Killing Time
Sunday, November 9, 2008

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!
  1. The word 'Kill' was invented by Ayee. Other words were 'Die', 'Beer', and 'What'.
  2. Ayee was once in a knife fight, and the knife lost.
  3. On her birthday, Ayee randomly selects one lucky child to be thrown into the sun.
  4. Everybody loves Raymond. Except Ayee.
  5. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Ayee pajamas.
  6. Ayee was originally offered the role as Frodo in Lord of the Rings. She declined because, "Only a pussy would need three movies to destroy a piece of jewelery."
  7. Bill Gates lives in constant fear that Ayee's PC will crash.
  8. Ayee invented black. In fact, she invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.
  9. The Bible was originally titled "Ayee and Friends"
  10. What was going through the minds of all of Ayee's victims before they died? Her shoe.

Questioning my Introspection
Thursday, October 30, 2008

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).

Regardless of how smooth everything is going; every relationship has its own flaws, they say. The trick is to keep breathing. How it makes me wonder. Will I be humming to the same tune in the end?

2nd --> Last ACAD ranting
Sunday, September 28, 2008

Sleep deprivation's a status quo. However, my load's been lightened by two steps somehow by surpassing Dante's 9th circle of hell. Sembreak's nearing, question is: Is it within my grasp?

Monday Grief No More
Monday, July 28, 2008

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.

Barely Visible Deep Thoughts
Monday, July 14, 2008

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.


Good Morning Star shine, the Earth says hello!
Is it raining in your side of the world too?


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.

  1. I've totally butchered my very 1st return demonstration on vital signs. Why? I caught myself a fever 2-3 days before my actual retdem, and the after shock is that I lost my voice. You wouldn't wanna know that in the draw lots, I've picked the paper saying number 1. *must not grit teeth* And I bet you know what happens to the firsts one in the group, eh? THEY'RE BEING LURED AS BAITS. My already miserable fate even got worse when the C.I. teases me about my already cranky voice. For the sake of being considerate, she didn't know that I've already lost it not until I've told her. Distracted as I am, I've encountered the state of being mentally blocked for the first time ever. But good thing for me cause I did well on hand washing, and luckily, I'd still passed Vital Signs.
  2. Prelims this week. Good God Gracious. How can I balance my time with all the loads I'm holding into? --plus the extracurricular activities (haha) I'm about to grasp this week (Don't fret Cinemalaya, we'll meet again this year).
  3. The Extras: Cinemalaya 2008, Athena's debut, after school shindigs, UAAP, NCAA and whatnots. Despite my lovely sched, I'll still make room for this lovies.
  4. Dead Stars by Paz Marquez Benitez saddens me so much. Its a very beautiful story, definitely a must read. It made me decipher Hungry Young Poets' Stars.
So all these years--since when?--He had been seeing the light of dead stars, long extinguished, yet seemingly still in their appointed places in the heavens.


It's going to be a ka-pow week for me again.

Too much reminders, as if I'm a loss. lol

The Aftermath
Sunday, June 22, 2008

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!

What are you gonna do, vandalize "Tang ina FEU!" inside the campus and draw little hearts underneath it to make it look pretty?!
-him provoking my blockmate


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.

SOAB
Sunday, June 15, 2008

My ever-so-cool SOAB lit professor told us to list 10 of the most dangerous things that we've always wanted to do as an assignment. Unsure of what I'm going to write (I have tons), I browse over the net and compile this 10 crazy suggestions (some modified and in no particular order). :]

  1. Bungee Jumping
  2. Wrestle a Grizzly Bear
  3. Go to a hairstlyist and say "Oh you decide"
  4. Bad mouth a professor
  5. Hold people hostage
  6. Jump off a cliff
  7. Figure out how to defy gravity (haha!)
  8. Disobey the Law
  9. Rob a Bank
  10. Bash the "Kimerald" fans.

Any more suggestions? ;]

Spare me
Saturday, May 31, 2008

We went to ATC a while ago to watch my brother's favorite, Indiana Jones. :}} haha. He's been eyeing on this film since day 1, but it is only now that he got the chance to watch it on screen. :P Becoming one his all-time favorites, he used to watch IJ series on tape/vhs/dvd all the time so I got to follow the movie as well. After that we did some sinful shopping, grabbing hold of that cute Mendrez shoes and a bright purple bag. :}

Yep, school's nearing and I can almost feel the pressure around me as I visualize the very thought of it. Lucky for me enough not to be studying in FEU-EAC cause Astro said that they'll be having their first day on Monday already -- Gag me. I'm gonna hate this week for sure because I'll be finally touching the responsibilities I purposely chose to untouch --1. Being off to Bambang (hear me as I pronounce it, "Bem-beng", yeah) to buy Medical equipments 2. Answering the 105 questions advance assignment for RLE 3. More Shopping (this, I love) 4. Buy my Funda & Anatomy book (My brother will do it for me cause I told my parents to persuade him to buy it for me, such spoiled brat in me, in me, in MEEEEEZZZZZ :P). As of MY staying in a dorm, my parents changed their decision, the culprit for my death, I supposed. /sob. Aaargh, I don't wanna end this summer yet.

I hate to say this, but I'll be saying my goodbyes to this blog for a while next next week. :[

It's a Nocturnal Way of Throwing Stones
Tuesday, May 27, 2008

2 more weeks to go and its hello hell for me. Arrgh! I must move now before procrastination strikes again. Seriously, I'm so pressured about a lot of things (eg. dorm, books, assignment, school) already. Since Dad's still in La Carlota, I'll be buying my "funda" book next week cause I don't have enough cash on hand which corresponds only to one thing, homework next week. Tsk, I'm sooo running out of time! Must move, must move, FAST!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I watched Howie Severino's I-Witness documentary entitled, "Ang Kwago ng Pahiyas (The Owl of the Pahiyas Festival)" yesterday and yes, I was moved. Lucbanins extravagance for rice saddens me so much because of the current "rice crisis" our mother land is facing. In addition to that, they celebrate Pahiyas in an overstated manner, that I don't even know if they are still doing it for a religion cause (the main reason by the way).
If it wasn't for the patron saints' parade, Howie stated, people/tourists won't even know the rationale behind celebrating Pahiyas.
What saddens me the most is when Pahiyas' home decorating champion, Roni "Pahiyas" Unlayao, grabbed hold of an owl (which comes with single week-old chick) for his Pahiyas gimmick to crush his contenders. The single week-old chick accidentally died because the attention seeked was long way overdue. In the end, a storm hit Lucban just in time for the final judgment, on which, causes all the kipings (the brightly colored rice wafer which takes time to be made) to just wilt and droop on the floor. Nature has its own way of punishing, eh?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zab & I went at Wendy's today to celebrate our 25th month.
Happy 2 years & 1 month "Beshie".
I love you very much!

Time Check, its 4:23 PM.
Friday, May 23, 2008

Imagine two lovers sitting on the grass waiting, just waiting, for the other one to make the first move --I'm this close to independence. Oh yeah, baby! Since I'll be having a "PM" schedule this semester, my parents finally give in and somewhat allow me to stay in a dorm. Sweet, eh? ;] I'm so excited! I can't wait to hear their final decision even though I've been telling myself lately not to fret cause I'll be staying in one soon (overconfidence huh? let's see) . heeee. But yes people, please pray for me still. No one knows what will come around. :}

Anyway, I received a group message yesterday from the institute. Here are the exact words.

ATTENTION 2ND YR AHSE STUDENTS:
Please log in at http://www.ahse2007.page.tl and click Related Learning Experience-Guide Questions for an advance assignment on Primary Health Care 1. This requirement should be submitted on the 1st RLE day. Use Fundamentals of Nursing, 8th Edition, vol. 1 & 2 and a checklist by Kozier & Erbs as textbook and reference. Start of classes will be on June 10. Pls. Disseminate this information for strict compliance. Thank you very much and GOD bless us all.

I was laughing upon reading this at first. But when it sunk in to me that we really are going to have an advance assignment, I was like WTF! Are you serious?! C'mon! Classes haven't started yet and for crying out loud, we haven't met any of the clinical instructors too! Curious much, I immediately opened our computer and visited the said site and holy cow, 105 HAPPY questions appalled me as I glued my eyes on the monitor. 105 easy and basic questions, sure. Pero naman, grabe naman yun dapat talaga handwritten! [bratty #1 spotted] gaaw. And besides, I don't have the books yet. [bratty #2 spotted] Kaya naman pala they give fliers na agad nung enrollment of the said books, where it can be found, costs, etc. Booo! This sucks! [bratty #3 spotted] Ok, I'm acting like a brat now. :}} haha! But seriously, it sink to me only now that I'll be facing hell this year. Sure, I know 2nd year is one of the crucial stages of nursing in our school. Sure, I know this year's going to be tough and all. I know that! Everyone said that especially the higher batches. But why oh why sink to me only now where I could've prepared for it long time ago? I think its because I'm just taking things lightly for now, and enjoying every little bit of what remains before torments came which, for me, is good actually, but mind you guys, once I set foot on sophomore life, I gonna be damn serious about it! Career na kung career, ang daming competitions tapos may battery exam pa,. eeeeckk!! Help me God! So yeah, watch me as I procrastinate now. lol

Moving on, bitch.

Tomorrow's gonna be the day that I'll be turning legal. It sucks because I can be sued now unlike before when I can still use the excuse of being minor. :P But c'mon, look into the bright side, I can bear the responsibility of saving our country from severe economic and political crisis by simply voting for the right person (it still depends though, they are all the same anyway, but at least I tried right?). On the brighter side, turning 18 claims wide array of benefits from which makes us either good or bad people. I mean, c'mon 18 is just a mere number if you're not mature enough to deal with being 18. Makes sense, right? Right!

Marren's Day & Enrollment
Wednesday, May 21, 2008

I'm back guys, and just like what I've promised, I'm gonna update you about: 1. Marren's Debut 2. Enrollment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marren's Debut

i. meeting time

Last saturday, we celebrated Marren's birthday in a private pool set in the heart of Pansol, Calamba, Laguna. The guests were composed of my college friends, Zab, her HS friends, & lots (when I say lots, i really mean A LOT) from the Matibag clan.

So there, the meeting place was set in a mini stop near our school. Since Zab & I still came from Cavite, we have to go to Manila at around 2:30 pm because the meeting time was on 4pm. Arriving at around 4:30 pm (nag food trip pa kasi kami sa LRT xp), I realized that's its going to be a boy's town again because the girls were composed only of Marren, Eliya, Marian & I. Anyways, we're off to Laguna at around 5pm and finally set foot there at around 7pm.

ii. programs, gatherings & whatnots

First things first--The venue is a not so large one, but it is enough to accommodate all of the guests. So yeah upon arrival, we're directed at once to our room (yep, one room for her college friends) for us to change, put our stuffs, etc. At that time, the guests were composed only of us & few of her relatives. But as the night deepens, visitors came one by one until the place is already jam packed. It took a while for us to adjust and be comfortable with the place. Anyways, we ate dinner afterwards and believe me, the foods were soooooo good, no scratch that, the foods were GREAT. Everyone of us is already full so we rested in our room for a while before hitting the pool but to our surprise, Marren had prepared a "surprise" program for her traditional 18's and whatnot. We then realized that the whole thing was a double celebration with her grandma, Umpe, who happens to celebrate her day on that day too. After the program, we finally got the chance to hit the pool and we're seriously freezing to death. lol But for some lame reasons, we decided to go rinse ourselves at around 12.

Kanya-kanyang trip na afterwards: may natulog, may nag-inuman, may nangulit, may nanampal XD etc. We're really laughing our asses of all the time especially when Fred got drunk sooo bad, he even hugged Leo, who is dozing off btw. :)) And oh, he even slapped Nikolas in the face!! hahaha! Birthday girl, Marren, also got tipsy that she even dived into the pool. :)) Seriously people, those who are drunk always do stupid things unconsciously. Good thing I don't drink that often, and yeah I didn't drink in Marren's debut. :) But hey, I'm no saint. I got drunk once too when I was in may HS sophomore years, and we did a lot of hell crazy things. :}} We tried to sleep every time but Bryan Del Norte & Kulas is always horse playing. :}} haha! I really can't sleep because: 1. I have insomnia 2. I'm with my Baby 3. Bryan is stupid. XD haha. But eventually, I've fallen asleep at around 5 in the morning.

iii. going home

Marren or I don't know who, woke us up at around 6 in the morning because its already time to call it a day. We had sooo much fun that weekend and I'm so happy because I got the chance to spend it with him. Its my first overnight, ever (excluding retreats, camps, etc.)! So yeah, we arrived in Manila at around 7:30 am and from there on, we started to part ways. Peter, Alex & Bryan David still had the guts to go to Charm's debut at Pampanga without sleeping. Leo, Marian & Eliya headed to LRT1 & 2 while Fred, Abel, Bryan Del Norte & Nikolas made their way to the overpass. Zab & I decided to have breakfast at Mcdo España because I was craving for cheeseburger, again, but ended up ordering Overload sa Jollibee (may accent to, promise. lol). Got home at around 10:30 am, and dozed until 6pm. What a day!


Enrollment

i. 05.19.08

The most awaited enrollment has finally arrived. Everyone in the institute prepared so long for this that I bet everyone's the early bird of being the early birds in our school. Everyone, excluding me. My overconfidence that time paved way for my 10pm arrival at school because I've already payed my tuition through BPI online a week ago, and so are some of my friends. While waiting for some of our friends who are still paying for their tuition fees, we hung out at the campus's food court while munching my Jumango, the flavors of their pick, and doing rounds and rounds of endless chitchats. We stayed there for 2 hours, and had lunch at Tropical Hut. When everyone's done enrolling their selves, we headed back to the Nursing Bldg for our schedule and as expected, long lines are still waiting for us. So we just sit our asses off and patiently waited for our turn. Some of us didn't even got the chance to get their schedules online at once because of the strict dress code (complete uniform, no nail polish/long nails for both male & female, black socks/proper hair cut/tucked polos for males, proper id laces, no hair colors/highlights, etc.).

As you can see, we have a tactic in getting schedules kasi. We have a list of student numbers & birthdays of our classmates so that if any sort of conflict occurs (like the block doesn't appear to other computers, one of us got late, etc) we can enroll them on our own. This tactic is not permitted so we had a hard time sneaking out. I mean yeah, getting schedules was like bidding in the stock market. Chaotic. We're all nervous & pressured because every thing's on a first come first serve basis. It's either you got it or you don't. So yeah, as I enrolled myself on A06A14, I told them to get A14 at once because it doesn't have a Monday class (I didn't even bother to scan the schedules & subjects because I focus on on a no Monday sched). So as I was enrolling Karlo, the AHSE president warned everyone of us, ALOUD, that enrolling our classmates is an offense. Of course, I don't care. :}} But when he said that he's serious and really meant what he said that we'll be brought to the dean if caught red-handed, I got scared. XD haha. I mean, the guy is serious man. lol. Abel and Eliya, still had the guts to enroll some of our classmates but to our surprise, the block is already full! WTF. C'mon! 5 minutes ago, the block still have 30 slots! I'm so guilt-stricken for not enrolling Marvs & Kulas. :[ Fred and Konrad didn't even got the chance to be a part of A14 too! :[ See you guys next sem. :[

After that we headed to the cashier to pay for our RLE uniform and shoes because we can't get our schedules printed if we haven't done so. And man, the line in NRH bldg. is 5-folds! So we decided to pay in the Admin Bldg. because paying in Arts Bldg. & EB is hopeless. We fall in line for like 3 hours, and the heels of my shoes are already scraped unevenly causing my knees to literally shake. The whole situation is really killing us! It's already 5 pm when we headed to NB for our body measurements which killed us too, because of the long line. We waited patiently only to find out that we have to go back the next day, at 8 am, for our shoe measurements & COR. Man, WTF! Went to Mcdo Morayta (cheeseburger & fries, finally) to eat. Tiring day.

ii. 05.20.08 (Cybill at 18)

Woke up at around 6:15 am, and I am soooo rushing but luckily, I arrived at school before 8 am (phew). Happy Birthday Cybill! She's so pissed because she don't want to spend her birthday in long lines of enrollment. Anyways, we got our shoe measurements and COR printed so fast that day. :} We're so happy because we didn't end up crying in long lines again. For the final procedure, we have to go to the clinic to schedule our medical check-up (a prerequisite for our PE3, swimming). But the stupid guard told us to pay for P110.00 first at the cashier for our x-ray before getting the schedule, so off we went to fall in line in the Admin Bldg. once more. I was wearing pumps then (because the shoes I'm wearing the day before was literally scraped off already) causing my feet to swell so bad because we stand there for like 2 hours! gaaaw. Everyone of us are already hallucinating, and its nearing lunch break. tsk! Then, one of our friends told us that getting schedules for the medical check-up was held in Pav1, not in the clinic! She also told us too that she didn't pay for P110.00 to get her check-up scheduled. Effing guard. grr. We went to Pav1, and get our schedules for less than 10 minutes. Grrr. So yeah, we still have to go back on May 29 for the check-up.

We went to Mcdo Morayta afterwards to have lunch but some immature bitches sang "Happy Birthday" in chorus upon seeing Cybill's bday cake, so we just went to Jollibee in Ever instead to celebrate Cybill's day. We had fun, filled our hungry stomachs, and laugh. Abel and I are still teasing Fred about the incident last sunday. haha! We part ways afterwards, but Croi, RI, Camz, Jhesan, Abel and I went to a dormitory near Mcdo and KFC in España to inquire. Dorm updates tomorrow. :P Went home afterwards and got home at around 4pm. Dozed off again, and woke up at around 8pm.

iii. The "Sched"

A very hectic schedule this semester, I'll be having 5 school days and one rest day (Monday). 4 days with a 9 pm dismissal. But hey, I only have one subject during Thursdays (9am-7pm). Got a 5 unit Anatomy class, and 7 units Health Care as my major. And oh, I also got a swimming class two times a week. Isn't that amazing? I'm so grateful, kill me now.

Rant Away

i. Y! behaving Badly

Just finished re-installing my Y!-fucking-M because a friend once told me to do so after telling her that I've been experiencing disconnection problems with it. Guess what? Disconnections kept on reoccurring still. arrgh. I dunno where the problem is rooted but the hell with Yahoo Messenger 9.0 Beta anyway. Good thing I don't log in often to this crap or else you don't wanna know.

ii. dorm issues

Anyway, I've been asked by my parents lately if I wanted to stay in a dorm (FINALLY!) because I told them that I'll probably be having a 9pm dismissal this year. I told them anyhow that it still depends on the schedule so the verdict will be cast on May19 which happens to be the 1st day of enrollment. My fingers remain crossed for days now. I really hope they'll allow me to stay in a dorm/apartment of some sort because commuting from Cavite to Manila everyday is really stressing me out.

iii. on letting go

I just deleted two of my oldest blogs. I've always wanted to delete those but I'm always having second thoughts every time I'm trying to do so. Deleting blogs were like letting go a part of your past on which, for me, is a very hard thing to do. I might regret it someday but hell thanks anyway because I did it today. So yeah, I'll kill the drama.
