Now you have to literally kill yourself to reach your favorite Math class. Jeez.

> Then there's the people. UP holds the largest variety: the geeks and nerds (of course), the fashionistas, socialites, fat gross people, goths, downright ugly kids, teens who don't wear undies, and gorgeous, one-of-a-kind people like me. The weirdest introduction I've heard so far from a classmate is this:

-_-: if you make me an angered specie you're gonna be an endangered specie! rawr.
o_O: er.. kuru?

> I thought it would be hard to win friends. But it really isn't. In UP, where thousands of people from different places in the archipelago unite in a piece of hundred-acre land, you're bound to meet someone with the same wavelength as yours. In my dormitory alone, I've met people from as far as Leyte, Davao, and Ilocos. Though I don't speak their language, we sure as hell understand each other through our ever-intellectual minds. And of course, I thank Manuel Quezon for making Tagalog the national language. Mwahuggz for you, mah man.

> Another thing in UP is that you're free to say practically anything you want and not give a damn. Hey, in our college orientation alone there's this rally that got me so exhilirated. Yeah i'm warfreak. You jealous?

Let me share to you a dialogue of me and one of my blockmates:

^_^: Hey bitch! Bat nga pala wala ka nung first meeting natin nung orientation? >_<: Kasi akala ko rally ung nasa labas e.
^_^: Rally? Bouvlacs (boblaks, sosi version) ka ba? Yun ung pila nung mga blocks!
>_<: E kasi... me mga hawak silang... plaque cards... at illustreyshon boards... ^_^: *rotfl*

Haha. So anong pinaglalaban ng mga taong me hawak na 'K-9', 'G-10', at 'F-2'? Tuition fee increase? Haha. Wala lang. So that's it. Now I call my blockmates bitches for the first time and they just laugh and say that's a good one. Ah, the perks of free speech.

> And last and certainly, undeniably and superlatively the least are the classes and the profs that abound the student's hectic schedules. Just like in high school, you get to meet all sorts of teachers: me 60 yrs old na buntis, me talsik laway(wag kang uupo sa harap), me promotor ng jugjug("uuy pareho silang science high school at course!" e anu naman?), me power and energy-savers ("Class, tinatamad akong magturo. We're giving ourselves a free time!". Yeah, right.) at syempre, me normal naman. But they're really, really rare. Pero ang kinaiinisan ko talagang teacher ay ang aking Kasaysayan 1 teacher, Mr. Hernandez-zwatsisneym.

15 mins into the class...
"Class, sorry i'm late, pumunta pa ko sa faculty center para blah blah blah..."

30 mins...
"So, this is... Kas 1 Class. But before I give the introdution, I want to tell you a story about *insert corny story here*" syempre tatawa ang klase. Prof yan e.

45 mins...
"Now before my introduction on the subject let's have the class attendance. Let's see... *Insert class attendance, kung saan tatanungin ni Mr. Hernandez-zwatsisneym kung present o absent ang student. As if makakasagot yung absent di ba. Tapos gagawa ng joke tungkol sa mga pangalan, e.g. 'Habon' gagawing 'sabon'. Pag wala nang maisip tatanungin niya ang year, course, high school, province, place of origin, skin tone at blood type.* Umabot ng 30 mins yung routine. Effective na pamatay-oras.

1 hr, 15 mins...
"*insert corny joke**insert corny joke**insert super corny joke**insert prof's experience in China**insert dreadful anecdote**insert common joke, yung tungkol sa banana*

1 hr, 30 mins...
"Oops, time na! I'll just give the introduction next time. Which reminds me. That next time I'm talking about would be next week. I'll be in Palawan for a seminar, so I'll be absent next time. In the meantime, get yourselves busy by reading *insert 300+ page book here* and *insert 20-page article here* and making a 5-page summary about it. Arial 11, single-spaced, computerized. Adieu!"

HUWAAAHHHT?! Hnlabo! T__T

So ayun, that's some experience I've had in my first few days as a UP student. This is quite a place full of repetitive culture-shocks. Well anyway, that's it. I'm gonna make a Part 2 if I would have time next week. In the meantime I'm gonna be reading the book and the article. But then again, maybe I'mma just do it later. Lazee!

"Remember this face, y'all, I'm gonna be famous!"

#50: FIFTY THINGS ABOUT MOI

Hey guys! We have three things to celebrate today. First off, it's my birthday! *applause.* I'm 17 years old now, and I feel older by the minute. In accordance to my coming-of-age I decided to change some aspects of my life. It's also in preparation for my upcoming entry to collegiate life in UP. My birthday adventure will be narrated in a later post, so there you go. Anyway, thanks for greeting me, you know who you are, y'all.

Another event to celebrate is this post. It's my fiftieth post! *polite applause* Wow, isn't that some great achievement. I started this blog November(?) last year. I've decided not to count the months that passed but rather the posts that were made. It's a better measure, isn't it.

And the third event to celebrate is my gorgeousness, intensified further by the flourish that old age had blessed upon my features. *applause, rabid now.*

To commemorate these three occasions I have decided to let you in on some tidbits and facts of my living existence. Well, at least those that I remember now. Indulge! Here's 50 things about moi:

50. I’m a Gemini and a Horse, zodiacally speaking.

49. My worst (or best) LSS is Sexyback by Justin Timberlake. It went on for a week now, and still counting.

48. I hate my nose. And I hate my fat ab.

47. The first complex word that I knew is ‘chlorophyll’. It earned me the title of best speller in my prep year.

46. I’ve never been to Enchanted Kingdom. And I go OP when people talk about it.

45. I correct my English teacher’s spelling and grammar when I was in grade 4.

44. I drank milk out of a formula bottle until Grade 2.

43. I want to be called Cutie. But nobody calls me Cutie. Everyone calls me Habon. Or Bitch.

42. Speaking of which, I’ve heard every variation possible of my surname: Sabon, Hapon, Jabon, Baboon, Habbie, Jabbang, Haboner, Habonie Baby, Habonera, and most recently, Habitch.

41. My favorite expression is ‘bitch’, followed by ‘epek’.

40. I have a mannerism of blowing air through my mouth. I can’t describe it. You’ll just know when you see me do it.

39. I’ve been exposed to television five times.

38. I joined an acting workshop when I was 7. I should’ve been Noli in Bayani (in ABS CBN) if mom hadn’t thought first of my education.

37. I want a Dance Revo machine, a Dance Maniax machine and an Ab King Pro for my exercise regimen.

36. All my 7 cellphones had been lost, snatched, or hold-upped. I’m not kidding.

35. I have a recurring dream of being chased by zombies/ murderers/ vampires/ detectives/ aliens/ girls/ etc. I’m always being chased about. Was it because of my charm? I wonder.

34. I love green if it’s on a shirt; I love blue otherwise.

33. I am sanguine. Meaning, I’m passionate and emphatic, blah blah.

32. I was once a leader in my elementary days of an organization named DMC. That’s Demons and Mammons Club.

31. In an alternate life I think of myself as a struggling photographer, starving for the job I like doing best. But in this life I am a journalist. But still struggling and starving.

30. I can draw, dance, sing, act, write, and love. Taray!

29. I want to be rich. I need to be rich.

28. The phrase (I think) “Aigo no Fuumi” goes into my mind from time to time. I don’t know what the hell it means. It’s like Japanese or something. Isn’t that weird?

27. I am the family’s black sheep.

26. My primal fear is frogs. I literally vomited my intestines the moment I learned that it’s what I’ve been eating in the province all the time. And yes, it tastes like chicken.

25. I once had a huge fistfight with a classmate during a Values Education class. Haha. The irony.

24. I love the number 7. I hate 6.

23. I once planned to write to Wish Ko Lang to help Ka Saleng, the 89 year-old plastic balloon vendor in my elementary school. I just don’t know where to send it to.

22. I am obsessive-compulsive. My mind cannot be put to rest until I do things in my right hand what I did first with my left hand, or unless I write words stroke per stroke in my thoughts.

21. I’ve attempted to run away from home three times. But that’s just to see if my parents would stop me. They didn’t.

20. My ultra wish is to be God. My super wish is to be the president of the Philippines. My wish is to become an editor-in-chief. Starring in movies is just a thought.

19. Money always slips out of my hands. I’m a terrible treasurer.

18. I’m a bitch wit the househelp. My yayas give up after a month or so because of my tantrums. Well that’s in the past. I’m good now.

17. And I am a good liar.

16. I hate losing.

15. I’m an old soul. I love classic songs.

14. I have a soft spot for kids.

13. I’m stupid at Math. So I hate it. Screw you Math!

12. My favorite teacher is Ms. Gray, the teacher who taught me to write poems.

11. I have a super secret invisible friend named Kendall.

10. My first drawing is a red-and-orange apple something. Basta it looks like some fruit.

9. Once in nursery I got bored of getting perfect scores in the tests that I got some answers wrong on purpose.

8. I once found a nest of little hatchlings and kept them in the garden. I nurtured them until they were eaten by the stray cat. I hated, no- loathed her since then.

7. I love books. My favorite authors are Sidney Sheldon and Stephen King.

6. My favorite riddle is: What is born together with a baby’s birth? … a parent.

5. I still believe in the supernatural and that one day someone would give me superpowers. I think shape-shifting’s cool.

4. My favorite toy is a tamagochi I stole from my cousin. I dunno if I liked the fact that it was stolen rather than the toy itself.

3. I am in nature a nocturnal person. I sleep at 4 am and wake up at 12 pm.

2. One memorable quote is; “People do not fear darkness. They fear what’s in it.”

1. I’M ONE-OF-A-KIND ME! (Now THAT’s informative.)

#49: Once Upon A Time

2007-05-27T02:51:00.000-07:00

# 49: ONCE UPON A TIME

Let’s take a breather from my hilarious and bitchy posts for a while, shall we? It’s a time, I believe, of utmost concentration and reflection. Nah just joking. But really, it’s a grim day. We've received news that my father would go back overseas soon. I dunno if it's a good thing or not though. Good news is, he'll gonna have his job back so he wouldn't be the cranky, naggy person that he is right now, I think a by-product of lack of physical work. And thank God I won’t be forced to watch Wowowee and Jumong anymore! I can say I’ve been traumatized with that horrible experience. The downside, though, is that the family will be incomplete once more. Aw. And he'll go on my birthday. Nice present dad. Haha.

To suit the drama of the situation I reflected upon a Nigerian poem that I had ran upon on one of my readings (naks!). Now my dad, as with other grown-ups, always voices out his concern about the “kabataan ngayon”, as what he calls us of this generation, of our wrongdoings, of being gullible and unconcerned, of arriving late at home and not being respectful enough, and other things like that, whenever he gets the chance. Now this poem is also about a father talking to his son about youth and age, but what struck me the most is that it was compared in a completely different angle. As of the poem being written in a foreign tongue I made the effort of translating it (as if) in my native language... English. I hope it would touch you as it did me.

Once upon a time, Son,
they used to laugh with their hearts
and laugh with their eyes;
but now they only laugh with their teeth,
while their ice-cold eyes
search behind my shadow.

There was a time indeed
they used to shake hands with their hearts;
but that's gone, Son.
Now they shake hands without hearts
while their left hands search
my empty pockets.

So I have learned many things, Son.
I have learned to wear many faces
like dresses: homeface,
officeface, streetface, hostface, cocktailface,
with all their conforming smiles
like a fixed portrait smile.

And I have learned too
to laugh with only my teeth
and shake hands without my heart.

I have also learned to say "Goodbye"
when I mean "Good riddance";
to say "Glad to meet you"
without being glad; and to say
"It's been nice talking to you" after
being bored.

But believe me, Son,
I want to be what I used to be
when I was like you.
I want to unlearn these muted things.
Most of all, I want to relearn
how to laugh, for my laugh in the mirror
shows only my teeth like a snake's
bare fangs!

Show me, Son,
how to laugh; show me how
I used to laugh and smile
once upon a time when I was like you.

#48: The Debut...Again

#48: THE DEBUT... AGAIN

Because of my outright popularity and fame, I was once again invited to a debut of one of my former school/class mate...*drumroll*... Bea! Oh, sorry fellas, it's Marnelli now. MaScians are suddenly changing their names for the benefit of the new collegial environment they'll put themselves into this June. I am seriously considering for my new classmates to call me Ronald. Or Cutie. But enough about me.

Well, as one of the performers in the said debut, I have to go to Thea's house to practice our songs. I asked Pop to wake me up at 5:00 am. So naturally he woke me up at 7. I'm in a fricken hurry then. The trip took two-and-a-half hours because I got lost again. So after arrival, I thought that we'd start rehearsing immediately. What we immediately did was eat and fool around. So naturally we didn't practice. After that we went to the mortician parlorist for the girls' hair and make-up. And the most surprising thing happened: Judy Ann Santos is inside the parlor! OMG! I was fidgeting for my pen for an autograph, when I looked closer and realized that it's just Chrissy and her new 'do. How dare Juday copy Chrissy! Hahaha. Thea needs suggestions on her new look, so naturally we thought of the most horrible hairdo that we can find.

Fast forward to the venue. I was thrilled to see my old schoolmates again. After some last= minute practice the show began. Bea looked like a thin Mandisa from American Idol. If you don't know her click HERE to give you an idea. In my song number I told her that I found a sexy song for a sexy girl like her and to be sung by a sexy guy like me. Then there's the food. And there's beer in the house! Bea's mother urged us to drink. "Ayan may punch jan mas matapang ung halong beer kuha lang kayo!" Ah, the irony. After that I don't remember anything anymore, because I'm drunk. In a matter of speaking. Whutever.

All in all the event's a success. Granted that the venue's small and the attendance is few, it maintained a rather intimate and cheerful atmosphere. There's not much adults, so our actions are uninhibited. Hell, I even had a chance to drink myself crazy. Or so they say.

Ah, I hate this post.

#47: The Debut

2007-05-13T23:18:00.000-07:00

#47: THE DEBUT

The update bug has finally gotten into me. Barely. Haha. Summer bummer. And my parents JUST realized after a long deliberation over breakfast that Journalism IS really my call, so they told me to drop Physics and follow my heart. Yeah, right. had the decision been a month younger I would've willingly done so. But to change my course at this moment, now that i'm enrolled and all? I say too late, too late.

I'm gonna talk about Thea's debut. After weeks of preparation and thousands of pesos worth of expenditures and transport fares, the occasion has finally come to place. With Klitty, LeYa, Jox and Jorge we ventured into the Philippine Army Officer's Club Clubhouse in Taguig (mentioned in my previous post). It started way beyond time, since they have to wait for me to arrive, and I am always fashionably late, so needless to say my arrival is the cue to get the party started. And I am a vegetarian.

Having been drunk with water and coke *hic* after many toasts I have quite a hazy recollection of the things that happened *hic*. Here's what I remembered tho:

> There's this entrance thing where we were standing and clapping and humping around and everything is orange.

> The coordinator is a dud.

> The cotillion is not as bad as I expected it to be. Thank god KJ is such a good dancer, we copied moves from him.

> The food's nice.

"Hindi masarap 'tong cordon bleu"
" ...cordon bleu?"
"Oo. Eto o."
"Aaah. Kaya pala hindi masarap na cordon bleu. Fish fillet yan e."

> Many people are absent. You can see tables without people on them. Or in them. Whatever.

> We had this game, Trip to Jerusalem, where the number of contestants is equal to the number of seats. Go figure out how a person can win in THAT.

> I recalled having sung and done something, but it's so embarassing my mind blocked it out from memory.

> Her birthday cake revealed to me that her name is Phea. Funny, all these years I call her Thea.

> If u can give me wis to flaa/ and cash me if I foo/ I pu the stas down from the skaa/ so I could wish on them oo/ and I couldn't ask fo moo/ coz your love is the greatest gif of oo.// Gad i'm so mean.

Happy birthday!!!^__^

We breathed a collective sigh of relief after the debut. Those practice days finally paid off. All in all, it was a great experience, especially on the debutante's part. It's every girl's dream come true. Well not everyone, since my lil sis Rigel is opting for a rock concert. (Should I be worried?) Going back, I need not mention the staggering amount of money and time that hed gone into this event. My sister had only a Hawaiian swimming party. So what, it's still fun. Debuts are for the rich and the determined. So I warned my lil sis that if she wanted a debut for her 18th birthday I swear i'm gonna make sure she won't live to reach the age. And yeah I said I love her still afterwards for good measure.

#46: FUN WIT POLITICS

Oh yeah, politics season. Not on the voting age yet. It's been a busy week for my mom who's an advocate of one of the candidates for mayor. And after all the effort, they lost. Too bad. And I was rooting for Pichay too, in an avid and rabid manner. I was like, "You're almost there man! GO FOR IT!" And yes, he followed my advice and gone for...fifteenth place. How about my dreams then, Pichay? How about MY DREAMS?!!!! I almost feel bad about his advertising expenditures. Well that's politics. Anyway, here's some hilarious political jokes I've found all over the net:

Kung nag-Gay language lang sana sina GMA and Garci, eh di sana walang gulo ngayon...
GMA: Hallooo Gracia!
Garci: Yes mother! Nachukchak ko na po yung mga chuva ek-ek!
GMA: Bonggacious! Eh yung mga tienes-tienes, carry na ba?
Garci: Winnie santos mama! Wiz na worry! Eclavou na ever!
GMA: Ang tarush! Babush!

Erap: Pre, ang bilis ko natapos buuin yung puzzle!
Juan: Talaga pare? Gaano kabilis?
Erap: 5 months!
Juan: Ang tagal naman!
Erap Tanga! Anong matagal?! Nakalagay nga dito "For 3 years and up!"

Erap: Lintik na ibon yon...Iniputan ako!
Guard: Sir, sandali lang po kukuha ako ng toilet paper...
Erap: Wag na! Paano mo pa mapupunasan yung pwet non eh nakalipad na! Tanga ka talaga!

FVR: Erap, may gift ako sayo from India.... 10 feet na snake...
Erap: Ows! Niloloko mo ba ako!? Di ako ganon katanga...wala namang feet ang snake noh! Gagong toh!

Erap: Tamad! Di ba sabi ko sayo diligan mo ang mga halaman!
Hardinero: Sir, umuulan naman po kasi eh!
Erap: Magpapalusot ka pa! Tanga!.....Eh di magkapote ka!

Erap: Doc, I accidentally swalloed a chicken bone!
Doctor: Is it choking?
Erap: No doc. It's Max's!
Doctor: I didn't mean chowking. I said, are you choking?
Erap: No doc, I'm serious!

GMA: I'm planning to stop poverty and mass starvation.
Erap: Alam mo Gloria..yung poverty madaling pigilin... pero ang Masturbation...Aba eh magisip-isip ka muna...human rights violation yan! (eeew!)

Erap: Lintik na shampoo to ayaw bumula

Erap: Ay shet! ang Wristband ko!.. Oh No!

#45: LOST

Have you ever been lost in a strange place, with no map, no directional bearing, and no companion whatsoever? I have. Last May 4, 2007, the Manila Metropolis stood back as an extraordinarily handsome boy got lost in their overpopulated midst. Yeah, that's me. You jealous? >:-D

Okay, that intro pwned! The image too. Lol. I can't find any decent pictures answering the search engine word 'Lost' in Yahoo, and obviously I don't have a camera with me that day to commemorate my undeniably adventurous yet superstupidly executed rendezvous, so I just put the TV show 'Lost' (I do not watch this) wallpaper as my header image. And that's it.

My starting point is DOST. I went there because of some stuff I do not care about. I hate DOST! Anyway, I asked the guard how to get to Gate 3, Fort Bonifacio (somewhere in Taguig, w/c is my destination) and I was delighted to find that the guard knows how to go there. Looking back, I wish I hadn't listened to that bloke's ministrations, seeing that what happened after was all his fault. But ignorant me obligingly rode the bus he pointed to me.

5 mins into the voyage...
"Saan ka?"
"Ma, Gate 3 lang po"
"Gate 3? Aaah. 30 php"
"Huwaaat? Okay."

15 mins into the journey...
"Baket kaya angmahal ng pamasahe? Alam ko kinse lang yun e.. Hmmm..."

30 mins...
"Hala? Parang mali ata yung route na to ah...

1 hour
"DIYOS KOOOO! Bat me mga bundok na dito?!

1hr, 30 mins
" Ahh... Saturn... whatever..."

Okay, it’s a joke fellas! In case you haven’t noticed. But in that time frame I arrived in Gate 3. Yes. Gate 3. But not Gate 3, Fort Bonifacio in Taguig, but Gate 3 Camp Crame in Quezon. Haha. Now if you know the distance and the difference of these two places I’m sure you wouldn’t laugh. It’s horrible. Now I remember what went wrong! Backtrack with my interview with the guard back in DOST…

“Mama, alam nio po ba kung panu pumunta sa Gate 3, Fort Bonifacio?”
“Anong Gate Three…?”
“Sa Philippine Army Officer’s Club po.”
“Aaaah… Army. Doon!”

So ayun. Napadpad ako sa Gate 3 ng Armed Forces of the Philippines, Quezon. Thanks Manong guard!*sarcasm*

I need not tell how horribly the realization sunk in: I’m lost. Lost in this Metropolis. Yes, a Metropolis is a group of blah blah… aaaa di maka-relate! Hehe. Basta I’m lost. Tapos pumasok pa ko dun sa AFP, tapos naglakad ng 1 hour. 1 hour bago ko nalaman na I’m officially missing…me.

Ayoko nang I-recount kung anu nangyari. It’s horrible. To sum it all up, sa dami ng bus na sinakyan ko, kung kinolekta ko ung mga tickets, makakagawa na ko ng collage. At kung me pinagsisisihan ako, eto ay ang mere fact na nag-black t0shirt ako. Dyahe ang inet. At naturally, na-late ako sa cotillion miting.

At oo, alam kong English ung first part, at Taglish ung last. Naaantok na ko, sorry. Haha.

Teletubbies!

#44: I LURVE PHYSICS

OPERATION 'I LURVE PHYSICS'

Subject: Ronald Allan 'Raphnobah' Habon
Target: UP Dept. of Physics Director [Unknown]
Accomplice: Mr. Habon [Daddy]

Mission: Convince target to accept subject in the Physics Department amidst intense revulsion on the subject's part because of DOST scholarship and everything

April 30, 2007
UP Diliman, Llamas Building

Waiting Area

1400 hours

Raphnobah: Dad, ayoko ng BS Physics!

Mr. Habon: Anak, kailangan mong mag-Physics. Hindi mo magagamit ang scholarship mo sa DOST kung hindi Physics ang kukunin mo.

RH: *insert telenovela music.* Ngunit papang, I want to Journ! I want to be released from these chains and soar high like a bird; to reach the skies with every word conjured by my plume; for my work to rise beyond ink and paper, to bring forth light and hope through every letter, every word, every line; and to transcend time immemorial. It is better to fail in what I love than to succeed in what I hate. I want to be independent, to be FREE!

MH: Shuttup boy!

RH: Kk

MH: Now, I want you to do this. You need to pretend that you love Physics. I've heard na picky ang Director dito. You need to convince him that you are an expert in the subject so that he'll accept you in this course. Wag mong sabihing magpi-Physics ka lang dahil sa scholarship. Do your best, soldier!

RH: Aye aye, sir! *Basta wag niya kong tanungin ng mga problems. hindi ko dala scientific calculator ko. Ha! As if.*

(enter director's room)

RH: *Sana naman kausapin nya ko ng Tagalog para mas madali. O kahit na Taglish. Grabeng struggle 'to pre!*

Director: *with a flourish. naks.* Good afternoon! I suppose you're *consults a piece of paper* Mr. Habon. Do sit down!

RH: *gulp*

MH&RH: *sit*

D: So, ano ang situation natin?

RH: Er, sir, kasi po I'm a DOST scholar.. I was given a list of subjects available here that coincides with the DOST course requirements.. and above them all... Physics... is the subject... that appeals to me the most... *vomits. hinde joke lang.*

D: So, Ronald, gusto mong mag-Physics?

RH: *taken aback* Well, I do sir.

D: Why so?

RH: Why, sir, I have quite some experience with it, and I do believe that Physics is a very, very interesting subject. *Yes, very interesting indeed.*

D: Interesting. In what way is Physics interesting?

RH: *perspiring* Uhm... Well, for one, I love how Physics explains such simple things in a different perspective. *Yeah, right, a much more difficult perspective.* It further explains how things work the way they are. There are also some concepts that enlightened me in some things, such as speed, velocity and the like, *speed! velocity! walang ibang maisep! Hahaha!* which were once too trivial to me. And for that I believe Physics is quite an intriguing subject I would like to try. *Whew! Dyahe*

D: *Impressed* Yes indeed. We then share the same view that Physics is an altogether alternate universe, are we not?

RH: *Oo na lang.* Yes, sir.

D: *Chuckles* Indeed. May I know what particular area in Physics are you most interested in?

RH: *Huh, anong area?!* Ah, sir... *Aha!* I'm most interested in Molecular Physics. We have studied about the alpha, beta and gamma decays in our last grading period, and I believe that I would like to know more about them. *Yuck! Ang stupid ng sinabi. Pero pwede na.*

D: I see. So, you want to be a Molecular Physicist when you grow up?

RH: Um, not really, sir... *Ano pa bang trabaho ang Physics related?! Erm... alam ko na!* I would very much like to be a Physics teacher! I-

D: *Biglang nag-outburst!* TEACHER?! But pwede ka ring maging teacher in other courses besides Physics!

RH: *Mommy!* But sir, -

D: Mr. Habon, there are many applications of Physics in our world today. It is not limited in the academe. You can be an industrial engineer, or a researcher, or a banker, you know, some banks apply Physics in their blah blah blah...

RH: Or in NASA! *Sabi ni Mr. Arcilla eh. Thanks Panda!*

D: Yes, you can say that. But other than that you can still be a quantum physicist, we alone have the most researchers in our department. You can also be an engineer like me. I myself am paralleled to blah blah blah... *puro mga technical terms na*

RH: *Tae, anung lengwahe na ginagamit nya? I-interrupt ko na...* Er, sir, I would only be a teacher in Physics while I'm taking a Masteral course. Probably i'll be a researcher. *Whatever na lang. Parang researcher lang ang tunog-madaling job sa Physics e. *

D: Hmm.. Yes, yes indeed, but you're going too far into the future, Mr. Habon. *Too far in the future, ikaw nga nagtanong kung anu ambition ko. Sheesh.* I would first give you a small introduction in this course. *Kumuha ng libro ng Physics, tapos binuksan niya. Tungkol sa mga transverse waves. Ayan! Alam ko yan!* Ganyan kahirap ang formulas na kailangang i-memorize sa Physics. You know that these are blah blah blah...

RH: *Nagdudugo ilong* Um.. sir, I think with time I would learn these formulas. From where I came from, they gave us some excellent ground topics in Physics, so I think it wouldn't be that very difficult for me to cope up..

D: Ah, I see... *Kinunsulta ung piece of paper* taga Manila Science High School ka pala. I imagine the teachers there in Physics are quite competent?

RH: *Mrs. Mallari... Mr. Arcilla... imagine... competent.* Yes, very much, sir.

D: Well, let me tell you one thing. We have students from Manila Science, Philippine Science, and Quezon City Science High School. All competent. Pero pagdating nila dito meron silang attitude. They think they know everything. Nagka-cut sila ng classes because they know the topice. Too late do they realize na iba ang college sa high school. Hindi na sila nakakapasa. Diri-diretsong 5 na ang nakukuha nila. Now I want you to avoid that attitude. Is that clear?

RH: *May grudge sa science schools?* Yes, sir.

D: *Sizing me up* Well Mr. Habon, I would very much like to have you on our college. *Yesss!* ...But before that let me show you what you're up against.

RH: *Sige na lang! Tapos na e!* Yes, sir.

D: *Kumuha ng papel* This is the Physics Department's syllabus. You would start with Math 17, and when you're done with that.. Math 54... you'll have Calculus even in summer... then you'll have a thesis... *O.A. Version. Pero malapit na rin sa katotohanan.*Then you'll have Super Physics and Ultra Math... then Hyper Calculus 500... you'll need to memorize every Physics book... You must abandon every free time and turn yourself into a neeeeerrrrrd.... Oh, once you fail to understand a unit, you'll never understand the next ones... it's a sequential process, Mr. Habon... you cannot afford to drop or fail a subject... you must pass them all... pass them all... *drone*

RH: *Horrified* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! *sa utak ko lang yan.* *Ngiti na lang, Allan. Paniwalain mo ang loko. Hahaha. *

D: So, Mr. Habon, are you up to the challenge?

#43: TEENAGERS

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

#42: AS I MATURED

As I matured

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off.

I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished.

I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.

I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back.

I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of the kids did it

I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent.

#41: SOME POEMS

SHOOTING STAR

a shooting star
shines for a moment
then goes down

as it enacts
its inevitable descent
I wonder if
it feels fear
as it nears the ground?

EARTHWORM

alive

i crawl

aimlessly moving

while you pour the base

i writhe in agony

as you chuckled

and left me

to die.

DEWDROPS

condensation
the scientists imply
revelation
that God does cry

ELECTRIC FAN

moves in a cycle

like whirlpools do

but it does not take in

it gives away

a breath of air

on summer days

until we pull the plug
and stop it.

I was just hanging around my room yesternight when I came across this book my sister owned. It's a book full of poems. For one, I've never really liked this form of literature. As far as I remember, I just make poems when necessary, e.g. for assignments in Filipino and English. Though I must admit some poems sometimes leave me in a pondering state afterwards, like Richard Cory.

This book , though, is different. It does not contain long-versed poems like all others have. Rather, it is a collection of some of the most beautiful poetry I have ever read. It's poetry in its simplest. Using as few words and lines as possible, this collection proved that simplicity IS beauty.

I've been encouraged by this book to write my own. So in the dead of the night I concocted the four poems written above. Now I imagine that I sound nerdy right now. But those who DO understand see the beauty in my poems, bias aside. Lol. At any rate, I'm glad how these poems turned out.

Now I remembered how my writing career started! It's in Grade 2, when a teacher asked me to write a poem for our school paper. With the promise of my work being published, I made two beautiful poems that earned my teacher's praise. But it wasn't published; the editor-in-chief then said that they were too good- in fact too good to be understood as a Grade 2 student's handiwork. That's a compliment, I guess.

From then on, writing has become an easy task. Look at me now, writing poetry even in summer! But then again, I think it's just a by-product of unutterable boredom. Now I don't remember where those Grade 2 poems are, but thanks to them and my teacher, I developed a palate for literature, which I learned later on is an acquired taste.

#39: Take The Plunge

2007-04-22T06:39:00.000-07:00

#39: TAKE THE PLUNGE

Great! I'm blogging! Finally. Energy and drive are so hard to come by these days. What with a boring summer and all. Make that a very boring summer. Reading other people's blogs, I've become aware of what I've been missing. Damn. It's summer before the Big School after all, so I suppose I should do something worthwhile. But no, I'm stuck here in our computer shop, writing this post to pass the time, all while listening to the ramblings of these politicians on the court across our house. Yeah, it's election season after all. They're now coming out of the woodwork all smelling like St. Ives and looking like Renoirs. Ah, whatever happened to loads of homework and projects? Never thought I would miss them this much.

If there's any highlight in my dull summer it'd be the Cavite Club Outing. It all started when Klitty went at our house to visit me. It's such a treat when a friend comes over, and this friend has something up her sleeve. She wants to have an outing. I need to have an outing. Needless to say, amidst isaw and bitchery, we worked something out. So that's why we and four others were at the entrance gate of Circle Island's Swimming Resort. We secured a perfect spot, tanned our sexy bodies (only in some cases, including mine, of course), and took the plunge. The water's surprisingly chlorine-ey. About 90%, as one sexy girl's brown blog would point out. (Okay then woman, I broadcasted your blog right here, we're friends now, aight? Lol^__^) It was really cool. We first got into a wrestling match. You know, the one wit the girl humping the male's shoulder and wrestling the other girl to submission. LeYa was especially ferocious, if you ask me. But Klitty is lame and a weak-type. Nevertheless, we managed to scrape a few rounds in our favor by using some necessary tactics, e.g. kicking someone's balls and nipple-pinching. Nah, that didn't happen. But in case it did happen, don't flame me , fellas, it's all in the name of fun. Tee-hee.

Then we concocted another game, called London Bridge is Falling Down. It's technically hard to explain. The plot, tho, is that you have to choose between two things thought up by two people to gain supremacy over the outnumbered faction. Some funny choices are monkey-eating-eagle and eagle-eating-monkey, and Angelo and Tita Roma. (Oops, shouldn't have divulged that.)Okay, I know you don't get it. Nevertheless we had a great time in the penalty part. Ha-ha.

We also played Tag and 21. It's fun, too. I've also conceived of a nice game, called Drown-Klitty-and-Kiss-Ugly-Lifeguard game, but I guess at least one of us isn't so keen about it. So I just enacted the Drown-Klitty part, except that Klitty isn't my only target. I proceeded to drown everybody else, except Christian, of course, who obviously have the astounding ability to buoy himself. Haha. And he classically vomited in the pool. It's all over the place. Way to go, Barvi! Daryll enacted a hilarious rendition of a drowning person. We also had a 'Destroooy!' game going, but it went stale after some time. What topped the day tho was that drowning woman. We heard some sort of screaming at the kiddie pool. Imagine anyone actually drowning in water that shallow. But for a while there we thought it's dead. And imagine the woman's mother telling everyone that it's normal for her girl to drown. '"It happens to her everytime, you know." Haha. Allrightey then. The lifeguards were useless, either- they (yes, they, there were four of them) just kept pushing the woman's belly randomly. It's sort of funny for a while. But of course, we were alarmed. At last, the woman regained consciousness, and was escorted back to whatever medication the resort has in store for the poor drownee (if ever there was a word). Talk about bad tourism.

Alas, the day is over before we can say 'Butterfly Stroke 50 Kilometers'. With sun burns and food remnants in store, we bade each other teary-eyed goodbyes and wished each other well in the future. Okay, that was over the top. But that was the tail of it.

Aah, that was fun. Even if I've become sort of a negro, it's way better than being your own house's houseboy. Now I've nothing else to do-again. Hey! Once I'm just a houseboy, but now i'm a negro houseboy! That's pretty comforting, i guess, in a racist sort of way. Now i'll be really into it. So guess i'll be updating this blog with blasts from the pasts then. Expect me to turn up with blast-from-the-past posts next time. So there. Happy blogging, I guess.

#38: WHAT"S UP (AND DOWN )

Finally. My first blogging in weeks! Well, maybe days. But no matter. At last I had gotten the willpower to write on this site again. Now it's summer. And not-so many things had happened to me.

This summer's definitely bor-ing. Everyday I always find myself facing the computer, playing games and crap. My friends are Newgrounds and Youtube. And Naruto Arena! If you're a fan of Naruto, or even a patron of strategy games and such, try the last link. I tell you, it deps.

The point is, I always find myself facing the monitor nowadays. No beach party in Hawaii. No sightseeing in the Galapagos. No gondolas in Venice and tours in Paris. Hell, I can't even go to Manila nowadays. Drat it. Where's the money when you need it?

We can't go to the relatives in the province either. Even if I marginally hated being there, at least it would be a break from my otherwise boring lifestyle now. But no, we have to take care of the requirements in the various universities I applied to. And the issue about my course and all. So there really is not much choice.

Here's hoping that things would look up next week. But until then, I'd just be here facing my pixel-faced friend and updating this blog with flashbacks of recent things that's been happening 'round lately. Hey, did you like the new layout? It's Deathnote. It's the coolest thing since Bleach. Watch it in Youtube. In the meantime i'm gonna try to write something about it.

Gawd, I remember when Mrs. Correa asks us about the tone in every selection that we read in English. It can be sad, happy, angry, thoughtful, or whatever. But this crap I'd made for the past few minutes has an altogether different tone: whiny. Lol.

But i'm not complaining.

Yeah right.

Perfect
Not I; Is He?
Always Hidden, Unnoticed
Both Talented, One Better Than

Shadow
No One Cloaked But Me
Why Can They Not See
Or Is This Feeling Envy?

Conceit
I Write, You Speak
My Dreams Were Twice
Taken Away From Me

Competitor
I Lost, You Won
I Really Do Hope
That Gives You Pleasure

Trickster
Always Gets The Upper Hand
I Wish For You To Crash
As I Go Down Hell To Burn.

#36: THINK OF ME

Think of me
Think of me fondly when we've said goodbye
Remember me once in awhile
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me

We never said our love was ever green or as enchanting as the sea
But if you can still remember;
Stop and think of me

Think of all the things we've shared and seen
Don’t think about the way things might have been

Think of me,
Think of me waking silent and resigned
Imagine me trying to hard to boot you from my mind
Recall those days, look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day when i won't think of you

Flowers fade
The fruits of summer fade
They have their seasons, so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think

Of me.

#35: GRAD BLUES

"Only as high as I reach can I grow,

Only as far as I seek can I go,

Only as deep as I look can I see,

Only as much as I dream can I be."

The clock's taunting me again. Its second hand swings effortlessly with the minute's walk and the hour's limp. Like what I always do these past few days during my vacant time(and i'm sure you all do too), I kept reminiscing the past four years with my has-been-innocent, not-so-young-now mindframe. Try as I might, I can't accept the fact that the attendant's gonna stop this one hell of a roller coaster ride so soon. It's tomorrow, dammit. It's tomorrow.

We've been practicing for quite some time now on our graduation. We're like a chorale, what with all the songs having four voices: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. Mrs. Carlos has been proud of our batch being fast learners. We also trained for the rites; how to clap, how to sit, to stand, how to march, and how to tell your seatmate to shut up when he's noisy. In some parts it got a little boring. I haven't got the chance to relish the free time and class bonding either. It's either taking care of the yearbook and newspaper(which, FYI, is still unfinished), or doing some requirements for our clearance. *Sigh* But all's well that ends well. I forecast a kickass graduation rites tomorrow-no, later- and a tear-strained multitude in Thanks To You.

We've had our recollection this week. I can say that it is altogether a different experience, what with all the commotion that happened. I learned things about myself I never knew before. Then Father Something played Through The Years; the whole batch practically broke down. Gawd, imagine a sea of students crying their hearts out. I thought i'm gonna shed my tears after some time too( luckily I didn't. Ha!).

We didn't get to experience the baccalaureate(pardon the misspelling) because we were needed in another school for some awarding in Journalism. Summary: That old man bitching his sorry life away, Palanca bitching Luningning-y crap again, and Ekel bitching around MonSay. Well that's news.

***

It's tomorrow, dammit. It's tomorrow.

I've done it all. I've studied at night, been crazy, played sports, sang songs, made friends (and enemies), performed with pride, performed with shame, cried tears, flashed smiles, gave hugs, exchanged blows and kicks, gave gifts, won awards, lost some, attended seminars, sucked up to teachers, hated them too, cheated(come on!), overslept, came in tardy, bonded with friends, went places, open-forummed, bitched around, passed, flunked, everything. But in the four years I've been on the MaScian bandwagon i'm still in a daze. Then suddenly everything became clear: i'm leaving for good. I feel like Nate O'Riley after a damn hangover. The reality just punches you full on the face.

Up to now, the acceptance meter looks something like LOADING [[[[[[[[[[[[[______50%. A part of me's already jumping about, all packed and ready to go. But another's still hanging on that flagpole. I just need more time. Especially since my dedication book's not yet full. Lol.

If I had any regrets, that would be the fact that I didn't focus on my studies. My insecurities got the better of me, and got sidetracked. As a result, I've no gold, or at least silver, medal to show my parents. I feel like the ultimate loser. And my parents rubbing it in doesn't make it any better. But then again, after reading this article one of my favorite bloggers made, I realized how much I should be thankful for. How much? Just look at the stars in the night sky. That much. Ack, I just realized what a thankless job God has. Well, for one, I still got Outstanding in the Star Awards. I'll get another medal tomorrow. And a cash prize. I've won awards more than any average student could ever garner. I've enhanced my talents and grew in the field of my expertise. And being a graduate of a prestigious school like MaSci is in its own a very welcome blessing. I feel better just thinking about it. My parents would just have to bear it, I guess.

The future looks bright for me. There's no time to dwell in the past for today. Just a few hours from now i'll be a changed man. I'll be a graduate. And then soon i'll get on a course that I love. And i'll really try this time to make my dreams happen. But if something does not go my way still, what the heck, that's God's plan for me in his grand design. So no worries. ^__^

P.S. If I got someone to thank in this article, it would be Nika Calilung. One of her articles inspired me to write this one. Love u fat arms!

#33: Onward To Oblation

2007-03-12T00:03:00.000-07:00

#33: ONWARD TO OBLATION

Hey, it just came to my mind that I haven't told anybody anything about the college university i'm going to. Well, that's obvious in the title and picture alone. I just went to the school a while ago to scout for a dormitory. Believe me, it's a circus. We got passed around and got a little lost on the way. Got culture shocks in the process. Ah, just reliving the day itself is tiring. I'm glad it's over. But what would the scenario be during the enrollment? Ugh. I shudder to think.

I also went to UST. I was a included in the TOP 100 there(Psycho and Educ's my course), so my ego needs some calming down then. In case you're wondering, I didn't try for La Salle and Ateneo. I know it would hurt my parent's bank accounts, even with the scholarship. I also thought of future inferiority complexes I would experience there alongside the rich and the famous. I wouldn't risk it.) The UST campus is clean, it's got a mini-mall inside, it's like Glorietta. The environment's more peaceful there. My father's half-thinking to get me enrolled there. Yeah, he saw the facilities. Actually, I had second thoughts, too. But I stuck out to UP till the end. It's my calling. And God knows I worked hard for it.

Argh, the agony. When the results came about, everyone was rejoicing. Most of our batch passed. That is to be expected, of course. ^__^ But then again, some did not. Yet some, still, are hanging by the thread. I'm one of them. I'm a pending case. I mean, i was a pending case. I dunno what I would do. I bid and waited for my time. My application was delayed by a miniscule mentality. Fortunately, I passed in my dream school, University of the Philippines-Diliman, BA Journalism. And I can't believe a couple of principal's signatures almost prevented me from reaching that high.

Right now, i'm not even sure if I would pursue Journalism over Biology, which I passed too. I really like the former. It's my passion, really. But i think my parents are not too happy about it. They want me to be a doctor who would take care of them until they get old. Plus I heard a couple of old women at the bus talking about their sons' courses. One took up nursing, the other computer science. They said that once their sons finished school they would send them to the US or Canada, and when they're forty years old they would be rich, whilst those who would choose to work here would rot. Now I do not dare reprimand them for their crooked unnationalistic mentality, given that they're at their prime and I am just a seed reaching for the zenith, so I just engrossed myself to my thoughts. But they saw me. They even talked to me and recognized that I'm a MaScian. But when I told them my intended course, they didn't even bat an eyelash, as opposed to the gushes and wows that I'm expecting them to utter. I was a little swayed by that. And someone told me that being a Journalist really is a big risk. But what the hell, I love risks.

I'm still confused right now. Really, it's hard to decide. Should I take the course that would give me stability, or the job that I would love even in poverty? Lord, give me a sign.

#32: DRIVE

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before,
and it seems to have a vague
haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find I
should be the one behind the wheel.

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there,
I'll be there.

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive?

It's driven me before
and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that
when I drive myself my light is found.

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there,
I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine
hold the wheel and drive?

#31: THE FAT BELLY IS TALKING

Gawd, I've been neglecting my blog for weeks! No, days. Well whatever. But anywhoo, here I go.

It's a day off for me. It's Wednesday, and no classes. This day's supposed to be project day. Yeah, right. I'm doing this dang blog. So there. Actually, it's Thursday today, 2 weeks before I last edited this post. So there. Don't bother understanding this paragraph, will ya?

So what happened these past few weeks? Aah, yeah, I remember. The glories of a consecutive FAT and the Periodic Test. We just got over it. It just went like a breeze. I'm not even reviewing. I'm like in an 'i-don't-care-i'm-already-a-UP-student' mode. I came in late the first 2 days. I hope that doesn't give MaSci a bad reputation on the teachers' side. So that's basically it. Haha. No worries.

I just finished The Testament. Okay, I read it twice. It's actually nice. Oh, gawd, it rhymes! Yeah. Read it, it's good. Such immense money at stake. If you want lawyers, jungles and tribes with billionaire missionaries, then this book's for you. I still think the ending needs work, tho. But thanks anyway to a certain Sarah Horlador for pointing out that it's not actually the heirs' fault why they turned out that way. Sure, sure.

What else? Oh, soulmate LeYa de Tanggera (whose blog I spammed a while ago =p) and I just created the killer tango routine! Compliments to YouTube, of course. After a grueling n to the nth hours, we had done a series of steps that would make Ma'am Carlos go 'Wow'. Well, that's what we thought, at least. That's what our classmates thought so, too. But it went out a little different than what we expected. Mrs. Carlos had some kind of twist going on in our dance by changing the song, so It's not Viva El Tango anymore, it can be Beep, or Sway, or Buttons, or El Bimbo, or whatever song she pleases. Thus we ended up dancing some remix in the middle of the song, and we have had to stop for a change of music. It is irritating. Well good thing LeYa and I kept our cool. We managed to get a nifty grade.

There's this star awards thing that they call in MaSci, wherein you get the chance to get an award, given that you have what it takes to be qualified for one. I don't know if I would get one, but hell, I'd sell my gorgeous body for a second meritorious. And what I would not do for a first meritorious. Haha. Talk about desperate.

Right now the playlist's playing (duh) Irreplaceable by Beyonce. I dunno, the song's like drugs. My stummy (stomach + tummy. laugh or i'll kill you.) is full of desserts. What are four donuts, a slice of sansrival cake and a strawberry waffle doing inside me? Storing a library of fats for me, probably. Why, thank you.

Aargh. I really need an Ab King Pro. Any donations, in cash, kind, or pray-over will do. But I do prefer cash.

Hell, what am I saying.

#30: Is It Okay If I Call You 'Mine'

2007-02-23T06:26:00.000-08:00

#30: IS IT OKAY IF I CALL YOU 'MINE'

Is it ok if I call you mine

Just for a time?

And I will be just fine

If I know that you know that I'm wanting

Needing your love

If I ask of you is it alright

If I ask you to hold me tight

Through a cold tough night

'Cause there may be a cloudy day inside

And I need to let you know

That I might be needing your love

And what I'm trying to say isn't really new

It's just the things that happen to me

When I'm reminded of you

Like when I hear your name

Or see a place that you've been

Or see a picture of your grin

Or pass a house that you've been

In one time or another

It sets off something in me I can't explain

And I can't wait to see you again

Oh I love your love

And what I'm trying to say isn't really new
It's just the things that happen to me

When I'm reminded of you

#29: First Dance

2007-02-20T19:15:00.000-08:00

#29: FIRST DANCE

First, a calm morning surprise

Wrapped unsuspectingly

Esconced in an azure shell

Of endearing embrace

If blue skies did not make you smile

Then the yellow sun will

The photographs of you and me

Can be seen clearly on golden rays

The final formal question

Presented itself on wooden film

The approval was not given

And so did the refusal.

Your lips had formed one word

Simple, yet I am smitten

The wait, I say, is worth the while

For it gave a sweeter reply.

Now I hold the fruits of earth

With my two hands

Waiting, waiting

Amidst the flurry of cloth

Then you came

And immediately defined

What breathing, living

Is all about.

The night is still young

And the music plays fast

So I bide my time

And waited

I walked towards you

For then the tune

Is slowing down

As the people are

Holding your hand

Amidst the colored sea

Is enough

But you gave more.

We began to sway

To music unremembered

For my brown eyes only see

This beauty in maroon.

The music would not stop

As if we had conspired

To lure you to this floor

For eternity

I asked if I could

wrap my arms around you

And prayed you'd allow me

You did.

Holding on tight

I never let go

For in this moonlit night

Everything is clear.

Right then and there

You have become

My first dance

My first love.

#28: NEWS ON JOURNALISM ( PART 2 )

And then the bad news: The Nucleus is out. Our newspaper, yeah. It's great. The fruit of our hardwork has presented itself to us in a form of a 2-sectioned wad of large glossy paper.

And yeah, there are issues. First, the typos. Unavoidable, really. But some errs are just too obvious to miss. Then there's the name switch. Students are named for articles that are not theirs, intentional or unintentional. I'm a victim of this, too. My poem, "Nightingale" was unnamed, and Angel's interview with Ma'am Sabado was credited to me. Now I'm clearing that stuff.

The problem doesn't stop there. There's this issue about Gidget, our associate editor, about not getting the facts right on her editorial. Granted that, but still, I think Gidget's editorial is kickass.

And lastly, there's this thing about BJ, the other associate editor. Well, more of an ass editor. I've been silent on this issue for a while, but hey, i've been swimming in his pits for a time now. I went to his blog to read on his prom update. But what I saw was a post about him being a hero on this issue and all. This is really way beyond me. But everything just came back after reading that goddamned post. I was really furious.

He said he did that in the guise of defending us from the admin and all. Get real, man. You just really wanna suck up, I can tell. And if you really do think that you need to defend us, well I don't think so. Everything you say always comes out wrong, and you know it. You said it yourself, you're tactless. We don't need you to muddle up the issue some more.

And I did not flame you. I swear. But I would've done the same if I know what flaming is. Someone used my name. And he's a coward. But it just goes to prove that I'm not the only one who knows about your friggin' kiss-assing. And I do think too that the flamer is you. I have half a mind to consider that angle. You needed an issue, you insulted yourself, accused others, and expressed your sorry heart to Ma'am. I think you're desperate and crazy enough to do that.

Man, sucking up has dramatically evolved from volunteering in erasing the blackboard to stepping on other people's reputations.I'm tired of your tattletaling. I know you've been denigrating my reputation to our adviser for a while, telling her of those innumerable insults I've thrown behind your back, when in the process of your tattletaling the one who's backstabbing is you. Yes, I did say profanities on you, but it's after you had thrown one. Just look on my tagboard and you'll know what I'm talking about. And I thought your congratulatory statements on me were true. I would find out later that before one meeting, you spilled the beans on her and gave me a bad name like you always do. What a coincidence, backfighting after I won the Valencia. You jealous? You wanna have one too? Oops, I forgot, you can't. So you just contented yourself in dirtying up a rival. How pathetic. A word of advice: don't backstab. It's a faggy way to fight. And there's no need for me to do what you're doing, wrecking reputations and all. Because you've got none to start with.

Don't say we don't have a problem, internal, external, or in-between your ass. Because the problem is you. I've forgotten about this juvenile game of yours, but I just can't avoid your cutesy little post. I really don't care if you cry your heart out. I think you deserve it. So stop acting like you're innocent. Cause we all know you're not.

Feel the conscience tugging at your heartstrings, man. And do something about it.

#27: The News on Journalism (Part 1)

2007-02-18T18:30:00.000-08:00

#27: THE NEWS ON JOURNALISM (PART 1)

I really need to update. So, even if i'm brain-dead and all, i must, i must, i must increase my bust.

Um, that went wrong, didn't it.

Well anywhoo, i'm gonna post this one because I just went to my blog inspiration- my once fat-armed, now thin-armed friend Nika! *clap*. Her posts' great it's like enervon; it gives me energy to make my own. It rhymed! Lol. Just search the links, she's there.

So, i'm not gonna talk about recent stuff for a while, uhm, especially the prom. But I tell you, it's perfect. Maybe a little too perfect. But I guess I'm gonna be selfish for a while and keep it to myself. For I'm gonna backtrack on days waay before for the sake of updating. Here's the lowdown on Journalism.

***

Aah, good news first. I won the Teodoro Valencia Cup on Journalism! *applause.*

(Hey, please let me boast in this post, okay? ^__^)

It was really hard. Bobbie Chua (starlet exemplare) and I went to Quezon City Science High School to compete against other schools on a national level. My confidence is low back then, for I just placed 7th on Feature writing on the NSPC, adding that to the fact that I was on the same room with the Saint Paul Pasig Girl who won first in both Editorial and Newswriting in the NSPC. Inferiority complex, yeah. It's a good thing I changed rooms when I saw the terror teacher who would supervise us. I'm really scared, because we had just known about this contest the day before, whilst others had been preparing for weeks. And the one guarding us is a student teacher Mam Basco look-alike. No matter really; that's life. So this is what transpired during the contest:

News: The first leg of the contest. I was watching the St. Paul Pasig girl. This was her forte. But my will to win is stronger than my pessimistic spirit. I did this:

WASHINGTON, USA- President George Bush yadda yadda...

I think that heading and my title did it. I'm confused, because I wrote a news about Bush giving a speech about intensifying troops in Iraq. And I eliminated the Saddam Hussein being hanged part. But the others did something about Democrats and crap. Thank God I followed my intuition. I'm looking for my scratch papers to remember what really made win in this category. I just can't.

Editorial: The topic is one I'm comfortable with, and after reading the notes, I believe the judge is a happy-go-lucky person who is lenient in the rules of editorial writing and borders more on its creative parts. Being a Feature writer, I think it's an advantage. Again, I'm taking a peek on the Paulinian. The proctors had been reading her notes for some time now, and they seem impressed. Habon, don't compare! x_x

Features: At last, my forte! This is the part I'm most confident I'd win. The topic's about the May 2007 elections. I made some kind of feature about that topic some time ago, so I just patterned my piece to that. These are some of the kickass lines:

"..Now I know that my mother's belief that Politics is dirty isn't true. For Politics is not dirty. It is deadly."

" Politicians, if you don't want to be branded as pigs, snakes, or every other animal on the chinese zodiac, then don't act like one."

" I wish that politics would be as clean as the barong tagalog I would wear on my inauguration day."

The title of the composition? VOTE [INSERT NAME HERE] FOR PRESIDENT.

Sports: I'm so not familiar with the jargons used in Sports Writing, so was lucky we were instructed to do a sports feature. It's about a woman boxer named "The Hurricane". So my title is A FEATHER IN THE HURRICANE'S CAP. My intro goes like this:

" This lady packs a punch. And I'm not talking about the beverage either."

Science: Dang. I'm officially brain-dead on this part. I dunno there's something like this, this Science Writing. So I just did crap and slept the rest of the time away.

Copyreading: I know I won't do well on this part anyway. Heck, I don't even know what a slugline is. So, like Science, I just did crap and slept the rest of the time away.

Dang, I just remembered that I left my digital watch on my armchair table during the contest.

You see, I was listening intently on Mrs. Correa's English lecture when Mr Victorio announced:

Mr. V: "RONALD ALLAN P. HABON, MOST OUTSTANDING JOURNALISM (mark, JOURNALISM) IN TEODORO VALENCIA!!
Habon: *stunned*
Leah: AAAAY! Seatmate ko siyaaah!!!
Jorge: AAAAY! Hiniram niya bolpen koowh!
Classmates: Ano daw?! Best in Asia?!!

So there. It was a blur. Mr. Victorio's telling me "i'm proud of you! I'm proud of you!" and Ma'am Basco telling me I won First in News, Second in Feature, Second in Editorial, First in Sports. Or Second in News, First in Feature. It didn't matter really. The awarding's supposed to be that day. But we were not there. That didn't matter too. As long as I had proven myself. For months now I've been thinking of what a failure I had been in being an English Club president and living in someone else's shadow. Now I had worth. It may not be as showy or as vocal as oratorical or some other form of English contest, but it still counts. After all, it's not everyday that a student wins 5 awards in a single play. I made Mr. Victorio and Ms. Basco proud at last. The two teachers are literally jumping. Well, i've got He Who's Up There to thank. Those 30-second conversations really worked! Walking up the stage with your achievements being recognized is such a utopic feeling. All I can say is, WOW.

+END OF EXCESSIVE PRIDE + ^__^

I'll just use my bragging rights just once, and that's now. I promise I won't let this thing get into my brain.

#26: Music Box

2007-02-14T16:37:00.000-08:00

#26: MUSIC BOX

This is my valentine post. Hope you like it ^__^

***

It’s all because of you
I’m feeling sad and blue
You went away now my life is just a rainy day
I love you so
How much you’ll never know
You’ve gone away and left me lonely
Untouchable memories seem to keep haunting me
Of love so true
That one day turned my gray skies blue
But you’ve disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I’m wishing you were here with me
Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you’re gone I just don’t know what to do..

For as long as I can remember, the music box had been there. It is old; its age could be seen in its chipped wooden exterior. But even so it is beautiful, its obsidian black color inlayed with gold trimmings and a chinese pagoda design. It has a special place in my Mom's wooden cabinet, right beneath her photo albums. When my sister and I were kids we would sneak into mom's room and extract the box from the cabinet. We would fight over who would turn the key. Then we'd open the box, its creaky little hinges making an almost inaudible sound as we peek into what's inside.

The contents never ceased to amaze. Jewelries of all sorts of sizes abound: silver hoop earrings, a broken gold watch, diamond earrings, some rings, and gold bangles. And then there were some things I don't know. But the most arresting part of the box, of course, is its music. Some sweet song's being played by a mechanical musical fork inside the box, while a miniature ballet dancer and a chauffeur-like gentleman spins around, creating an illusion that they're dancing to the beat of the song. It was a euphoric feeling, everytime we open the box. It's like going to some kind of wonderful place.

It was only recently that I heard the same tune again. But now, it's not just some tune; it's music. Those sounds that had once led my young mind in deep reverie now has words and meaning. I was really pleased to have found the song, after all these years. Again I went to my mom's room. The old music box's still there in its usual place. No, it had not accumulated dust, for I well know that mom plays it often, in days when father's away and at sea. Once again I turned the key and opened the latch. I was welcomed to the all-too familiar tune, just like the days when I'm still a child.

A revelation had presented itself to me; this is a solid proof of true love. Though the music box had passed the deluge of time, the melody goes on. This box is dad's gift to mom when they were still lovers. And years later, the sweet music still plays.

If only you were here

You’d wash away my tears

The sun would shine

And once again you’d be mine all mine

But in reality

You and I will never be

‘Cause you took your love away from me
If only you were here

You’d wash away my tears

The sun would shine

Once again you’d be mine, all mineB

ut in reality

You and I will never be

‘Cause you took your love away from me
You took your love away from me..

Love ya mom. Love ya dad. ^__^

#25: WARNING : DRABBLE POST

Listening to: Seize the Day- Avenged Sevenfold

Feeling: Crappy

So damn dizzy. Crappy crappy day.

I'm late, as usual. And, as usual, the guard overlooked me and my rubber shoes. Iric divulged Jaycee's award-winning performance to Bobbie. It is funny and crappy at the same time. See Bobbie run. Run Bobbie run!

It's the typical kind of day, really. There's a new trend in Lawrence. It's called the 'Uhn, Sir' epidemic. You have to hear it yourself. Math time with Sir Luna will never be the same again. Imagine a whole section moaning "uhn... sirhhh!" like hormone-crazed beings whenever they get the chance.

"Uh, Sir Luna? uhn...!"

"Uh, file case? Uhhhh!!!"

"Uhn, Richard? Uhhhh!!!"

"Uhh, hangin? Uhhh!!"

Our English activity is fun. Flori drew Friendship. Jonathan drew Cat. Aika drew Smiley. Leah drew Eraserheads. Klitty drew Spongecola. Julie and Aia drew Paradise. I drew Sexy.

***

We had our Nucleus meeting thingy. There's lots of talk and cheapandas. Our newspaper qualified for the T. Valencia. Woo-hoo. Then we're gonna sort of do the yearbook and newsletter and, yeah, clean the room. Hah, as if.

***

We just made our Filipino radioplay today at BJ's house. Gods, the outcome's great. Thank heavens we don't have any divas and feelings in our group; everyone cooperated. The result's awesome. Tho we went home really late (I've just arrived, it's 11), it was well worth it.

***

I just got dumped. What a feeling. I feel crappy. And it sux. Aargh. But not to worry, self. You'll get over it. The piknik tasted nice anyway.

***

Math Camp's tomorrow. I still haven't packed any friggin' clothes. And I can't seem to summon enough energy to pack, much more take part in that overnight stay. But between a 50-something lesson plan PowerPoint presentation with write-ups, acetate graphs and god-knows-what-else and that as project, I think there's no need for second thoughts. Anyone who'll choose the former deserves a Pulitzer and a laurel wreath for heroism.

***

I'm dizzy, I'm crappy, I'm loaded with assignments, i'm tired, I'm crappy, i'm late, and I'm dumped. And oh, I'm crappy.

#24: AFTER BROADBAND'S ONSLAUGHT

Thank heavens broadband's repaired. For the whole week I've been going to computer shops with internet. No offense for users of this line, but DSL just don't cut it. I can't even open blogger with it. Man!

So now, here I am. This thing would most likely consist of drabbles and other sorta litters collected over the week, so here goes.

***

Intrams is just over. For almost three days, it's finished at last. Naturally, issues abound. For example, the KlinTon pairing having bagged the prize. Now I wouldn't comment on that. Well I played my game some, which is volleyball. I'm not sporty or anything, and I don't really like volleyball that much, so it's an o.k. thing for me to be a benchwarmer. The times I played were not bad, too. I'm rather good at setting the ball. But I don't do spikes or fancy stuff, yeah, as somebody reiterated to me some time after. The bottom line is, we lost. Our team crapped against the 2nd year. Gawd, it was such a Kodak losing moment. Balls are everywhere, if you know what I mean. Oh, the shame! But then again, the thing's way past me.

The cheering's actually good. The dance of the anorexics, as Minnelle said. I love that girl, she always makes me go lol. And I'm not saying that bec. I know she'd read this either. Nice, original choreography by Mr. Iric Lunar, Anyway. My soulmate LeYa's there, too, screaming "ENERGY!" All while pouting her lippy. You vain girl! Their second dance's worse. It was so funny. Thing is, I was watching them dance, and I thought, "I should've suggested some material into their arms, like pompoms or lotadas or something, they look so bare!" And what is a lotado? I dunno too, it just came in my consciousness. How weird was that?

Well the dance was just fine. I honestly thought the third years would win (the one with the Aklia girl strutting her stuff), but the fourth years bagged the prize. It's a plus for us there, tho. So no prob.

***

Jaycee brought to the Intrams her little sister, Ethikita. I mean, Joy. She's a snob like her sister. And she slapped Amity and hugged Mrs. Correa's son, Superman. But, aww, the baby's so cute. It makes me think of my past dream of being a pre-school teacher. It still is, but mom just wrote Psycho and Bio on the application form, so, bye-bye kids.

***

I had a little rift with Klitty of Clitoria during the Intrams. To think of fighting royalty! A big no no. It's because of this FarEnce banner. It's made with chalk. And I'm getting calcium carbonate all over my clothes. So I asked Katwiener to fold it. And after a while she still hadn't folded it. So in a rage I sorta shouted at her and it made her angry. Now I'm not used to that side of Keithrina, so I walked out. We're okay now, but still considering she's the first to say sorry. I admit I'm not good in confrontations, and I think that as a man, I should've done that first. Now that's a thought to consider. Anyway, Klitty, Katweiener , Keithrina and Katrina Manalon are one and the same. Cheers.

***

The Intram's nice, overall. I got to enjoy the free time. Too bad I hadn't pushed myself to catch up on the tests I had missed. Dozens of pending make-up tests and projects, here I go.

#23: FIXING A BROKEN HEART

There was nothing to say the day she left
Just filled a suitcase full of regrets
I held a taxi in the rain
Looking for someplace to ease the pain
Then like an answered prayer
I turned around and found you there

You really know where to start
Fixing my broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart

Now I don't understand what I'm going through
There must be a plan that lead me to you
Because the hurt just disappears
In every moment that you are near

Just like an answered prayer
You made the loneliness easy to bear

Soon the rain will stop falling
And I'll forget the past
Cause here we are at last...

You really know where to start
Fixing my broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools can cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart

#22: Brouhaha (and Stuff)

2007-01-19T22:31:00.000-08:00

#22: BROUHAHA (AND STUFF)

brou·ha·ha (brū'hä-hä')

n. An uproar; a hubbub. [French, of imitative origin.]

Got the term from a newspaper article, the author of which have used it quite a lot of times. 'Brouhaha' is a fitting word to use, what with all the ruckus that had happened these past few days. Right now i'm doing this article amidst the noise of the ati-atihan and the marching bands (it's fiesta here, by the way), the irritation I feel to my equally irate chatmate, and the annoying thought that I still don't know what the hell Grimace is. Well tag if you know. It'll be one less problem.

First off, I received my test results in this summative test in Physics(the one I was talking about in my last post). The score's actually not bad. In fact, it's quite high, as compared to the section's test mean. Thanks to Kat M. and Xtian S., who had the patience to teach me some. And I also cleared some requirements in Math. So that's a minus in my workload. I still got ComSci, tho. Nonetheless, I'm inside the circuit again, y'all!

Periodic exams are coming up, so naturally, nobody's reviewing. Hah! This grading period I was not included in the reviewer's circle. Crap, no subject's left for me to cover, that's why. So, wish me luck, way to go.

Intrams, finally, is underway. Props for Ms. Sabado and whoever pushed her to approve that. Two days in a half, man! Whoo! I heard the Seniors' cheering squad's good. As for the games, I don't wanna join, really. I just need the free time. But they put me in Men's Volleyball. Ah, just shoot me.

***

Newsflash: Field trip's supposedly out. Aw man, that sucks.

***

I had this sleepover at my house, first time. Not actually a sleepover, you know how MaScians are. We had to finish our movie in Humanities. We're on the editing stage right now. My crib's the most plausible place, since it has a computer shop, and we need Window's Moviemaker.

So, no prob. Except for the fact that I hadn't informed mom yet. When I did, she turned beet red, saying that now's not the time, since the maid took the boot(it's the latter's decision, actually), and there's no one to take care of us. I think her good ol' son's kissy-kiss did it. Ha! My charms worked, even with mom!

My plan was to go home early, maybe three o'clock, to clean the house. But it was whammied by a certain school personnel, who delayed a release of a much-needed form, knowing that I had requested it two weeks ago, all the while conjuring alibis and possessing an air of annoying indiffrence, ascertained by his pseudo-authoritative attitude which is not at all needed in a job of that nature. Heck, I arrived home at six.

I told mom only four people will go. Nine arrived.

Allan: mami, anjan na sila!

Mommy: Welco-

Lawrence: GOOD EVENING PO!

Mommy: *faints*

They joined Klitty in watching the 'Mean Girls' flick, then ate, then went to business. Well, not really. What will a group of overnighting students who have access to computers do? Play counter-strike, of course! I sort of expected this scenario to happen. And what's worse, the cd that contained the video files turned against us and cracked, at the time when we needed it the most! How ungrateful. So we were stuck there for a time doing nothing, except play s'more. We tried to review for the periodical test, but it's a no-good situation. I started doing the opening credits, and some looked for songs and sound effects to match. That's about it. Then we got to bed at 4:00 and slept for two hours.

Second day. I woke up to the bandemonium outside. Oh yeah, it's fiesta. I reckon i'll be seeing a lot of ati-atihans and donation envelopes today. We resumed our filmmaking. The title's The Perpetual Pearl Massacre. We found awesome sites for horror music. It's good James brought his usb. Sarah, ever the life of the party, discovered some hilarious effects. Oh, Jaycee washed our plates. Good Jaycee!*pats Jaycee's head*

We did the most thhat we can. We mixed and matched, and, poof! It became Koko Krunch. That means, the outcome's crappy, but formidable. There's some really great scenes and hilarious clips. Maybe you'll get to watch the movie in YouTube someday.

Prom's two weeks from now. Well, let's just see what happens.

#21: A G.C. is Falling

2007-01-16T06:36:00.000-08:00

#21: A G.C. IS FALLING

Aah.. where am I going?

Walking down this road to a land called 'nowhere', surrounded by everything and nothing, I took time to reflect. It seems that the same tune has been playing on my mind, the same bleak landscape in my backdrop. I thought time would stop for me; it did not. Ultimately, I was left alone in this desolate road without nothing to hold on to.

I'm falling.

I'm failing.

Well lemme get this clear: i'm talking about my academics.

I realized it's been such a looong time since I last attended all of my classes in one day. You see, I've been more than busy this past month, what with the moving Journalism deadline and the contests to boot. I sort of neglected my studies. And now I'm facing the consequences.

It's really terrible. What was once the enthusiastic, nerdy me now had the guts to cut classes. The horror! And the times that I don't has me attending classes, stupid and clueless: I was left hanging with English's Jean Valjean; my Physics notebook is barenaked. I feel like a neanderthal in ComSci. Don't even get me started with Math. And Advanced Chemistry is... wait. Oh yeah, it's still the same. Ha-ha.

Well anyway this really sucks. I gave myself a lot of internal kickass today. Just ten hours ago I took a summative test with topics I don't even know, and, I found out with horror, don't really care about. And it's not just the tests, mind you. I'm also stuck with projects and make-up recitations. Ugh. And the worst thing of all, is that I had become a dependent. I often ask my classmates, especially Katrina, to teach me this lesson and that, and I think I may have become quite a burden to them. I know their patience won't last forever, so I have to really do something about it.

Tomorrow will be a new day of summative tests, make-up exams, supplementary quizzes, missed lectures and delayed projects. But pathetic as my case may be, I think I can still make it. I'd just think optimistically and motivate myself to blend in to the norm again. Right. I can do this! Limit theorems, here I come!

Eureka, one of blogging's perks. Just writing about this thing actually made me feel better.

cheers! ^_^

#20: ON PHILANTROPHY (AND STUFF)

I was riding this jeepney from Rotanda to Manila Science, our school, some days before Christmas. This was the time when Post #13 happened (just refer 'round this blog.). I vaguely remember it to be a tiring day, what with all that walking in Makati, to Glorietta and back, and subsequently buying that cat from Gift Gate *ack*. I was sooo tired . I must've looked like some dog beggin' for cookies. Well anyway I was sort of like half-sleeping and half-awake, lest we'll miss our stop(I was with a friend). Then this man from the street just rode the jeepney and sat at the floor. Well surely everyone was surprised. Who wouldn't? The jeep was not full, why sit on the floor?

Our queries were answered when he spoke.

"Manghihingi lang po kami ng konting donasyon para sa mga kapuspalad.." et al.

Okay, how may times have I been in this scenario? For the umpteenth time, I guess. Whilst I was evaluating the intricacies of poverty I was awoken from my reverie with an envelope placed before my lap, by who else but the man. I guess this is where I would place the money. The envelope has a letter inside, explaining how the handicapped needs money for Christmas, or something like that. Then there's this box with enlisted amounts that we need to check:

We are pleased with your donation: (Check one)

___1000 __ 500 php __ 200 ___100 __50 ___20 ____ others

Ohkaay, that was some culture shock. While I was deliberating upon the authenticity of this letter, and the weirdness of it all, the man suddenly belted out some Christmas Carol, all the while shaking some sort of improvised castanet. Not exactly inspiring, I might say. But then again, that's what people do for charity.

This is the hard part: should I give donations to this man and his so-called organization? Well my mother always taught me not to give alms. "Mahirap na. Masasanay ang mga yan." Even my friend who was with me never gave alms. Heck, everybody didn't. They just returned the envelopes. But poor me, always a sucker for these. Everytime I encounter these kinds of things, I just shrug and give. Sabi nga ng kasama ko, "Habon, uto-uto ka talaga!" Nevertheless, I gave alms still.

After the man left toting his stuff, castanets and all, I was thinking of why I give so freely to charity, even to the point of being gullible. Yeah. There was a time in my life when I encountered this Sisa-like woman, ten-year-old-me ago. The woman was, like, just walking round in circles without direction at all. She's clutching this plastic bag like it was some sort of prized possession.My palpitating heart was so moved that I gave her my 50- peso baon. I was so surprised when she wept! She stared at me, bleary-eyed as she was, in a sort of mental expression of gratitude. It was a shock. Now, I realized that that 50 pesos means so much to her, whilst I just skipped dessert to get over it. That's probably my defining moment.

So there, stupid as I seem, I gave in to my philantrophy and thought, To hell with it. After all, it's Christmas.

Such encouraging words.

#18: WHEN STARS GO BLUE

Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in her wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely, I'll follow you
When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely, I'll follow you
When the stars go blue

#17: SOLILOQUY OF A TORPE

Haha.. 'soliloquy'... bakit kaya ilang beses ko narinig 'tong word na 'to sa isang araw?

so·lil·o·quy (sə-lĭl'ə-kwē)

A dramatic or literary form of discourse in which a character talks to himself or herself or reveals his or her thoughts without addressing a listener.

Iba talaga sa jornal. Andami mong matututunang mga terms.

Sige, eto na ang maikli kong 'soliluquy'. Ta-naan.

cheers ^__^

Dedline namin kanina ng publishing sa newspaper, kaya ayun, as usual.. hehe.. daldalan lang. Sanay na kasi. Kunwari dedline.. tapos iuurong.. tapos dedline uli. Tapos postponed uli. Parang ung mga mitings lang namin! Haha

Nagbukas ako ng YM, gulat ko! Andun halos lahat ng mga jornalists. Me kanya-kanyang stat mesgs! Hahahaay.. Nadedevelop na ata si Bobbie sa layout artist niya.. hehe..

***

Pero me mga stat mesg talaga na nakatatawag-pansin.

"... Feb 9 na prom! Sabi ng third year. confirmed na..."

"... aaah wala pa kong gown! one week's notice, haggard pa ko..."

"... waaa ikaw na lang PROMDATE ko..."

Aaah! Prom na naman... Ang aga ngayon. Nakakagulat. Lahat na ata naghahanda. Sa Manila Hotel gaganapin e, kaya dapat magarbo. Last year na din para sa seniors. Kaya me mga damit na ung iba, pinaghandaan talaga. Ung iba, me mga to-do lists na. At ung iba, me prom date na.

Aaah.. prom date...

Naalala ko pa last yir, kasali ako sa mga NPDS (No Prom Date Society), nanonood sa mga sumasayaw sa masikip na dance floor. Sure, sumasayaw ang barkada pag masayang tugtugin ang pinapatugtog. Pero pag lab song na.. ayan.. jan mo na makikita ang mga nag-eenjoy talaga, at ang mga taong nakatayo lang sa pader. Nakaka-depress, lalo na pag me nakikita kang mga kakilalang sumasayaw ng sabay sa ganitong uri ng kanta. Buti na lang may soup na pwedeng balik-balikan. At least di ka lang tatayo, me option ka ding bumalik sa catering service para humingi ng seconds. Niligtas ng sopas ang gabi ko.

Ngayon.. ah, ewan. Me iniisip talaga kong yayain, pero... Ilang beses ko na inuulit sa utak ko ung gagawin. Allan, kaya mo yan. Wag kang duwag parang last year. Pero pag aktwal na talaga, pag andyan na ang pagkakataon, hindi rin e. Totoo pala na umuurong ang dila. Hahaha. Lalo na kanina. Boblaks talaga. Nakakabadtrip tuloy. Torpe kasi.

Sana, sana lang. Maghintay siya para sakin. Ha-ha.

Epal yung sisingit.

Di bale, sana na lang me sopas sa prom. o_0

#16: FASTIGIUM

I'm sick. I really am. And I vaguely even know why.

Maybe it's the slight drizzle that day. Mom said it's a bad drizzle. How should I know? I can't ask the rain such a rhetorical question. And how should I know if it won't lie?

Or maybe it's the bus that I rode on the way home. Imagine- they turned off the aircon! Ack. Is the economy that down for the conductors to connive with the passenger's paid-for comfort? I digress. So most of the time I was either clutching my head or my stomach. I think it's my right to vomit right then and there. But for the sake of humanity and self-respect, I didn't. I didn't.

But then again, maybe it's because I played Dance Maniax afterwards, dizzy and nauseated as I was. I dunno what came over me. I think it's out of habit. Anyway, try this game and you'll see what I mean.

Whatever the reason was, morning saw me as a vegetable cocooned in the thickest of my blankets. I'm manic, I'm irate. I am foaming at the mouth. I am homicidal. I am suicidal. I'm humiliated, debased, degraded. I am nauseated. Well, not really. But i'm certainly wet and wild, I might say. Wet with perspiration, and wild with unrest. I mean, I was awake the whole night. You probably know the feeling. And what's worse, my cellphone alarm kept ringing non-stop for no reason. Thank God I slept for a couple o' hours after I threw the damn phone on the wall. But it was replaced later on by mom's beeping cellphone. Man. There's nothing like Boom Tarat-Tarat at the start of your day.

Anyway I went to my momma's room, hugged her, and asked to be pampered. Well that's one upside of being sick. You get to be served first-class and be given a massage, which is rare, since momma is a working-class woman. After her massage I kissed her on the cheek like any other good, sick kid would do. I think she was rather pleased that i'm ill. I wonder why..? ^__^

Anyway, she left me for work, so I was home alone. I just slept my free day off. I woke up at 12:00 and cursed. I totally forgot it's mock test day. Dang! To think that I waited for this moment! Well i'll just take the special mock test exam, if there's any.

Anyway, evening came and I felt fine. So I edited some feature articles till 1 o'clock(i'm the features editor of our school organ, btw). The thing is, I woke up the next day sick- again! Man. And here I was thinking i'm well and fine.

So again I went to my momma's room, hugged her, and asked to be pampered. And now with the massage is a reproach from her, telling me not to abuse my body. Again I kissed her on the cheek like any other good, sick kid would do, and slept.

Anyway, she left me for work, so I was home alone. I just slept my free day off. I woke up at 12:00 and cursed. I totally forgot its the deadline for the publication of our newspaper. Dang! To think that I am, after all, responsible for my features group! Well i'll just send the articles thru pc. Is it just me, or is this really de ja vu?

And now, after slurping my soup and taking that medicine(ack), I'm in front of the pc, writing an article for my blog, therefore saving it from extinction. I hope i'll wake up tomorrow as a normal person, and not some bedridden jerkaloid.

I miss my friends today

Tempra made me healthy

Tempra made me well

So I can have fun and play

Yeah. Some commercial. x_x
