So this is how it feels like not to be having much classes yet on your 2nd semester of being a sophie, huh? :] Considering the fact that I have a 3 unit PolSci subject mentored by a horn dog guy professor ala Senator Mirriam Defensor Santiago; It kills to know that I've been looking forward politics nowadays. haha. That professor is nuts, I tell you!

Anyway, I got the link for this random fact generator from Catreenuh. Enjoy!

Good Morning's at 3pm, followed by lunch at 4. My body clock had seemed to shift ever since sembreak started. Whatever happened to sleep definitely being a blessing, contrary to our whines during school days.

So yeah, I'm at the midst of ecstasy not until I learned that school's pretty much nearing again. I only got 3-4 days left for me to relax, to unwind and to seize before being bombarded again by a pretty much heavier task this time, PHC-2. Oh crap. Humor has it, that our batch will be having our community service in Batangas this time. I just don't know how credible that statement was though. Just because it came from Mr. CC himself, doesn't mean its reliable enough to embrace anxiety. But who knows? I really hope Dean B would finally made up her mind regarding such, cause travelling from Cavite to Manila to Cavite and to Manila again (4 travelling in one day), would be frustrating for me cause I won't be staying in a dorm. Seriously, I don't wanna go back to school yet (who wanna by the way?), I'm not ready yet. I'm sure regrets will eventually pop next week as sleep taken for granted's the limelight for 3 weeks already.

Anyway a lot has happened recently and to tell you the truth, I really am not into my blogging hype nowadays. So just for the sake of posting, allow my random thoughts to flow through yours.

Recently, I've been reading my Phil. Lit textbook. Honestly, I've been missing that SOAB professor, Meal. It's really nice having him around. Through him I've enhanced my I heart literature awareness, thank you sir! And through him, oh I must add, the asshole in me rated itself 8 in a scale of 10. Getting a 1.75 from a SOAB like him felt like a privilege to think that most of my classmates got downright low low grades on him, and the highest so far is 1.5 if I'm not mistaken. Not bad, eh? Despite the fact that it's really low (let's face it), it still is something.

Shifting you away from my egotistic ranting, one of my favorites among various we've discussed was the very heartfelt Dead Stars by Paz Marquez Benitez. Another is the very clever Three Rats by Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero. And lastly, Breathe by Alessandra G.L. Gonzales.

"The trick is to keep breathing." He looked at me and smiled with his blue eyes and crooked teeth. I would see his face and sing his favorite Garbage song in my head long after he disappeared into the gale of people catching flights to who-knows-where."

I must tell you that Breathe doesn't really ranked to be one of the best stories I've read so far though, but there's something in it that makes it really special. The story is about two individuals from different sides of the world who've met, just like any other cyberpunks here (including myself, lol), well in the internet. Given two characters of different sex will already give you a clue of a cyberlove relationship, in which they've somehow decided to make it real by meeting each other personally. But just like any other unhappily ever after stories, both wasn't given a chance to continue their love affair due to race and geographical differences despite their love and effort of doing so. As a result, the only option left for them to do is well, just like in the Garbage's song, to keep breathing or to move on and continue living (just in case you still can't get it, no offense).

Dang there, what a post! Did you just see what I've written earlier? haha! I sounded like a total klutz! Well anyway, pardon me for being emotional there. I'm just having problems with myself ever since I got out of the hospital. I've been very very very moody ever since. I never thought I'll unearth my personal issues (course) here. It has been an issue of a lifetime for me, if you'll ask.



And I guess I'm back to my sane self now. Or so I thought?



ANYWAYS, I talked with Nat a while ago about my "sentiments" with my shifting courses. Don't I just miss the guy? He's been my HS friend and for the 411 people, he always know how much I wanted to be a CA student. Nostalgia man. He got the chance to follow his heart though, and I got left behind with my "nursing" career. haha! But it's alright, I told you I'm ok now. lol I just hope that he'll be successful in the future. As for me, I hope I'll be able to survive, what, everything?! haha! And oh, I also remember the times when we used to jam everyday in school. I rarely hold the guitar now. I miss highschool, I surprisingly missed them.


A lot has happened recently, and this is one of the worst I've ever been because I've missed a lot of requirements. On the bright side, this whole hospitalization scene has also done me good. I got the chance to relate all our lessons with the "real thing", haha! No really, it is just then that I've realized the connection in all the nursing process, NCP's, return demonstrations, blah blah. And I'm taking this as an advantage in our class, seriously. xp On the brighter side, I got the chance to bond with my HS friends, my family, my bf, and I got the chance to rediscover myself again. Lastly on the brightest side, I got all the rest I once wanted. Phew. :] I miss my college friends already. I can't wait to see them tomorrow. ;]



Can you just hear the happy tone of this post?
I told you I was PMSing. ;]


[EDIT 09/12/08]
I thought I was (PMSing, that is), but boy I'm not. xp
Read my latest post.

So glad to have a rest day today! And when I say rest day, I really do mean it. It's been a while since my sched wasn't filled with stuff that drains my brain cells out. Uh well, there is one though, but since I still don't have module 11, let's not talk about it here m'kay? Ahh, here comes the sun for people who don't have Monday classes like me. Wooters!~


i. atdogs

So yeah, we're (atdogs feat. Tots?: Yel, Jiah, Alenel, & Tots?) supposed to meet at Trinoma today. But since they all have their personal reasons on canceling such marvelous trip (haha), we'll have it next time around na lang; probably when Gel's here na from UK which is a mere month away. And by that, I hope Nel can still make it before going home to Dubai. Though impossible, I still hope we can ALL get together this year. :]

ii. teh game

You might have heard this over the news: FEU's star forward Mac Baracael was shot last Thursday in front of R.Papa's gym at around 9-ish in the evening. A lot of information was revealed to me by a senior player friend of mine, but I choose not to type away the details here anymore. Basta, the motive was to kill.

FEU rookie Robert Kave is feared to go back home in his hometown, Papua New Guinea because of the said incident. According to my friend who personally know Robert, his parents already sent him plane tickets upon knowing that Robert, together with Cabagnot, were the ones with Baracael during the incident. I really pity Robert cause he's such a good player on court. But despite everything, FEU Tamaraws still managed to beat UE Warriors last Saturday with a standing of 4-1 losing over LaSalle. Not bad, eh? :] As for ADMU, 5-0 is a woot! I'm still rooting for ADMU in the end.

||EDIT}}
Moving on, the much anticipated NCAA Season 84's 1st battle between Letran Knights & San Beda Red Lions will land on Wednesday at Cuneta Astrodome, 4:00pm onwards. I am both a fan of these two different teams. But even though everyone's rooting for SBC Red Lions (needless to say, everyone LOVES cussing Letran), my heart still belongs to the CSJL Knights. I can't wait to see if Letran will still remain undefeated (6-0) after its first encounter with San Beda (4-2) on Wednesday. How I wish I can still watch it live with my Zab sitting on the Patron seat without me! Hmmp. Damn PHC-1, I find no excuse on cutting classes. And to think that I'll be beside Cuneta Astrodome doing star floats and back strokes during the noon time, it crushes my heart to hear the drum beats and cheers echoing and reverberating over the place. huhu!

Anyway, Arriba Letran! And oh, I really really really wanna see Pong Escobal! If in case San Beda will win on Wednesday (I'm not saying that Letran is a sure win either, for moronic war freaks out there), its oh-so-alright with me. Anything for you, Pong. xp
||/EDIT}}

iii. Cinemalaya 2008

Haven't I told you, my dear Cinemalaya, that we'll meet again this year, yes? Yes. 2 weeks ago, some of my beloved HS friends and I have been planning to go to Cinemalaya supposedly after my RLE class where everyone of us are available. But due to the suspension of classes, to no avail, Zab and I spontaneously headed to CCP for the Cinemalaya screenings.

Torn between ShortsB and Boses, we choose to watch the 2nd group of short films which includes HULING BIKTIMA, MY PET, PANGGARIS, TRAILS OF WATER, & TUTOS. But since the tickets for the former were merely SOLD OUT, we have no choice but to watch the latter instead. And OMG, Boses is definitely lala-love. It's a very inspiring and heart-warming story concerning child abuse which made Loren Legarda, who's right behind us, laugh and sulk at the same time. We got lucky because the casts were there too. To think that Ricky Davao is in front of us and the writers were sitting beside us, we feel so privileged (haha, pathetic). And oh yeah, the mentor in the film really looks like Sir Angel, my Prof in History. They have a lot in common, I must say, from the looks to being effeminate, and to being STUBBORN. haha. I was really curious if he really is Sir Angel not until I saw his name in the credits part. My, they are each other's carbon copy, could you blame me?

Too bad I didn't get the chance to watch the other films. Anyway, I'm still looking forward to Cinemalaya 2009 and by that time, I wish, my schedule won't be as loaded as it is now. And oh yeah, I wish ABC 5 will screen last year's entry na cause I'm sick of watching Tulad ng Dati and Saan ba nagtatago si Happiness? over and over again. :P


iv. teh birthdays

The title, as it is. :P Here goes the bullet-ing (the odds of making it a gerrund). haha

• Athena's debut was celebrated July 19, two Saturdays ago, at the Orchard Golf and Country Club. On the same day, we nearly gone nuts because it was also our Prelim exams for History, Statistics, & Anatomy. By now, I hope everyone of you knows that almost all of my dismissal was set 9 in the evening. So yeah, I finished answering Anatomy at 8:30pm, and arrived home at around 9:30ish. Paved way at around 10, and arrived 10:30pm. I didn't get the chance to be at the 18 candles (which I was first in the list pa naman daw) cause I was late. But despite the busy sched, I still managed to be there for her, right? The effort man, the effort. :p haha To my lecture #3, Belated Happy Birthday to you. You're little tears of endearment shall be replaced with roaring tunes of Boy Elroy and *coughs* of course, the presence of me. Hmmmm?!?! We're two of no kind, my friend. Love you loves! :}
  

• It was my Father's 54th Birthday last Saturday. He just got back from La Carlota last Friday and actually, we really thought that he won't be home for his birthday. But anyway, since all of us have our classes/works on Saturday, we celebrated his birthday yesterday in Max's instead. I really love him so much, making me a Tatay's girl, really. Nowadays, I've noticed myself to be more family-oriented than I was before. But then, that's another story. I really hope God will guide us always. :]

• Nhil (Leonilee), bitch, will be celebrating her debut with her psychedelic motif this Sunday. She's been bugging me for weeks now, and I always tell her that I won't be able to attend her partaay. lol Her birthday is really supposed to be on Saturday, but since I have Anatomy class on Saturdays (9 pm dismissal again), she moved it to Sunday. She told me that I was the main reason why she did that, and since then, I've been pulling jokes on her. xp

v. life's a bitch for bong bong

I dunno if you're familiar with the Pasalubong store in the Visayas which is Bong Bong's. Well if you, by one day, traveled from let's say Bacolod to Manila; You'll notice that almost everyone you'll see have Bong Bong's boxes with them. This blue and green colored boxes consists mostly of the ever so famous piyayas, butterscotches, garlic sticks, otaps and other delicacies. Just recently, I heard in Bubble Gang Michael V's segment entitled, Sumbong Sumbong kay Bonggang Bonggang Bong-Bong. Now why am I telling you this? Actually I find no connection at all. It just reminds me of someone I used to hate, no scratch that --used to hate is an understatement, loathe is the better word. To that bitch, if you don't wanna be sumbong sumbong to bonggang bonggang bong bong, stop bitching na m'kay? We're sooo sick and tired of your crazy and annoying hubbubs.


vi. blogger zab

Ok so he's not the guy who's in for some serious blogging. But since his prof asked them to use all the HTML & CSS knowledge they've discussed, a blog is expected of them as project. I helped him of course with the coding, and he just modified it to make it look prettier (yuck, so bakla haha). So yeah, go visit his blog here. It'll probably be his first and last post. LMAO.

1:45 PM, I woke up in a Monday "afternoon" (if that's what you wanna call it). Contrary to MY waking up late, allow me to please say "Good Morning" to you still cause it wouldn't be realistic anymore for people coined as BAGONG GISING.




It's been a long time since I last saw the trees sway like this. And base from what I am seeing, I can say, that there is no doubt a typhoon ---or so I thought. See how ironic things are? Anyway, I just wanted to share a couple of things before I go.

This week had been a blast for me, I must say, because things weren't as boring as they were before. Yup-yup, I'm looking forward to each day as I wake up knowing that the word "routine" won't exist in my vocab for a while. So yeah, these are just some of the several things I would like to share with you. Catch up with my randomness, baby. And oh, skip the first one if you'll find it very offensive.

i. literature class

I really don't know where to start, but hey I'ma start right away, yes? :} Anyway, if you had been paying attention to my previous posts, you'll know that I have this SOAB lit professor who's ironically on the run for making and breaking the days of every student he encounters on his classes. Well if you have one who's always on the list for being regarded as the late bird (being late is an understatement, if there's such a word) you'll probably know what I mean.

If you'll ask me to elaborate it further, he'll be late for like 30 minutes and probably will he trace his red carpet directing to a table that says "Eject the f---ing professor!" just in time for us to complete the attendance sheet and call it a day. Sucks, much. But wait, there's more! After his grand-ee-yo entrance, he'll ramble on about everything offensive and bitch about everything taboo. He's pretty funny actually, considering his "DNA Shooter", as he coined it, he'll make us read a chapter of Giovanni Boccacio's Decameron where Rustico and Alibech's putting the devil in hell is the limelight of his bitching for the day. He'll even discuss xerex, barely legal, etc. in class and make fun of the horn dogs in our class, knowing that he belongs with them. haha, the joy!

But you know what? Despite his bitching, he always got a point and, its hard to say this , but he's always right (There! I've said it) putting us into shame and making us realize that, "hey, I'm such a prick for not seeing that". He'll remind us that everyone of us are hypocrites, just like everyone else. And it actually is a nice experience hearing his "words of wisdom and shiznits", but only if you have an open-mind though. Using form in his nonsensical blabs makes him a SOAB professional and an artist himself (making me want to shift back to my first choice of course) . I don't think my classmates will approve me for writing this (they don't see him as I do), but I'm definitely giving him four thumbs up as evaluation!



ii. swimming class

It's official, our actual swimming class just started last Friday on Pasay City Sports Complex. :} Uh, okaaay--we really haven't started yet on the swimming proper because we consumed almost all of the time changing and playing in the pool. But yeah, we have officially started our swimming class by default because we are there. :P

I really thought that swimming, as my PE, will be a medium for my self destructing but I was wrong pala. We got tired afterwards, sure as expected, but seriously, it's nothing compared to the experience that comes with the package labeled as PE3 in our course curriculum (now I'm gay-talking). To tell you, I never thought that swimming could be so easy and the fun part is, I could hardly believe hearing my heart, together with my hypothalamus, screaming the words "excited" and "giddy" upon seeing the pool. My professor, who looks exactly like GusGus in Cinderella because of her protruding teeth (no pun intended, I love her and I found GusGus very cute and loveable), make the class even more funner (i know there's such no word, im just emphazing on the fun part) with her wits, charms, sense of humor and her mother-like figure. :} I also love the way our swimsuit uniform fits me perfectly, although I prefer the black one with all the red lining instead of the black one with all the royal blue lining (color coding), but it still look good on me though, so yeah royal blue will do. lol

Hear ye as I say, I'm currently loving it, as of the moment. *confetti.confetti*


iii. schedule rants

I don't know if most of you are aware that I have a 12 to 1:30pm-9pm schedule for four days, (T,W, F, S) 7am-6pm for Thursdays, and no classes for Mondays, causing me to rewrite, more of remind, you guys of my oh-so-friendly schedule this semester.

As I was saying, most of you will probably see it in disgust. Considering the fact I'm from Cavite, a sub-urban of Manila; You'll probably think that I'm staying in a dorm just like everyone else, because according to you, Cavite is a very far away land from Manila and commuting back and forth is such a far-fetch thing to do --but it's not! Actually, I'm commuting myself everyday for 5 days, back and forth from Manila to Cavite just for school. Yes guys, I've been roaming around the streets of Manila in the wee hours and its dangerously fun, but not anymore for me cause I've already got use to it.

Believe it or not, I love my schedule now more than ever. I'm kinda expecting violent reactions to this so I'll do the soliloquies for you, "Love the schedule?! What's wrong with you Aileen Jacildo?!" I don't feel the need to defend myself here, but since I can feel you raging there, I'll do it na lang. Here goes the defending lol:

1. I'm a nocturne, I love the night, and I have insomnia. RATIONALE: I can have all the time for school works at night without even worrying getting up late the next day because my first class starts 12 or 1:30 pm.
2. No traffic, very self explanatory. I can just sit back and relax inside the van as it make its way home sweet home. Plus! It will only consume me 45min-1 hour getting home unlike before, 1 & 1/2-2 hours in the making.
   
3. No crowds. You don't expect huge crowds during the wee hours right? Well, except if you're clubbing or something.
4. Quiet and Solemn.
   
5. I feel less tired, I just don't know why.
6. I'm more focused with my studies. My sched screams "No Social Life", that explains it.
7. I'm more connected with my college friends than before, do the critical thinking. See #6.

And a whole lot more. Of course, I must say, that there are downs with my schedule too, but I won't burst the bubble myself, you know? lol.


Know what? I must end this post now before it beats the hell out of Mahabharata itself in terms of length. And oh, spare me 2 more whines before I go. 1.) I'm having a long weekend considering the fact that its Manila day on Tuesday, but I think everyone will also have a long weekend because of the storm. Boo! 2.) My father was able to get home safe from a business trip in Negros despite the cruelty of the storm, thank God.


That's it.

My I-want-to-blog enthusiasm suddenly turned into a gimme-something-to-blog-about disposition as I struggle with myself in choosing to write words to rave about just to fill the whole text area of the "Create Post" tab I once clicked. If you were to click the "Edit Posts" tab right next to it, you'll find two posts on draft waiting, just waiting, for me as if I'm their god who'll blow their main reason of being, raison d’etre.

Nowadays it seemed to me, that its as if I'm lost for words. Is there something wrong with me? Such phrase made me jumped into the most obvious conclusion, that maybe, there's really nothing interesting in me to blog about. Yes folks, I am the core of boredom, which made me jump into another conclusion that if you find me interesting enough to be your drug, then maybe, just maybe, you're as boring as I am, or worse.

I'm liking the idea now. :}

Now Playing:
More than Ok - Daydream Cycle

Today is such a happy day! So happy I could almost see rainbows aglow behind hills where a very VERY very petite girl, in pink, ought to rode her fairy-tairy bicycle with such glow in her eyes all because of the ugh, happiness she was feeling at that point of time. la la la~ (note: the girl ain't me, think picturesque) Seriously, what made me happy today?

So there, my today's favorite things. Time to go! *waves* ;]

Woke up at around 3:50am today and I must say that I'm not used to waking up this early nowadays. I admit my alarm rings at this point of time before (HAH! beat that!) because I have to get early all the time for my 7:30 am class. ANYWAYS I had this very wierd dream about the game, Super Mario brothers, because the casts were not Mario & Luigi but were my block mates instead. ha ha. I noticed that my dreams this April varies from the strangest to the most untouchable ones and by that, I always ended up laughing every time I woke up.

It rained today. Yup, it miraculously rained today and I was so relieved because of the super hot weather. I remember my boyfriend telling me that its been raining cats and dogs in their province last Sunday, how I envied him back then.

Hello, uh, stranger soldier?:
Lounging at the couch lazily as I watched Seinfeld, I reached for my phone because someone is calling. Knowing it was him (Zab), I answered it instantly without looking who the caller was. After exchanging a couple of hello's, I found out that it was not him so I hung up. I want to know who he is but I didn't made an effort to do so. He called again and I answered for the 2nd time. Our four minute conversation had led to a revelation that he is from Philippine Military Academy (PMA). He got my number from my friend, Basil, also from PMA. I then remembered Basil sending me a text intended for Chris ( the caller) which includes my number and some deets about me. Being a dork that he was, Basil apologize for sending my number. I told him its ok blah blah. So yeah if you're wondering if Chris and I were now texting, the answer is no. Yes he's nice and friendly but I'm not into entertaining "text mates, guy friends, special friends (name it)" while I'm currently into a relationship. So I guess that's it. ;]


note:
Read the title, events in this post happened yesterday. Upon writing this, Chris called. >.< *bobayifieldsforever, still.

Who could've known my love for writing resurrected on the 11th day of April, 2008?

Actually my alter-ego has been forcing me to write for months now, its just that time wouldn't allow me to do so (super thanks for my tedious write-ups last sem, it makes me more of a nursing student majoring in Filipino). Anyway, as I was surfing around the net last week, I found myself reading my friends' entries in LiveJournal making me want to write again.

And so, I logged on to my old blogger account to make this blog. Circumstances have brought me to conclude that you might now ask why not use my LiveJournal account instead? Its because I want everything to be fresh out of the box and to be honest with you, I really don't know how to modify my template there.Besides, I've been on hiatus for so long, its really hard keeping up with time. I really want an LJ-based blog because I think its way cooler there, but then I guess I don't have any choice other than making blogger my new blog provider. lol. Moving on, I've made a lot of modifications from codes that of detonatedlove♥'s (I have to give credit where credit is due) to give my blog a fresh clean look.

Kite flying day. My frustrations of flying a kite resurfaces whenever I passed by Quirino Grandstand upon going home from school. I feel sorry for myself because I haven't flown one in my entire life. But that doesn't stop me from dreaming!!! XD I'm still hoping for that day I'll be flying it with him (I've been nagging him for months now haha).
