relax

Wow, at last i had a peaceful and sound 12-hr sleep after a week of staying up late to study for two exams and to do my paper.

Yesterday, I cleaned up my room since the floor was full of clutter and there was barely any space left to walk on. Mama also gave us a new rack for our clothes so I spent most of the day rearranging my room and organizing our clothes, shoes, and bags. After fixing everything up, I was very pleased, I realized that we had so much stuff, especially shoes. I dozed off after cleaning up and it felt so nice to finally sleep in a tidy room and on a bed that had very clean sheets.

Last Friday, I watched Mutya ng NIP with some of my high school friends after an excruciating ChE 123 exam. When I entered the building, it felt rather unusual , I expected a lot of people to be running about and preparing and stuff. But instead, it was quiet, as if it was just an ordinary day. When I went into the room of the program, I was a bit surprised because it was very...should I say "intimate"? It was a very small scale version of Ms. Engg. There were only five contestants from the different laboratories, and their preparation was really....hmmm...humble compared to that of engineering orgs. Oh well, what can I expect, their population was very small compared to our college and the event only involved one department. Anyway, I just enjoyed the show. The question and answer portion was very entertaining, the judges were asking very absurd questions like "Bakit mabuti ang may buhok sa kilikili?" and "Ano gagawin mo kapag meron ka at nag-cause ito ng matinding pamumuo ng dugo o blood clot?". The contestants were so witty and funny, especially pocahontas who, when asked what she/he would do as a princess in case a tsunami hit her kingdom answered, "Kasi naman, pag may tsunami ay wala ka na talagang magagawa, kaya ako, tatakbo na lang ako!" with matching actions pa!. Though she/he was the most unfortunate-looking among the contestants, her charm, wit and promiscuity won her/him the title.

After the program we went to katips to have dinner. We were supposed to eat in an Asian resto but it was closing when we arrived, so we just settled for Shakey's. I was really disappointed coz I realized that the resto we passed on was Tajma, the one featured in F and it supposedly had a moroccan smoke, something like a cigarette but actually wasn't. I think was called huka or something that sounded like that. Anyway, we had a great time like we always do whenever we go out, reminiscing, talking about the latest in each other's lives and laughing our hearts out.

I was supposed to hitch a ride home with my friend. But we finished at around a little past midnight, so I just decided to sleep at her house coz it was her parents who picked her up, not the driver, and it would be dyahe to ask them to bring me home that late. We stayed up until three just talking about...stuff, hehe. They dropped me off at my house the next morning.

Hmmm... I don't have a profound ending sentence so...wala lang, yun lang.

bangag

Hanlufet, ngayon pa talaga ako inatake ng migraine with matching sore throat. Kahapon nabinat ako kaya hindi ako nakaaral ng maayos para sa exam kaninang umaga. Me insomnia rin ata ako lately e, pag matutulog na ako feeling ko antok na antok na ako pero bumibilang ako ng oras bago makatulog tapos yung tulog ko yung tipong parang half-awake pa rin, ang panget, at ang OA sa aga ko pa magising. Kanina ngangumaaga nagising ako ng 4, que horror! Pumasok na lang ako ng maaga para mag-aral. Kanina rin maaga akong umuwi at natulog ako agad kasi parang mabibiyak na ang ulo ko. At eto ako ngayon, bangag pa rin. Haay, kelangan pa mag-aral para sa exam bukas, banas talaga.

TV

Wow, this is my third time to make a post today, though yung dalawa just came from online quizzes. I watched Indecent Proposal earlier and honestly, I was a bit disappointed coz it was not as indecent as I expected, hehe. Pinaunahan pa kasi ako ni ate e, sabi niya "Bold yan." So I waited for something really obscene to happen. Pero to my utter dismay, it just merely had some love scenes that weren't that scandalous and could have been better. Hehe, parang ang manyak tuloy ng tunog ko noh? Well, it's not my fault that it had such a suggestive title. I watched pa Passion of Mind, it had a very interesting and creepy plot. Demi had a rare case of MPD wherein you'll feel you're living two lives, parang when she sleeps in her other life, she wakes up in another entirely different but seems equally real life. So, in effect, it's as if she's awake 24/7. Astig nga e, what if wala kang gustong i-give-up na version ng buhay mo, baka masira na utak mo nun. Hindi ko lang siya natapos kasi may hinihintay ako kaya hindi ko nalaman kung alin yung totoo.

Anyway, enough of Demi Moore. After a few weeks of waiting in vain for a new episode of Gilmore Girls, sa wakas, hindi na replay yung kanina. It was partly about journalism, kaya nga na-inspire ako mag-update, though this a farcry from Rory's well thought of articles. Ayun, tapos back to work na, kelangan na ituloy ang paper na nakkaatamad talagang gawin.

Sige na nga...

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly. Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful. You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person. With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

What's Your Element?

Ano bang kanta ito? Parang mukha pang mga penguin yung mga singers. pero nakakatuwa din naman yung result.

1985 by Bowling for Soup

"Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin? And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen? When did reality become T.V.? What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows?" You took the bitter with the sweet in 2004 - and kept laughing.

What 2004 Hit Song Are You?

Suntok sa Buwan

Kakaiba, bigla akong na-depress kanina. Bakit tuwing Friday night ang lungkot ng hangin kapag naglalakad ako pauwi. Hindi ko talaga maintindihan, pero nalulungkot talaga ako. Well it's really not just a feeling of sadness, but more like emptiness. Sabi nung teacher namin sa hum kanina, the more knowledge you attain, the more sorrowful you become, ibig sabihin ba tumalino ako? Hehe, asa pa. Pero medyo naniniwala din ako dun, na ignorance is bliss. Hay, siguro kung mabaliw ka dahil sa sobrang saya, nirvana talaga yun. Alam mo yun, dahil baliw ka, masaya ka na palagi, you won't ever give a damn anymore about the things that happen outside your crazy little world. Here I go again, babbling on and on about my twisted ideas, nahahawa na ata ko dun sa teacher ko e, ang daldal niya kasi, pero unlike me, his ideas sound so philosophically intense while mine just seem plain stupid. What to do, what to do... Actually madami, hindi ko pa nga natatapos basahin yung binabasa kong nobela, kasi lagi na lang akong late umuwi at computer kaagad ang kaharap ko, tulad ngayon. Nakakainis nga e, maganda yung libro,pero the bulb of the reading lamp that I'm using got busted, ang hirap tuloy magbasa, ang liit kasi ng font.

Tatapusin ko na lang ang entry na ito sa pamamagitan ng lyrics ng suntok sa buwan, para me malagay ako sa title, wala na naman kasing sense pinagsusulat ko e. Pero ang ganda kasi ng lyrics, kanina ko lang nagets...

Hindi mo ba alam
Damdamin ko'y pinagtakpan
Makasama ka'y suntok sa buwan

'Di mo nga alam
Mundo mo nga'y iyong tignan
Kung ganyan, walang pupuntahan

Hindi ko 'to gusto
Pero 'wag kang lalayo

Itanong mo sa akin
At tatanungin ko rin
Kung ika'y aamin
Lahat ay gagawin

'Di mo napapansin
Kailangan mo akong dinggin
'Di habang buhay ika'y aantayin

Ito'y aking hiling
At sana naman ay tanggapin
Ng puso ko'y 'di nabibitin

Haaay...

paper paper paper

Putek, intro pa nga lang nahihirapan na akong gumawa e. Nakakatamad, grabe, lalo na kung napakadaming distractions! Pero kelangan ko magawa at least a quarter of my paper, para hindi naman ako masyadong mapraning later. wala lang, yun lang, delaying tactic.

blah part 2

Hehe, wala lang. Feel ko lang ulit magsulat kahit wala naman nangyaring importante. Ang pangit pala pag taglish ang entry mo, ang konyong trying hard ng dating, parang yung huli kong entry. Natawa ako nung binasa ko siya kanina. Ang weird, hindi ko maintindihan ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, para akong masayang hindi, kuntento pero marami pa ring gusto, busy pero hindi naman talaga, sa utak lang ang pagka-busy, sinisipag pero tinatamad, naghihintay pero hindi alam kung ano'ng hinihintay, nanonood ng tv pero ang isip nasa ibang eksena. Kakaiba, yun lang.

blah

Ang hirap naman magpaka-profound kapag hindi ka depressed, wala tuloy ako masulat. Ililista ko na lang ang mga nasasaisip ko:

1. My sister moved out na so akin na yung kwarto pag weekdays.
2. Sana hindi na ako masyado managinip ng mga events which resemble the end of the world, I usually cry in my sleep whenever I experience that e.
3. Sana magawa kong mag-lose ng 10 pounds.
4. Bakit ba wala pa ring stipends?!
5. I give up, wala na talaga akong masulat.
