last night was the xavier alumni homecoming celebraXSion...
save for meeting up with the old guys, it was somewhat boring so i left early after eating and getting some souvenirs...
i came upon a beautiful prayer in the calendar souvenir and its very inspiring... it goes like this

Dearest Lord,
Guide me
so that i may be a light to others
Help me to nurse the light in them;
no matter how small the flicker,
no matter how hard to find,
so that in time,
they themselves may discover
your light in them
and through their words
and their deeds,
they may let your light shine
in a world
in such great need of you
amen

birthday kanina ng pinsan ko... she's now 7 yrs old... yey!
im still old nonetheless... hahaha... naging makulit na sya, and she's now more than half my height...

mehn!!! ang tagal ko nang walang narecord sa blog
maybe boring lang talaga ang buhay ko these past few days
... except kahapon

Nov. 25 12++ pm Galleria
aldric, ck, jc, calvs, nj, denise, kia, and of cors me
hunting-hunting-hunting for a present

*first idea
- look in the joke shop
- look at the nasty figurines
- look at the dildos and other nasty toys
- listen to the freakin saleslady talk bullshit
- get irritated
- leave the shop

after a lunch at popeyes (after ck eating alot of chicken and after smelling fart at our table)
*second idea
- why not surprise sam and get her something sensible?
- how about a top that matches the nasty under the girls got for her?
- why not get her the men's boxers she wanted the last time we went out?

ok, we'll get her a couple of boxers!
looked around the men's dept.
bought the boxers
returned to the ateneo

4++ pm jc's house
a cute house which is peach on the outside
cozy in the inside

*jc's room
a rectangle
single bed
tv w/ ps2
"surround" sound system
alot of pictures
a few medals
several models of gundam
a pellet rifle
a bean bag

after playing ps2 for a couple of hours
jc took a shower
i took a shower
calvs came at around 6 30
played ps2 again for a few mins
left the house
ate a snack a mcdo

8++ pm Sam's party
tambay muna sa car ni jc kc konti palang yung tao
met camil and mary
met raven
grabbed some nachos
chatted around for awhile
dumating na rin sina ck, aldric, cara, regina, kia, and cam
started eating
started drinking
ate again and drank again a few times over
jeepney joyride started playing
i started feeling dizzy and lightheaded
blockmates went out for a walk
hinarangan ni kia( i think) yung car ni camil to prevent her from leaving
sam went out barefooted to coax us back in
started dancing
i felt even more dizzy
band ends
music is played instead
i rest for awhile
i drank water and felt better after, i can now think straight
somewhat surprised at the behavior of kia and reg
sat around for awhile
played with the icing of sam's cake
washed up
said goodbye to sam

sat around
rested
left to go home(jc's house)

hinatid si calvs
2 am
nakauwi na
changed clothes
watched mondo magic for awhile
tulog

6++ am
i woke up
visited the cr
slept again

7++ am
i woke up
jc woke up
ate breakfast
i left to go home

*note-to-self: drunk girls like kia and reg, are scary! hahahaha..

i already forgot how fun it was to play basketball
all the running
all the jumping
all the elbows hitting my head
all the shoulders ramming against my bod
all the sweat dripping off my forehead
all the friendly purely accidental violence involved
i missed all of this... after all, the knocks and bruises are half the fun
* i wanted to play sf to avoid the violence, but it seems that fate wants me to play pf
i wanted to go to the gym after i got home, but i ended up sleeping instead... tamad-tamad!



realize that true self is never found
life's just a collection of diff'rent mask
uncertainty now will forever hound
when will i know, where to go, who to ask?

haaaaaay!
3rd day na ng 2nd sem
but i feel as though ive been studying there forever
some things different, others, the same
after a long rest, im raring to go
i wonder what new ideas will i realize
and which old ones will i learn from
one thing's for sure
i will make this the best ever 2nd semester of my freshman year

our caroling practices are a lot of fun
though minsan may mga boring moments
the fun/funny scenes far outweigh these moments
nakaaaliw panoorin at pakinggan kami, and i believe a lot of people can testify to that

*must-not-forget-scene
ben: pagkumakanta kayo, para kayong mga angel...
cam: baka sirang plaka!
hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha..........

this ominous world, great fear it bringest
my place of dim light i'll depart no more
never expose the flame else it be gone
clenched with my heart to preserve and keep hold

what we have done for ourselves dies with us,
but what we have done for others remains

we make a living by what we get,
but we make a life by what we give

you don't see air
would you stop breathing?
you don't see God
would you stop believing?

whew! what a day

10++
i suspected that our little outing would be an all male party... i was wrong... one brave female soul came... SAM honored us males with her presence...
* at a certain point, i greatly admired sam... i couldn't believe how well she did in handling the antics of five guys for almost an entire day... truly courageous and praise-worthy

10 45
the gang's all here - except for calvs... hehe
we decided to spend the day at robinson's galleria
lunchtime : calvs arrived, i ate sisig
we watched a gory movie " Ab-normal Beauty"
it's not scary, just alot of blood and violence
mixed-up plot
no moral/lesson
fairly goodlooking actors
it's something everybody should NOT watch

after a little strolling
jc, calvs, and i bade farewell to the others and headed to the megamall coz jc wanted to buy some paint for his models... after a little more strolling and a bit of arcade... i separated with jc and calvs at the shaw mrt station and headed home...

ang aga ko sa skul today... im supposed to enroll at 11 am pa but nasa libe steps nako by 9 30... damn... " why is it that no matter how hard i try to be on time, i end up arriving early?"...
time passed slowly, i found alfred jao waiting sa steps... buti naman may company na ko for an hour or so...
10 30 came, since mabilis yun movement naka sit na ko sa waiting area... 11 ++ pinaakyat na kmi... i took Ch1, and since wala nang PE 101 - p, nag-basketball nalang ako... pila for awhile to pay, and then i got my ID sticker...
i finished everything by 11 30... i then met up with jc, denise, and janella, followed by the arrival of calvs and chris, to eat lunch at mcdo with us being transported by jc's car...
i had burger and ice cream... hinatid ni jc yun others pabalik sa ateneo and while naiwan ako sa loob ng car... in the journey to sm, kung saan ako bababain ni jc... we talked about alot of random stuff... anyway it was nice to let loose and just talk about stuff...
nababa ako sa sm, and after strolling a bit, i went home to sleep...

"back where i started, the enclosed square one,
t'least i jumped high enough to see beyond"

Grabe! dapat kong ayusin ang timing next time pagkuha ko ng grades... ang haba ng pila! nakakatamad maghintay outside buti nalang i met helen para naman may kausap ako while walking... hehe

mga 20 mins after nakuha ko na yung grades ko...
hahaha... nakakaaliw yung regcom girl na nag-hand sakin ng papel ko... ang tagal niyang tinitigan yung papel ko... kinabahan tuloy ako... but ako yung napatitig once i got my paper... hinahanap-hanap ko yung pinaghirapan kong c+ sa fil but i couldn't find it... ang bilis ng heartbeat ko, i couldn't believe what i was seeing... nang-gigil ako... but i had to control myself, afterall grades are there to evaluate my performance sa school...

then i found aldric, chris, and ck... and i waited for calvs with chris... nakaaaliw rin yung HUGE smile on the face of chris when she got her grades... haha

i met up with calvs and then tumambay kmi for a couple of hours sa mateo with chris, alden, reese, and pat... umalis na silang lahat sow nagsnack kmi ni calvs sa refurbished caf... dumating si amor and then naglaro kmi ng pusoy... almost instantaneously dumating na sina phish, ericka, and cam... nagtambay kmi sa mcdo for a couple of hours before finally deciding to crash dex's place... nanood kmi ng ilang horror flicks plus one mediocre movie called "Flight Plan"... sumabay kmi kay ericka til katipunan and then umuwi na ako after...

i left home at 2:55 pm, i arrived at gateway, 3:15
i didn't realize that 20 mins lang ang layo ng bhay ko sa gateway

i came early, waaaaaaaay too early!
time passes slowly, when you're alone
it's sad and lonely, but these are the times when i start talking/thinking to myself and evaluate how i've been... it's a way of reflecting i guess...

anyway
4:15 finally came
i saw ericka, calvs, cam, and amor get off from the escalator and i decided to make my presence known with a boo... hehe
from behind, ginulat ko si ericka and she started shrieking and laughing while grasping her heart... and maybe almost falling down... everybody stared at her... hahaha! malakas din yung palo niya sa arm ko!
we then met up with alden, and spent time in timezone
wala na kaming magawa after so we went to dexter's house para magtambay
*** the journey towards his house was a journey indeed!, siksikan sa MRT, and si ericka arriving at wierd poses inside alden's car, front seat beside cam! i think na stuck yun head nya sa gitna ng bubong, headrest, and window, imagine that! hahahaha....
nakabalik kmi ng katipunan at little over 7 pm, umalis na sina ericka and cam, and kumain kami sa shakey's ng mojos and ice cream! tumaas na yung price ng ice cream, from 90 to 99... im guessing that this is because of the evat... ow well...
umuwi na si amor
hinatid kming dalawa ni calvs ni alden sa gateway
nag-farewell kmi ni calvs and
i went home
