dying alive

this is queer, i'mcurrently sitting in this uncomfortable white plastic chair inside a super noisy gaming center / cafe. go figure, i'm supposed to be at THAT other cozy cafe but he insisted i stay here.. and that's how i roll :)

prelim exams for the second semester are so damn over and i am soooo elated. freedom freedom, more to come? this past term i've been such a mallrat, my feet hurt most of the fuckin' time, and more often than not, i'm broke. let me just say it this way, our house just doesn't seem too appealing. i'm in no mood to go home early, i'd rather be out. ma anu ko to malantaw 5th wheel kag mga soaps? teh mayu..

i am still sooo sleepy i hardly slept last night. we went to a friend's house and slept there (i even forgot to ask permission, curse me). i kept waking up in the middle of the um, morning because my three other bedmates were either groaning, snoring, grumbling, dropping something or um.. farting. that was funny. i did not get wasted ha, i'm a good girl after all.. am i not? i had fun anyways.

christmas is oh-so-near. i'm dead rotten meat baby. kill me now, kill me quick!

unigames 06

2006-10-27T08:04:00.000+08:00

mind you, i am alive. supposedly i should be enjoying the sand, the waves, or the malls.. okay i'm lying. maybe i should be just in bed right now dreaming or making my eyes go achy-breaky watching reruns on ETC. but guess what, i'm not doing any of those things and for this semestral break i agreed to do volunteer work. and before some lame first-aid thing gets in your head, let me clear this out. it's not boring!

university of st. la salle bacolod plays host yet again to the unigames 2006. about 40 schools are participating in sports such as basketball, volleyball, football, swimming, lawn tennis, table tennis, and taekwondo, among others. i'm in the media center where we keep the stats, interview and photograph players, chuva ek ek. okay, you know what i'm saying. hotties galore, anyone? :)

yesterday was our enrollment but i haven't finished yet! there's this conflict in our sked and we have to get back at it next week. boo-hoo. as for now, i'm busy with uh.. work. and by the way, the unigame 06 will be from october 23 - october 29 so if you've got nothing to do, drop by and watch sports people at their best!

nothing

the midterms are over. *prances around like a little girl* nothing's changed though, i'm still lazy. i still didn't study. but i'm fearing that a might get a disgusting grade in psychology, i should get at least 83 (average) for the screening by the way. i'll try to think about those things next year.. when i'm not THIS preoccupied. lol.

next week - no classes. reason, U-WEEK! it's the university week, baby! meaning, we don't get to meet with our teachers for a whole week. ain't that just grand? BUT i'll be busy anyway. i really want to get involved in the 'horror room', i'm going to be your tour guide! here's a plug..

DRIVE-THRU HOTEL
Sept. 4 - 9, 2006
W17
tickets at 10 php only!

BE THERE...

people of USLS, do support the MassComm society! this horror room is different because it's not just another screamfest thing, it has a storyline and believe me.. it's good :)

i also passed the exam / screening for the lead and cascade staff. i have two articles due after the u-week. i hope i'll be able to make it. my digicam got smashed inside my bag during PE, so the LCD is busted. :( let's hope it gets fixed. i need my camera more than ever!!!

whatever

2006-07-19T15:29:00.000+08:00

This is just one of those 'spur of the moment' post. I am so agitated. My PRELIMS result are sure to suck.. This is not just some exaggeration, people. I know it. I'm not familiar with our teachers' styles of giving exams and all that. Remember, it's my first year so don't keep blaming me. On second thought, how much time did I really allot for sudying.. 30 minutes?! Ah, frustrating. Regional Studies killed me too. I came from a non-religious school so I don't really know much of the "Godly' stuff. Sue me..

I've got a new emo guy and he likes The Used. Duh.. Whosoever listens to emo, listens to The Used (or must, anyway). He's this guy in black, also known as : staple color. That's about it. I won't further elaborate because I know this blog is PUBLIC. Sigh sigh. Chicosci's going to hit Ateneo and it's killing me. Why can't La Salle have decent bands to come over too? :(

I'm missing everyone from high school! Yes, I might have 'incompletely' adjusted to college but I'd still say that high school was the best. I knew everybody, knew the teachers like the back of my hand, and never went the wrong way in going to my classroom too. College is just.. College! I feel so 'brand new' and so unknowing of everything. Guess my senior superior days are over. Hello bottom of the ladder! I am a Freshie once again, the underdog. Hmpf.. wait 'till I reach Sophomore year!

2006-06-06T17:25:00.000+08:00

School is upon us once again! Now for the whole of last year, I have been racking my brains trying to figure out what course to take. It took me one night (yes, one crucial night!) to decide on that, because I had to get my admission card and health certificate, pass my admission papers, get interviewed by the course's dean and all that the following day. I NEEDED to indicate my course in all those papers.

Guess what I decided on, AB MassComm. Surprise! I never even thought I'd end up in the one course that people always suggested that I'd get (nah, there is no money in masscomm), and the course that I wanted to be enrolled in but thought it impossible (my father was even against my writing). It is not practical, you don't earn much, all the contradictions always rang in my head.

During the interview, the college dean asked me the question : "Why MassComm?"

I know I finally decided on taking up Mass Communications because it had an edge from all my other course options. Writing was a hobby that became a likeness, something that I had to do everyday, regardless if I had a deadline or an article to pass. I happen to like being in the know, being a giver of news, being an informant. And not only that, I am also interested in the Performing Arts, in Theatre, Scriptwriting, Directing and all these Arts that are rolled in one course : Mass Comm.

They say it isn't practical, but I guess it would be more unpractical if I enrolled in a course that I didn't like. Say - Architecture. It would be hard to buy my interest and to force me studying to be something that I do not want to be. If by some chance I wouldn't fail, I would still think of shifting courses anyway. Why settle for anything less when you have the right to choose? After all, we manipulate our destiny, we do what we want to do with our lives and we suffer and gather whatever it gives out.

Anyway, I was wrong in thinking that it is a worthless course. There are many jobs out there, open for students of Mass Communications. You could be a call center agent, a teacher, journalist, writer, broadcast journalist, novelist, tour guide, the possibilities are endless. It is in you -- if you believe in yourself and your capabilities, nothing is impossible.

i stumbled upon this funny blog. not funny in the sense that the blogger posts funny videos et al, it's funny because.. well, just click the screenshot and see for yourself.

this is how funny catfights can get. that girl sure does know her english, doesn't she? oh and she even managed to steal the layout made by the girl she's bitching with, and claim it as her own. how.. typical.

speaking of catfights, i'm pretty sure you're familiar with the resident high school bitch with her equally bitchy / plastic posse, like 'the plastics' in mean girls. these people are the over-confident (and big-headed) ones, thinking that they're better than the rest of the girl female student population. they think they have the freedom to bash and backstab everyone else, which includes pretty much everyone else in their posse as well. aren't they grand? i think everyone in high school has the same rights as they do, so it doesn't make them qualified to bash, ridicule, and make other people's lives as miserable as their attitudes.

why speak of them? let's just say that i'm aggravated. take this from me : don't trust just about anyone. one minute you're talking and laughing with each other, the next - she goes over to resident bitch and bashes you upfront. oh and i didn't know that only punks wear chucks. does this mean that we're not entitled to our freedom of expression in the form of wardrobe?

girls just know how to have fun, basically.

[/EDIT] oh and i got this over the weekend. aylabet!

my birthday entry!!

2006-03-10T19:08:00.000+08:00

ENGLISH exams over! chinese exams left and i'm out of TTHS! (i hope?)

___________________________________________

for those of you who may not know (basically EVERYONE i bet), last march 8 this dumbass had her 17th birthday. oh joy! not that i love getting old, it's the exact opposite actually. who wants to be at the beck and call of a bossy guy and five little squirts when you can just boss the househelp and fight with two little squirts?! (know what i'm saying!)

like everyone else, i decided to make this my birthday entry. just because! so read on if you're interested and just go out if you've had enough boredom.

ok so thank you for staying.

this will be a RECAP of the year that was. that is, my sixteenth.

starting with :
when i was sixteen i...
1 . had my 3rd piercing.

2. joined (and stayed for more than a month) an extracurricular / out-of-school sport.

3. had my first henna tat!

4. did not get my heart broken.

5. discovered BOB ONG!

6. had 3 blogs. my BD (now closed), this, and my LJ.

7. saw my first international band perform live, and even got to meet them backstage!

8. got hooked with GB. to the extent that i slept at 2AM because i was playing.

9. got over the oh-so-short hair phase (that i always had since my elementary years).

10. became very good in getting to places riding a jeepney.

11. grew up. even just a little. all because of the experiences i have encountered at this age.

12. discovered how talented OPM bands are! (and got inspired on the process)

13. was curious about EVERYTHING. really. do i need to elaborate?

14. had eyebugs that were forever visible . blame it all on our super hectic senior year sked!

15. went home hours later than the usual.. twice. (call me a baby but my father is JUST so strict about me coming home as early as 6!)

16. still had *ehem* in here..

let's try seventeen, shall we?

i want one! when will i ever get one anyway, summer? i just can't wait until graduation, which is going to be on march 31st. wow. i'll finally get to leave my alma mater for 12 years. i'm so ecstatic for college, more free time, new people, new place. hope it doesn't let me down though.. anyway, i have to exert more effort in studying if i want to graduate.

this blog hasn't been updated for quite a few weeks *i hate myself* . i've been soooo busy with all our projects and requirements et al, i hope you would all bear with me!

i these too. from Team Manila.

i don't have much to blab about but i haven't updated this for ages and i feel so... lazy. what has been up? for starters, our LAST fund-raising event finished off yesterday (event : chinese new year, 1st BACOLAODIAT festival). imagine, we spent our weekend at the PUBLIC PLAZA! not that there's something outrageously wrong with that, it's just that THAT place is known to be thief and lunatic infested. we even went there last saturday (not this saturday) just to check out the place and we ended up running like crazy because we were scared of the lunatics roaming around freely. it's not as if they could kill us, but they could sure harm us. remember, they don't know what they're doing!

anyway, the weekend took off pretty well. no lunatics harassing or scaring us off. the place was well guarded and the PNP had a booth behind us. i went home a bit later than the usual last night, but thank God my father didn't give me any sermon of some sort. bottom line : my weekend rocked! too bad this was our last fund-raising.. i enjoy selling and persuasion.

________________________________________

i've been looking at the same old layout for more than a month now and i'm getting tired of it! since i still don't have Photoshop, i'll just be hunting for another layout and i JUST MIGHT change this one soon. oh and i'm looking for smileys too. help me?

WHATEVER

does your college course affect your career and your whole future as a whole?

i don't know.
i'm just so relieved that finally, my mum talked to my dad yesterday about college and the course he's ~~forcing~~ asking me to take. i can not believe that he finally gave up and allowed me to choose whatever course my heart desires! yipee! and i'm just so happy that i won't have to go to that stupid school.

but the thing is, i'm still racking my brains, trying to choose just ONE course - and i can't.

i could take HRM, which was my course of choice before my father decided that i should take his preffered course instead. another option would be accounting, because i kind of want to take up law and this is one of the pre-law courses. if i fail in this, i could always go down to business management - another option because i like business and salestalk and all that. but then i could also take up political science, with a marketing or journalism minor, but i'm not too up for that. i don't even know if i'll have what it takes to take it with a minor because i know that it would be boring if i only had the major course. and just yesterday, my mother suggested psychology. i don't even know if i have what it takes to go for law! well, que sera sera.. what will be, will be...

us SENIORS are very much bombarded with career orientations. it's puzzling me like hell but it's a good thing that we don't have PE classes (because of that) or else i'd have to ballroom dance!

seven songs

2006-01-07T10:49:00.000+08:00

i have been tagged by grace!

List seven songs that you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, they must be songs that you’re really enjoying right now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they are listening to.

lazy daisy (up dharma down)
another great song from a new opm indie band! this is the perfect rainy day song, and i just love the vox' sultry voice.

new age girl (dead eye dick)
i know this is an old-school song but i've been hearing this one a lot these days because we might just sing it on choral. doesn't it sound like the knacks' my sharona? oh and i'm wondering about this mary moon girl.. maybe it's marilyn monroe?

move along (all-american rejects)
their new album didn't really make me scream like crazy unlike their first CD, in which all the tracks became my favorites. move along's a great track though. i like the line "and even when your hope is gone, move along, move along just to make it through." you bet i will!

california (phantom planet)
call me whatever but i loved this song from the moment i heard it a few years back! it reminds me of sun, sand, summer.. and graduation. i'm married to this song i swear! when will i ever get to california?

sugar we're going down (fall out boy)
they're better than MCR! this sounds like what else? emopunk. mainstream-ish i know but sugar, we're going down!

it's over (urban dub)
"you can take your dagger off my back..." i'm a sucker for emo, most especially if it's urbandub emo. they're flip and they're really good! first there was quite poetic and now THIS!

echo (incubus)
i know.. i'm really digging the old tracks but who can ever resist this incubus track? (damn.. i can NEVER ignore brandon boyd, that's for sure!)

call me emo, it's only temporary.
i'm tagging peter, sabrina, alyssa, jezza, patty, ate shenmue, and cathie! YOU can grab this too if you like. no worries!

happy new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

new year is, without a doubt, my favorite special occasion. i'm not a christmas person, heck some friends even call me a scrooge! anyway, here are some random facts about MY christmas and MY new year.

- we don't have the traditional filipino noche buena. we sleep through christmas, believe it or not.

- new year is more festive.

- i wore black this christmas and new year. that must mean that i'm going to die on either a christmas or a new year this year. or maybe i'd get into an accident on christmas and then die on a new year. who knows? lmao.

- i don't get presents, or even candies from santa anymore. *sobs*

- i am officially opening this blog today, the 1st of january!
...

it's the year of the dog, and the she-dog as well. i wonder i this year will actually be better than my rotten rooster year. anyway, you go year of the b*tch.. come get me!

[/EDIT]

i got this at hoon's joint. j-hoon is DA MAN, dude (and isn't this cute? lolx). so yeah, HAVE A SMASHIN' FREAKIN' PUMPIN' FLAMIN' NEW YEAR DUDIES!

RETURN OF THE COMEBACK

2005-12-29T21:38:00.000+08:00

i'm back on blogspot.

i don't know what's the deal with me and my blogs - we do get together but only for a short while (maybe for about 6 months) and then we split. mostly it's because i can't seem to get contented with what it has, or how it looks like. that's just me. presently, i have my LJ and my blogdrive. the LJ is for more personal posts, it's more like my journal whilst the blogdrive is for mere rants and raves. i'm getting rid of blogdrive because it just doesn't work for me. the layouts have different kind of codes, that makes it hard for me to make one. and their blogskins are dull.

this is my 2nd blogspot. welcome me back!:)
