an all-around weird world

a short long trip

Wed, 16 Nov 2005 14:30:57 +0000

showing na harry potter, people!! but damned father time has not allowed me to see the magic of cinema that is harry potter and the goblet of fire. :(

anyway. just an hour ago i got back from a very short long trip. yes, a short long trip. i was in bad need of a book for philo 11 today, and it wasn't until late afternoon that my mom called me up and reported the results of her inquiries to national bookstore and goodwill bookstore. apparently, the last 2 available copies (oo, as in dalawa na lang!!) were in Goodwill bookstore, MEGAMALL. grabe, heavy na 'to. so around 6:30 when she arrived, we left immediately for Megamall. Hai. (I even got car sick..=P) we got there, dashed over to BLDG B, which i had no idea where in hell it was located.., then went inside goodwill, got the book, paid for it, and went home. yeah, my venture to megamall was a short one. and to think it's only the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever been to that place in my life... :P hehe.

It's kinda late already, and I still have a Kasaysayan assignment to do.. but I just thought I'd blog first. Homework's boring, if you haven't noticed.. :) hehe. And anyway.. the topic of the essay is "Sino Ka?" That's a piece of cake.. I love my Kas1 class.. it's fun.. although i have yet to make many friends... (yahoo groups: balanghay_pangkasaysayan@yahoogroups.com) the prof's real fun... (the one that pulled that stunt with impersonating a student.. :P)

so yeah, i'm looking forward to tomorrow. joelle and i have got some unfinished business with mr.features. i can't wait to know what's gonna happen.. hehe =) so okay, goodnight.

hala bored na

Wed, 16 Nov 2005 03:05:51 +0000

normally on a week day i'd be rambling on about how much school stuff i have to do. but on this lovely, warm, no-class day, there isn't really much to complain about. its a wednesday, meaning no classes for me, and majority of the UP population. so i babble..

on the issues of conflict.

there's so much conflict in our lives today. people may have good intentions all at once, but different means of implementation.. thus conflict is aroused. there is no one solution to conflict. but it is always compromise. it's like saying "hey come on, meet me halfway here." now if everybody said that, we'd be living in utopia, if it existed that is.. and since it more often doesn't happen, one would have to say "all right, if that's what you want..." but that's not always a good thing. i'm not saying it's wrong or anything... it's just asking too much on the part of that person.. do deprive him/her from expressing their desire and putting it into action. but this way works fine. it's more often the way things work. that person becomes the one who works to keep the flow of things uninterrupted by a simple conflict. ganun naman palagi yun diba? parang sa mga relationship.. one-sided ang sacrifice but it still works. how this world revolves i shall never comprehend.

on new habits and holidays

Sun, 13 Nov 2005 05:17:57 +0000

hai. after a very long time of being "internet-less" at home.. eto na. so old habits are becoming new ones. why is it that i could spend SO many hours over the internet and not really be doing anything.. just clicking away to wherever the net takes me.. which is good sometimes, i get to see stuff, read stuff, makakalap ng impormasyon.. but then again sometimes it's all chat and not really important stuff. whatever.

pasok nanaman tomorrow. not that i'm fearing it or anything, it's just the waking up early and the hassle of commuting that gets me ticked. but all else is good, keeps me living. =)

christmas is just a few more weeks away. i'm not that eager about it though, (not a good thing) coz of some reason i can't seem to put my finger on. it's like it has become one of those childhood things that i've outgrown. i don't really care much for gifts and all that jazz anymore. last christmas, we didn't really celebrate that much. just a family dinner (the usual) then off to bed. di kami masyadong bongga when it comes to traditional holidays and events. even new year's a bummer sometimes. i don't even have that class christmas party to look forward to anymore.. that's long gone. but still, that faint cheeriness is still tagging along.. and it's kinda enough to keep the holiday special for me (i guess) blah...=P

i just realized something.. i haven't read a book in SO long. (novel, i mean). the last book i read was harry potter & the half-blood prince. that was kind of a long time ago. parang na-bore bigla ako sa pagbabasa. it really used to me my main pasttime..=P i had my mind set on reading some new stuff.. like dan brown's other novels.. but i just can't seem to find the time anymore nowadays.. there's always stuff to do.. and ~~NOT~~ do. hehe. ohwel.

sheesh

well, its the first weekend of the semester.. not very well spent, so far. my week was very eventful, though..

registration hai. i have only one word to describe this University Phenomenon... PILA!!! 2 hours ka ba naman nakapila na walang tinutunguhan..=P hai buhay..

first day of classes. nakakainis. mga prof di rin naman sumipot, sana di nalang ako pumasok..=P but nevertheless, it was kinda good. nakasama ko muli ang iba kong friends, got to see the school again... explore, walk, get sunburned..=P made a few new friends din, the fun part. but as usual, si joelle uli ang aking ka-"block" (adopted, really). ok na rin that i have someone i know in most of my classes.. it would be so much easier for the transition.

second day of classes. i only had CompSci and math yesterday. i got to meet my CS prof (a woman.. my gosh). we had a brief introduction to Java Prog and some course rules and stuff. then in math we just had a few date announcements. i hung out with joelle a while after that.. bored to death, under the trees near the lagoon.. watching jeepneys pass us by.. the occassional car.. and "tough" guys in pink. LOL. then we went home, for lack of something else to do.

so, so far i have no schoolwork whatsoever to busy myself with this weekend.. just livin la vida loca! =)
oh and in CS class we were asked to write down our favorite quotes.. damn, wala ako maisip.. so yeah, livin la vida loca is good..=)

my life.. dejavu

hay naku.. i'm here again at netopia, bf.. last night i was here with yana and juancho till about 10pm playing DotA and CS.. haha! :) anyway... ngayon naman mejo maaga-aga kami nagstart so i guess di na kami gagabihin.. :)

malapit na pasukan!! yey! super excited na ko.. di ko na ma-take ang long lonely days ko sa bahay.. buti nga ngayon mejo nakakalabas na ko with some of my friends.. but this is just seldom.. tapos wala pang internet sa bahay.. haha! total torture!:P

any suggestions on how to have a good time without exhausting the contents of the precious thing called the wallet? haha! i'd be glad to hear any suggestion.. dahil super exhawsted na talaga ang waley ko!! hahaha!

alam ko na, bili na lang kayo ng mp4 para ma-refresh at ma-replenish ang laman.. haha! kidding.. but if you do wanna buy mp4s, email me na lang.. or si joelle.. or kung sino mang kakilala ko.. haha! mayee@gamebox.net or text me 09209286814.. yey! hehe la lang..

oh well.. that's all for now.. till next time, y'all..

bored sa sembreak..=P

Wed, 26 Oct 2005 12:57:53 +0000

ang munting sembreak.. it only comes once in a blue moon (well, once in a school year). habang wala pa ito, sobrang atat na lahat na dumating ito, pero pag anjan na, parang gusto ko na mamatay at bumalik ng UP! hahaha! i'm sooooo bored na. buti nga ngayon i'm with yana and juancho at netopia.. nagDOTA kami hahaha! :) (late out with friends is always a good remedy for ANTYHING.) so anyway, so far wala pa ulit old people na kinakausap ako or stuff.. =P and mejo may nagagawa naman din pala ako coz intrams na sa manresa so i get to go there and just hang out with friends and stuff..=P hai.. yun.. sige, la na ko matype.. haha! gubay!

oh diba, kapartner ni lolo sa prev entry ko.. haha! well anyway. it's sembreak na, and so far la pa ako masyadong nagawa for my vakasyon..:P

last monday pumunta kami ni joelle sa la salle taft para... um ewan, wala, pumunta lang kami dun! :) hehe.. we almost got lost and kanda loka-loka na kami dun haha! :) di ka ba naman magpapanic if on your way to la salle TAFT, MANILA ay makakita ka ng sign na "you are now entering the province of cavite"????? haha! coastal road lang pala haha! anyway.. yun. when we got there tumambay lang kami with vincent, dan and johann sa mcdo.. then nagDOTA kami! omigolly! new experience. i went on a death spree. i would've won kung paramihan ng deaths.. but hinde.. but still!! na-first blood ko si johann!! wahahaha! super fun. i think we spent almost three hours there.. then yun.. tapos na, and i had to leave my dream school behind..:P hehe. kidding.

so now i'm at netopia mrt station ayala. galing ako school. i had to see if i got excempted or not from my CHEM / PHYSICS finals. I AM!!! haha! so fun.. yun lang. then uwi na agad.

i decided to pass by mcdonalds here nga and get some fries coz di pa ako naglunch.. then out of the blue this old chinese lady sits beside me and starts story-telling.. haha! (am i some kind of old person magnet or something?!?) anyway.. yun.. she said she was waiting for someone and that she's from valenzuela or something.. her speech was something like this:

"student ka lang no? you look like a student. How old are you because you look only 13 years old. i have grandchildren, you know. I'm from valenzuela.. do you know valenzuela? they're putting up a new mall there, SM valenzuela. you know malls are good for the environment, and you have entertainment, but it's really bad for students. especially the new one, SM valenzuela.. do you know Valenzuela city? it's a city somewhere in the north. well anyway. the new mall SM Valenzuela is right infront of Fatima. you know fatima? it's quite popular in valenzuela. I'm chinese, by the way.. but i'm still filipino.. (wadapak?) you know there were these students from fatima, the school in Valenzuela, that were seen by their parents in the mall when they were supposed to be in class.. naku they gave all kinds of excuses. they said they were asked by their teacher to make a report about the mall.. do you believe them??? ako: no, i don't. that's so sad. (sympathy... / concern..) naku it's very sad talaga. but you really can't do anything because they are passing naman in school. do you pass? kamusta grades mo? ako: ahh, pumapasa naman po kahit papano.. that's good. i'm sure nag-aaral ka palagi. hindi ka masyado sa malls noh?...

ah basta.. that's the way it went. i felt guilty wanting to leave pero grabe it was so dragging..=P then i made up some excuse so i could go.. and now i'm here. haha!

ohwel. yun lang.=P bye.

...you had a bad day

Fri, 23 Sep 2005 03:37:45 +0000

define bad day... yesterday. for the first time in a very LONG time, i left the house a bit early so that i could get to class ahead of time. well guess what, sarado MRT! haha! it turns out there was this accident thing that happened at the cubao station so i only got as far as shaw boulevard.. well then i took the bus and yes, i WAS late for english. but that's okay. i never bothered for english class anyway. i feel it's a waste of time. it's not as if i can't speak the language, i can, in fact, very well speak it. :)

then on the way home, i assumed everything was all fixed up (coz the damn thing already happened before).. but no, it wasn't. i had to take the bus home.. turns out it takes 2 and a half hours when traveling by bus from quezon city to SUCAT! golly gee. it was a good thing my mp3 player had fresh batteries and i was in a relatively jolly mood... so actually, it was quite enjoyable. just sitting.. DOING NOTHING for 2 and a half hours.. :P if you can believe. haay. anyway..

okay.. so more on today. today i had only one class. that's nat.sci from 8-10. dammit. i had to go all the way to school just to attend one class. howel. so on monday i only have english class and comp.sci.. then no more classes til friday. happy! it's an early sembreak! my sembreak's been extended by like 1 week! haha! really happy. well, i can't seem to make this entry as interesting and (according to cheka) "inspiring" as the previous one.. i'll just stop. haha! stop.

si lolo

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 10:32:34 +0000

i decided to take the bus home from the mrt station yesterday, instead of the usual shuttle that goes straight to bf. i dunno, i guess i was just too lazy to walk the fair distance. well anyway, i was on the bus when this lolo sat beside me and just smiled. it wasn't the scary stranger-smile that would often strike an everyday-commuter, it was one of those smiles that would remind you of the close-up commercial (which is supposedly an everyday thing). so then he starts lecturing on how hard life is these days, and how i have to just work hard and study extra well so that i could graduate and help my parents. it was a pleasant conversation (a bit one-sided though cause he was the only one doing the talking alangan naman kausapin ko eh di ko nga kilala). when we got off the bus at sucat he kept reminding me to take care (even gave me some commuter advice on where to ride the jeep..). then yun, he had to go the nearby 7-11 shop and i rode the jeep. well di ko maiwasan talaga mapa-smile ako sa jeep (mukang sira) coz it was really nice to think na may ganun pa palang tao sa pilipinas.. sa mundo. my mom always tells me to be paranoid and think everyone's a robber or something (better-safe-than-sorry mentality) but i really think otherwise. there are more good-hearted people than not-good-hearted people in the world. victims of street-crimes are only victims of circumstance, in the wrong place at the wrong time.. but that's just one person's opinion.

hai.. the sem's almost over. i could already get away with cutting all the rest of my classes till next week coz it'd be our last week for the sem.. but then again, i'd fail the finals and i'd have to repeat some stuff next sem.. i'm not that retarded.. :P so anyway.. i suddenly have the urge to like start-out-new and stuff.. that start-of-the-school-year feeling people get when they think they can try their best, do homework, study hard and stuff. well that's it. but i think that's just a feeling. palagi namang ganyan eh, tignan mo nangyari this sem.. haha! tanong na lang sa mga kaklase ko.. blah..

what do i have to say on:

politics: nada. i don't give a shit.

the state of the nation: well i do care about that.. but i really don't have a clue how this place's gonna fix itself up. pinas is beyond repair. let's all migrate.. like them ducks flying to the south.. it is winter.

friends: i love my friends. i love those who love me. i love those who haven't forgotten that i still exist.. i love those who keep in touch. i love those who make me feel that they're still there for me, coz i'm sure as hell there for them. oki? :)

school: nasabi ko na. oh and yeah, next sem i think i'm gonna join an org or something. para naman di ako totally WALANG GINAGAWA. yun lang

lovelife: ha! don't ask.

showbiz: a dirty game i'd never want to be an audience of. bahala na yung mga nauuto ng bwisit na showbiz na yan, lalo na pag dito sa pilipinas.. haha!:P

.. uh, la na eh.. yun lang. :) catcha next time! *mwah*
