i'm back! i haven't posted in a really long time... because my computer's busted! i'm in my ma's office right now, because the whole house is a mess. my parents are having the house renovated kasi, that's why sobrang gulo sa house. and because super alikabok these past few days, my parents sent my sisters and i to Edsa Shangri-la for 4 days (mon-thurs). you think i loved it? well, i hate not sleeping in my own bed, but over-all, i enjoyed my stay there. no parental units, more freedom.. but i didn't do much, actually. sunbathed for 2 days - i didn't get nice tan lines, i tell you, ate lunch and dinner at shang, major gala. pero i missed my room.. i still don't have it to myself, coz my parents are staying in my room as well. okay lang, major bonding with them diba? haha
went to USTH with my mama this morning.. had certain tests for my phys exam on tuesday.. kinuhaan ako ng blood nga kanina eh! i was like super duper scared! hahaha. scared of needles kasi eh.. at least it's over..
oooh... call me jologs, but i watched Can this be love? yesterday at shang.. we were like the only ones watching. haha ambaduy ko! i was curious kasi about the movie, that's why we watched it.. it's not like i'm a big fan of sandara and hero. i personally don't like sandara because she's not a filipino, yet people are patronizing her the way they should support a filipino artist. sobrang daya eh. pinayayaman nila hindi naman nila kalahi. pero hero is really cute ah. hahaha :)
my sched's a bit jam-packed this coming week.. i'll be leaving for mimosa tomorrow and will be coming home on sunday. monday - practice at jia's house for her debut. tuesday - physical exam at UST. wed - dentist. saturday - jia's debut sunday-thursday - HK
will be posting again soon. hopefully, before i leave for hk.. haha ;)
btw, i finally got my student permit at LTO last monday. finally.

...
hay. what's new?! got nothing to do na naman. i was supposed to get my student's permit this morning at lto, but i decided against it, because i stayed up late last night, di na quality sleep if i wake up at 7am diba... watched sahara with my papa last night, while the girls watched the wedding date (again). the movie was nice. matthew mcConaughey's body was super nice.. isn't it obvious, that i've become such a movie addict lately? i've always loved watching movies in cinemas but doing it weekly? so impractical. yet, that's what i've been doing this summer. i did something productive though, over the weekend, and just a couple of hours ago. i finally memorized 3 of my 61/2 pg-recital piece, which is If You Believe by Jim Brickman. i think i'm too old for piano recitals. i will be the oldest recitalist ah. 2nd yr college student, still having piano recitals. at least i'm the finale, so it's not THAT embarrassing. hahaha. I also cleaned my closet and gave many of my clothes to my little cousin. Sayang yung mga binigay ko, coz i never used most of them. then i realized, that i always want to buy new things, when in fact i have new things that i never use. i'm too attached with my old things, that i don't want to give them away. which is the main reason why my closet is such a mess. thank God i got to clean it na... i got another thing in line for me, i'm going to enroll in A1 Driving School. haha my parents don't want to teach me how to drive (even though i know how to drive.. stick pa ah!) coz i'm too stubborn, so they told me to look for a driving school, which i'm supposed to be doing right now. but gino's not here, so next time nalng.
like mentioned in my previous post, gino and his band performed at the Music Museum last Saturday. they were the best band there.. i was so proud of Gino. he was just superb. he's the best guitar player in the whole wide world. :) i was the official camerawoman. and they even played gino's song for me - the one he composed especially for me :). i also met his parents - his whole family. i already met his sibings, twice, before saturday. i was so nervous! buti nalng they're so nice.. of course, gino's nice, so malamang mabait din pamilya niya diba?;)
will be updating pictures of last sat's event next time. tamad mag-upload..

ate mae and me last friday @ the country club

I SURVIVED!!
now i can really say that i did survive my 1st year in UST-nursing.. i passed 2nd year! i kinda expected it narin kasi my average was quite okay naman. wait. it was more than okay!! haha :) i'm so happy!! last april 8th, i went to UST nga for confirmation of enrolment.. after seeing my name in the list of qualified 2nd year applicants, i called mama, she told me to treat my sister, cousins, and my friends for lunch. we went to rockwell kasi - minus the friends, coz they couldn't come with me.. so there, we ate at burgoo with gino.. then chi, and the lil girls played bowling, while gino and i watched them lang. hahaha. we went to valle after, coz may swimming lessons si ciara.. rushed home agad coz my mom and i wanted to watch pope's funeral. di na namin naabutan, late na kasi eh. good thing i was able to watch just a portion of his requiem mass at the parlor, that afternoon..
gino has a gig at music museum tonight.. big time na sila.. haha sinwerte.. i'm gonna watch.. tis my 2nd time to watch him play with his band. bad girlfriend? nahh.. i just have so many reasons why i couldn't watch him play before..
i'm enjoying my summer break.. got nothing to do, pero that's okay.. at least i get to rest and all.
because i passed 2nd year, as my dad promised, he'd get me a car.. eto problem: i don't have a license pa.. hahahahahaha!
i watched the wedding date with chi, ate mae, liaa and cara yesterday at eastwood.. it's so nice... grabe.. a real feel-good movie.. i fell in love with nick (the guy in the movie) *sigh*

the game of life
So much has happened since I last posted here.
30 March 2005
Abbie, Erika and I went to Shang this afternoon for lunch and a movie. They picked me up at 12. We had lunch at Mongkok then had to hurry as the movie we were to watch starts at 1.45. Ate and Jr followed us and asked me to buy tickets for them - they too had lunch at Shang - nax, date ba?? Haha. Rowell also followed us. We watched Ms. Congeniality 2. Despite the bad reviews on the movie, I actually found it really really nice. Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses, and she’s right by saying that she doesn’t have to do romantic comedies all the time. She just wants to be a comedian. Makes me wonder too, why if a girl stars as the lead comedienne, she always has to have a leading man, and the movie has to be a romantic comedy? Sandra (first name basis eh noh?) also said she’d be veering away from romantic comedies for a while... too bad coz I love romantic comedies! Before going home, I went to National Bookstore and got 2 Judith McNaught novels (Once and Always & Whitney, My Love - I'm done reading both hahaha)
Last Friday was the 9th day since my great-uncle's death. The Tayag family heard mass at San Roque Church in San Roque, Mandaluyong, where Daddy Toto served until he died. His remains were at the crypt at the basement of the Church. Before heading to the Country club, the family went to the crypt and prayed for Daddy Toto. We had dinner at the Country Club. Complete kami lahat. Complete ang Montalla family. All of Mama's cousins who are still here in Manila were there, except for my 2 uncles (brothers ni mama -may date kasi ata). We left at around 11pm. Nako, puro kami pictures! Caitlin was super cute! She was imitating this Texan accent and kept saying, "Hi, my name's Caitlin! And I'm from Texas!" oooooooooh! Super duper cute. I got it all in my vidcam. Hahaha. Took so many pictures. I'd try to post them, pero the pictures, I think, are in the other computer.. anyway, next time =)
We heard mass last Saturday at 6pm, had dinner at home (because of papa), then went to Rockwell, to watch Ms. Congeniality AGAIN. Yes, I watched the movie twice. I wanted to be with my family, so nagsayang ako ng 130bucks. Hahaha. I slept at around 3.30 that night - I know, Sunday morning na nun, I slept that late coz I was waiting for the latest updates on Pope’s condition. Imagine my frustration when I found out the next morning that Pope passed away on 3.37 am Manila time. I so wanted to hit myself. Anyway, it’s a big loss. Although, I am quite optimistic about the whole thing. As US President Bush said, "A good servant of God has been called home." It’s so much better that the Pope has gone home na, because at least diba hindi na siya maghihirap. I just hope that the next Pope would be just as good as our beloved one who just passed away. I remember how I so wanted to see him back in 1995, when he went to Manila for the World Youth day. My mom woke us up at around 3 so that we'd have a good place at Roxas Blvd, coz we thought that that's where he'd be passing on his way to have a mass at the Quirino Grandstand. He went to UST though on the 2 occasions that he went to the Philippines, which makes me what, a proud Thomasian? Let's put it this way, at least the school has something to be proud of. The university is so proud about saying how we are the Pontifical and Catholic University in the Philippines. Wanna know why? We are the Catholic Univ in the Phil because UST is the only university in the Philippines that the Vatican recognizes as a Catholic institution. It's Pontifical because, if I remember correctly we were oriented about this, the head of the University is the Pope. Hard to believe, pero if you recall those 2 visits of the Pope, sa UST lang siya nagpunta na school diba? Hahaha. I'm gonna look at the seat the Pope sat on when he was here last 1981 and 1995 nga on Friday. I'd be going there to check whether I made it to 2nd year.
I got my grades online last night, and, so far, so good. I got what I deserved. Okay, even if it's against my will to post my grades, I'm not ashamed of it kasi I deserve it - except for my grade in Zoology. I should've gotten a higher mark.

I super duper love my family!!
We went to Daddy Toto's wake last night. His unico hijo (Tito Gary) was there, with his wife Tita Aimee and their cute, adorable little girl, Caitlin - which happens to be my favorite name (for a girl, and I swear I'm gonna name my first baby girl Caitlin). It was the last day as Daddy Toto's body was cremated this morning. I was the official babysitter last night. I wasn't the oldest grandchild there, but then the oldest ones were hanging out with our parents - as they're kinda adults themselves. I took care of, take note, 8 kids. 6 girls and 2 super kulit boys. I was never that close to my second cousins before, and for the first time in my life, I appreciated their presence. And I loved it. I love them. Although they are all super kulit, they make me feel young. Because I am young. Another thing that made me extremely happy last night was Caitlin. She is so adorable. Super cute, and always smiling. She lives in Texas, though, with her parents. It's the first time I've seen her and probably the last (until like 5 years from now?) as they're leaving for Texas on Sunday. I so love my family.
I went to my derma this afternoon, and you'll never guess who was there, consulting my derma... Mariel from Extra Challenge! She's super pretty, but super loud as well. I don't know what she had done, but she kept shouting and reading out loud her text messages, and talking and talking. Not that it made me mad, it made me smile, actually. She's really pretty. But I saw her looking at the mirror a lot. And I mean a lot. Hahaha. Like I said, I went nga to the derma this afternoon, and my face hurts a lot! 4 or 5 of my pimples were injected, but that's okay. Like what my derma said, the motto of every vain woman: No pain, no gain.
I love life! Even if bad things happen to us, there's always something good - something better actually, that's coming our way. And I believe that. I am a believer. *sigh*
right now, i am so not thinking of NURSING or of UST. please, pray for me....

a very holy week
I just got home from church. My mom, chi, ate mae, cousin liaa, and I attended the Easter Vigil that lasted for 2 and a half hours. It was all worth it. I feel more fulfilled, although I don't know why. I want to write about so many things since last Thursday, but I couldn't, since I felt that if I did do that, my mom would barge into the room and once again lecture me about Jesus' suffering and stuff like that. I was so happy that Studio 23 silently answered my prayers by the 11-episode marathon of Gilmore Girls last Maundy Thursday. I was more than happy to watch - I so love the Gilmore Girls. They're the reason why I don’t like to go out on Saturday nights. Babaw I know, but I just love watching them. The bond that Rory and Lorelai have is just something I'm so jealous of. As much as I love having a big and complete family, I envy the bond that Rory and Lorelai have. They are the best of friends, yet they're mother-daughter. How I wish I could talk to my mom about anything and everything - such as boys and stuff. I get to tell her everything naman - like what happens to me in school, the people I encounter, how I feel, and more, but somehow, she’s not exactly 100% supportive of the things I want. but I love her, I really do =) On that same day- Thursday - instead of having our annual Visita Iglesia on Maundy Thursday, we attended the service at the Methodist Church. The Pastor chose Papa to be one of the disciples. Yeah, the pastor washed Papa's feet. And for the first time in my life, I also saw women acting like disciples. That's one of the things I like about the Methodist Church, they're not chauvinists. Anyway, I was extremely proud of my Papa because he helped this really old lady, who had a difficulty walking, walk up the stairs to the altar. My great-uncle, Tito Juanito (Tayag) who we fondly call Daddy Toto, as he was the one who was responsible for my Mama and my aunt's grade school and High school education, passed away last Thursday at 9am. It was really sad. Ate Mae, Chi, Liaa and Cara (my cousins), and I went to his wake last night at Loyola. We all cried when we got there coz the people from his parish were there, leading the rosary and singing Church songs. By the end of the night, I wondered whether I was in a party or in a wake. My uncles entertained all of us (Tayag family) by telling us stories of their schooling experience. It was hilarious. I remembered my great-grandma's wake, it was also like that. It's always like that, whenever my family gets together. And because of this, I have to say that I am proud to be a Tayag. They're all proud of it. My great-grandpa was one of the first medicine graduates at the UST Med School, and yet, his kids weren't at all that bright. Only 3 of his 7 students were the ones who were really smart. They used to be really rich. But my great grandparents died at such an early age. Ironically, the not-so-rich kids my great-grandpa had as scholars (i.e. his nieces and nephews) were the ones who are now really rich and really successful. But despite my family's background, we are all happy. Really happy. It's Holy Week, right? Which made me miss my Paopao and my uncle and aunt more. I so miss them. They're in Baltimore, lonely and all. We're all supposed to be visiting them this year, but because of the things that happened in January, we couldn't go. And I'm not bitter that we wouldn't be able to go there. I'm content with what I have. And I have my family. Couldn't be happier. =) after all, I'd be living in the States right after I pass the boards. About 3 years from now. Sad... I so miss everyone. Missin school (can't believe I'm saying this!!!). I only miss school because I miss my friends. Ahahahaha. We're going out this coming Wednesday naman eh, to watch Ms. Congeniality 2... I might watch MYMP on Wed night too.. and I have to go to Chi's grad party - her class would be having this party and chi asked gino if he could play for them. He's so in demand tlaga. =) I miss him. I miss his voice. I haven't talked to him for 3 days na. He's in Bicol right now eh, but he'd be going home tomorrow. I so can't wait. Mahina signal in Bicol kasi eh, he couldn't call or text me. Pahirapan magtext grabe!! I just love him so much. Because of the man that he is and is trying to be. *haaay*

i went out last friday with inna, abbie, owel, tiff, erika, and a lot more of abbie's friends from tarlac.. oana followed us (she looked pretty with her cute gown ah). we went to greenbelt and watched hitch, which i totally recommend everyone to watch. it's so funny. i like it :-)
my ma, ate, chi and i watched the pacifier 2 nights ago at eastwood.. ahhh... i loved the movie! vin diesel was sooo hot! hahaha watch it you guys.
16 days of waiting for judgment day..
I AM SUCH A BOOKWORM.

i started reading Judith McNaught's Something Wonderful yesterday at 1pm and finished it today at 3.30pm. couldn't keep my hands off the book. i still have another Judith McNaught novel to read and another Jude Deveraux. haha, i don't have money because of these books. the next time i buy a book i'm gonna charge it to my credit card. hahaha

freedom! almost.....
yey! i can't really say yet, but somehow, i want to say that i survived (ooh i hope!!) my first year in college.. i carry with me bittersweet memories.. yeah..
1st sem was definitely more fun than 2nd sem.. first, because subjects were much simpler (but chem, i tell you, was already hell!), didn't have a grueling sched, UAAP basketball games (hahaha, ugh, the bonding moments with abbie, inna and trish - priceless!), and i can say that i made a lot of new friends.. that sad to say, i wasn't able to keep until 2nd sem.. i am still hoping for a reconciliation, but all of us are too proud to approach each other. it was a very little thing made big by some people. there's no more time for blaming each other. it's over. we might never see each other again - not because we'd be kicked out, but because i think the class will be split into two.. uh, as of now, i'm hoping and praying that i make the cut..
know what, the conflict in class? it's nothing to me anymore.. if they talk to me about it, i'd talk to them. but let me reiterate, no one's making any move for things to be okay between all of us. and well, that's fine by me. i don't like bad memories, so i'd like to remember the good ones nalng. Din, stop thinking about it na!!
I'M FREEEEEE!! no more sleeping for 5 hours a night.. no more waking up at 5 in the morning and sleeping in the van until i get to UST.. no more sleeping again in the van before i even get to Quezon Ave! No more waking up at 5 on wednesdays without shampooing! and best of all,,, NO MORE CHEMISTRY!! 2 semesters of chemistry just made my first year in college a REAL CHALLENGE. and i'm SO NOT SARCASTIC. for all incoming freshmen nursing students at UST, if you LOVED chemistry in high school, you're so gonna hate it this time! Now i can proudly say that i have been through general, inorganic, organic and biochemistry!! now beat that! hahahahaha!
today was my last day as a frosh.. and hopefully, i make it to second year.. indeed a lot of memories that i will keep until my last breath - uh, i do have a flair for the dramatic.
april 8th - Judgment day for frosh nursing students in UST.. the college'll be posting the qualified students for 2nd year.. Oh Lord i hope i make it... man! 2 weeks of worrying!!!!!!! deja vu! *flashback* december 2003 until january 10th 2004 - waiting for the results of the ACET. i was a nervous wreck because of that.. but i'm happy with the result :) i hope i'm happy with the result this time too.... i don't have any grade below 80... yet i'm so nervous.. HELLO??? THE CUT-OFF!!!! ayoko na. I'm bad in chem kasi eh.. makes me nervous kasi i know that my grade in chem would probably be 2.75! and that's 5 units! zoo pa! 5 units! 10 units of science. pero that's okay.. :) it's over. and i did my sorta best naman in the finals. had to make major bawi! and i made bawi :)
they say that if you don't get nervous anymore, you should get nervous.. is that a good sign?
1st sem was definitely more fun than 2nd sem.. first, because subjects were much simpler (but chem, i tell you, was already hell!), didn't have a grueling sched, UAAP basketball games (hahaha, ugh, the bonding moments with abbie, inna and trish - priceless!), and i can say that i made a lot of new friends.. that sad to say, i wasn't able to keep until 2nd sem.. i am still hoping for a reconciliation, but all of us are too proud to approach each other. it was a very little thing made big by some people. there's no more time for blaming each other. it's over. we might never see each other again - not because we'd be kicked out, but because i think the class will be split into two.. uh, as of now, i'm hoping and praying that i make the cut..
know what, the conflict in class? it's nothing to me anymore.. if they talk to me about it, i'd talk to them. but let me reiterate, no one's making any move for things to be okay between all of us. and well, that's fine by me. i don't like bad memories, so i'd like to remember the good ones nalng. Din, stop thinking about it na!!
I'M FREEEEEE!! no more sleeping for 5 hours a night.. no more waking up at 5 in the morning and sleeping in the van until i get to UST.. no more sleeping again in the van before i even get to Quezon Ave! No more waking up at 5 on wednesdays without shampooing! and best of all,,, NO MORE CHEMISTRY!! 2 semesters of chemistry just made my first year in college a REAL CHALLENGE. and i'm SO NOT SARCASTIC. for all incoming freshmen nursing students at UST, if you LOVED chemistry in high school, you're so gonna hate it this time! Now i can proudly say that i have been through general, inorganic, organic and biochemistry!! now beat that! hahahahaha!
today was my last day as a frosh.. and hopefully, i make it to second year.. indeed a lot of memories that i will keep until my last breath - uh, i do have a flair for the dramatic.
april 8th - Judgment day for frosh nursing students in UST.. the college'll be posting the qualified students for 2nd year.. Oh Lord i hope i make it... man! 2 weeks of worrying!!!!!!! deja vu! *flashback* december 2003 until january 10th 2004 - waiting for the results of the ACET. i was a nervous wreck because of that.. but i'm happy with the result :) i hope i'm happy with the result this time too.... i don't have any grade below 80... yet i'm so nervous..

well..
jaye texted me last night.. well, to tell the story in a brief way, we're okay na - i hope. just had this misunderstanding. wouldn't go much into the details, it might get big again.
changed my layout... for the nth time.. hahaha nice namn diba?
gino had lunch here, coz i don't have classes until tomorrow.. we studied together, while taking care of margaux.. she's just so adorable.. then he left na for school, coz he's having his nat sci finals today.. i hope he does good.. he hasn't been sleeping well, coz of the countless requirements for school. i, on the other hand, have been that way for 2 semesters already. i'm so used to it.
i really have to study for zoo and chem.. and finish my english paper. why am i online?? stress-reliever i guess.
every time i think of zoo and chem, i blame myself for being in UST. i'm supposed to be studying in ateneo. i know it's much harder there, but hello? at least i'm taking up a course i really want. diba? enough of that. enjoy nalng what's left of my freshman year at UST. can't believe the school year's about to end na. i hope i make it to second year. *prays hard*
pray for me guys!!

just another day and i had the best day of my life
last friday was fun.. one of the happpiest days of my life..
"Woke up around a half past ten
Can’t believe that I’m late again...
just the same old same..
it goes to show you'll never know, when everything's about to change..."
just like in Jesse McCartney's song - Best day of my life, i woke up really late last friday.. exag na late. on mondays, wednesdays and fridays, i usually wake up at 5:20 because i have to leave the house promptly at 6:00 am. For some reason, i woke up at 5:57 last friday. i didn't eat breakfast anymore and left the house at around 6:15. i move pretty fast, but badtrip coz i wasn't able to have nga breakfast.
When i got to school, the glitterati peeps were a bit scared nga coz of the monday incident in fil class. eh we have fil at 7 - first class. thank God, everything turned out well. our prof wasn't mad at us anymore (i hope). then we have lib work in eng, which we didn't do, coz oana, jaye and i wanted to have brunch at jollibee. afterwards we had a quiz and post-lab in chem lab. btw, lipids is the stupidest topic discussed in biochem. i so hate it. i ended up leaving the lab smiling because i passed the post lab in proteins. :-) we had dessert nalang in the readers' cafe during lunch break and went back to SA. i passed both post-labs so again, that made my day...
afterwards, jaye and i went to st. paul to pick up my sisters. chi, as usual, was late again. so jaye, ciara and i went to shang na. i had to buy a gift for ems kasi eh. we went to her debut in antipolo later that night. it was sooooo far from civilization. parang province na nga ata un. man, the roads that we had to pass to get to the party was creepy! so dark and puro cliffs. oana, jaye and i scared each other nga eh. we got lost pa! we entered the wrong resort! hahahahaha! i insisted that my driver, kuya zaldy, shouldn't leave anymore coz super scary ng place. abbie and inna were late, also because they got lost den! we left the party right after the 18 candles (at around 11) because of my curfew. we went to cloud 9 and starbucks muna pala before going home. in cloud 9, inna's slipper got ruined! haha sweet ni jaye coz he gave inna a piggyback ride on the way to the van. such a gentleman tlaga...
that day, i realized that i'm so lucky to have friends like abbie, inna, oana, and jaye. ems' own barkada didn't attend her party. but we went there. and we weren't even that close. just shows who your real friends are. we're not there for the party. we're there coz ems needs people to show support and love for her. *sigh* such a wonderful day.
when i got home, i talked pa to gino. while we were talking, i told him that i had to pray muna. then, the next thing i know, it's already 5:22 in the morning, and the phone was still in my ear. i fell asleep while talking to him! i felt soooo bad.. pero what can i do? i was so tired. he even said na i was snoring. hahahahaha! bakit ba?! i'm tired eh! :-)
have to study pa.. prac exam on tuesday re muscles and quiz in zoo lec on tuesday rin re muscular and respiratory systems. waaah! i can do this!!
**** birthday ko na next monday!****

eve of the dreaded V-day
ever since i could remember, i despised Valentine's day. maybe because i never had a special someone to share that day with. *except maybe last year, and this year, and hopefully in more years to come* my glitterati peeps decided to exchange flowers and chocolates this time, as they all didn't have special someones to share this day with.. unfortunately for me, V-day is on a monday, and gino has a gig at PLM at that same day.. last year has got to be the best Valentine ever.. gino and i were to watch Milan (yes i know, baduy? haha nice movie naman eh) with my 2 sisters and my neighbors. after watching the movie, we all went to eastwood to meet up with mark (my neighbor also). when we got home, there was a huge bouquet of white roses (my favorite) at my bed. obviously, they're from gino. it's just so sweet. *sigh* makes me miss him more. :-)
gino is always the mature one in our relationship. he always scolds me about stuff. like when i'm insensitive to my sisters and when i make him kwento the maldita stuff i do. makes me appreciate him more. i miss you sweetie:)
i hope everyone has a happy Valentine.
To my barx: i miss you! *hugs for everyone* Love you girls!
To jia: Thank God you and Job are back together. :-)
To my best friend, Kaye: okay lang kahit wala kang valentine, enjoy mo lang pagiging single
gotta go. chem lab quiz tomorrow.
