mad about Harry

Don't go denying it, am sure most of you there are fans too...like me.

Recently I finally managed to borrow a copy of JK Rowling's 5th book on Harry Potter. (Thanks to Bern)

It was breathtaking...man, I missed the hero...yas, I AM mad about Harry.

Well of course I am so against the wizardry concept, but in fiction, he's great. I feel like I can relate to his experiences a lot. And he's great.

Menacing Snape's one of my faves here. I'm hating Ron, loving Minerva, hating Sirius, loving Hermione, hating Cho (duh), loving Ginny, hating Mrs. Weasley, loving Lupin, hating Fudge (dapat lang), loving Aunt Petunia, hahahaha...and the worst of them all who really ticked me off was that Umbridge character. She kept me reading, hahaha...that was odd...

But really, really now...I don't think I am EVER getting over that page when Harry kissed Cho! Man, that's...it's like GMA suddenly decided that she was too old for presidency (which I doubt she would ever admit, come on...). I was freaking out by myself when I came to that page (my bros might be thinkin' their sister's jinxed or just mental, hahaha). I can't get over it now- it's not how I had hoped it would be...

Child abouse ito! xp wahahaha...the poor lad's got no clue about handling issues with girls...in short, too young to date just anyone...yet? Maybe...

Basta...accuse me of being conservative, antisocial jerk, feminist (wha?)...or maybe even jealous, hahaha...basta! I'd rrather have him dating someone, maybe Ron, hahahaha! But then Hermione wouldn't have Ron, so...ok, I take that back! lol Basta spare poor young Harry, hahaha...

That would be all for now...I am hoping to find a new blogskin to replace this one...I was feeling gloomy on the last one, so I changed...and now Therese and Bern said this one looked worse, so...change again, I suppose? ;P

another blastoff with bern

today was supposed to be normal

hah! with bechan? as if!

afternoon came and i had to go check on my brother's situation in UST admissions office

but then i got bored...the office people were out to lunch

and so I went to bern's house to visit her and also get the things i left there

we were supposed to see each other in DLSU, but she didn't come to school because her cell won't work and that means she wouldn't be able to contact me

after i expressed my displeasure over her skipping class, we stayed there for a while and then went off to UST to check my brother's situation

just 5 mins there and then we were off to SM San Lazaro for some lunch (brunch to me) at Max's and some window shopping (Bern wants some shirts)

she chose some gutsy shirts to wear and one statement shirt for Alloi

then we had our pic taken, 2 shots and four copies each for 50 bucks- a bargain

it was my first time to have a studio pic with someone outside the family...Bern had a way of impressing me with her creative ideas of fun...loads of it

later on we had to go back to Dapitan, ate some Chowking wanton and go home, met Mama, and then off to Tiff to get Bern's housekeys, which she left the other night

only Tiff was there- she had to go to Keith's grandma's party (whistle)...so she went through her wardrobe very selectively, which normally left a mountain of her clothes in the living room, hahahahaha!

now she left us watching Desperate Housewives again...loads of fun, that biatch of a show, hehehe...

and maybe l'll go home after this...man, the day went on fine fine fine...

except for the fact that I'm missing two people right now

Shuri

and Paulo

afternoon blast with bechan

Yesterday was a very special day for me. After cleaning up in English thesis biz with my groupmates I instantly headed off to DLSU to meet up with Bechan. I was hoping to see them all, as it was a monday, but then Pau and Bequa had gone home, and Jonreph's not answering my text, so whatever. But Bechan needed me there. And so I came.

Lunchtime at Taco Maker. Alloi was there, but she had to go later on. I was not counting on something hilarious for that visit, as Bech and I were talking about some very very serious matter.

But then I was wrong. Alloi left us with these kisses (you know, those new multicolored sugar-coated ones), which later on became the source of a new joke which we laughed on for about an hour until she had to leave me for her swimming PE at two.

For two hours she practiced and took her finals with Chammy. Chammy was even nice enough to come out and talk with me outside the gate. I had to sit there and wait for them to finish so that me and Bechan could go out. For the duration of my waiting I had to the chance to chit chat the guard, who at one point let me in because I had to go to the john. And we also ate corn at the last few minutes of our bonding time (as if...hahahaha).

Bechan came out and apologized, which I didn't need to hear anymore. I waited for her because I had wanted to. The guard said it so- that I did love my friends very very much, to wait for that long despite the fact that I am a person on the go who hates to wait for things to come.

So! We went to SM San Lazaro first. She bought me a wonderful book, which I have been wanting for the longest time. But that's only because I wasn't up to wasting my money on it (I'm very kuripot when it comes to my wants most of the time). And the funny thing is, she even borrowed my cash to pay for it for that time (later she paid for it naman- man...). I was feeling silly then, but I later on realized it was truly very very sweet of her.

After contacting my ma, we went to her place. But not before buying a bunch of pirated DVDs, and I must say I now understand why piracy has become such a booming industry in our country now, hehehe...

And because of all those kisses we ate during lunch, I had to use their CR, hahahaha...(later she followed after me, wehehehe)

We ate fried chicken for dinner and watched Just Friends. I had been wanting to watch that for a while. I really felt like that guy, the loser thang...and sometimes I want to run off somewhere where no one knows me, you know that feeling? It's mostly these people who do that to people who can't fight- or won't fight at all...condemning them because of skin-deep 'imperfections' when all they want to have is love and acceptance and true friendship all around...

OK! After the movie I had to go, but not before hanging on for a little more while to check mails, friendster accounts of other people...and borrow some of Bechan's books, which I hope might keep me busy (and sane) for a while.

And she took the liberty of taking me home. We walked all the way from escolta to quiapo, rode the taxi back to my neighborhood, Mendiola. It was funny when I realized Bern had the white SJ shirt on, and we're in front of SJ, hahaha!

As I had suspected earlier, ma wasn't home. So I went along with her, took her to Tiff's place to watch a bit of PBB and Desperate Housewives, which we all loved at once...depressing after some time of exposure, but cool comedy, too. (It's just a series with one big message to the girls: In order to be happy, make sure you're getting married to the right guy- or don't get married at all because they're all the same!)

I went off at twelve midnight, thought of what special day we had, reflected...and slept like a baby, hehehehe. I was touched with them being concerned with me walking at that time of the night- alone. Yes, I know I always maintained the deal that I am strong and I can handle myself, but it really touches me deeply whenever someone gives me the protective care instead. (But they wouldn't know of it now until they read this- right, Tiff, Bern, Therese? :) Love you, guys..)

I am very very happy and grateful for Bern giving me a share of her precious hours to help me fulfill my desire to lagalag for my last day. I felt happy that she was there for me, talked with me, sang for me...laughed out senseless things with me. As I always say, there are some things in this world more important that studying chemistry or pursuing a career...and one of them is having your friends around you to assure you you can do it!)

I feel happy today. I am done with my problem in my English subject, that mean old Thesis statement. Just had lunch at 4pm, with my groupmates and blockmates- Odessa, Jason, Jomee, Alex, Apple, Tadz, and Mae. :) Nothing like a celebration to end the hardship well...

Kanina napasigaw na lang ako after inapprove ni mam yung trabaho namin. I just wish it will all be over and well when monday comes.

I am very eager to have plans during the summer vacation! I have been working hard, after all. I would like to go for a swim with my circle of friends. I miss my sj peeps...and the jokes and inside stuff...I think I need to catch up fast...and I'd go running for it!!!

I am planning to go dancing during the summer for a change. Well I have always wanted that- the prob is with my ma...she thinks it's useless. But it's only now that I had the guts to fight for what I want, and she respects my point of view (as I can see, at least). But she's still accusing me of the littlest things. Like tamad daw ako. And I'm not well-mannered in the prim and proper sense. Sabihan ba naman akong, 'nililigawan ka na, ganyan ka pa rin umasta, parang di babae!' As if..! (And I am sure Pau would have defended me there, hay nako- why does everybody have to follow the norm when not all norms are fine to follow?) Ah...the pressure...hmm...

Well, nothing can make me frown today. I am very thankful to God that he helped me through this...I was near to giving it all up kahit bumagsak pa ko...

Realizations...again and again

Today is my last day of exminations...well, I've had lots of it, but strangely I felt happy and rather nostalgic with this one...

It's like another one of my firsts. Like learning how to step and end up walking as a kid. Like when I met my set of friends, and ended up with a chain of them! Like when I first tried cheese waffle, etc., after my 18th birthday. Ganun ba...

It sends chills up my spine whenever I am reminded of the fact that I only got three more years to go before I finally graduate! YEAH!

My Unexpected Love

I didn't count on this occuring, but then I have to admit it...I think I have finally fallen into the loving arms of my class...Sublime 11, I'm yours!

It used to be a few select ones that I keep close to my heart among the group. But now I realize that I just had to take a few chances and opportunities...timing...to get to know them. My, ang dami pala sa kanilang fine rin naman, hehehe. I just had to talk more, that was all...too bad the second sem had to end...maybe next year we'll get together again and then I'll bond with them...covalent? O ionic? xp (okok...chemie joke...wahahaha)

My Three Most Recent Wants

How I realized my funny material wants just two days ago...hahahaha...I used to deny obsessing over some things, but it turns out I have this list pala...oh well...at least I'm limiting it to three for now...So! That makes me normal pala, hahahaha! Welcome to the real world, hahaha!
  1. eyeglasses
  2. Joshua Harris's 'I kissed dating goodbye' Christian novel
  3. ::secret:: (only my Bech knows, hahaha!)
Sucker for the Sweetest Things

There are times that I feel that I am a very blessed peach! Well of course, because my friends value me sooo much...and I love them back too...I love you all...

I was touched when Tif emailed me lots this month...I felt really happy...I mean, I used to have this idea that emails suck because they are not as sentimental and as sweet as written missives...but then how I felt after getting all those tlc notes from her through the net...well that's exactly contradictory to my metality, hehehehe...and that's really saying something!

Dear newfound pal Alloi (linkage from Bechan's influence, thanx) joined me in my adventures during our second meeting, hahaha...I think it's sweet that she walked with me...we had fun together, though our soles had to ache together as well because of walking too much, hahahaha!

Bechan's been sweet for having me around during my visits near her college now, thank you soo much! She's gone through a lot of trouble, texting and entertaining me during my stays...kaya nga mahal ko, hahaha! Her kulit character really brings out a different glow in me after prolonged exposure (ano to, sunburn?)xp

Jonreppy...man, this guy rocks my world talaga...one of the most caring peeps I have there...always ensuring my safety at na may companion ako kpag bumibsita ako, hahaha...well I can handle myself, I always try to do that. But he really gets it that I need lots of assistance most of the time, hay naku. Mayaman sa quotes na overly inspiring, kaasaran, serious talk or joketime...grabe, salamat rin...

Bequa...hmm...I tell her she's gumaganda tlg, I mean it! But the artist won't take my word for it...she's one of my favorite storytellers, because she's highly amusing in an enlightening kind of way (the actions! and sound fx!)...I don't think I walk away from her without a new lesson learned in mind...and in heart! There's something about her that I want to know more of...she's a smartie...witty...very sensible...my 'anak', hahahaha!

Si Pau...he reminds me of someone I would always want to protect. But maybe I stand corrected there. He might be able to do just that, I dunno...new dimension of thinking about him, maybe? But as the responsible sis of the circle of friends, I think...hahahaha...never mind. He's my most rational, most cautious friend...ang lalim niyang mag-isip...kaya magandang adviser. But then with all that seriousness he's got, may comedy hints naman...just don't push him to the edge when he's not in the mood...nyay...hahahaha!

Si Mark...haay, sometimes I think I'd like to believe that overly intellectual people are weird. I mean, who the friend of anyone's (now that's wrong grammar, hahahaha!) would ever recall to bring his or her friend to the place where they first swore friendship after the exam on chemistry?! Weird, if you ask me, but I can't help labelling it as sweet...(yap, this bruha-ever did just that!) He had wanted to bring me to the pond where we first realized that we were meant for lasting friendship, but then we had to head off somewhere more exciting...and NORMAL? Hahahahaha!

Si Yanni...ang dear anak ko sa uste...she's really cool...ang bait niya, napakaconsiderate and sweet...she took the time off and reviewed zoology and theology with me in the Tomish Cafe last Tuesday...and I think that beats the sweet meter of all ten iced caffe lattes combined in the store! I really love that anak of mine.

OK, hep! Tama na...goodnight na...love ya all...:) Super love ko talaga mga special friends ko, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart (or whatever you call that). Sinoatrial valve kaya ang initiator? xp wahahaha

I am sooo sleepy I wanna drop

I wanna drop na...very very tired of my school work...last night three projects done...with many thanks to Jonreph too, for the storytelling of Beautiful Boxer...

This situation kinda makes me envy the seniors...grabe, buhay baboy na...pero may grad practice pa, hahahaha...i can still recall the grad songs na walang kamatayan, lalo na yung, "chang ting wai, ku tao pien..." hahahahaha

Sana pakantahin rin kayo onstage nang limahan...hahahaha

Later after this I plan to sleep like lard...I'm betting my rising would be at six na if ever...

Btw, I hope you guys like my new blogskin...finally learned how to put it in...medyo narecall ko na, haaay....

Short Message


Do you ever
Get that feeling
Of wanting to let slip
That overly coveted remote
From your hot sweaty palms
Leaving your radiation bathing spot
In front of the TV
And your title as the
12-hour couch potato
Just to get it right
With that annual heat wave
And face the ventilator for a change? :)

TV's our pastime
Numero uno

But if you gotta keep it cool this summah

Drop it like it's hot!


Lost In Anonas Station

I got lost...

The thrill is really fun...it was like riding a killer ride in a fair...

But I experienced 50% fear there...man...

I had to go do this project biz in one of my blockmate's house.

I thought it was easy to trace ways back...

And then I realized it was different, especially when you're alone.

I remembered riding MRT2...so I did.

The prob was, I had whole 100 bucks, and no one there had any change for me, even the assistance office (and they actually call themselves assistance...)...so I had to get to the nearest shop (a mall nearby) and bought some cheap thing (a mirror) off their cashier shelf, just so I could get my money changed.

So I climbed up the stairs, just in time when the train left...left me!

So I had to jump up and down and wait for the next one, coming in ten minutes.

I felt like I was going to suffer a nervous breakdown anytime if I don't see anyone I know for the next few seconds, so I whipped out my cell...

I called up Pau...I felt too proud to ask my blockmates where to go, despite the tragic situation, hahahaha...but I did text them but they had not replied then...anyway I called up Pau and asked him about it. Later on he had directions available for me to try...if the Legarda thing won't look familiar, that is...coz I already bought the card and that'd be a waste if I didn't try it out for myself...

People seemed to be amused at how stupid- no, ignorant I was...

Anyway I got in the next train, tried to remain calm as I waited for my cue...may time limit pa, kasi ma was gna fetch me at 430...it was 15 mins to four when I was two stations away from the designated area near UST...(man, the consequences of escaping...kahit jina-justify k pa, bsta mali pa rin un, at pananagutan ko un...)

And then I sensed that I was in the right place already...I rode the pedicab (as I recalled from the morning travel) and reached my finish line! yey!

And boy, was I thrilled! Except for the fact that the pedicab driver chaged me 2x the proper amount (grr) and the tricycle driver on my first ride home overcharged me P2.00!

But it was all worth it. Getting inside the waiting place (Goldilocks espana) I bought halohalo and eventually cooled down...

I got lost...but it was still something I'd laugh at...

All Boxed Up

I feel like a child sometimes

All boxed up and helpless

Though without crime


In this world of wits

As they call it

I can see as much

Though it's confusing to start with...

And I know I can see more

If only I can be lifted

From this containment


I long to ask questions

But they shut me up- both ways

Like I know not what goes on

Behind these carton walls


I long to break free

And let all the coaxing cease

But no, they bound me here

And they always will

Insist I'm just a child

All boxed up and nothing to do

Congrats Kay Tif



Tiff!!! me couldn't be too proud f u...congrats sa UP...:) I know naman you can easily get in, celebrate time! XP LIBRE!!! Wahahaha
