whatta weekend!
yesterday...
we were required to watch a certain movie called perfume nightmare
ako si kidlat tahimik... watever
the movie wasn't exactly entertaining for people our age
i just cant relate to the character
i spent the entire movie seated next to my homework buddy, yeah boi!
but all good things come to an end
i had to go home and prepare for the family dinner coz its the chinese new year
daming food! all of it chinese dishes... why not japanese dishes for a change?

waw! friday na naman...
sometimes i feel that time is sow slow, pero ngayon, parang ang bilis
i didn't notice it, but malapit na palang matapos yung freshman year ko
one-half sem nalang...

ang sama ng pakiramdam ko kaninang umaga pagkagising ko
ang tamlay ko... na exhaust yun energy ko
as usual.. maaga ko sa skul kaya i got i chance to take a long nap...
i closed my eyes at around 6:30 pagkagising ko, ang ingay na ng caf 7:10 na pala...
na refresh ako ng nap... i was able to move a little looser, but i still got twinges of muscle pain once in a while kanina... i blame it on my unfaltering dedication to speed's basketball team... hehehe

nanlibre si cara kanina coz its her birthday tomorrow...
sa shakey's kami... wow! ang dami, namin almost the entire block was there
'twas truly a sight to behold, minsan ko lang kase makita yun ibang blockmates ko

we were supposed to have a drink sa cantina, but unfortunately, di na raw sila nagseserve ng drinks in the afternoon... sow jc and i headed towards the train station... i went home na...
i wanted to rest and relax...

here i am now, thinking kung anung plans ko for tomorrow...
at 2 pm, manonood ako ng Perfume Nightmare, with my english block, yeah boi!...
ang ganda ng title eh... parang horror flick... sana naman hindi nakakatakot or depressing... then again pag nakakatakot... (ehehehe)

whatta nice week i had
it wasn't all that great, pero wala pa rin si mam lozania kaya pleasant ang mood ko

-3 lang ako sa math midterms... pwede na
at least im not ruining all my classes
nanalo kami ng basketball soac na soac yesterday... woohoo!
dammit every muscle in my body ached... grabe 1-7 pm ako sa covered courts just playing and practicing around yesterday... i think i overdid the exercise...
thank god for sleep

Friday Jan. 20
When I first saw her, my body lost strength
When I first saw her smile, questioned was I
Felt like sitting next to her, at arm’s length
She was so beautiful, could that be why?

Way before going inside the araneta coliseum for the backstreet boys show at around 6
i saw someone...

i felt
excitement
joy
in a way "high"

but at the same time
lowliness
insignificance
fear
anxiety
curiosity
pain

Enough of that...
After waiting for 3 hours, things started looking up.
the show finally started!
mehn! calvs and i were screaming like fanatics!
shet! what can i say?!
ive always liked boybands, and their songs
ah basta! for almost two hours
i felt a surge of energy, and after so long, i forgot about all my troubles and genuinely had fun.
they sang a lot of old favorites, and included some songs from their most recent cd.
wow! what an experience!

now that im home... my throat hurts
and my voice is croaky...

Failure!
for the nth time,
Failure!
hehehe...

what can i say?
i came in early this morning as usual
what did i do?
buti nalang maaga rin si denise, may company na ko at least for an hour
nung umalis sya, natulog na lang ako sa libe...
and then nung hindi na ko makatulog, tambay ako sa speed until fil time...

after fil...
kain sa usual place, and then tambay sa speed..
i read the first few pages of Chicken soup and it brightened up my day... ang funny ng mga stories...

yellow cab...
Happy Birthday Kia!
nanlibre sya ng pizza...
nabusog ako dun...

after everything before the basketball game...
sinamahan ko muna sa chris hanggang sinundo sya
and then tambay uli sa speed till game time

basketball
im sorry speed peeps... we lost
we were simply outclassed in that game

grabe!!!!!!
kala ko madali lang yun practice problems sa math
damn #2 problem! it took supreme effort, and after 1 hour, 4 bond papers of tedious work and calculations! nagawa ko! shet! napaka-fulfilling! wahahaha one problem LT practice! the freakin problem had eleven variables!
mehn im drained!

i thought of a poem that's a tribute to one of my favorite songs:

Incomplete

i love

after all the observations,
after all that analyzing,
after all the concentration and deep thoughts,
why didn't i see it?!
how could such premeditated actions fail so miserably?
anyway...

chem LT kanina...
it wasn't that difficult, so i think i did well...

instead of going to area today,
i went out with c1 guys to eastwood,
unfortunately, naiwan namin si calvs... i kept telling them to wait, but no one would listen...
why is everything sow wrong with me today?
is it one of those days?
i was in no mood to play with kids today, but i had some fun in eastwood nonetheless
i ate lasagna for lunch
then tambay na sa arcade
sang some songs and played the hand dance thingy
balik sa skul, got my math stuff
and then went home with calvs
i wonder what next week has in store for me?

whew! a wednesday
half of the week has already gone by... and still...

nakaiinis talaga yung english teacher namin... but i wont blame her, ganun lang talaga siguro si mam... ang hirap lang talaga mag-adapt to her methods... cant blame us students either... utterly boring yung style nya, and she has the excitement of a television... kapag brownout...

on the other hand... i love my lit classes! i take everything i said about my lit teacher last sem... sobrang enlightening yung classes ni doc lulu, i totally appreciate literature now because of her. i have started to look even deeper, to see the true beauty of the written word. aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! super duper fun ng lit ngayon!

chem is starting to get scary now... ive a gut feeling of impeding difficulties... lalo nang may long test kami on friday... jeez, i better prepare... maybe tomorrow... hehehe

lunch was conducted in mcdo today with the usual c1 guys... unfortunately calvs left early...
i was supposed to help chris in math sa mateo today, but i left my ID at home so i couldnt hang around in school lest i get caught... so sa mcdo nalang kmi nag-aral after umalis na yung other guys...
i also saw a pleasant surprise sa mcdo... mehn!
i said hi of course...

boy, whatta week!
i do believe im getting to appreciate my MWF english classes a little more
in fact, i look forward to english class, but its not because of our teacher, i dont like my english teacher. ang daming pinapagawa... grrrrr!!!
if only walang heavy assignments ngayon... sigh...

im finally finished with my chem report
what a relief!
im quite surprised that everything went on quite smoothly, pero... nag-yawn si martha in the middle of my report! grabe naman oh! a few minutes lang, bored na kaagad?!

"so this is what poverty feels like, utterly frieless" - A Long Wait
hehehe... buti nalang binilhan ako ni chris ng cheeseburger to go with the fries... nakumpleto yun lunch ko... thanks chris!

after goin to the libe for an hour to do some researchin, tumambay ako sa mateo...
i was pretty surprised to see calvs and chris working on their project alone... nasan yung grpmates nyo?
i tried to help them with their project, but unfortunately, i didn't...
so i just chatted with the beautiful people of the speed table for a quite some time, therefore leaving the two to work...
we played this round robin game, and got a lot of laughs... kaaliw naman, kaya pala sabi ni ericka, "grace is the butt of jokes".

after their project, sinamahan na muna namin si chris for a while before dumating si denise
umuwi na kami ni calvs afterwards...

Nanood kmi ng Hua Mulan yesterday sa Aliw theatre
though hindi napuno yun theatre, ang daming tao!
tinatanke ko na yung mga nadadaanan ko para naman magkaroon ng space maglakad yung mom and sis ko
hehe... kahit bawal magdala yung food, natago ko yung plastic ng junk food to slip past the guards... hehe
hmmm... about the play,
"almost non-existent" (ericka Dec 05) yung relationship ng story of mulan to the show
the first few performances were old bananas but some segments were still amazing
overall... hua mulan is definitely not worth watching again... i already adviced beforehand to my dad not to watch such shows because they didn't present anything new, but the stubborn man still wanted to throw money away... whatever makes him happy...

wow! i can barely believe it, '06 na
'05 has been wonderful, but i guess its about time for a new year
the fireworks were breathtaking
unfortunately, such beauty comes with a heavy environmental cost
i can feel the lack of oxygen entering my bod
but still, ang ganda pa rin when the sky lights up
and the noise, mehn! does it get the heart pumping!

hmmm... new year's resolution?
i dunno... be more active? or am i busy as it is?
what else?... try out new things? take more risks? be less afraid of failure?
i think that's about what i want to change bout myself...

i wonder what this year holds for me?
i dont really want to know it now do i?
i guess i have to live it to find out...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
