Apparently, A Lot has Changed...

People do not change overnight. I've told you before, I am not gullible. I know a lot of things (except for the dates for our RC assignment), and most of the time, these things come in handy.

Its just sad to know that a friend would actually lie to you and hide things from you just for the sake of his own happiness. Selfish? I don't know. Maybe he is just finding Nirvana from all of these. But the fact that you trusted this person is enough to piss you off, right? Apparently, things have changed since the second semester started. One thing for sure, I'm telling you this, HINDI MAKITID ANG UTAK KO. I have the capacity to tell if something's up.

Siguro naman, I was well educated para hindi ako maging malisyosa, if thats what you call it. But that is what my eyes are witnessing and what I'm hearing. Deciphering is all that's left. Go figure. I bet you have the brain cells for it. I'm not angry. Actually, it's quite funny. It's funny how things change so fast. Now it's a living proof that CHANGE is CONSTANT. Call it cliche, I don't care. *Evil laugh*

What makes me angry? Another Coup d'etat led by Senator Trillanes and Teofisto Guingona has happened earlier today. Sikat na naman ang Pinas. Simultaneously, the events happening in Makati are live on BBC, CNN and all the other local channels covering the take over of the Manila Peninsula. Once again, this country proved to be one of the most controversial in terms of governance. Corruption is even bigger than the country's land measurements. When will all our problems end? It sickens me that the government will endanger the lives of innocent people for their last resort. I pity the Manila Peninsula management for the damages done by that stupid tank that found its way on the lobby of the hotel. And the mediamen? Tsk tsk. Kulit niyo kasi. Haha!

Curfew starts tonight (12am-5am). Marshall law? I hope not.

Ang liit mo. Pero mabagsik ka. Isa kang halimaw.

It's been quite awhile. I haven't been here for days... Everything is going back to its normal phase. I'm too lazy to write anything here tonight. I'll be back when I have something to say. (With sense, that is.)

I've seen you again. I've been trying to keep you out of my head but my heart says I can't. No more corona but a lot of grass though.

Lalala. Not.


Laziness overpowers me. It makes me think of the week that passed. It feels like I made no progress at all. Traffic still irritates me. Now it's even worst. How can you be stuck in traffic for almost 2 and a half hours? Its as if I came from the province or something. I was super late for a test in Bio and a lesson for Statistics. It's a good thing that our professor is a very considerate one and she let me take the test when I arrived fresh from QC. I took the test in the AB Faculty room. It felt weird since professors are going in and out.

***

I'm beggining to forget what Corona Boy looks like. We go to the same school, we are on the same building, we are on the same course and his classroom is one floor away from mine. I don't really know why I haven't seen him that much unlike before.

Truth is, I don't feel anything right now. Weird as it may seem, but yes, I want to focus on more important things. If you would ask me how my love life is, I would answer you with questions "What is love life anyway? Why is it so important to you people? and why do you keep pushing me to get into one?" I am happy without it. As of now maybe. I don't know.

I'm willing to get him out of my head. Pero kapag nakita ko siya, who knows what I'll feel next?

Tuesday, November 20, 2007

And they just don't give up that easily... Some people never quit.
(There's no connection with the title and the entry. The title is still about that work.)

I wish for a European trip... sooner or later maybe. I'll keep that in mind. Remind me when I turn 28. (I hope I would still be blogging by then.)




And our Las Vegas trip... someday! Our plan (Me, Me Ann and John) is to go to Las Vegas when we already have our jobs, probably jobs that will finance our luxurious life style when we get there. At least before we settle ourselves. Haha! Oh how I wish, all my dream trips would come true.

What's up, Octagon?
Please bear with the typos or the grammar. I'm to lazy to proofread.

What's up with the intriguing location in the 15th floor Octagon Centre Ortigas? I know where Octagon Centre is because I've been there several times before since my sister-in-law formerly works in Extelcom
and its office is located in Octagon Centre. My brother used to take me there whenever we would fetch her from work.

*This happened yesterday*

Well, to begin with, I just got home from shopping from The Block with my parents. Oh yeah, we ate at Banana Leaf. My dad was in the mood to actually eat at a great restaurant. Share ko lang.

Well, the story... I was minding my own business here at home, performing my usual Saturday routine. Meaning: facing the computer, doing nothing. Haha. The phone rang and my mom answered it. It's the same girl who called me on my cellphone a week ago (November 6 to be exact) offering me a part time "job" since I was recommended by a batchmate who's also working with them. But last week, I wasn't sure of it so I asked her to call me again so I could make up my mind. I thought she wouldn't call me back. But I was wrong.

My mom asked her several questions but she preferred to talk to me, according to her it was an important matter. She said she was an Executive from a company I've never heard of before and that they're expanding their multi-national company here in the Philippines and was looking for Junior Executives. (What the hell does Junior Execs. do anyway?)

I remember her voice, that very annoying voice who talks so fast, there were moments I don't get half of what she said. Haha. Since she talks so fast I wasn't able at first to remember the company she works for.
The first time she called, she asked me what school I go to. I said UST. Then what course. I said Communication Arts.

Then she asked me the same question again and it's weird because I remember her saying the words they've found my name in the UST database and even said that I was one of the recommended students by my university. It was already suspicious there and then since she just asked what school do I go to and then the next thing you know
she got my name from the UST database? There's an inconsistency with her chosen words. Ano ba talaga Ate? I must admit, it was kinda flattering at first. But when I finally fell on my senses I thought to myself, what the?! UST is giving away names and recommending me without me knowing it?

She asked me if I have three minutes of my precious precious time to talk, because she also has meeting after. (Is Saturday a work day? You must be one busy lady.) If she thinks I'm that gullible, well, I'm not. I didn't graduate as valedictorian during my grade school and as 2nd honorable mention in high school for nothing. Ang yabang! Now, I'm proud to say that I'm in the dean's list in my college. Yes, ang yabang talaga. Hahaha. But the point here is, if they think they can manipulate the minds of people, especially us students and luring us to be astounded with the sound of money, well, think again.

I must say that this girl was very persistent on settling a date to make me go to their office and discuss everything there. She was like hypnotizing me through the phone. (Hahaha! How can you hypnotize someone on the phone?) I was asking the usual questions when someone calls you and offers you a job.
"What am I really going to do? What did you say you're company was again?"
But she didn't clear all that. She said it would be better that I go to their office personally. What's weirder is that I wasn't looking for a job at all. There are actually thousands of graduates out there who are jobless right at this very moment and this company phoned me to work for them? I must be
one lucky kid.

So to get her out of my long and silky black hair, I said yes and settled for an appointment on Wednesday at 3:30 pm. She told me to come on a smart casual attire and just bring a valid id, without the need for resume. Soooo, am I already part of the company since I don't need to bring any resumes at all? She told me that when I get there, I should ask the guard for her. (Her name, I will not reveal, but I looked up her name in Friendster and voila! Turns out she's not an Executive of this so-called company, she just finished her schooling and is an Independent Distributor for Nu Skin Enterprises. Does this Ring-a-Bell? Right you are! This is definitely a Networking thing! I know a little about Networking since my sister was fooled too 6 years ago with Intra.)

Lastly, before I ended our conversation, I asked again what company she works for and she said it was Nu Skin Enterprises. Her last words were that, she expects me to be professional and not to cancel the appointment at the last minute since she would cancel her schedule from 3:30 onwards. Seems like I'm doing her the favor here? Hey, I'm a busy student too you know. I might go to the library on Wednesday on last notice. Who knows what assignments or research thingies our professors might give us? My education is still more important. :)

Since I'm already in front of my computer, I've googled down their company and found the good stuff - the company details.
(Good thing I have the God-given talent of being one-lean-mean-internet-searching-machine.) I thought it was some imaginary company but turns out it really is a multi national company and their products have good feedback from the people who use them. So there, I already know the company. But what exactly am I going to do there? I was curious. Yesterday my nosiness paid off. I've wanted to know more so I clicked and clicked and clicked until I found numerous sites that lead me to know how other people have the same experience as I did. The exact same experience. Natawa ako! So, that's why she didn't want to tell me things over the phone! There is always a catch. I knew it. It's too good to be true. I mean, c'mon! A part time job that offers a student 15-20k as compensation? I might as well stop studying since some company is offering that big salary. Watcha think? Dinaig ko pa ang mga sweldo ng ate at kuya ko nung nagsisimula pa lang sila noon.

These are some sites I stumbled upon. (Thanks to these people whom I do not even know but they also have the same experience as I did). The sources were provided by Mrs. Racoma:

After reading these entries, I sent a message to the person who called my cellphone a week ago and said:
"Hi, Ms. ***** ****, I've just googled your company and I'm sorry, I'm not interested. Please cancel Wednesday's appointment. Thank You."
She did not reply.

Basta ako, masaya ako sa buhay ko. Pakanta-kanta, paaral-aral, pasayaw-sayaw, palakwa-lakwacha. Haha. I just want to graduate, find a decent job, find my special someone (Nasan ka ba kasi? Haha!), provide my parents the treatment they deserve and be happy for the rest of my life. I don't really know what's behind this company and what they actually do for a living, but I don't want in. As of now, I'm happy being a student and still asking money from my parents. Time will come that I will look for work that will actually need my skills as a Communication Arts major. You be the judge people. I've already typed enough. Hehe!

Ang hirap 'pag may tinatago. Mahirap magkunwari na parang wala pero ang totoo meron naman. Kemen.

But this entry isn't about that. I just love an intriguing starter. Haha.

The other night, I finished reading the 5-volume Paradise Kiss, the first ever manga I've read in 18 years. I never really read mangas because I never really tried and I'm not that into animes. But Me Ann, being a great friend, introduced me to ParaKiss and I fell in love with it since the first book. A page turner. I can't stop reading when I started! I love the story and the whole concept. Paradise Kiss is about style, clothes, love, family and following your dreams all at the same time.



The only thing I didn't like about this series is the ending. How come George and Yukari didn't end up being together? There was no closure between them. To tell you the truth, after reaching the ending, I cried. Parang ang bigat sa pakiramdam. I was staring blankly while I was performing my night routine. Somehow, I was affected by the story. But it was good to know that Yukari went to the hands of Hiroyuki. He reminds me of someone - your typical prince charming who has everything a girl ever wanted in a guy. But if ever given the chance, I'd like to change to ending and make George and Yukari a real couple until the end. Call me cheesy, fine. Haha. But I really liked this story, I got carried away I guess. Kinikilig nga ako habang nagbabasa. I even wondered if someday, would I be able to meet a guy like George or even Hiroyuki? *Dreaming* I bow my head to the author (Ai Yazawa) of this series - for her wide range of imagination and for establishing the credibility of each character until the end.


Aww. Aren't they a perfect couple?

Questions ???

How come I can't make myself believe all that crap? Why can't I act normal? Haha. Why do I have so many questions? Why can't I just stop blabbering and start focusing on more important things? Why don't I like how things are going? How far am I going to stand this? What actions must be done? Where has the virtue of trust among people gone? It must have flown away. Why have I seen Corona Boy only once since the second semester started? Bakit ba kasi? And lastly, before I forget, why isn't he baldy anymore? Huhu.

It's unusual. Very unusual indeed.

These are just some questions running inside my mind right now. I'm just a mere human being with the innate inquisitive behavior. I cannot stop questioning unless I'm rendered with unambiguous answers. But I'm a girl who isn't easily satisfied with crappy answers. I like answers with complete solutions - include the graphs and charts, I will be needing that.

But the question here really is: How well do you know the mind of a human being? You think you know eh? Well, think again.

Seeing is believing...

or so as they say.

*Ano 'to, mumu?*

I may wear glasses but I'm not blind. And definitely, I'm not gullible. I know right? *Evil laugh. Hahaha.*

The Optimist and the Pessimist

A lot happened lately. Unexplainable yet seemingly understandable. Let me start with the party I attended last Saturday.

I was all glittery and fresh for my friend's (former high school classmate and now a co-Artlet) 18th birthday party somewhere in Makati. Click me for fichurs. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to ask permission from my dad (who was in Sudan that time). Or I didn't had intentions on asking permission from him? Haha. Not really. I thought that the approval of my mom was enough to get my self out of the house without any hassle but my instincts have proven me wrong. Muntik pa kong di makapunta. Mangiyak-iyak na ko. But my mom, whom I thank so much, asked my sister if one of her drivers could pick me up after the party. And without hesitations, everything went as planned. Well... err, I don't really have any plans that night. I didn't even know how will I be able to get home if it wasn't for my mom.

Point is. My mom and dad had always been the opposites. I guess that's why they ended up being happily married for almost 33 years now. Opposites attract, right? My mom was the optimist and my dad was always the pessimist. I really don't know where my dad gets his source of negativity on things. My mom, on the other hand, doesn't seem to look at life the way my dad does. She was always cool with everything I do, as long as I know my boundaries. But even though Dada is strict and all that, I still respect and look up to his ways of being a parent. I know he just wants the best for me and so as my mom. That's why I love them both :)

School Schmool

We've managed to meet all of our professors except for one (Statistics), for this semester. So far, three of them were the same faces and the rest were new.

Dreams do come true. Prof. Cielo is our instructor for Broadcast Comm. Hurray! At least my semester wouldn't go down the drain and the best part of being her student is we get to visit the finest television stations here in the Metro. I'm already starting to gear on that. *Excitement.*

I'm not sure on the other professors. I specifically worry about Psych. It feels like we are not worthy to be his students because of all his accomplishments at his tender age of 35. (Can you still call it tender when you're 35? Haha.) My brain cells definitely cannot compete with his since his are way above the standards of the average brain cell. Haha. *Joke lang. Hindi ko alam mga pinagsasabi ko.* Help me Lord finish his 3,000 word essay on time and another 3,000 word research paper that he wants us to submit. GULP. Oh yeah, bring 'em on! Hahaha. As of now, all I can say is that the rest are okay.

Sa totoo lang, tamad na ko magkwento sa mga propesor. I'm sure I'll be talking about school for the next five months so this serves as maybe an intro for the next chapters I will be writing.

Some things are meant to be
*Just like me & Corona Boy* weh?


I've recently learned that some things are meant to be kept. (Just like Me Ann's saying: "Jokes are meant to be.") Haha. Kidding aside, I perfectly understand. Sometimes we have to be private about stuff until we are ready to face our fear of everyone's reaction. I, myself, has secrets of my own. I don't want to talk about it anymore since they happened in the past. And the past has been part of my life, I've already wasted so many days and nights thinking about it and asked myself oh so many times why it happened. But there came a time that I just considered the fact that maybe God has reasons for letting that happen to me. He was right all along. I was happier with where I am and maybe if it wasn't for that certain "thing" that happened to me way back, I wouldn't probably had the chance to meet so many interesting and great people along the way.

But sometimes too, I can be very annoying. I am a curious kid, what can I say? I was born to know things I'm not suppose to know. Hahaha. But I respect that. Time can only tell. =) Just enjoy the moments and do everything without regrets so that you'll end up being happy and leaping with joy in your heart.

Limang Piso

Namulat ang aking mga mata na puno ng saya sa araw na sasalubong. Unti-unti kong inalala kung ano nga ba ang naramdaman ko nung unang araw ng ikalawang semestre nung nakaraang taon. Sa kasamaang palad, wala akong maalala. Ang tanging alam ko lang eh tanghali ang pasok namin non. Wala pa akong gaanong paki sa mga pangyayari noon. Kung tutuusin, nung isang taon, maituturing mo akong nene. Oo. Nene pagdating sa bagong lugar na ginagalawan ko at sa pagiging ignorante sa buhay kolehiyo. Pero ngayon, tila isa na akong beterana. OA man kung iisipin, pero hindi ko maikakaila na nadagdagan na ang mga kaalaman at karanasan ko sa buhay pagkaraan lamang ng isang taon. Bakas sa mga matang namulat ng pagkaaga-aga, ang galak sa kung ano man ang mayroon sa araw na ito.

Maraming pa akong chechebureche na ginawa bago ako bumaba upang mag-almusal. Akala mo kung saan pupunta, pero sa iskwelahan lang naman ang destinasyon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Siguro epekto na lang ito ng tatlong linggong pagpapahinga mula sa mga gawaing eskwela na kinasuklaman ko at naming magkakaklase ng husto. Ngunit ano ko ngayon, heto't hindi na makapag-intay upang may bagong kasuklaman at pagpuyatan para sa mga susunod na buwan. Salungat ito sa mga sinabi ko noong nakaraang buwan. Ganoon pala talaga ang tao no? Hindi mapirme, laging nangangati para maghanap ng mga bagong sakit sa ulo at mga bagong mairereklamo. Nakakatawa naman.

Umalis ako ng maaga sa bahay dala ang mga bagay na umiikot sa aking isipan na tila walang ayos. Kahit ano na lang basta lumutang lang ang wari.

Takte.

Hinarang na naman ang maliligaya kong diwa ng pesteng trapiko. Kailan ka ba mawawala ha? Siguro nga kailangan ko na lang tanggapin na parte na ng buhay ng bawat Pinoy ang buhay trapiko at pagka-irita habang naghihintay makarating sa kani-kanilang mga destinasyon. Nakakawalang gana.

Ipinukol ko ang aking pansin sa pakikinig ng mga kantang makakapagpakalma ng aking loob para lang maibsan ang pagkairita mula sa mga taong walang disiplina sa sarili. Kaya nga may Ped Xing eh. Doon ka kasi dapat tatawid. Eh anong ginagawa mo diyan? Bakit ba pilit kang nakikipagpatintero sa mga Pascual Liner at Don Mariano Transit? Hindi mo ba alam na walang sinasanto ang mga bus na yan? Patay kung patay. Haharang-harang ka kasi eh. Tsk.

Sa wakas, nakasakay na rin ako ng van patungong iskwelahan. Puro mga kapwa estudyante ang mga kasabay ko. Iba-ibang uniporme, pero iisa lang ang layon - ang hindi malate sa klase. Aba, at napwesto pa ako sa bandang unahan. Nilabas ko ang mahiwaga kong pitaka at tila wala akong natagpuang baryang bente-singko. Meron akong singkwenta at bente, pero walang limang piso. Tanging sampung pisong barya na parang peke ang tunog kapag nalaglag sa sahig ang mayroon ako. Kaya nilabas ko ang bente at sampung pisong barya. Inabot ko ito sa mamang drayber at nakinig ako muli ng musika. Nagsimulang maglakbay ang aking imahinasyon. Marami akong naisip na mga bagay-bagay.

Makikita ko kaya si Corona Boy ngayon? Sinu-sino kaya ang magiging mga propesor namin? Nako, sana naman mababait sila. Eh saan kaya ang magandang pwesto sa silid-aralan? Gusto ko doon malapit sa aircon para malamig. Sulit ang pag-upo at pakikinig. Malamang si Papa nasa klasrum na ngayon. Teka, wala akong pagkaing dala. Nako. Magugutom ako mamaya nito. Kaawa-awa naman ako. Kahabag-habag na bata. Haaay...
Dahil naaliw ako sa paglalakbay ng aking diwa, hindi ko napansin na malapit na pala ako sa iskwela. Ayan na. Tsk. Nakaka-asar naman tong tigil-ilaw (stoplight), si John nagmungkahi ng salitang tigil-ilaw. Magaling, hindi ko rin alam anong tagalog ng stoplight. Sorry na. Bakit ba kasi ang bilis mong maging pula? Wala pa ngang isang minutong luntian, pula na naman!

Una akong bumaba. Nilisan ko na ang paglalakbay-diwa dahil alam kong balik na naman sa realidad ang mundo ko. Tumigil ako doon sa may Alumni Walk upang hanapin ang ID ko para di na ko maghahagilap pagdating sa aming sinaunang-panahon na gusali nang may bigla akong naalala. Hindi ko pala nakuha ang limang piso kong sukli. Magaling Meng. At kailan pa ako nagkaroon ng memory gap? Siguro dahil sa dami ng bagay na umikot sa isip ko, hindi ko na naalala pang bawiin ang dapat ay sa akin - ang limang piso ko. Aba, oo. Limang piso lang iyon. Barya lang para sa iba o para sayo, sa taong nagbabasa nito. Pero sa hirap ng panahon ngayon, hindi basta basta ang limang pisong barya. Karamihan sa mga kapwa ko Pilipino ngayon ay laking kaligayahan ang natatamo makasalat lang ng kahit na piso man lamang. Sira ulong manong yon ah. Hindi na pinaalala yung sukli ko. O baka hindi nya nakita na sampu pala ang binigay ko? Imposible. Maririnig mo naman ang tila pekeng tunog na kalansing non kapag nilapag mo ito. Bahala nga siya. Kanya na yon. Tutal malapit na pasko.

Sa kabuuan, marami pa rin tumatakbo sa isipan ko ngayon. Masaya ang unang araw ng ikalawang semestre para sa taong ito. Pamilyar na mga mukha ang nagisnan ng mga matang namulat. Mga matang tiyak na marami pang matatanaw sa mga darating na panahon.

Is it really true? Haha. Are Batman and Robin gay?




I found this video in YouTube to support the gayness. Haha. Let Maritess reveal it all!

It was a big joke to actually go to school yesterday for PE. Stupid. Sabi kasi sa akin, regular schedule will apply. If your PE is on Monday, come on Monday. Unfortunately, PE classes doesn't start until today. So to compensate our coming for school for nothing, we just went to the Block. Thank heavens for the ever-so-yummy Royal Milk Tea at Bubble tea and their wonderful meals, I didn't just went out of the house for nothing. It was nice to talk with John and Me Ann again. Haha. We haven't done that for 3 weeks due to the semestral break and John just came back from China.

What's better? Tomorrow would be the start of another bloody semester. Me Ann said "Nako, umpisa na naman ng puyat!" and John said "Ang tanong: matutulog pa ba tayo?" Great question indeed.

***

I do hope I would find the time to blog once this semester starts. I'm looking forward to more adventures this sem and more Canon and Sony moments. I don't know what else to write. Excitement overpowers me.

Before Anything Else...

It's quite amusing that somehow things are becoming normal again. Okay, not really. But I'm trying to put back things to the way they were. Wait. Am I suppose to be the one to put things into order? No! I'm supposed to keep myself shut and the one watching how things turn back into the old days. But that isn't going to happen, I can feel it.

I'm just happy that are still great stuff to talk about, to be happy about and a number of things to look forward to. (And that includes BroadQuest, Christmas, New Year and my Birthday this coming January.) Haha. The Sophomore BroadQuest is in less than 2 weeks and we haven't started shooting yet since we were just formally informed of what we are going to do earlier today. I do hope our concept will push through.


Good luck blockmates! Kaya natin 'to.

***

I'm really exhausted right now because of Hand Ball. Besides the fact that we have to wear a tiny piece of cloth for a short, the scorching heat of the sun made us suffer while running and dribbling and performing our running jump shot. It was so excruciating and that I was complaining for water breaks more often than I was throwing the ball in the net. It was extreme happiness to know when the clock strikes 3 - uwian na! Thank God it's over. A lot more meetings to attend, after all, this is our last PE. Better make it one hell of an experience.

Friday, November 02, 2007

I was into black and white shots awhile ago. So here are the results. =p

CYLE CUTE

CALE POGI

haha. weird.

syempre ako din meron

The Motivation to Write.

Man, I've noticed that almost every person has a blog. :) At least people are beginning to express themselves and love the art of writing. Sometimes, when I read other people's blogs, even the ones I don't know, I get the motivation to write on my blog. A good influence I guess.

I'm bored to death here at home. It sucks when you have no more money to spend on mindless stuff. Our block has been planning on going out together, but nobody really initiated the whole event so we ended up with no out of town. Rawr. I wish I could've initiated but it's already too late. Some of my block mates are probably with their families having their vacation in their respective provinces right now. I was too preoccupied with the 1st two weeks of the semestral break -barkada lakads. I think it's just fair since we don't get to see each other everyday unlike our high school days.
***
nyaha. bagong bili na splitter.Since I'm bored and I don't know if my uniform will fit me when class begins next week due to pigging out moments, I thank the world wide web and the glory having DSL for keeping me company during those times that I don't know what to do with my time. What will I do without you? It would be so hard to "delete" using the computer from my daily routine. Ever since I got addicted to the internet during my 5th grade, my schedule always included "internet usage" (dial-up pa lang kame noon). Seems like that a day is incomplete without checking updates on my YM, Friendster and Multiply. What a big comfort and ease with you by my side (internet). Hahaha. Don't ever leave me. *adik*

***

The other day, we finally received the Balikbayan box that my Uncle Jun sent us. The twins received a scooter. I wonder what was like to ride that thing. Poor me. I never even had the chance to learn to ride a bike. Loser. My nephews heard me and asked "Bakit Tita Memeng? Ang laki laki mo na, di ka marunong mag-ride ng bike?" And I said bitterly, "It's because I wasn't allowed!" (with emphasis sa allowed) looking with sarcasm at my mom. She just smiled and said "Ganon talaga, kesa naman lage kang may sugat!" Haha. She has a point. Moms always have points. Tss. That's why they're called MOMS. As a kid, I never really went outside of the house to play due to the dangers and germs I might caught. Haha! I wasn't even allowed to eat street foods. Up to now, I still carry that with me. I never really attempted to eat kwek-kwek or fishball being sold in the streets. I was afraid to try because I was thinking about the things my mom told me from eating them and the disease they might carry. (My mom was a supposed nurse, but my dad didn't let her work. You know, to take care of us - the kids.)


CK1No more trying my luck to charge my laptop! My uncle sent me a new charger and extension too. And now I even got my CK1 perfume which I asked for months now. Me so happy.

I'm really excited about school next week and it's weird because I always wish that school's canceled whenever I'm at school. Haha. Siguro I just miss the cramming, the quizzes, the pressure, and the words: "Meng sabihin mo next meeting na lang quiz, di tayo prepared!"
