a Tagalog post...

dapat kahapon pa ako mag-uupdate
kya lang for some reason, wala akong internet
kaya eto ako ngayon
Be prepared for a long post...


Sa wakas, nakaenrol na din ako
6 units nga lang
grabe nakakapagod
Gumising ako ng mga 830 kahapon ng umaga
Uminom ng gatas, nag-toothbrush, naligo, nagbihis
punta ng Mapua
pagdating ko dun
anak ng tinapa, walang tao sa registrar
anung petsa na?!
no choice ako kundi maghintay
biglang kong naisipan na i-check ang ibang departments
pumunta ako sa CHE-CHM dept
tinanong ko kung may offer silang Organic Chemistry this term
yung pang MSE which is 2 units lang, wala
pero may open, pang-CHE, 3 units nga lang
sabi nung secretary pwede daw ako dun
ipa-equivalent course ko na lang daw sa registrar
kaya ayon, binigyan ako ng paper na nakasulat yun
pagbalik ko sa regisrar, wala pa din tao
mga 11 30 na yun, e maglalunch break sila ng 12 noon
nagugutom na ako
buti nalang dumating si Angel at Carl
Yinaya nila ako kumain, syempre sama ako
kumain kami sa Faustina's
first time ko dun
masarap pala pagkain dun
makakain nga ulit sa susunod
pagkatapos nmin kumain, maaga pa
mga 12:30 pa lang ata yun
eh 1 pm pa magbubukas sa registrar
sabi nila tambay na muna ako sa tambayan ng SCA
ka-organization ko nga pala si Angel at Carl pero di na ako active
pagdating namin dun, nandun din yung ibang members
naghihintayan pala sila dahil ppunta silang Tayabas, Quezon para sa leadership training
nakausap ko si Darren na former blockmate ko na naka-LOA (leave of absence) ngaun
pinipilit nila siya sumama
kaya join naman ako, kunwari kasama ako hahaha
pinilit ko din sya pero iitry daw niya, wala sya pera
anyway
tumambay ako dun hanggang mga 1:15
pag-alis ko sa tambayan pumunta ako sa EMSE dept nmin
kinuha ko yung paper para maiopen na yung Mineralogy subject
diretso ng registrar
in an instant, may 3 units na ako, yay!
tapos yung Organic Chemistry naman
kaya lang may kulang pala
dapat may official document na pirmado sa CHE-CHM department na allowed ung pag-equivalent course
kaya bumalik ulit ako sa CHE-CHM para magpapirma
pagbalik ko sa registrar, ok na
inadd na ung subject ko
buti nalang hindi conflict sa schedule
eh di may 6 units na ako
tapos pumunta ako sa IE-EMG dept
tinanong ko kung open na ung Engineering Management
sabi nung secretary, kailangan niya yung list ng students na kukuha nun
eh wala sa akin, na kay Carlo pala
eh di tinext ko sya, tagal magreply
kaya naisip ko sa pasukan nalang yun
pina-finalize ko na schedule ko
tapos nagbayad na ako
weee, tapos na ako magenrol
tamang- tama nagreply na si Carlo
nasa school pala siya, nagkita kami
mukhang kararating lang
tapos nakita pa namin si Kuya Evan at Kuya Allen
kukuha din sila ng EMG kaya pinasulat din namin dun sa list
ipinasa na namin ni Carlo yung list sa IE-EMG dept
kaya lang di pa daw maoopen yun nun day na un
kaya ayun, sa pasukan na talaga yun
anyway, at least, nakaenrol na ako
papasok ako this term
nagtatanong siguro kayo kung bakit 3 subjects lang ang makukuha ko
dahil yun lang ang pwede kong kunin
hay buhay
hirap talaga sa Mapua lalo na sa department namin
bahala na


actually, 2nd time ko na pumunta sa school para magpaenroll
Nung Friday, pumunta na ako school
tapos yung mga offered na subjects this term hindi ko pa pwedeng kunin
suggestion ni Ma'am Fernandez, magpa-change curriculum na ako ng pang batch 2007
oo naman ako
naghintay ako sa school hanggang mga 2 pm
di talaga dumadating registrar namin
kaya sabi ko sa Monday na nga lang
kasama si Kat, pumunta na kami SM Manila para kumain
tamang-tama naman nakasalubong namin si Keziah pabalik ng school
at dahil ang reason kung bakit sya babalik ng school ay kami,
sumama na siya samin sa SM
kumain kami sa KFC
tapos tumambay lang
nagkwentuhan
hinintay namin sina Allan at Shid dahil pag-uusapan yung outing
tapos naglibot kami sa SM
dapat kasi bibili ng laptop si Keziah, eh hindi pa negtetext yung tatay niya
ako naman bumili ng external hard drive at screen protector
kahit papano nabawasan na yung listahan ng mga bibilhin ko
yung hard drive Buffalo ang brand, 3 995 yung 320GB
ang saya ko, bumilis ng konti ang laptop ko dahil nabawasan na ng laman
napapaisip tuloy ako kung maguupgrade pa ako ng RAM
mukhang di na kailangan
mga past 5 pm na, nasa school pa sila Allan
hindi pa kasi dumadating ung prof na hinihintay nila
naghintay pa kami konti
nun medyo madilim na tinext ko na si Allan na uuwi na kami
nag-sorry siya
ok lang yun, enjoy naman eh


sunod na araw ay Sabado
walang magawa, sa bahay lang
after lunch, sabi ng tatay ko maglakad lakad daw ulit kami sa likod ng MOA after dinner
banat naman ako, "San tayo kakain?"
sabi niya sa bahay lang daw pero bumigay din
tumawag siya bandang mga 7 pm
kain daw kami sa Jade Palace
pumunta kasi siya ng office para tapusin yung monthly report niya
umalis kami sa bahay mga past 8 pm
kumain sa Jade Palace
nakakita pa kami ng artista
nandun si Joey Marquez kasama yung anak niyang si Jeremy at yung isang pa niyang anak kay Alma Moreno na hindi ko kilala
pagkatapos kumain, pumunta na kami sa likod ng MOA
Seaside Boulevard ata tawag dun
naglakad lakad lang kami habang nagkwekwentuhan
tapos kumain ng ice cream
pinagpawisan ako kakalakad
ang daming tao
tuwang tuwa ang nanay ko dun sa mga batang nasa loob ng bola
para silang mga hamster hahaha
yung hamster(?) sa Bolt, basta yung nasa loob ng transparent na bola
may ganung palaruan dun
sabagay, nakakatuwa nga naman
after ng family bonding time, umuwi na kami
bagong story naman pagdating namin sa bahay


pagdating namin sa bahay
may pagala galang tuta sa harap ng gate namin
chocolate brown ang kulay
ang cute kaya lang madumi
nakakaawa, baka masagasaan
kay kinuha nalang ng tatay ko
amin nalang daw tutal mukhang wala naman may ari
weee, may pet na ako
pero mas gusto ko pa din rabbit, narealize ko na takot pa din ako sa aso
ginawan siya ng higaan at itinimpla ng gatas
naubos niya yung gatas
sabi ng tatay ko Snickers daw pangalan niya
kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit Snickers, yun ay dahil Snickers ang pangalan ng 2 una naming mga aso although di ko na sila naabutan
si Snickers 1 ay namatay
si Snickers 2 naman bigla nalang daw nawala
so technically, ang tutang ito ay si Snickers 3
magdamag nagpapansin si Snickers 3
ayaw patulugin ang kuya ko
naninibago siguro kaya umiiyak
mga 3 am na ako natulog at nung mga oras na yun ay naririnig ko pa siyang nag-iingay
paggising ko kinabukasan
hala! wala na siya
nakatakas daw
palibhasa sa garahe kasi siya linagay
eh may butas dun sa baba ng gate
natural makakalusot yun dun
sayang talaga
kala ko may pet na ako
pero medyo relieved din ako dahil
RABBIT ANG GUSTO KO!!!
ngayon, balik na ako sa pangungulit sa tatay at kuya ko na bilhan ako ng rabbit
weeeee ^_^


balik na ako ngayon sa anime fandom
ang tagal kong di nakapanood ng anime
nakahabol na ako sa episodes ng Bleach
kaya lang fillers ulit yung mga susunod na episodes
stop uli ako sa Bleach
tinatapos ko naman ngayon idownload ang Gundam 00
last episode na nung Sunday
di ko pinapanood yung mga naunang downloaded episodes
gusto ko kasi dirediretso
natapos ko na panuoring ang Code Geass R2
sabi ko na nga ba may binabalak si Lelouch nung ideclare niya na siya ang bagong emperor ng Britannia
di ako makapaniwalang umiyak ako sa ending
waaaaaaa
naaawa ako kay Lelouch
grabe yung pinagdaanan niya
at least nagkabati at nagkaintindihan sila ni Suzaku
and peace returned sa kanilang lahat
bumalik na ang D Gray Man manga, yay!
ang tagal ng hiatus ng mangaka nun
at si Allen, I think isa talaga siyang Noah
kala niya di siya masasaktan nung sinaksak niya yung sarili niya ng Crown Belt
pero baliktad, may ibang personality ang lumabas with the same manner of speaking ng Millenium Earl
gusto ko na makita next chapter


sa Asian fandom naman wala masyado
pinagpapatuloy ko lang ang pagdownload ng Mago Mago Arashi
gusto ko ang mga shows ng Arashi
pero hindi mga kanta nila
yun lang


siguro nagtataka kayo kung bakit Tagalog ito
wala lang, trip ko lang
hirap mag-english eh
hahahahahahahaha
Ja ne...

I passed everything...

I seriously thought I was gonna fail
But I managed to pass everything


I've been worrying about my subjects last term
cause I got really low scores in quizzes
I've already accepted that I'd fail in analytical chemistry lec
but near the end of the term, it gave me some hope
my final grades for the 3rd term are:
CHM110 2.75
CHM200L 2.75
MEC203 2.50
MSE114 2.25
Gen. Weighted Average 2.56

I'm totally satisfied with my grades
I was expecting get 3.00 for all my subjects
but that did not happen
I guess I was lucky ^_^


My dad arrived yesterday afternoon from Singapore
He bought a cute little red bag for my mom but nothing for me
at least he came back home safe
anyway, we went out for dinner
we ate in a chinese restaurant called Emerald Palace
we ordered camaron rebosado, fish lips soup, pancit canton, sweet and sour fish fillet, spareribs in salt and pepper and vegetables
the food was sooo delicious
after the meal, we went to seaside boulevard behind SM Mall of Asia
we just walked there while chatting
then we ate ice cream and went home tired
it was really a fun time with my family


since classes are over, I don't have much to talk about
I have a one month vacation
and I'm still thinking how to spend it
I'm planning an overnight swimming right now with my friends
we haven't decided who's going and where it will be held
so organizing is taking quite a time
well, what's important is we enjoy ourselves since some of them are graduating already and this will be their last outing


not much about the fandoms
NEWS have a new single called "Koi no ABO (?)"
I think it'll be releases 29th of April
all I've been doing recently is watch anime and Arashi videos
I'm getting into the Arashi fandom ^_^


I've nothing to write anymore so
Ja...

Almost Over...

One more final exam
and I'll say bye bye to the 3rd term


I had my finals for Mechanics last Tuseday
after the exam, my prof checked our papers and computed our grades
so after about an hour, the class already knew their standing
my score in the finals was 55/100
and after the computations, I ranked first in the class
my overall grade was 57 %
the passing grade was 60 (although our prof can still lower it down if he wants to)
so technically, I failed
but since I'm first, he said he'll pass me
Yay!
Lady luck is on my side ^_^
I'm happy with just a grade of 3.00
I have one less worry
I hope he decides to pass all 5 of us
but if not, at least give them 7.00 for incomplete so they won't fail
after the exam, there's still 2 hours left of class time
one of my classmates brought his laptop
so we just watch "Kung Fu Panda"
I had so much fun
it was so cute and funny
he never realized that he was adopted
I mean where in the world can you see a swan (?) father and his son is a panda
that's just ridiculous
anyway, it's one of the few animated movies that I liked


I've already accepted that I'll fail analytical chemistry lecture
my first 2 quizzes were really low
and it would be impossible to catch up
just when I've decided that all hope is gone, something really unexpected happened
I received the results of my 3rd quiz last Wednesday and guess what?!
I PASSED!!!
my score was 69/100
My resolve that I'll fail was all crushed (resolved to fail?!what kind of resolve is that?!)
and I was having my last quiz in that subject last Friday
more signs of hope was given to me
there was one problem where the correct final answer was written
I'm not sure if it was a typo or my prof really intended for it to be there
when I first answered it, I got it wrong
then when I was double checking my answers, I realized that I miscalculated that one
I computed the figures again and whoa!!!
I GOT IT CORRECT!!!
my tension is up again
it seems that He wants me to pass
but I don't want to get my hopes up so much
because if I see a 5.00 (failing grade) for that, I'll feel really disappointed and depressed
I don't want to feel that way
well, there's still the finals in Wednesday and I'll study hard for it
I'll do my best!
as for the laboratory counterpart, I'm 100% sure I'll pass
so no problems


Last Friday, I cooked again after a long time
I cooked Carbonara and toasted bread for dinner
it was sooo delicious
(yep, I'm proud of my cooking and baking skills, everything I make is yummy)
even my brother who is not fond of white sauce really liked it
I'm so happy
when I had my birthday party last year, I cooked the spaghetti
and everyone said it was delicious
it was after everyone was finished that I revealed I was the one who cooked it
Ohhh I loved their reaction especially my high school friends
I used to bake on weekly basis
my friends asked me to
they liked my chocolate crinkles
so they asked me to sell them hehehe
but I've been busy with school
that I didn't have time for my hobbies
with the 3 week summer vacation coming
I'll be back on the kitchen


my dad left this noon for Singapore
he went for a business trip and will be gone for a week
I'm so gonna miss him
please come back safe and sound


There's nothing going on in the fandoms
Nothing really interesting
Some random updates:

• Shige and Koyama in Kiseki no Kizuna (haven't watched it)
• I'm watching 1 litre of tears right now because I dreamt about Ryo which I don't remember the details except the beach ( sorry, so random)
• I mentioned in a previous post somthing about TVXQ, since then I haven't watched any of their videos yet (guess, I'm not getting into their fandom)
• Kame looks so good in his hairstyle right now
• I watched Cartoon KAT-TUN episode 100 without subs, I understood about 60%. It was a funny episode
• I've downloaded and watched Arashi no Shukudai-kun where Nagase was the guest. I was laughing so hard last night. I'm also downloading their singles right now. I'm officially entering the Arashi fandom.

That's it for today's post
Ja...

* p.s. I can't believe I slept all afternoon from 12 noon to 4 pm...
that was a first...

Happy day...

I just got home
I'm tired
I'm sleepy
but I had lots of fun
Oh, and I'm excited too!
I'm in a good mood ^_^


I had my practical exam in Analytical Chemistry laboratory this morning
since we can't decide on the order of taking the exam, we drew lots by group
I wanted to got first thought but I can't say it out loud
in the end, I was the last person to take the exam
the pattern of the exam is like this:
we'll go inside the room one by one
we have 10 minutes to finish the 3 stations for the exam
then additional 5 minutes for the computations
after taking the exam, the students stay inside the room until no one's waiting for their turn outside
since I'm last, it means I'll be left alone waiting outside the room
just the thought of that made me lonely
but I wasn't left alone
Mm other friends' who were having their class in the room in front of ours joined me
their teacher hasn't arrived yet so we talked a bit
It raised my spirits
and by the time I was called their teacher still hasn't arrived
while I was doing my exam, my professor and other classmates went back to our usual room
and I was left in the care of the laboratory assistant
it was a plus for me because I was the only student in the exam room so there were no distractions
I was able to concentrate
the first station was about apparatus
there were 10 apparatus and I had to identify them and their uses
the second part was about laboratory set-ups
there were 2 set-ups and I had to point out the mistakes in them
the third part is titration
we had to titrate the acid until it changes color then compute for its molarity
as soon as I finished, I knew I did well
I was able to answer everything within the given time
even in the titration part, the color of my solution was really light pink
I saw the others' work and they're all dark pink, almost fuschia
our professor checked my paper as soon as she received it and guess what I got
I got a 96/100!!!!
I was so happy
it's been a long time since I got a score that high
actually, I did not have any mistakes
I only lack 4 answers for the second part
next week, we'll be having the written exam
so I still have to study for it


after class, I waited for Kat's class to finish
we ate lunch in Chowking
as usual, we watched a movie
we watched "He's just not that into you"
at first, we though of watching Streetfighter: Legend of Chun-Li
but Allan's going to kill us (kakatayin niya kami) so we decided to watch another film and wait for the time that Allan and Shid can join us to watch it
Allan and Shid had their defense for their feasibility studies so they weren't able to come
after the movie, we strolled the mall a bit while waiting for my parents
when we separated, I went to the department store because my parents were there
I bought a new bag then we went home


it was my dad's birthday last Tuesday but he wasn't aound that time
so hasn't treated us yet
we went home to fetch my brother and housekeeper
we ate dinner at Max's Restaurant
we ordered and ate a lot
there's pancit canton, sinigang na tiyan na bangus, camaron rebosado, kare-kare, and a whole chicken
I was so full
For sure, it'll be a while before we eat out like this again
(my dad in stingy)


I watched KAT-TUN's new pv "Rescue"
again, it was so cool just like the "One drop" pv especially Ueda and Jin's dance part
it's so cool that it makes me mad
how about NEWS?!
when are they going to have a pv like that?!
I'm worried that if I continue seeing KAT-TUN like these, I might go back to their fandom


I watched TVXQ's pv "Survivor"
it was ok, I didn't really like it
then I watched their Smap x Smap guesting without english subs
(I was surprised I understood the interview, my mom was eyeing me suspiciously while watching it because there were no subs and yet I was laughing and smiling)
watching their pv gave me realization
TVXQ is the very first asian boyband that I knew
I remember watching them in Show Music Tank in Arirang TV
I think it was U-know and Mickey were the hosts at that time
but I did not bother checking them out
I had no interest in internet that time
and BoA was the only reason why I was watching that show
They sang "Purple Line" in Smap x Smap
so I checked out it's video as well as "Mirotic"
and I seriously liked it
now I'm thinking of downloading their songs
Someone stop me!!!
if this goes on, I might join their fandom
and I don't want to because it takes up so much time
and I am quite busy right now


Hell week officially starts on Monday
it's the last week of the term
I've started my ethics essay and made 3 pages now
still need 1 or 2 more pages
last Friday, I asked one of my classmates in ethics about his essay
he said he asked his friend that is a law student to do the essay for him?!
that is sooo unfair
here I am, racking my empty brain for ideas and worrying myself out that I won't be able to finish it
and there he is asking someone else to do it for him while he sleeps in our class!!!
I hate people like that
I did not talk to him for the rest of the class
(that was in our anal chem class by the way)
but of course, I didn't show how angry I was
as a result, I lost my motivation to do the paper
what's the use of doing something that I know will just get a passing grade while someone will get a higher grade for the same work that he didn't do
it really pissed me off
so for 2 days, I slacked off
but this morning, I asked my other classmates how their paper is going and found out that they haven't even started it yet
knowing that I'm quite ahead of the others made me a bit happy
and now I'm back on track
Ugh, I'm such a simple minded person


I've finished watching "Lunch Queen"
at first, I only watched it because of Yamapi
but as I watch more episodes, I started to enjoy it
the plot is nice and I loved the female lead
it's about family, friendship, but more on romance
not to mention, the food were looks delicious that it made me hungry while watching
right now, I'm watching "Long Love Letter"
it's another Yamapi jdrama but the plot is also good
it's also about friendship and romance


I've downloaded a couple of Tensai!Shimura Doubutsen
Aiba cracks me up so much
I can't believe what I've been missing on the Arashi fandom
I've always liked Arashi
I'm a fan of them as individuals but not their songs
their songs just don't appeal to me


Hey!Say!JUMP! has a new show
How about NEWS?!
I want NEWS to have their own regular show too
I miss my NEWS
Please give them work!!!


Phew, that was a long post
I'm off now to continue my ethics essay
Ja...

Nothing to Say...

I'm tired
I'm sleepy
I'm depressed


I'm 100% sure I will fail analytical chemistry lecture
I got a really really really low score on my 2nd quiz despite studying
that's why I'm so frustrated because I studied really hard
but then I got that kind of score
I think it's impossible to make up for it now
I'm conditioning myself to see a 5.00 (failing grade) in my card by the end of the term
this is going to be my 2nd 5.00 grade
I'm not going to tell my parents
I feel ashamed of myself


I really want to do my college life all over again
Someone please give me a time slip
"Hallelujah Chance"
but of course it's impossible
it's my own fault for choosing Mapua and engineering
I don't have regrets going to that school and studying that program
It's just that I should have done better
before, my aim is just to pass the subject
a 3.00 (passing grade) would satisfy me
but now I want 2.00 and above grades
why?
because when I graduate, I want to have a honor
and it will give me better chances to enroll in the university I want to study for Master's Degree


I wasn't able to go to mass last Ash Wednesday
I will submit my take home quiz in dynamics where all my classmates copied from me so all have the same answers on Tuseday
I have my 3rd quiz on anal chem lecture which I already started studying since Saturday on Wednesday
I have an essay in ethics that I have no idea what to write due on March 14
I only have two weeks to do this
This term is on the 9th week now
There's only 3 more weeks left then summer vacation
I have at least 3 weeks to mourn for my failing grade


If I saw and replied earlier to my brother's text message last Friday,
I already would have a pet rabbit now


She's starting to get on my nerves
she's so KY
and stop calling me "psst"!!!
I have my own name
and it's not "psst"
you don't have to ask every little thing that's going on in this house
it's none of your business
you don't have ask every single thing you need to do
even how much rice you have to cook, you still need to disturb me?!
isn't that the reason why you're here?!
seriously annoying


I've been thinking of what I want to do with my life
and it's stressing me out
when I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor
but I can't handle blood and syringes so I gave up
watching Code Blue reminded me how great doctors are
I'm on my 4th year in college now
it's too late to change careers
not to mention I still can't handle syringes
so I've thought of an alternative where I can be in medical and engineering field at the same time
and I've found not only one but two possible fields
(actually not only 2 but these are what I'm interested)
They are Biomedical engineering and Biomaterials engineering (I prefer this one better)
I don't think these fields is being offered anywhere in the Philippines
so I looked for other possible universities
I have mentioned before that I want to study my Master's Degree in Japan so obviously I looked for Japanese universities
so far, I have only found 2 who offers them
Tokyo Institute of Technology and University of Tokyo
I can probably get into Tokyo Tech but it's in Yokohama
I prefer to be in Tokyo but with my level, it seems Todai is impossible
and this is what's stressing me out
(this kinda seem pointless right now because I still have to graduate from bachelor's degree)


earlier I asked my brother if I can be a model too
and he said "Oo naman, ikaw lang naman ang ayaw eh"
which roughly translates to "of course you can, it's just you who doesn't want to"
I'm not pretty
I'm not thin
I'm more on the heavy side
but at least, maybe, there's also available job for me out there right?
he's holding a modeling workshop on March 14
maybe I'll attend it
do I still have to apply to him even if he's my brother?


My dad's birthday is on Tuesday
but he won't be around
he's going to Subic tomorrow for a seminar
he'll back on Thursday
I'm gonna miss him


I'll try writing my essay now
Ja ne...

It's Valentine's Day...

Minna-san,

Happy Valentine's Day ^_^

Today is heart's day and I don't have a date...Or so I thought...

I started my day with the usual going to school routine...
Woke up early in the morning, ate breakfast, took a bath, changed clothes then off to school...
Since it's Saturday, my parents drove me to school...
I thought I was already late because my cellphone alarm did not go off...
So I was 30 minutes behind schedule...
My class starts at 7 30 and I arrived at 7 45...
Luckily, as soon as I arrived in the 4th floor where my room is, the faculty room door flung open and my professor came out from it...
I made it in time!!! Yatta!!!
So we did the experiment, had a little discussion and our professor let us take home our reports...
She said since it's Valentine's day, we should go home early...
She wants to go home early too because according to her, she still has to do the laundry...
And so we finished early and went home early...
Well, at least THEY went home early...
I still have a class at 4 30 pm so I had to stay behind...

It has been a routine for me and my friends, Kat and Kez, to meet every Saturday and have lunch...
Unfortunately, today, Kez could not come...
Apparently, she has plans with her sibling (really?!)...
So it was only me and Kat...
BUT...
Two of our friends had make up class this morning and they're also in school...
So we waited for them to finish their class and grabbed some lunch in SM Manila...
Those two were Allan and Shid, by the way...
The 4 of us ate at Tokyo Tokyo and had really nice conversations...
I especially enjoyed the American Idol one...hehe
It's been a long time since we went out like that because of our busy schedules...
And I'm really glad we got to do it again...
After lunch, we went to see a movie...
We watched PUSH starring Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning and Camilla Belle...
It was a nice movie...
I really enjoyed it...
It was so packed that it felt like the movie was so long despite it being only 2 hours...
After the movie, we decided to stroll the mall since we don't want to go home yet and my parents hasn't arrived (they're going to pick me up)...
We ate sundae (care of Kat) as we walk around the mall...
After a long and fun day, we separated ways...
Since, we're pass by Shid's place on the way home, he went with us and dropped him at his place...
Kat and Allan also went home...
In case you're wondering why I spend the whole afternoon at the mall, my 430 class got canceled...
A seminar is going on in our seminar room and our professor told us to there...
(my classmate informed me of this through mail)
And since I'm already at the mall, I have no intention of having a 15 minute walk from the mall to school just to attend a seminar that is totally not related to what I'm studying in my program...


Since it's Valentine's day, I teased my dad a bit about eating dinner out...
He complied with my sweet request and we ate at a local restaurant near our home...
The food was really delicious...
I can't wait to eat that I burned my tongue...
Until now, it still kinda hurts...
Me and my parents chatted a bit while waiting for the food...
Which was pretty rare in our family...
We don't really talk to each other much...
My mom even complains that when we're at home, we act like strangers...
We just do what we want and not notice each other...
The only time we really talk is when we eat out...
It's the only bonding our family have...
Oh, it's not the whole family...
It's just the 3 of us...
My two elder brothers don't go with us anymore...
Anyway, I'm glad I got to spend some time with my parents...

Well, today's valentine's day...
I've got nothing planned...
I have no boyfriend which means no date...
But it turns out, I was wrong...
I had two special dates...
One with my friends Kat, Shid and Allan...
And the other one with my beloved parents...
Thank you so much for keeping me happy today ^_^

Now, on to the fandoms...
Lately, I've been so into Yamapi...
Though Tegoshi still remains my ichiban...
Yamapi has moved from an undetermined spot to my niban...
I wonder why he hasn't caught my attention till lately...
Now I've realized how good an actor he is and amusing he is as a person...
I'm feel kinda sad that he doesn't have any new projects yet...
But also happy at the same time that he's getting well deserved rest...

Random updates:

The Day of Change...

OMG, I freaking look lika Toda Erika...Well, at least the hair...I swear I seriously did not intend it to look like hers...But for some reason it became like this...

I've been asking my mom since December to go to the salon with me...I wanted a change so I decide to have my hair colored...But since it's vacation and I won't be going out much, she said it's just a waste and rescheduled our trip for the first week of January, the start of my classes...

Come first week of January...I had problems with my schedule plus my laziness so we weren't able to go...Friday last week (23rd of January), my mom asked me if I wanted to go to the salon...But my brother said to go the next week (which was last Friday, 30th of January) so we could all go together and he'll pay for it...

Come last Friday...For the past month, I have wanted to color my hair for the first time...But I noticed that as it grows longer, the tips are becoming wavy...So I thought maybe I should just have it curled...My mom asked me what I wanted to do with it so I said I want it curled and colored...But she said no...Too much chemicals will ruin my hair...So I just put off the idea of coloring it...Coloring my hair might ruin it more than curling it anyway...So we went to the salon and had it curled...Oh and I also wanted to try having long bangs...So the stylist cut some of my hair up to the level of my mouth...The length of my hair is until half of my back by the way...And then she started putting my hair into curlers...It took about 3 hours to finish...I was so sleepy but fought it...When it was done, it wasn't what I expected...Actually, I was expecting big curls just like Goldilocks'...But for some reason it looks exactly like Toda Erica's hair in Code Blue...Well, I don't hate it...I actually love it...Surprisingly, it suits me...^_^ At least that's what I think...My mom isn't satisfied with it though...She thinks it's not curly enough...As for the bangs, the stylist suggested that shower/chinese bangs suits my curly hair better...So I went for it and had her cut it to the level of my eyes...And here I am having curly hair and shower/chinese bangs...

I went to school this morning feeling excited and confident because of my new hair...I got different comments but I think they all liked it...My first classmate that saw me asked if I did not bathed...I really don't get why he said that...Is it because it looks like I didn't comb my hair???...
I really don't know and I did not bothered to ask (the truth is I didn't comb it, the stylist said not to, to maintain the curls)...One of my classmates said I look pretty...Wow...It's the first time someone actually said that to me (I don't know if he's serious or he's just fooling around, somehow it made me happy either way)...Here are the other comments:

Kat: Koreana ka ba??? (Are you Korean???)
Kat: Bagay naman sayo ah...(It suits you)
Mat: Wow...Kulot...Ayos ah...Bagay sayo...(Wow...Curly...Good...It suits you...)
Kuya Evan (jokingly): Di ka naligo no? (You did not take a bath???...just because I did not comb my hair and it looks shiny doesn't mean I didn't took a bath)
Kuya Allen: Yan na ba ang new look mo ngaun??? (Is that you're new look now???)
Bez Keziah, Toni, Jeck and Shiella: Nagpakulot ko?! (You curled your hair?!)

In short, for the first time in my 20 years, I changed my hairstyle and it seems everyone has accepted it...

This morning I had lab class...Our professor was absent but she left us the experiment to do...It was easy and short so around 10 am, we're already finished...My friend Kat was also finished with her class and since it's still early and my next class is at 430 pm, we went to watch a movie again...This time, we watched Ink Heart...It was a good movie...Almost made me cry when the family was reunited at the end but of course I held back my tears...It would be too embarrassing...After the movie, we went to supermarket to buy something and parted ways...Kat went home and I went back to school for my class...Oh and we went to KFC for lunch before the movie anyway...Just want to tell you...

Real Life Happenings:

• I changed my hairstyle...
• I had my first quiz last Friday in Analytical Chemistry and I know I totally failed...It was hard...The fact that I did not study much didn't made any help...I'll just do better next time...
• I got 84/100 for my first experiment in Analytical Chemistry lab...
• Also had my first quiz in dynamics...It was open notes...Not sure how I did though...
• My eldest brother has a new job...He's in Emerson now and he has nothing else to do but to respond and send e-mails...He sure has a lot of free time at work so he just surfs the net and still gets the same salary as his previous one (he used to work in a call center)...
• In their sports competiton in the company, he won silver for 4 x 50 m relay and bronze for 25 m breastroke in swimming...It looks like after all these years, he's still good at swimming...He was in the varsity swimming team in his university...
• I officially started a food and exercise diary...With my hair done now, I'll definitely lose weight...
  
• My internet connection is still very slow...
• My friend Kat send me the books Ink Heart, Ink Spell and Ink Death...I'll start reading it whenever I feel like reading...
  
• I envy those who have lost of comments on their journal...No one's commenting on mine anymore...I wonder why that is...Am I THAT boring and unlikeable???...I feel lonely...

To end this post, I have a very random story from last week...Last Sunday, we went to church and I was wearing white shorts and a checkered orange/green blouse...My brother (second eldest) said that I look like a melon and my dad seconded it...They keep on saying that until we left...So in retailiation, when he went to work wearing a bright orange sort of cloak blouse (sorry for the random description), I told hime he looks like a bubble gum and our housekeeper said he looks like orange flavored candy...hahahahahaha Wow...our family really looks like FOOD...

Been busy for the past few days...

Here's an update of what's happening in real life so far...

Friday, 19th of December...
I went to school to enroll for the next term...
The offices were only until 5 pm so I wasn't able to finish the process...
I had to go back the next day for the payment...
I was grateful that my friends, Keziah, Kat, Shid and Allan waited for me...
Then we went to SM Manila...
We first checked the cinema, what movies are shown and the time they'll be starting...
We decided to watch "Quarantine" through the time it will be starting which is in an hour and it's only movie playing that none of us have watched yet...
So we bought tickets for the 7:05 pm showing and went to grab lunch/dinner in one in Chowking...
Shid, Allan, Keziah and me ordered the salo-salo set meal while Kat ordered her own food...
We ate a lot...
We were so hungry cause we've been in school since lunch time and none of us ate lunch...
After eating there's still time so we just strolled the mall...
I bought a DVD set of the Harry Potter movies from 1 to 5...
After that, we bought snacks, popcorn and drinks and went to the cinema...
Around 8 pm, Keziah left because she has to go home already...
She did not finished the movie so she missed the ending...
It was a nice movie...
We kept screaming while watching...
This get together is to celebrate Keziah's birthday which was November 19th, Allan's birthday which was December 15th and Kat's upcoming birthday on December 30th...
After the movie, my dad called and said they'll pick me up...
Shid's home is on the way to our home so he went with us...
It's been a long time since me and my friends got together...
I had so much fun and I missed them so much...
After 4 years of being friends with each other, there are things that I realized in our group...
First, enrollment is the only time we really get together on a regular basis...
Second, during this time we ALWAYS end up eating in Chowking (this isn't on purpose)...
Third, all of us loves to watch movies in the cinema...
At least, there are things we ALL enjoy doing together...^_^

Saturday, 20th of December...
After lunch, I went to school with my parents to pay for my enrollment...
I'm an academic half-scholar this term, by the way, which I only have to pay half of my tuition fee...
But I never told my dad...
I have a pretty good reason to keep it from him although I really wanted to tell him...
After I paid, we went to Manila Ocean Park...
There wasn't a lot of people wo decided to enter...
My dad bought the Christmas Package ticket which includes the Glass Bottom Boat Ride and Fish Spa...
There are different kinds of fishes...
It was fun at first but became boring because the fishes became repetitive...
There's not much of variations...
Oh well, at least we were able to enter the facility...
Then we went home to eat dinner...
After dinner, we went to the grocery to buy our weekly supplies and the food for Noche Buena...
At first, I really did not want to go with my parents because I was already tired...
But I got worried because they might buy the wrong ingredients for our Noche Buena in which I'll be the one who will cook and prepare, so I went with them...
Luckily, we were able to buy everything I need...

Sunday, 21st of December...
We attended mass at 3:30 pm...
Our maid is going home to the province for 4 days so we drove her to the bus terminal...
She immediately found a ticket and boarded the bus...
She said she'll come back and I really do hope she comes back...
We're the same age and I like her...
After that we went to the mall, Robinsons Pioneer...
I was supposed to buy my brother an MP3 player but it turned out to be expensive...
So I dropped the idea...
In the end, I wasn't able to buy anything...
We just ate in Old Spahgetti House for dinner...
At least, I came out full from the mall...

Monday (today), 22nd of December...
My mom woke me up because we agreed to go buy gifts for Christmas...
First, we went to the bank to deposit money...
Goint to the salon was also ony my schedule today...
I was planning to get my hair colored and permed but my mom said it will take more than an hour...
Besides, I don't go out much anyway so we rescheduled it on January 2...
After the bank, we went to the mall...
We ate lunch first in Chowking again...
Then, we bought presents for the whole family...
I invited my cousin to spend the Christmas eve with us and they will, so I also bought presents for them...
I'll tell you what I bought for them after Christmas...
When we got home, I wrapped them in gift wrappers and put them under the Christmas tree...
So now, our tree is overflowing with gifts...

Some of the gifts under the Christmas tree

On the Way Home...

Yesterday on our class, I was the last one to went out of the room...
They though I'm scared of the dark so they played a little prank on me...
Our class were the only one left in the building...
They switched off the light and started making weird sounds, calling my name in ghostly voices...
Too bad, I'm not scared of the dark nor of ghosts...
I don't have the ability to see nor feel them...
I want to experience it though...
Don-don was so nice that he waited for me at the door of the room and made sure nothing and no one was left behind...

On the way to the gate, Matthew suddenly started talking about horror stories...
He said he has a lot of them...
So he started telling it to us...
My parents are already waiting outside so he has to make it quick...
The story goes like this...

There is a couple that can't have a child...
So they went to Obando, danced and wished for a child...
Then they went to a fortune teller...
the fortune teller said that they'll be having their first child soon...
She's going to be a white, pretty and smart girl...
When the mother gave birth...
The daughter was nothing like they expected...
The complete opposite of the description the fortune teller gave...
Still, the couple spoiled their child, gave everything she wants...
And on her 3rd birthday, the father asked what she wants...
The daughter said she wanted to go to Baguio City...
Baguio City is on top of a mountain so the road to travel is dangerous...
On the way there, the daughter said she wanted to pee...
There's no gasoline station nor toilets nearby...
So she settled peeing on the side road...
While peeing, the mother pushed her daughter and fell on the cliff...
The daughter died and was forgotten...
Soon after, the couple had another daughter which is white, pretty and smart...
The finally had the daughter they wanted...
On her 3rd birthday, the dad asked her what she wants...
The daughter said she wanted to go to Baguio City...
The same as their first daughter...
Despite their hesitation, they still went and the same thing happened...
The daughter wanted to pee at the same place their first daughter died...
But this time the daughter has something to say to her mother...
The daughter said, "Mom, don't push me again, ok?"...

Hai, the end...
It was predictable to me...
As soon as Matthew said they had their second daughter...
I've already guessed the ending and it turned out I was right...
Maybe I've heard that story somewhere...

I'm not scared of real ghosts and I love horror stories...
But I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to human made horror houses...
I don't know why...
Maybe real life humans are scarier than the dead ones...

Anyway, when we went out of the gate...
I immediately saw my parents...
They were having a date at the walls in front of my school...
Hahaha...They look like teenagers, walking around the walls...
Well, I'm happy they're getting along well ^_^

Also, looks like my brothers are getting along well now...
My eldest brother, Ray, asked my other brother, Lan, to help him with his model who's going to join a beauty contest...
My brother, Ray, is attending a party so he won't be able to accompany his model, so he asked Kuya Lan instead...
The good thing is they're not fighting anymore...
They used to fight a lot...
Oh, correct that one...
We used to fight a lot even about very small things...
Just being near each other is so irritating...
Kuya Lan even left the house June last year when they fought...

I hope my family stays like this forever...
