Enjoy the day, and the spirit!
I'll be posting Christmas doodams tomorrow. :)

Uh-huh. We're bound to another season of gift-giving (and food-eating), aren't you glad? Honestly, I can't feel a tingling breeze around me, but that doesn't matter. The biggest craze in town, crazier than the new Snowman Krispy Kreme, is Christ's breathing! Yehey! Pang-ilang beses na ba siyang pinanganak? Sino kayang nakabilang? Lol.

I seriously wish for some snow. Wouldn't it be fun sliding and making snowmen? If ever I completed the 9 Simbang Gabis, or went under a tunnel, or knew that it's 11:11 AM or PM, or just seen a shooting star, I'll be wishing for snow! SERIOUSLY!

Right now, I'm hours away for the magnificent day but apparently, the feeling is super ordinary. Para sakin kase, I feel Christmas when I see multi-colored lights. It's weird but, boy am I crazy? How can I view that when all I can see is this torturing white light coming from this technological creature infront of me? Another sign of the Christmasy vibe is the hyper attitude of the people in our house. Well, my dad's dozing his ass off because of his jet lag. My mom is enduring gray barbecue smoke for later's noche buena. My next-to-me brother is having his walk-my-foot with his G friends. My youngest brother is bugging everyone in our house to make him grape juice, and I am exposing all my insanities here. I think my lola is the only one who is acting elf today. She's cooking yumyum food for later's sharing. :)

I saw Mom wrapping gifts and I saw things for us, siblings. I didn't expect anything to unwrap at all. I am suprised and at the same time disappointed at myself that I haven't prepared anything for her. Well, I spent my money on some things (most are not for me). Sobrang mahal na kasi magregalo ngayon. E I'm not the type pa naman na todo ipon. I'm totally far from that. Basta may money, kashing! Lol. Maybe next year, I'll learn that. Hopefully, I'll take resolutions seriously and add ultimate saving up. :)

I went with mom, early in the morning, to the market, to have rush-hour Christmas shopping. I found something about myself. I actually am super stressing over overcrowded places. I totally hate it! Who doesn't? Especially in markets! How hard did I control myself of pricking each and everyone of them pushing me! My head hurt a lot because of the annoying people. Good thing, the hotdog saved me! I was tired from walking. To that person who mixed and concoctioned 'Sparkle', thank you for saving my hot throat (and hot head). :)

So, these next days, I'll not be around. The family has an important schedule (strictly for the family), and everyone should be present.

DEC. 25 - Christmas Day! We'll be going to Masinloc, Zambales to visit my dad's mother and my inaanak. For the first time, I got asked to be a ninang. I haven't seen this kid yet and I don't know how to treat kids! Hahaha. I am not a kid fanatic, especially girls! How nice, my first godchild is a girl. But anyway, when it's totally cute I can be in good terms with them. I can stand to not eat them for three minutes. Kidding.

DEC. 26 - I might stay at the house and watch some episodes of Naruto, as my everyday of the holidays had gone by. But for something to happen, I am planning to have a FULL-BANGS haircut. Yea. I am not kidding. I just looked into the mirror and realized that I look boring. Might as well try something new before 2009 erupt from its shell. Nothing will lose, I think (just some dignity if it went ultra bad).... and some hair! But I believe I can carry it. I practice looking with bangs, by lifting some hair up and folding it in my forehead for a 3D effect, the crazy me. And TADA! I've created a Siopao-looking girl with bangs. I just hope it will go well. Um. go best, instead! :)

Wait. I am not so sure, if at 26 we will go to Manila, but hopefully, not yet. :) I'm still excited for my haircut! If ever we'll go to the Metro, I think it'll be long. Um. A three-day stay is long enough, but I am still uncertain of the sched. I hate em parents. They tell it, but then they aren't sure of anything yet! They make me hope. For their info, I also got my own calendar. :( Okay. Im starting drama.

I need a journal, planner, personal notebook, or whatchamacallit notebook that plans your everyday cackadoodles. I am just tired of guessing and guessing what to do. It will be very essential for me, whose got my memory stuck in a bundle, every little detail in a bundle that if ever I misplace it, saying "fuck it" is the only thing I can do. Hahaha. It will also be nice for the 2009 drama. Well, it's always like that. January always look perfect. Let's get it specific. January 1s used to be perfect, with all the new lives, new manners, new nails, new hair, and everything. But when 2 arrives, kick ass, it's back to the old sinner.

Let's just pray hard.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Enjoy the glitters and glamour of the season.
I'll give ye a hug! *embrace!

I read a post by SAMANTHA, talkin' about a whimsical, funky, and undefined dream. It was scary and at the same time very meaningful. It was about love and all the crazy advices anyone can give to a taped, wasted heart. :)

So, I might talk about love today (get yourself ready for the funny and cheesy part). I just realized what love brings to our lives. It's so magical and to-the-umpteenth-level foolish! We all fall for this word, and no matter the too many times we have fallen, we still keep on falling and falling. It's like poison to the lips, but we want to keep drinking. It makes us shatter but we will always mend ourselves to shatter again. It makes us dance to its rhythm and never get tired to its anything-goes beat. Whatever happens we'll always want to be IN LOVE, because despite all the pain and tiresome pages of this adventure, it's like a drug that satisfies our every beating.

Nakakatanga na nga minsan, diba? It's always the battle between the wrong and the right, the real and the fake, the happy and the sad part. We always have to choose, and whatever we choose, we lose. The delightedness is always ephemeral. At a point in time, it always have to end, pero yun na nga, we fall in love more and more. Para tayong mga sadista na natutuwa sa pain at loneliness. Andaming cases ng failed love, pero kahit gaano pa ka-painful at karami na yon, we are still willing to get a dose of it. It's a priceless thing. You won't even care kahit na hindi masuklian yung binigay mo, because you are not buying at all, you just give it. You offer it like a shiny coin to the child beggar. You might (or might not) expect something back, but it doesn't matter as long as you express it. Kahit walang-wala ka na, you will sacrifice everything para lang maiparamdam yung love na yun to this luckiest person.

I'm getting cheesy here, ayoko na! Okay, I'll spill it out. I am going super corny right here because I am loveless today, and that's the piece that's been missing in my life. I have this ultimate crush, but I don't know where to find him! I've got people around me to love, but I just can't find someone for me. I don't want a boyfriend. I don't want commitment. I just want to crush on someone who will also have the tendency to crush on me. That's it. I want a total inspiration, but it looks like it's getting hopeless. Hahaha. Someday is to come, baby.

So, I gotta stop this love thing. I got tired once because of my selflessness. The truth is I've surrendered because it's the right thing. I haven't expressed because I was scared, and I know that it will just make things worse. Nobody knows it but me. I gotta let go because that's what it's supposed to be. I thought it was easy, but I was wrong. It was super-difficult-close-to-impossible thing. I thought it was a piece of cake, but it was a piece of the worst-tasting, seven-layered chocolate cake. Thoughts can kill (Lahat ng akala, nakakamatay.) Hahaha. I'm getting stupid in here.

I went with Moks and Sea this day for a talk and a small get-together, just to update each and everyone. We talked about a lotta stuffs: family matters, future plans, and the highlight of the night, our dysfunctional lovelife. We all suffer the Cold Christmas syndrome. Yeah, too bad for this year, but we thought of the advantages! We get to not think of the best present for our partners, and we get to enjoy the holidays with family and friends, with no jealousy and love quarrels! Isn't it nice being single? :p

The thing is, love goes around the world. It is always in everyone's world. And it comes in different forms, if you don't know. It doesn't only come in the opposite-sex form. It can come in a family member, in a friend, in a pet, or in that Coke float. All we gotta do is appreciate the love we receive and make things matter. Replace it with love and hug each other. Men will be proud of men. Make more love and less war this Christmas! It's the best gift for everyone! ;p ;p

I gotta go.
Naruto is waiting for me.
Stuck in Episode 153.
I need to go Shippuden, so I gotta move fast!

Enjoy the Holidays!
Toodles!

I can move my thumb quite properly, but I will not forget how it made me really pissed off when I tried jeans yesterday at the mall. Can you just imagine how hard I buttoned and unbuttoned jeans with only one hand? Instead of the reason that the people in there are smacking many, another reason kept me stressed for the whole walk-my-foot day. So, if you heard it in New York Times or in that frontpage whole page cheap tabloid, yea, my idiotic carelessness pushed my body to the limits. I had this overfatigue revenge on me.

It was Sunday. 6PM is my weekly routine for a holy mackerel mass. My father and mother is not around, and so is my youngest brother who took the Saturday children's mass already. So here I am walking myself into the church, into our weekly spot, just right outside the doors. We always stay there because the air is swiveling fresh and fresher than the inside. I can hear the priest, I can see the body of Jesus, I can stand standing for an hour, and most of all, I can still talk to God, there are no hindrances in staying there. I am with my brother, whose age is next to mine. This brother of mine had his own personality disorders. His paranoia attacks him most of the time in public places, and in that Sunday, according to him, his shirt doesn't look good that much, so he preferred to stay and sit in the bench at the back.. SOOO FAR AWAY FROM OUR USED-TO-BE SPOT. And here I am, standing alone between two cars. It was a normal spot but it wasn't perfect since there are renovations in my used-to-be spot.

I am going through the homily, making my way through pondering the thoughts, when the priest already exclaimed, "State your personal prayers". Certainly not like that, but the message is similar. I am making through the journey of my state-your-prayer thing, and as my last message says, "Thank you God for keeping me alive." Boom. Air swept through my face, and I felt my chest tighten up a bit. It's like something crawling up inside of me, I can't even make my breathing normal. Seconds passed, and I'm still fighting this hard breathing. I am calming myself since this chest thing is not mediocre. Until, a black whoosing light suddenly crowded my sight. I am losing my consciousness. I am in total darkness. (In that particular moment, I didn't even know that I am.)

I gained back my consciousness when someone is waking me up. I just realized that I fell on the floor, the cement floor outside the church. I woke up and I just knew that a circle of people is starting to bug me out. They are asking me if I am with someone, and I keep on telling them that I am but he's in the back bench. They kept on asking as if they are not hearing anything. Good thing, my classmate Fredez is there with her mom to explain to the people that our house is just near and she will call my grandma (since I am parentless at the moment). At last, but they are still panicking. I tell them that I'm okay, but my face is numb. I just realized that there's blood in my lips and the way they look at me, it's like I am the blood. Someone offered his 'El Shaddai' handkerchief, thanks to that. It's starting to get cranky, I can't move both of my hands. My tongue also added to the numbness, I can't speak clearly. I got really scared! I think, my marathons with Dr. House and Dr. Grey brought about that. A lot of people are really surrounding me. Two men carried me to the car because they don't let me walk. They don't believe that I can!

I was brought to the St. Jude Hospital and I stayed at the Emergency station. My grandma came and good thing hindi siya hinahigh-blood. The bad thing was, she doesn't want my mom to know, because she might worry and go straightly home because she's in Manila. I was like, WTH?? She's my mother, she should know this!!! People stared at me, was I that ugly and scary? I am panicking and the doctor said that I am acting wrong. I should be calming myself not close-to-exploding!! I didn't cry, I don't know why. Shock still lingered in my veins. I am calming myself, and slowly the numbness is going away. I waited for nurses to come and clean my bruises in the face. When a nurse checked on my chin, she said that it looks deep, and it might need STITCHES. (What????!?? I am shouting inside my head. I don't want a scar. For real!)

And after looooong minutes, Tita Lori came. She's my mom's bestfriend. She was there to be as replacement for my mom. Our kasambahay texted my mom, good thing. At least they were cooperative. Ate Michelle came into the hospital bringing my cellphone. You might say it's funny and foolish, but my phone is the first thing I wanted after the fall! I haven't brought my phone to the church because my pants doesn't have pockets, was it my worst day on Earth? And the doctor came, telling me that I HYPERVENTILATED then I COLLAPSED. According to them, I always tire myself, staying up so late at night (sometimes, until the night breaks) infront of the monitor, and stressing myself out (which is true). It might also be psychogenic, as the doctor says. I might be having emotional problems (well, I might). But I think, I just had my body taken for granted, and now I am paying the price. For three months, I haven't had any good long sleep yet, and I think that's it with all my "fullybooked" issues. My body just said, "I'm tired."

Yeah, the bruise in my chin appeared to be deep, because my fall's impact all went there, I NEEDED A STITCH. That hospital where I stayed in, is a total mess. There were no doctors available, what the hell is that?? My mom called and she asked me if I want her to come home, I said that I'm okay although I want her to come home. I don't want her to be transporting this late at night. She has this batchmate who's a doctor and can make skin come together, TADA, that's where I went. I got scared but it went fine. Everybody is still looking at me.

I looked like Santa Claus because of the bandage and my left hand is yelling for rest, ayun na-splint kasi namamaga. When I went home, that's when I cried a lot. Maybe because of the fear and everything. I remembered, when I was in the hospital, I did a lot of total staring because a lot of things are climbing up my mind. Trauma came next. I can't eat yummy-ly because my chin aches. I can't do things normally because of my left hand, and I'm a lefty. I had to stay in bed for five days when our school's Christmas Bazaar and Christmas party are two days away. I suffered a lot but I learned enough. This is my fault and I don't want for it to happen again. I'll be taking care of myself from now on. I thought I can be Superman, what's bad about that? (What? Because I know that I can't. Superman needs rest.... Superman needs his Lois Lane. Well I don't have one.) So maybe that's it.

My mom surprised me in the morning. She's home for me, and for reason that my dad knew everything and wanted me to undergo medical check-ups. I had it, and it really pointed to being TIRED. JADED. WASTED. My friend's concerns really touched my heart, I really want to thank them for dropping by to our house and checking up on me! Thank you, guys. :) Remembering my last last last last post, I wanted someone to care for me. Now, everybody's caring for me. God wanted me to realize that, right? :)

Everything happens for a reason. There are better plans for me. :)

In the end of the day, I still thanked God that He kept me alive. :)

After my five-day bed rest and some bed-loathing, I am actually okay after my collapsing-slash-hyperventilating moment.

I surfed all the channels available in our tube and now I think I'm going back to my blogging business. But, since my left thumb is still numb from the fall, I might add days to my rest. Don't worry, I'll update you with my Yuletide if ever. :) And and, wait for the full details of my accident in my next post. :)

I would like to express my thousand million thanks to the people who got so concerned, they even brought our Christmas party in our house. I love you so much guys! :)

What I'm doing is illegal, using the computer again, but hey, the happening doesn't indicate that I cannot go back to my normal dos. I MISS YE GUYS.

TNX ATE AVA FOR ALL THE COMMENTS! LY ALREADY. :)

Goobye.
Toodles!

Super morning! I slept at around 2AM, sleepiness didn't bug me much. House is waiting for me in the TV but I got lazy to watch. And so, I laid my bones on the bed and dozed off.

I woke up with a grumbling tummy. I have two reasons: It's either I am super hungry or I need a session with Mr. Toilet. :p I guess it hurts double time because both reasons are applicable. Lol. I am super hungry and I need a session with Mr. Toilet. :p

First thing in the morning, check my doodat. I think this is the 'first thing in the morning' of most Filipinos, looking through morning messages in their cellphone. Others say that they only look at the time, but that's just a way out because we all know that it's the messages we want! :) There's no way out, because it's also our "last thing before we sleep'. I know you know it for yourself! :) I wait for someone to text me, actually. Secretly. :)

Before getting up the bed, I try to lull myself again to sleep. After stretching some muscles, and hearing the so-loud T.V because my brother just turned on the playstation, without caring much to my sound sleeping senses, I go up and fix my bed. I hate it when someone tries to oppose my want in snatching back sleep again! But what can I do? If I'll hate it, it'll spoil my first-moment-good mood. So might as well, keep to the happy things. :)

Next stop, I let the mirror analyze any face improvements. Okay, I have an issue of my own, pimples (and sometimes my thick, bushy eyebrows). But don't tell me you don't have any? I believe that everyone has his own expectations of a beautiful face, who doesn't? He should be looking like E.T and gave up in looking any distinctions between ugly and pretty. Lol. One other thing, I smile infront of the mirror. I don't know, I find myself looking different in my first look in the mirror. There is something different: was that the morning glitters in our eyes? But seriously, I feel beautiful when I smile in the mirror. :p

After minutes of recognition of God's beautiful creation facing the mirror, I will proceed to the bathroom and gurgle minty water. That's part of the early freshness! It is vital for a human being to brush brush brush 3x a day! Then start the brushing! :)

Then, I go downstairs to eat in the king's table and munch on some breakfast. As they say, eat like a king in the morning. It's energy food and it's important! This is what you'll burn later in the day, might as well take many! :)

It's almost done, now repeat everything! Hahahaha. Just kidding. Do you want to call yourself crazy? After those important things, you might do your own highlights for the day. But me, I'll go infront of this cube monitor and do this thing.

Morning finished! I continue my texting sessions with my 'Mga Labs'. :)

*I just watched Nancy Drew yesternight! It was nice. I loved how she looked. So cute.
I'll have moments with mom later. :) Yay!
Hey check my top lists! I got new things I love. :)
Toodles.

For five days, I ran away from my daily responsibilities. RSPC just ended yesterday and it's so sad that we won't be together again! Back to the normal days kami, pare. Super ko silang mamimiss. I'll just introduce them to you. :)

Here are the lovely people I bonded with in the RSPC. I am inspired by these people. :)

JILL - the English Photo-Journalist
Etong taong to, tahimik lang yan. Pero pag bumanat, matindi. Marami siyang girlfriend e. She thinks herself as a male, ewan ko kung anong klaseng topak yon! She is also an ANOREXIC BITCH! Sa five-day stay namin in Angeles City, isang gabi ko lang ata siya nakita nagdinner, three times nagbreakfast, one time naglunch. Feeling niya antaba-taba niya at sinasabi niyang may shape ang aking katawan. KAYA NAMAN NAKAKATUWA TONG BATANG TO E! Hahahaha. :p Adik to ke RYAN. Krass niya pala ang unggoy. Tawag na nga niya kay Tenang e 'Nay, kasi nanay ni Ryan si Tenang. Tapus nung kumain kami sa KFC, dinoodle niya ung initials ni Ryan gamit yung ketchup sa tissue. Hahaha. Wala nakakatuwa lang, bagong pang-asar. Hahaha. Grabe din tong i-idolize si Kunn! Mula sa Abs hanggang sa pagtoo-toothbrush, although trip lang namin yung latter part. Hahaha. Pero ayun, nagfourth siya sa Photo-Journ. Super sakit dahil hanggang 3rd place lang ang mage-NSPC, pero tanggap naman niya. :)

Jill: Ate, diba po Platinum po kayo? Kaklase nio po si Kuya Ryan?
Ako: Oo. Bakit? Krass mo no???
Jill: Hindi naman po. Pero cute naman po siya a!

Nice Jill! Hahaha.

JOHANNA - the Filipino Feature-writer
Ang highlight nito e ang kanyang Manny Pacquiao moments. Kung maaalala sa laban nila ni Dela Hoya, e dumeretso kagad si Pacquiao sa side niya lumuhod, kumapit, at nagdasal. Ganun ang ginagawa ni Hannah! Simula sa pag-upo namin sa gilid ng SPED Center sa AES, kumapit na siya sa gate ng paganun, masakit daw kasi tiyan nia e. Hahaha. Hanggang sa announcement of winners na, ganun pa din ginagawa niya dahil sa kaba. Ayun, sinwerte ang bata! Sobrang swerte! 2nd place siya! Ayos, mageNSPC! :) Eto ang kabaibs ni Kareena. Pag nag-uusap tungkol sa Anime at sa mga movies, at mga pambatang shows, talagang andaming alam ni Hannah! Super ayos. Si Angelus naman, pinagtitripan ang kanyang kapayatan at kaliitan. Nawala lang sa paningin namin si Hannah sa mall, eto na ang sinabi:

Tsa-tsa: Asan na si Hannah?
Angelus: HALA. Natapakan ko ata.

Gagu talaga. Hahaha.

Isang Piscean kaya sobrang bait din nyan,,, tulad ko! :p Niloloko namin silang magkalaguyo ni Palos, kasi siya si Bangs. Hahaha. Ang kanyang bangs e nililipad ng hangin habang nakatayo siya sa bus, kaya ayun ang kanyang Jose Rizal hairstyle e panakip butas lang pala sa kanyang bangs. Hahaha.

(sa bus)
Palos: Nagrorock and roll si Kuya Edane sa bus!
Edane: E syempre, maalog!

TENANG - the English Newswriter
Niloloko namin siyang pinakamaliit, dahil mukang siya naman ata talaga. Hahaha. Ginagawa niyang kavibes sina Palos at Hannah kasi yun daw ang kanyang mga ka-size. Hahaha. Sobrang cute daw niya. Kung si Chacha daw cute, si Kareena mas cute, siya daw e pinakacute! Hahaha. Baliw din to e. Kick! :p Lagi silang naglalaro ni Chacha ng split by split at wrestlingan. Obvious naman kung sinong nananalo! Hahaha. Super hilig nito sa Mickey Mouse. Puro yun lang yung binili niya sa SM Clark. Pati pala ilang mga libro. :) Tapus nung unang mahabaang lakad namin, sila ni Edane e naiwan sa AES, kaya nilakad din nila!! Akala nila andun pa kami. Napauwi din tuloy sila sa paglalakad ng kilometro! Hahaha. Siya din ang nagturo samin ng OT SIGN! Kaya nagoothan kami dun sa harap ng madaming tao! Hahaha.

ANGELUS - the Filipino Photo-Journalist
Napuruhan ni Mamsi nung huling gabi kaya medyo badtrip na, pero okay lang tulog pa din siya ng mahimbing! Hahaha. Eto ata ang pinaka-antukin samin. Pagkarating sa room, salampak kagad sa bedding. At maya maya, dedo na. Hahaha. Marami tong barkada dun sa RSPC e. Sina Levi Libog, CJ, at iba pa. Yung mga unggoy na yon ang madalas niyang kasama. Nilolokong hindi maliligo sa RSPC kasi sobrang liit lng nung dala niyang bag. AT! Uulit-ulitin na lang daw niya damit niya. Hahaha. Nung napagalitan kami ng isang teacher, siya ang pinakanagalit. Tawa kami ng tawa. Hahaha. May isang batang nambabuy sakanya:

Angelus: Ah. Kilala mo si Jec. Bakit? Swimming ka?
Batang Babae: Hindi siya swimming, swimmer siya.

Lubog noo mo pare! Hahahah.

Kunn - the English Editorial Cartoonist
Napakamasayahing bata nito! MAH ng MAH! Kaya nauso ang MAH at NYOK, e dahil sa kanya. Super saya kasama nito. :) Malakas mangagat ng kapwa! Sa lakaran, laging nauuna. Tapos mahilig din siyang bumili ng mami sa El Diablo. Mahilig bumanat at mantrip. Todos talaga. Nung huling gabi medyo nanahimik, kaya nawalan kami ng isang sigla. Hahaha. Pero todo parin nung kinaumagahan. Siya lang ang hindi nabuksan ang lovelife nung revelation night, kasi wala talaga kaming alam sakanya! Hahaha. Napagalitan kami ng teacher, kasi nakita siyang ginagaya si Sir Ontucca. Patay a. Sikat din ang kanyang sexy abs, lalo na kay Jill! Hahaha. Eto ang mga konting banat:

(sa bus pa lang)
Kunn: Gusto ko ng sopas!
Tenang: Ang init-init eh!
Kunn: Edi malamig na sopas! :p

Cha cha - the Filipino Sportswriter
Naku, napakaingay nitong batang ito. Kung gano siya kaputi ganun din siya kaingay. Matindi to. Kahit sa lakaran, bratatat pa din bibig. Hahaha. Lakwatsera, halata naman. At super hyper sa gabi. Super hyper din mag-unli. Siya ang tiga-Unlicalls Nyt namin para matawagan ang mga mahal sa buhay sa Gapo. Ayun, nakausap niya si Labs niya at pati na ang kanyang mga Angels. Super kavibes ko to sa paghahanap ng mga krass. Kung nakahanap ako ng walo, siya mga tatlo. Sa olongapo division pa lang e! Humihirit na ito ng krasses. Hahaha. Napakaharot, kasi laging nakikipagpillow fight at daganan. Siya daw si cha-by, dahil ako si cha-ba. Si kasexy to e. Sorry, ako pa din original. Hahaha. Adik sa mga chikas, dami nitong alam! Sa bus pa lang papunta e, tadtad na kami ng usapin tungkol sa mga chika. :) Adik pa din siya ke Labs, pano ba naman parang si Jill lang! Yung ketchup na nilagay niya sa burger, e nakapalettering na EJ. Hahaha. Sa lahat nalang ata! Pati sa MCDO, sinulat niya yon sa paper placemat. Kaadikan yan.

Ako: Ano nang order mo? (kasi ako ang kanilang dakilang tagasulat ng order)
Cha-cha: Yung Wow Sulit E2. Yung barbecue a!
Pot: Ano? Wow Sulit EJ? Yung Babyko?

Hahaha. Latag pare.

Pot(Danilo) - the English Sportswriter
Ehem. Nahurt din to sa kanyang pagkafourth! Masakit kaya talaga mga pare! Hahaha. Tahimik, pero kala mo lang yon kasi matindi din sa kakulitan at pagbanat! Laging napupuruhan to sa pag-asar kay Bets, kasi dun lang siya tumatahimik. Hahaha. Laging inaasar sa mga kantang Muli at Dahil Ikaw, dahil yun ang kanyang mga memorable songs. Pinagkakatuwaang pagong at may "SEXYBACK". Nako, dumami na ang mga sexy sa mundo. Tulog ng tulog sa unan ni Cha cha, tapos lalawayan. Haha. Joke lang. Tapos siya din ang pinakamabaho sa room. Asar din yon sa kanya! Hahaha. Tapos kung magbuhos naku dinaig pa ang gorilla kung mapaliguan! Kung magbuhos kasi siya, parang yun na ang huling timba ng tubig sa buong mundo. Tas yung huli daw niyang buhos, e sobrang haba! Ilang seconds bago matapos. Aggressive! Ang tawag namin sa kanyang pagligo: Maria Cristina falls. Pero para mas angkop, "Danilo, galing ka nanaman sa Beatrice Betina falls mo!" Hahaha.

(sa bus din)
Angelus: Danilo, patugtog ka nga! (nanloloko kasi isa yung kanya sa mga cheap fones namin. Hahaha.)
Pot: Osige. Anong tugtog gusto mo? Nokia tune?

Kareena - the English Copyreader
Isa sa mga favorite RS Dudies ko! Nacucutean ako sa taong to, pati sa kanyang kapatid! :) Super ingay nito, isa pa yan! Kala mo yung boses niya pag nagsalita rinig sa buong eskwelahan. Hahaha. Andaming firsts nito sa Angeles, pano ba naman kasi super taken-care of ito ng kanyang parents. Muntik na nga siyang ihatid at sunduin imbis na samahan kami sa bus. :) Tapos, first time din niya mag-zagu, pati mag-balot. Niloloko din namin siyang first time niya mag-KFC at sumakay sa jeep. Haha. Nung isang gabi, nalasing ito sa kakainom ng Cheers! Kung anong pinagsasabi ng batang ito. Napakadaldal at katuwa! Nagulat ako nung nag-mall kami, mahilig din pala to tumingin-tingin ng damit! Sobrang nagulat ako. Magkavibes din kami nito at Johannah, kasi mga adik din sila sa Naruto! Katabi ko to, kaya tuwing umaga nasakin na yung kumot niya. Hinihila ko. Haha. Kung kumain din to ng saging, super mabagal. Ang kanya kasing quote, mas masarap daw pag dinahan-dahan. Kaya ayun, pati Mr. Chips, at banana bread, dinahan dahan niya. Hahaha. Nakakamiss. Mahilig din tong magcopyread! Not particularly in paper! As in sa mga pinagsasabi ng mga tao! Tulad na lang nito:

Chacha: Okay narin po Ma'am kasi satisfy na din ako dun.
Kareena: Cha, satisfied.

Hahaha. Miski sa kwento, silang dalawa ni Palos na copyreader ang nag-aaway. Hahaha.

Palos: Tapos sa rearview mirror, may nakita silang babae.
Kareena: Hindi pa kaya yun yon! Lumabas muna sila ng kotse.

Haha. Ang adik talaga.

Giancarlo(Palos) - the Filipino Copyreader
Silang dalawa ni Kareena ang pinakafavorite ko. :) Tinawag namin siyang Palos kasi si Giancarlo, Jake Cuenca, ang bida sa Palos, na kanyang kapangalan. Hahaha. Eto ang aking anak. Naging anak ko lang siya duon. Pinagtripan namin ang kanyang posture. Hahaha. E panu ba naman kasi, anlaki ng tiyan niya pagnakatayo, e mapayat naman siya! Tinawag namin siyang friar botod at beer belly. Nakakatuwa tong taong to. Dahil siya lang ang Sun subscriber samin, at nakaplan pa, tinake-advantage namin ang kanyang UNLI at tumawag ng kung sino-sinong Sun people. Ang kanyang phone ang isa sa pinaka source namin ng music, kaso nga lang ayaw niya! Kasi mabilis daw malowbatt. Pero wala siyang magagawa. Hahaha. Nung kumain kami sa MCDO, siya ang may pinakasulit na order. Panu ba naman, isang mcsavers na spaghetti at isang chicken with rice. So sa isandaan, meron na siyang chicken strips at spag! Ayus! :) Siya lang ang may dala ng OFF lotion samin, siya lang ang kikay e. Tapos, kaganda din ng legs ng batang ito. Haha. Habang naglalakad kami, lagi niyang gusto sa tabi ng mga kotse, mukang ewan! Tapos lagi kaming nagdadare na mag-Hi sa mga tao, kasi nga City of Friendships tong lugar na to. Hahaha. Siya ang pinakanapagtripan sa laro naming Lengthwise. Katuwa. At siya din ang pilit peyborit na ninoNyok ng mga boys. Hahaha. Super thoughtful din to, kasi naisipan niyang bilhan ng regalo ang kanyang bestfriend na lalaki sa RS. Tinatanong nga namin kung pang-ilang monthsary na nila e! Hahaha. Niloloko namin na sila na. Hahaha. Naku, mamimiss kong palu-paluin tiyan ni Palos. :)

Chacha: Palos, pasan!
Palos: Lowbatt na e.
Chacha: Ha???

Tawa-tawa. Akala niya pa-Sun. Hahaha. :)

Grabe! Super mamimiss ko tong mga taong to! Hinding-hindi ko sila makakalimutan. Super kulang talaga yung five days na yon... So sad. Pati sina Mamsi at Mam Daduya, nagenjoy naman sa company naming lahat. ANSAYA TALAGA!!! T T

Since I can't post anything, I'll put one of my creative-writing pieces that I constructed yesterday in our RSPC Intensive Training. :) Anyway, this will be my last day to post, since we will leave tomorrow. I'll be back on Friday or Saturday. This will be my first time to join a regional contest in writing, so I am not hoping or expecting anything. All I know is that I'll be putting my best effort, and craziest thinking. I just want the experience. I'll be happy with that. :) God Bless me. God Bless Us. God Bless Gapo. :]

CLIMATE CHANGE
And What Have I Done To Mother Earth Lately?

Leaves fall. That's normal. The world falling into pieces? Now that's tragic.
I am not a hippocrite. I will not deny that I am at times a contributor to the polar bears' madness of the ice caps melting like crap. On the other hand, I am also not a criminal. I find the innocent globe too innocent to be laid by my hands on. So I am actually proud that I did something a surgeon would do to our dying Tinseltown. Let me introduce to you how my scalpel did the miracle.

1. I THOUGHT OF PLANTING SEEDLESS PLANTS IN OUR GARDEN. You calling me crazy now? I'm just telling that I did think of doing something even if it's impossible. Wel, in our case, it is the super opposite of impossible. That is first step, to actually input in your tiny brain that the world is shouting, "Look at Me! Think about me! I am dying!", and it needs yuor help. It yearns for a tiny help from our tiny minds. It just wants to be cared enough, like a sick mother crying for attention from her intelligent, rich, now-busy kid. The thought counts.

2. I READ THE BIBLE. Yep. I've been searching for miracles in the bible... and good deeds... and right minds of thinking. Maybe this will help me to be inspired in saving this first-day creation, and then I will inspire others for a faster "saving the mankind".

3. I DAYDREAMT OF TALKING THINGS WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T BE. Yesterday, the trees strangled me with their branches. The other day, the atmosphere almost suffocated me. Now, the polar bears are bellowing in the top of their lungs, they are furious! Everyday, they keep on torturing my conscience! Aren't you bugged out? This is revenge and I don't want a piece of this, so I might as well stand up now and start changing.

4. I STUDIED HOW ICE MELTS. I realized one thing about this "melting" issue. When you put the ice tray out of the freezer, you watch it turn into liquid, it will really turn into liquid! First of all, why will you get it out of the freezer when you know that it'll lose its displacement? Watching it, jeopardizes it more! Bringing it back where it truly belongs will restore its importance, just like the Earth. Hey, wouldn't that ice cube taste good with orange juice?

5. I REFUSED TO WRITE ON PAPER. I will not forget how I took a Math quiz on my palm. Yes, because I'm saving paper. Hahaha. NAH! I'm just kidding, but I do save the trees! I minimize my handwriting just to maximize the spaces in my piece of paper. I don't do paper airplanes anymore, and I don't pass secret messages on paper since I cared so much of this world. And the best thing, I don't throw crumpled paper on my teacher's back anymore. Seriously.

6. I LIMITED MYSELF IN GOING TO THE MALLS. My main point here is the plastic bags. I tell you, they really help in increasing the global warming, which is bad. You can't really help to buy something when you enter the place, other than if you don't have money. I'm not blaming my self-control here. I AM BLAMING THE PLASTIC BAGS!

7. I YELLED AT OUR LAUNDRY MAID FOR USING THE DRYER TOO OFTEN. This is not a deed of a bad kid, I just thought of our planet at stake! And she seems not to care. In the first place, what is the use of the sun??? The clothespins??? And the clotheswire??

8. I ALMOST ATE A CANDY WRAPPER. Are you appreciating my concern now? I was just eating this candy when I can't find any garbage bin around. Too bad my pants don't have pockets. Oh was that my unluckiest day? I was close to putting it into my mouth, but that's just stupid. So I just held into it until I found one can... of trash. Yeah, now I know you idolize me. :)

9. I DON'T USE AIR FRESHENERS OR HAIRSPRAYS ANYMORE... EVEN AT TIMES WHEN I NEED IT MORE THAN OXYGEN. One night, a smelly dead rat almost killed my smelling senses. I asked everyone to find it, but they can't locate it's hazardous aroma. Where the corner did that dead rat just died?? I have stopped myself from using air fresheners, since the day I cared for the ozone layer. But I did not want the poisoned oxygen that moment! I want the air freshener! Bad thing I love the world, so be it this sacrificial person in me.

10. I WALK FROM OUR HOUSE TO SCHOOL AND VICE VERSA. I save gas, I save the world. It's a good thing, I'm also getting a make-my-body-sexy session. :)

11. I TALKED TO GOD ABOUT EVERYTHING. Hey, he's the omnipotent and all-knowing in here. He can transform the pesky little minds of these stubborn humans in the planet. So while I'm changing myself for the betterment of the environment, I might help him change the minds of others.

I will not wait for Earth's Doom Day. Don't tell me you already have a ticket. Until I have two hands and a piece of mind, I will not be giving up. You're also a surgeon my friend. Now let's join scalpels! :)

That was it. Good Morning to Everyone and Goodbye for now. :)
I'll pack my bags first. AAAAGH.
TOODLES. :)

I am actually happy right now, but I don't know till when will this last. I don't know if this is for "ever after". Anyway, is there a happiness for ever after?? Well, don't mistake me for being suicidal just because I'm getting emotional out here. I just don't get the times when personal problems hit me like crap. You want to know what I want? I want to find someone that can answer my prayers. I don't need a genius or a superman. I just need somebody to care for me. I don't understand why sometimes I find it unfair that I care for my friends a lot but I can't get someone to care for me like I care for others. Random stuffs get in my head, asking myself of what is with me that makes me hard to love? I don't know why I am being a sweet potato out here! All I know is that I am cold of the fickle weather! WATTT A SHIT OF ALL THIS CARING STUFF! ;p I am not mad. I AM JUST SLEEPY. Just to clear things out, this does not prove that I am an emo kid. ;p

So... I am really close to dozzzzzzzzing my ass off here, but I find this time the perfect time to tell of my today's happy stories. I do believe in lucky charms and stuffs and I do notice if something that I wear today brings me luck or not! And I just realized something.. I have these 'playing-card-shaped//looking' earrings, one with the hearts, and another (not a card shape) a spade! Whenever I wear the one with the hearts, I get to be happy with my bunch 'o friends! As in super EXTRALICIIOUS bonding! But whenever I wear this spade one, I get lucky in my career. Technically, it brings me good luck in my writing and makes me gain a lot of winnings! So since tomorrow will be my Journalism training in Tapinac Elem, might as well wear my spade earrings para naman hindi ako mapahiya! I have to write something good lalo na the expectations are a bit hanging in a high elevation!

To start the day off, I rode my drifting school bus to school, SAFELY. As usual, maagang pumalaot service ko. 6:45AM, I am already in school, at ang dadatnan ko lang sa room e madalas si Kring, Karren, at Pat lang. This day, I saw Kring and Karren sleeping in their tables again. Same scene as always. Si Pat wala kasi nalate nanaman ng gising. These days, I notice that her waking routines are getting late. Nakalock pa yung room, pero ang dalawang babes nasa loob na ng room. Same old, bukas ang bintana, nang-akyat nanaman sila ng glass window! Hahaha. Tinatamad ako na gawin yung ginawa nila, at wala din naman akong gagawin sa loob, so I stayed outside. I sat on the yellow rusty bench, and thought of how it looked like years ago. Kung ganun pa din ba siya kayellow. At anong itsura niya nung hindi pa siya kinakalawang. I don't have anyone to talk to kaya pinanood ko yung mga freshmen na naglalaro, MALIBAN SA PAGKAUSAP SA AKING SARILI. Lol. I watched these students strut themselves in the vball court. Since the moment I woke up, I craved for a volleyball play! Gusto kong iexercise ang aking body, PROMISE! Kelangan ko talaga ng matinding galaw-galaw at pagbanat ng buto! Good thing, there is nothing to do today. :) So we have more time to play catch, dig, ang spike! OOHYEAH. :p

Napansin ko na lang, parang 30mins na ko nakaupo dun sa yellow bench, wala pa ring seniors! The catch is, some of the seniors are on the CLSU contest. It's an IP thing. Others who are not here are on the Journalism Training. Yeah, too bad for me, wala akong kasamang Senior bukas! But at least, I get a chance to play V. :) At kulang na kulang pa din kami, because marami din ang hindi na pumasok dahil alam nilang wala namang gagawin. Haha. Well, WALA NAMAN TALAGANG GAGAWIN! GINAGAWA! AT GINAWA! Lol. :)

Time passed by so fast. Nakapaglaro ako ng Volley! Yeah, a lot of times! Grabe yung pagkamiss ko sa super sport na to! Super love ko talaga! :) Naputol nga lang because of the PE time of the freshmen, na volleyball din, at ang aming PT-GOLD joint class in Eco. We learned about computing tax incomes. Nalaman din namin kung gano kalaki ang kinukupit ng gobyerno sa mga tao. Kung gano kalaki, di ko maisip na ganun din kalugmok ang Pilipinas. Hahaha. Atleast I had fun. After tax, another tax, and more taxes, di na ko nakaalis sa kinauupuan ko, kasi gumana nanaman ang machichika naming bibig ni Betina. Hahaha. We talked about a lot again. Nang dumating si Juju, at bumanat ako ng bumanat. Napatahimik si Bets. Hahaha. Lumiko-liko yung topic na halos kung ano-ano na napagusapan.

I finished lunch with Betina wanting to eat lunch too. I am done with my Beef Kaldereta when she started on her Burger Steak. Pasaway na bata talaga! I was forcing her to eat with me, para di naman ako malungkot, sabi niya hindi daw talaga sia nagugutom. Pero ayun, nainggit sa kinakain ko, nagpahatid kay Ate Athen ng food. Haha. After eating, we went to the court and saw EJ and Val. We saw a basketball and started to play Miracle. First, it was just a silly game, hanggang sa nagkaron ng bets! We betted that whoever loses, will be a slave of the winner for two hours! Hahaha. Three of us played. Betina, me, and EJ. Good thing!!!! I was in the middle, and Betina gets to take the bad luck for the day. Lol.

We made fun of her being a slave. Amiel kept on saying, "akalain mong yung prinsesa, e alipin ngayon". Hahaha. We then went back to Gold, and I slept.... I was soooo sleepy. Julian slept with his pillow! Val slept without a pillow but lying. I slept without a pillow, and sitting! But still, as long as I have music, it's fine with me.
After waking up of that bone-in-the-shoulder-breaking sleep, I proceeded to the V-court and found myself screaming and enjoying the play of TROPA vs DBS BOYS. Hahaha. The street team versus the official team. We are all screaming our asses off! It was a super exciting game. Yung bola talaga tumatagal ng mga 30 minutes sa ere. Hahaha. Kidding! Exagg naman! Mga 5mins. MAMA E is super taray pagdating sa service! He even did a split just to save the ball! SOOPER NICE. And it ended with the TROPA TEAM winning the game! :)

Going home, I made a choice to commute again. We went to eat at Mcdo and talk about different stuffs. Love and teasing are the best topics! OMG. Hahaha. Gumawa din kami ng pakana para mapag-usap si Omar and Joan. They did, by the way! But it ended super sad. Pero, that's how life is supposed to be. How can we not be used to it?? We walked till Rotonda.... repeating yesterday's routines. It was fun with EJ and Val around. We got more things to talk about. We realized that it's so fun walking in the middle of the night. :)

We will repeat it!

Now, I am too sleepy.... I can't take it anymore. I'll be waking up early kasi. :)
My one-week off is coming to town, so I might as well take this time to SULIT!
SULITPOST for FREE! ;p

Goodluck for me tomorrow. :)
TOODLES!

I have quoted a new term! It's a verb which is - 'Madagascar 2'. It was so funny, since my dad is close to having a job in Africa. And both of my parents are there right now. They are checking the place and everything, so when I tell my friends why am I still with them that late in the night (7PM is late for me, since I don't commute a lot). I will say to them, "Ahh. Wala kasi parents ko e. NagMadagascar 2! Lol! Every person na sinabihan ko nito ang reaction e, "Oh? San sa Manila?" or "Palabas na? Saan??". They thought I am referring to the movie. But what I truly mean is that "they escaped to Africa". Hahaha. It happened in perfect timing! So cool. :)

So. I am totally happy today. We just had a Journalism training and I just finished one article. I am not proud of myself. Ofcourse, we feasted on Mamsi's foodums: Adobo and Monggo! Super da best! :) Tapos ang swerte, meron pa kaming Goldilocks treat for the PM merienda. Sobrang lucky! :) Later in the afternoon nagkaron kami ng practicum for volleyball. Ayun, it looks as if hindi ako naglaro even then! Kasi pumapalpak ako parati. Ewan ko, sobrang mentally tired ako, sabi ni Sir Alip sobrang makakatulong daw tong pagiging physically active ko. Thanks naman don. So kahit papano inayos ko naman, pero parang wala pa ring lumalabas na galing, di katulad ng dati na adik-adik ako. Pero atleast natapos na kami yung winner. Big kudos and thanks to the addicted players: Mikmik and Dane. :)

I went back to the lib at yun nagprayer kami at nagwalang-kupas na lecture about punctuality. Sobrang lakas ng tama saken! Pano ba naman kasi, i was close to being left in our retreat. As in ilang minutes na lang patay-patay na! :) Pero good thing nakaabot ako diba! Ansaya nun. Pero this Monday, hindi talaga ako pwedeng malate. Mamamatay ako, todos!

After our super-wonder prayers, bumalik ako sa V-ball court at nanuod ng games ng Gold. Nakatabi ko si Franz at nanlait-lait nnaman kame. Super fun talaga! :) Napaisip ako na kaka-retreat lang namin pero ganun kagad! So bad.... Hahaha. Pero namiss ko tong bonding na to! And then, kinulit ko nanaman yung mga tao! Si Pot and everyone. Nasobrahan ata ako sa kakakulit at kakatsika sa mga tao. Pero sobrang saya ko. :)

I chose to commute, kasi gusto ko makabonding tong mga taong to, MULI. Ayun, since it's getting dark wala nang masakyan so nagstart kaming maglakad sa forest na iyon. :) It didn't get too tagal kasi ambibilis maglakad ng mga kasama ko. Hiningal talaga nila ako, at at buti na lang ansarap kakwentuhan ng mga kasama ko. At andun si Papa Cy, ang lalaking forever kong kinukulit at finiflirt. Hahaha. Wala akong magawa e! Buti na lang mabait siya. :)

I remembered, aalis na pala kami ng Monday. It's so sad. Five days akong mawawala.. At, yung isa sa mga araw na yon, birthday ni close friend Bettsi! Pero atlist andito ako ng thirteen. :) Kaya ngayon, nanghihingi na ako ng mga remembrance sa mga taong mamimiss ko. Si moks, nagbigay na nung mailman niyang parang stuffed keychain. :) Si Phil ang kanyang cologne, at si Mikmik ang kanyang mahiwagang pambura. Yung iba, bukas ko na lang sisingilin! Hahaha. I don't know, it might even serve as a lucky charm for me! :)

Anyway, continuing my story for this day, dumiretso kami kay Lady Siomai, ang paboritong Manang ng bayan. Hahaha. Kumain lang ako ng cheese corn at sila Mikmik, Cess, Phil, Omar, at Ry, kumain ng 3 pcs na siomai. Wala ako sa mood magSiomai e. :) Nang may isang bata na lumapit dun at nagtanong kung sinong mabait. Sabi ko, "ako"! Nagpapalibre kasi siya ng cheese corn. Ayun, ininterview ko siya.

Ako: Sige, ililibre kita. (tinitignan ko kung anong reaction niya.)
Bata: (ngumiti) Sige na ate, palibre.
Ako: May pera ka e o! (tinuturo ko 20 pesos niyang hawak)
Bata: Hindi. Kasi nag-iipon ako para sa Christmas party namin e.
Ako: Ows? Talaga lang?? Jinojoke mo lang ako e!
Bata: Hindi. Tanong mo pa sila. (sabay turo sa dalawang batang kasama niya)
Ako: Totoo ba?
Isa Pang Bata: Opo. Nag-aaral po siya sa Banicain! Nagtataekwando pa nga po e!
Ako: Ay taekwando! Rich pla kayo e!
Bata: Hindi. Scholar lang po ako e!
Ako: Ah. Mabait ka ba?
Bata: Opo.
Ako: Di ka makulit? Talaga?
Bata: Opo. Tinutulungan ko pa nga po sina Ate dito e.
Ako: (padukot na sa wallet) Eh. Bat ka ngumingiti-ngiti? Niloloko mo ata ako e!
Bata: Hindi po talaga.
Ako: (pakuha na) Ay. Tumatawa! Jinojoke ata ako!
Bata: Ate, hindi po!
Ako: E bat ka pala tumatawa?
Bata: Eh ate, maganda ka e!
Ako: Abang bata ito, nambola pa! Hahaha. Hindi ba talaga ako jinojoke nito?
Isa Pang Bata: Hindi po!
Ako: Osige. (kumuha na ng pera) Isshare mo sa kanila?
Bata: Batukan ko pa sila e!
Ako: Ay! Hindi isshare! Wag na lang pala.
Bata: Hindi na pala. Isshare ko.
Ako: Talaga?
Bata: Opo.
Ako: (binigay ko na pera) O ako na magbibigay kay ate, baka yosi pa bilhin mo.
Isa Pang Bata: Ate ako din! Wala na. Yun na lang. Share na lang kayo!
Bata: Ayan! ATE, ISA NGA PONG CHEESE CORN! YUNG MARAMING SABAW! MARAMI PONG SABAW A!
Phil: Sabaw na lang kaya bilhin mo!
Bata: (nakuha na ang cheese corn)
Ako: O, ishare mo sa kanila!
Omar: Alukin mo sila!
Bata: Gusto niyo??
Isa Pang Bata: Sige lang.
Ako: Ay, siya lang kumakain. Share ka.
Bata: (lumapit sa dalawang bata, nagshare sila)
Ako: Walang thank you?
Bata: Thank you po! Welcome!
Ako: Hahaha. Anong pangalan mo?
Bata: TONTON POGI!

Grabe. Nakakatuwa yung batang yon. :) Para sa Christmas party nia, may maibigay lang siyang regalo, namamalimos siya. :) I was super touched. Hahaha. Ambaet ko ngayon.

Ayun. Tumuloy na kami sa always-next destination, 7/11 para mag-PWERSADONG SLURPEE. Ang 5 pesos na slurpee na nasusulit at mukhang ten pesos o minsan 15 o minsan pumupuslit para sa pineapple juice. Hahaha. Ansasama. :) Trip lang po. Napansin namin ang mga problema sa aming mga panlabas na anyo. Pano ba naman, sinong di macoconscious sa dami ng salamin at ilaw sa 7/11?? Antindi. Ayaw nga namin ni Phil na tumitingin dun sa mga salamin dun e. Ampangit ng reflection. Pero di kami yung pangit. Hahaha. Nagkaron ng konting LAITAN! Hahaha. Pero normal.

Naisipan na naming lumabas at naisip nila na maglakad hanggang Rotonda. Aba, aba. Pinapaexercise niyo talaga ako?? Eh medyo kinabahan lang ako dahil gabi na, pero okay naman. Pumayag ako, kasi saglit lang naman siguro yon. Ayun, nagchikahan kami on the way! :) Napag-usapan ang SIMBANG GABI. Sana mapayagan ako. Wala naman kaming gagawing masama. Magsisimba lang together, diba? Sana talaga payagan ako ng parents. :) I want to complete this para makapagwish ako.

So yun lang, sobrang naappreciate ko ang kasiyahan ko ngayong gabi! Weeeee. :) Andami kong nalaman at naishare. Hahaha. Sana ganto uli bukas. Nakakainis, me intensive training kami sa Saturday sa Tapinac. Hindi ko alam kung makakasulat ako ng mabute, pero hopefully oo! Hayy. :) Goodluck naman. Sila kasi mauuna bukas e. Yung mga kaclose ko kahit pano. Kasama ko sa sabado sina Kareena, Hanna, at Palos. Ayon, hopefully naman, masaya kahit pano! :)

I'll be going! I MISS HOUSE. :) Magthetherapy ako maya-maya! :) I NEED SLEEP.
Toodles!

If tears are considered mass to be gained or lost, I should be thin by now! I lost buckets and buckets of tears in our SUPER TERIBLE RETREAT! And other than that, I learned a lot of things. I appreciated a lot of stuffs. I will continue to learn, continue to appreciate, and continue to cherish the left time for us Seniors! :)

December 2 and 3. Who would've thought that these two dates will change our maturities... will wake us from the bitter truths of life... will let us experience the sweetest things with God and friends. The two-day spiritual retreat helped us discover each others' inner self.

We learned about affirmation and rejection. Two opposite things na sobrang nakakaapekto sa buhay ng tao. The first one is a positive thing, like praises and recognition of your presence and existence. It's a happy thing kasi you know that you are not a nobody infront of your friends and family, because they love you! The second awful bitch, rejection, is an eternal enemy. Nobody wants to be rejected. And according to one of our retreat masters, Kuya Rannie, no one has the right to reject us. We are entities to be respected and this nega-thing, it should not let it eat us. That's why God is here to protect us from all the hurt. We just have to hold on. :)

Kuya Rannie, Kuya Zolstie and Kuya Gerald are the facilitators of our event. They are so fun to be with, they really woke our senses up. My favorite parts of the retreat are the: CIRCLE OF LOVE, TALKING TO GOD and HUGGING FRIENDS.

The Circle of Love taught us to release the pain and all our bad feelings through sharing our weaknesses to the people in the circle. Meanwhile, our appreciation is highlighted in the part where we are affirmed by each and every one in the circle. It is such a delightful thing to be affirmed. Ang sarap pakinggan na minamahal ka ng mga tao with this super-gandang trait na meron ka. Ma-aappreciate mo talaga yung existence mo, once nagsalita na yung mga mahahalagang tao sa buhay mo. Sayang lang kasi we haven't finished the activity. Inabot na kami ng 1 or 2 because of that. Take note: in the morning. Medyo nainip na daw mga teachers namin kaya kailangan na naming tapusin. It feels wrong kasi this is a time to release all the tension, and the reveal your true self, pero parang pinagkait samin ng time. Pero okay pa din. :) Iyakan blues: step 1.

Talking to God is such a super experience! We are all asked to put blindfold hankies in our eyes and we will have a fantasy watchamacallit. Lol. You will imagine this certain scene through certain instructions. I get to talk to God. About the sacrifices of my parents, I know that they give almost everything for us to have a good life, and I don't want to waste all of their hardships. Narealize ko na masyado ako minsan in wanting things, and talking them out of buying it for me. Minsan pala hindi ko napapansin na nahihirapan na sila sa important needs namin, andame ko pang hinahanap. Parang dapat makuntento ako sa kung anong meron ako. And also, I learned of my friends' problems in their families. Sobrang iyakan dito kasi naging sentimental yung mga Terible sa kanilang relationship with their families. Anghirap isipin na yung mga smiling faces na yon e dumadanas pala ng super heavy problem sa loob nila. Mas lalo naming minahal ang isa't-isa. :)

And the best of everything in the retreat... hugging friends... Ano to, goodbye na ba??? It's so hard to think na magseseparate ways na kami. Ansaket. For the four years of bonding, it seems that it's too soon to be moving on. Parang ambilis ng lahat! Wala namang kalimutan... I just realized that these people infront of me are not ordinary people. Sila ang isang part ng buhay ko kung san sila na ang nagpapatakbo nito. If it weren't for them I will not be super complete like I feel today. Sila ang isa sa pinakamagandang blessing na natanggap ko sa life na to. I will not forget those faces... pati lahat ng pagpapasaya! Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan..

--

Pagdating naman sa place na tinuluyan namin, the ever-beautiful Highlands of Iba, Zambales. Hindi naman kami binigo! Everything went perfect, as it is.

There are two rooms: one for the girls, and the other for the boys. We had triple-deck beds! Super cool! At well-ventilated yung room, hindi ko man lamang naramdaman ang tutok ng araw. The CR is super clean at talagang angganda-ganda! We, girls, enjoyed the mirrors! It made us look white. Ayaw na nga namin umalis sa harap nun e. Haha. A lot of us took a bath at 1 in the morning, pero hindi ako kasama dun. Shinare ko lang kasi napagalitan kami ni Ma'am Sidon. Hahaha. Anlalandi daw namin. Dahil sa walang magawa nung gabing yon, tumakas nanaman kami kay Maam. Lumabas-labas at naghanap ng shooting star. Ang sad para sakin, hindi man lang ako nakakita ng isa! Samantalang yung iba, apat-apat pa yung nakita!

Sa food naman, sobrang nakakabusog! Grabe. Balanced diet talaga. Hindi talaga kami nabigo sa dami ng pinakain samin. Everything tasted good, better, best. Walang not-good food talaga. We even thought na hindi kaya nalugi sila sa mga binayad namin? Hahaha.

The whole place was super clean at mababait naman ang mga tao! Hanna saw and noticed that an American manages the people. So that's why the place is clean daw! Haha. Kasabay namin yung Columban College sa retreat. Sayang. Sana nasolo namin. Pero okay lang naman since minsan lang kami magkadaupangan ng landas! Wow. SUPER FILIPINO NOSEBLEED. Hahaha.

I got no sleep. As in, an hour? Or forty-five minutes?? Tas binulaga ng sobrang lamig na tubig from the shower! Naku, ano kayang napala ko?? Hahaha. Kaya tuloy nung patapos na yung mga sessions, talagang antukan na kami. Everytime na may pinapaimagine, tinatake advantage na namin na matulog. Hahaha. Angkulit!

Again... the experience was the best! The people... everything! Hindi ko to makakalimutan!


Now, my mind is currently offset to sleeping mode kaso marami pa akong gagawin. Tomorrow, our training continues. Yeah, the Journalism training. Medyo nahihirapan ako ngayon kasi hindi talaga gumagana yung utak ko, gustong-gusto na niyang lumanding sa kama, kaya pagkatapos nito, balak ko nang pumuntang Dreamland. :)

Sige. I shall go now! TOODLES! :)

I am just four hours away from our trip to the Highlands for our spiritual retreat. I already packed my bags -- sorry, bag. It's just one night! How many pair of clothes am I supposed to bring? :) Everyone's bugged out lately. Some will prepare his things just now. Some aren't even allowed yet -- Tiny's fingers are still crossed. Some are already taking a bath, or more, eating for an early lunch. A lot have been remarking that the spirit of the retreat went out in a spur. We didn't even feel that it's already breezing upon us.

By the way, I would like to greet my Grandma dear a happy happy birthday! May you have longer years to live by. :) It's a feast in here! But sadly, I won't be able to watch every minute of the 'handaan' since I'll be going around one. :)

in a text message..

Karren (Puto Pao): Ilang scarf dadalhin?
Tsaa (Siopao): Ewan. May sinabi ba si Ma'am na ganon?
K: Oo e.

due to that, I texted Mam Daduya to ask for that itsy bitsy little stuff. And she replied..

Mam: Kahit isa lang dalawa ok din kc baka cry kau dun

Hahaha. So the scarf was for that!

Puto Pao: Para doon lang pala yon??
Siopao: Oo! Hahaha. Ano bang akala mo? Magbibigtian tayo?? Magdala nlang ng tissue box! :))

Lol. Then nag-GM si Cess.. at nagsunod-sunod na mga reaction nila.

Cess (Puchi-puchi): Cha and Karren, kumot na lang ang dalhin para mas malaki.
Puto Pao: Si Tape daw kurtina ang dadalhin!
Siopao: Dalhin nyo na kya yung buong labada nyo! Dahil dyan sa "bka cry kayo dun" na yan! Hahaha.
Thea: Dapat comforter para mas makapal! :)
Gorgeous Val: Sakin plastic. Iipunin ko luha ko!

Then Ian asked if we have to bring a pillow.

Siopao: Sinong sasali? Bigtian mamayang gabi?
Si Ian magdadala ng unan, papatay yan mamayang gabi!
Puto Pao: Talo tayo kay Tape! Kurtina ba naman e!

What a nonsense conversation. Hahaha. :) Naloloka na kami with the thought na retreat na mamaya. At oo, nagrerelax lang talaga ako dito. :)

That's all for today! Goodluck samen, and hope we'll have fun!

I woke up at six, and felt the cold december air. It felt so good, I went back dozing my ass off again. :) And so, I woke up at 10. WTTHE. Am I that sleepy? Did I need that long sleep? Siguro kung hindi ako natulog uli, inaantok ako ngayon. So okay na din. Lol. Someone texted, saying that it's Holy Guacamole December once again! Nun ko lang narealize na, oh no, it is really december hugging my thighs and everything.

By the way, I shifted to this simple-looking layout because I think it defines me. It's colors are girly, but I love it over-all! :)

So... What am I gonna talk about? I got two stories to tell. One is my fantasy of my ever-good looking crush. :) Another is my addiction to House. And one more thing, so it's three pala. My high school story and this boredom that keep me tucked in. Meron pa pala! O four na. Yung RS Musical. :)

One - CRUSH!!!!!

Yesterday is Sunday, right? So since it was a weekly ritual to visit God every Sunday, we went to church. But this Sunday was a different Sunday. :) Usually, we go to St. Joseph for the mass. The whole family attends the 6 PM mass. If you remember, this is the time slot where I get to see my past crush altar boy. But seriously now, I don't find him cute anymore. HAHAHA. So proceeding to my story, even though we are living beside the church, we still find ourselves rushing. Oo. Lagi padin kaming late. HAHAHA. Since I just finished taking a bath and I am still preparing myself,, and my brothers also, my mom and dad went to church first. We always stay in this one place, so we know where to proceed. But then, when we finished fixing ourselves, my dad came back saying that we shall go to Columban na lang. The reason? He saw his bestfrenemy. Was he that mad that we need to adjust for this enemy?? Maybe, he is thinking that he can't concentrate with this man in diameter. I was just shocked of this 'too much staying away'. But I thought, so what, if we're going to Columban??

We then went to the second choice church and marched off. We chose a place outside, since the pews are all occupied and.. and it's cold outside. :) Bearable than inside. I was concentrating myself when suddenly, a car unloaded its passengers just beside me. I looked around, because if any car will do that, that will be my first reaction. And I notice everything as always, and I am not busy with anything, so I glanced back. When I saw who came down the car, it was my ultimate crush!!!!!! Oo! Ultimate to the level na matagal ko na siyang hinahanap. Di ko alam bat di ko na siya nakikita. Pero sobrang napangiti ako nung nakita ko siya! He's with the whole family. :)

He changed a lot, pare! Tumaba siya! But I don't know if that's fat or muscle, basta his body suited his face. :) His face is so white and looks so smooth. Super gwapeeng talaga. He is wearing this green striped sweater, parang Nate ba! Tumangkad din siya! Grabe. His fashion sense changed. Dati super gangster yon e. Ewan ko kung anong nangyare ngayon! Para siyang model. Oh God. Nag-thank you ako kagad kay God. Hahaha. And.. I really felt pink swirls rounding my cheeks. Bigla akong lumipat ng pwesto, kasi uncomfortable na sobrang lapit lang niya sakin. Baka mapatingin ako ng mapatingin, maweirdohan saken! HAHAHA. So I went beside my brother. Lumipat ako sa kabila, pero in that exact place, natatanaw ko pa din siya from the window. TAE! Parang love at first sight na ewan! Hahaha.

Kabatch ko lang tong guy na to e! I had a crush on him since the day I saw him when we were just kindergarten students. He studied in my brother's school and I went into a different school. Up to nung nakita ko siya nung third year, krush ko pa din siya e. But sadly nung time na yon, he has his beautiful girlfriend. Nalungkot talaga ako. HAHAHA. Now, I saw him texting when the mass is currently going on, so I thought, he might still have a girlfriend. It's so sad...

Yun. The mass ended. I glance at him every three minutes. Hahaha. I am satisfied with that. Sobrang saya ko na na nakita ko siya nung gabing yon! Some part of my body told me that I want a boyfriend. :p I WANT HIM.

SANA MAKITA KO SIYA ULE!!!! :ppp Nakikiusap ulit ako kay destiny!

JASPER, baby! Hopefully, no one who is connected to him ang makabasa nito. ;p

Two - House!!!!!

In this long vacation of mine, I always take a dose of House. Yeah. The sitcom with the silly doctor. He looks so funny. I realized that he looks exactly like Bart Simpson! HAHAHAHA. It's so crookedly funny!!! House is a sarcastic doctor, who loves teasing and irritating people with his irritating attitude. He is a miserable cripple, and he is a drug addict. Addicted to Vicodin, his painkillers for his leg. He is still a good man. And even though, he hates everybody, and vice versa, he is still the greatest diagnostician, so they still cherish his existence. ü I love Dr. Chase, his accent, his nice hair, and his good looks! Dr. Cameron, on the other hand, finds admiration for Dr. House. She's a smart, sexy doctor! And Dr. Foreman, the black funny doctor! They are all matched for the series. I always laugh when I'm watching. I am now in Season 2! Yehey. :) I'll watch later.

Three - My High School and Boredom Story

So... I'm calling out all the seniors. AREN'T YOU EXCITED? THRILLED? RETREAT STARTS TOMORROW. I don't know if I should be sad or jumping with glee! This is one celebration for the Senior checklist, that earns a check this Wednesday. I think I should feel both. Sad, because, it's a sad thing! We'll be crying our asses out. Thinking of all the memories we've shared... Thinking that we are close to leaving. I can't imagine all of us going separate ways, but I think it's time. Jumping with glee, because it's a bonding moment for all of us!!! :) I might as well think of the two as good things. I realized that this life really worked out for me. I am so happy. I am so thankful for all the friends I have known in this life. I love them. :)

We are having this long vacation, since today is a holiday and the two days after this day is our retreat. I don't even know what holiday am I celebrating. Um. Is it sitting-all-day holiday? Hahaha. Well. I have been strutting myself into this seat for almost the whole day! Nyahaha. I am even starving myself, because the mirror is just beside me. I always see how fat I am turning every crouch and crunch, and every minute I remain in this swivelchair. Hahaha.

Tomorrow is my grandma's birthday! Many people are sure to come! She is having her celebration with a lot of food! Oh no. :) Since the 'handaan' is at lunch time, and since I am going to the retreat at one pm, maabutan ko pa ang masarap na kainan! YEHEY. :)

*I should be buying foodums today. For tomorrow's cracklings and dut duts. ;)

Four - RS MUSICAL!!!!

Yeah. Our school will be preparing for the RS MUSICAL: SENIOR YEAR! Every senior will take part in the play! Yeah. We are the stars! We are all so excited! We hope everyone supports our show! But before that, every senior shall release that inner confidence in him. If we want something successful, no shy guy shall hinder the plans! Talagang todo bigay lahat kung gusto diba! Walang hiya-hiya! Goodluck naman sakin! Hahaha. The casting crew already have the list.. And the script was already made. Kulang na lang talaga yung starting day of preparation, at ang readiness ng lahat! Hahaha.

I will play Sharpey for the 'I Want It All' song with Ryan. OMG. It's a bit long. I hope I can do it! Hahahaha. Goodluck to everyone! This is something we leave to the alma mater. :)

May God help us out! MWAAA Seniors.

Goodbye for one day!
TOODLES!
