happy halloween!

Okay, so I'm 1 hour and 30 minutes late. I mean for Halloween. So what? haha

Jia and I went out last Saturday. She needs someone to talk to because she's sad again. Her mom left for the States kasi na naman eh. And I miss her too so I met up with her even though my mom and I had plans. Sinama ko nalang siya sa lakad namin ni Mama. Mama's cool with it anyway, she loves having my friends around. Wala naman kasi akong kaibigang masama eh, lahat mabait :) We had lunch at Cravings in Shang then went to VVCC afterwards. Mama had her hair done, then Chi played tennis. Kwentuhan lang kami ni Jia. Funny is we're starting to be like my mom and her friends, desperately trying to bring back the old times. Reminiscing on our high school days, trying to fill in on what's been going on with our own lives, that sort of thing. I want to go back to high school, seriously. Mas masaya. I mean happy naman ako with my life right now, but college is more complicated than high school. Hay.

Just got home from Zambales. Had so much fun with my cousins. We stayed at this beach resort. As in kaming magpipinsan lang. Sobrang saya. Ate Gay, Ate Joy, Chi and I went for a late night swim last night, then had snacks before going to bed. KJ lang nga ni Ate Mae, she went home (to our house in Zambales den, she didn't want to stay. Nagpapashots kay Papa coz she wanted to go home kanina). So Kaming 5 lang nila Te Gay, Te Joy, Chi, and Kuya Louie nagstay. Thanks to both my ates, for the food. Sila kasi nagttrabaho na so sila nagbayad sa lahat ng kinain namin. In fairness, I went to bed early ha. I was soo tired from the trip. Tapos when we were having breakfast this morning, Ate Mae arrived in the resort and told us that we were all going home today den, when the real plan was for us to go home tomorrow pa. Not that I'm complaining, okay lang saken kahit ano. But I'm sad for Nanay and Tatay. Wawa naman sila. Mamimiss na naman nila kami.

I'm so lucky to be part of this family. We're not perfect, not rich, but we love each other, and just being with each other is enough for us. Kahit kami-kami lang, sobrang enjoy na enjoy na kami. We overlook all the bad things around us and make fun of them instead. We're always happy when we're together.I missed being with my cousins. Hirap kasi nagwwork na sila eh. I feel sorry for Kuya Louie though, 'cause he's the only boy. Wawa naman. He feels out of place most of the time kasi di siya makarelate sameng mga girls.

never mind the person, nice view


feeling artistic :) nice kasi eh


if you look closely, in the right half of this picture, it's actually raining. Na-amaze ako eh, I was staring at this picture nga kanina for like 5 minutes, haha when I saw it yesterday sa beach, na in our area it was kinda sunny, and in that area it was raining, I took a picture agad, then it rained na.


me and ate gay this morning. It was so sunny kasi eh. Nawala tuloy mga mata ko. Ate's so pretty noh?

anything for you

Mixed emotions day for me yesterday. I went to school at 8 so I could have breakfast with Oana before the enrollment supposedly at 10. By 9.30, we were already in line. At 12, the line didn't move AT ALL. The College secretary told us to have lunch then would be advised when enrollment will resume. Apparently, ust's server was down. Minutes later, a txt msg was sent to our Class President, telling us that we could go home and just come back the next day. Of course I was more than happy to leave, after all I had a lunch date with my family because it was Mommy Solly's birthday. On my way to Galleria, Matt (class prez) texted me and told me to be back by 2pm that afternoon for enrollment, or I could come back the next morning. So when I got to Mr. Choi's kitchen in Galleria, I quickly ate my food then went to Jesse Mendez to schedule my haircut for 5pm that day. I arrived in UST at 2.30 and found most of my blockmates still waiting outside the gate of the Seminarian gym. Surprise surprise, they didn't allow us to enter. I really wanted to punch the guard's face coz he was so damn insensitive. He was calling for the CFAD students to enter, when in fact, their college's enrollment was moved to October 29! Hello?! I'm not a violent person, but UST just went too far. When we got in, Rowell, my classmate last year, told us that we could only enlist for a PE Subject. I didn't get the PE sched I wanted, but that's okay. I tend to look on the brighter side nowadays, but moving on, after enlisting for PE, it's a good thing we didn't leave the place kaagad. After like 10 mins outside the gym, they told us that we could enroll na, which took about an hour, but that's okay. At least I don't have to go back to UST until Nov 7th.

After enrolling, I arrived in Galle at 5pm, just in time for my appointment. I had this radical change. Hello bangs. I feel weird having these short bangs. The stylist accidentally cut my bangs short when I just wanted a few strands of my hair cut. So now I look 5 years younger. Prepare to see the new Din.

So this is how I looked like right after enrollment.

Happy!


new hair - 5 inches shorter!


With Daddy. He doesn't want to smile! Gwapo pa naman!


With Tita Grace :)


Nina sent me this hyperlink on The Interview With God. It was really touching. Here's the poem, from theinterviewwithgod.com

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
"So you would like to interview me?" God asked.
"If you have the time" I said.
God smiled. "My time is eternity. What questions do you have in mind for me?"

"What surprises you most about humankind?"

God answered...
"That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."

"That they lose their health to make money...and then lose their money to restore their health."

"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived."

God's hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...

"As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"

"To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."

"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."

"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."

"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."

"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings."

"To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently."

"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said, "Just know that I am here... always."

I was so touched with this poem that I cried upon reading it. For it to be touching, visit the link above. With the music and the beautiful pictures, with of course the poem, who wouldn't cry?!
I had a chance to share my own reflection with Trisha, coz I found her online an hour ago, right after I read the poem. Apparently, she also cried when she read the poem. Now I don't feel so horrible and I don't feel like I'm the worst person in the world. God makes everything A-Okay for me. I don't feel poor every time I look at my empty wallet, because surely, having a wallet is something already right? Now I would live my life to the present. Carpe diem is one of my favorite quotes, yet I don't do that. I live for the future. I do every homework, answer my exams, simply because I want to be able to provide for myself after I graduate for college.

Every quote on the poem struck me. But let me ponder more on this quote,
"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
I'm not a hypocrite when I say I forgive those who have wronged me. Because I do sincerely forgive those who have hurt me. But honestly, just like most of you people, I tend to assess the whole situation for a moment, let myself feel the pain, then when I'm ready, I forgive. And when I forgive, I TRY to forget how the person had hurt me. And when I couldn't, I remind myself that what that person did made me a better person. But I couldn't forgive myself when I do things to hurt others. I know I'm really hard on myself, but that's just how I am. I try to be perfect, but I can't. I try not to be mean to others, yet when i am mean to others, right after that I laugh, but deep inside, I think, "Oh no, what have I done?" You know what I mean? The guilt that I feel is just killing me. And that guilt stays with me for days. So I have to forgive myself also for doing such mean things. To those people whom I have hurt one way or another, I'm sorry. Really sorry. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks nins for the link. I now feel so enlightened and so blessed. I feel so lucky to be alive.

Right after I visited the link above, I entered the site , and found another one, which is Pathways to peace. This site has quotes from famous people and they are also touching.

On joy:
"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive."- Eleonora Duse

On kindess:
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."- Mark Twain

On faith:
"Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light."- Helen Keller

On courage:
"This is courage... to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends."- Euripedes

On hope:
"Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark."- George Iles

On love:
"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."- Mother Teresa

On patience:
"Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on, Hold fast, Hold out. Patience is genius."- Comte Georges Louis Leclerc de Buffon

On determination:
"The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving."- Oliver Wendell Holmes

and the most striking quote of all..

On gratitude:

God is everywhere. I sound like a disciple, but I guess I am one. So are you. :)

wonderful day

I had a wonderful day today. I went online real early today because I wanted to see my grades before going out. After an hour of being online with no results, I decided to disconnect, but found myself chatting with my best friend. Just when I told her that I had to leave na because Gino would be here any minute, I checked UST's website again, and luckily, I was able to view my grades. That was at around 11.58. Got okay grades, by the way, I expected to get lower grades, and the moment I saw my grades, I muttered an excited "Thank You God!" He answered my prayers. Although I know I shouldn't be that surprised since I'm the one responsible for my grades right? I got a surprising 1.25 in Basketball. Haha Being part of the unbeatable team sure has its perks.

After seeing my grades, I took a quick shower (Gino was at the living room already by that time), then Gino, Margaux, Yaya and I went to *tada* Riverbanks Mall. Haha I wanted to treat Gogo to Jollibee kasi eh. At the same time, I wanted to go to Wellcom to check out the Asus M303 phone I've been wanting to buy. Hopefully my parents will give me the money by this week. *keeping my fingers crossed* Don't think I'm shallow for wanting to buy this phone. It's been 2 years since I changed phones. I wanted to get the SE Z800i but then it was way over my budget. Just being practical.

Enrollment tomorrow. Have to wake up early tomorrow. Di na sanay. It's Mommy's birthday tomorrow. We're going to have lunch at some Chinese resto. That's right after I go to school. Then I'm going to have my hair trimmed. Finally. Mama doesn't want me to have my hair cut. So I told her, I'm going to have my hair trimmed instead. I'm not going to anything crazy with my hair, I need to have long hair for my RLE. It's hard to put your hair in a bun when it's short eh. Seriously, my mom's weird. When I was younger, she hated it when I had long hair. She'd always have it cut REALLY SHORT. With bangs. Talk about radical. As if my hair then would make me beautiful. I admit to looking bad or awful when I was younger. I wasn't that pretty. I don't see myself as that pretty right now anyway. That's going to be so conceited of me naman. Just right is okay for me :)

enjoying the life

I just finished the entire Season 2 of The OC. I couldn't believe I actually cried. I'm a crybaby, but it seems as though the Cohens and Coopers are the most problematic families in the entire world. Marissa actually killed Trey?! I hate Trey, he made life in OC more complicated.

The OC-done, Desperate Housewives-next. Since I have nothing to do at home since it's our sem break, I've been doing a lot of catching up on all the TV series I've missed. After finishing Desperate Housewives, I'll start looking for my Harry Potter Book 5 (which we purchased on the day it was launched in the p.i., yet I never set eyes on the pages). And hopefully finish it before the sem break ends. I also have this small project to do. I'm doing my scrap book, since I won't have time to do it this December and on Summer.

I love this kind of life. And by the way, I am not at all gaining weight since I cut back on the carbs. I only eat when I'm hungry, which is good, I think.

I spent the day with Kaye yesterday. We had a lot of fun window shopping at shang, then going to Rockwell with my Mom & sisters for dinner. We shopped at Zara afterwards. The store's pretty nice. With items like those of Mango and Marks & Spencer, but with cheaper prices, about 25% cheaper. Or 15% cheaper than the abovementioned stores. What was funny during our Powerplant trip was seeing the entire FEU team. Haha man it was awkward (not for me, of course). The entire team started hooting and teasing JR when they saw my sister, to which all the people in the area (near Zara and the fountain) looked at these tall men and whispered to each other, 'diba FEU yun?' Jonas looked gwapo, accdg to my mom. He used to always come by my house, yet we never saw him smile the way he smiled last night. Was it because they're champions? Hmm.

I'm still in the process of making my new layout, but I'm actually just trying to change the color. Just haven't had the chance to upload it. As if you'd notice the difference. :)

Okay, I posted a really long entry and it didn't show. Grr.

Sem break finally. Been living THE life since last friday, after my finals on Fundamentals. Thank God it's over. Thank God the sem's over. I so need this break. 3 weeks of rest and fun and rest. So far I have been doing nothing except watch The OC (season2), watch dvds I bought but never watched, since I didn't have the time to watch, and just chill. Ganito ko nung summer, minus the food lang, coz I'm still trying to lose weight, or maintain my current health status :) A lot of my Titas have been telling me that I lost a lot of weight. Sana totoo eh. Haha

Last friday was, well, bittersweet. Had so much fun with my peeps. Glitterati reunion plus a lot of honorary members of the group (we like to joke about this kinda thing). We watched Deuce Bigalow 2. What a waste of money. But I enjoyed the movie because I was with my friends. Had a lot of laughs, but it's not worth my Php120. Walang kwenta sobra. We spent the whole day together, because we all had plans for the evening. I missed being with them. Too bad Gra wasn't able to come. Something unexpected happened last Friday. One of our batchmates (UST-nursing; section2-5) passed away Friday night. He got shot at the Chest in P.Florentino St., near Lacson St. I heard he was a really nice guy. Most of my newfound friends in our class are close friends with him. Condolences to his family. May he rest in peace..

Spent the entire weekend with my family. Not that I'm complaining, I love being with them :)
I was Chi's driver last Saturday. Brought her to VVCC for her tennis practice. Went to Shang afterwards. Didn't enjoy my Saturday much. Mas naenjoy ko pa siguro kung nagchill nalang ako sa house at nanood ng OC. Sunday was fun though. I woke up at around 11.57am coz I stayed up till 2 watching The OC and The Wedding Date. Had lunch at Tita Arlene's coz it was Luigi's birthday, then immediately went home afterwards for siesta. Woke up at 4.30 coz we had to attend mass at 5pm. Went to Powerplant right after mass and had dinner at Kaya (missed Korean food). We saw a lot of our parents' friends. The highlight of the night was seeing Matteo Guidicelli. I wasn't at all starstruck, probably because I know he's younger than me. Since he's Chi's crush, I approached him and asked if I could have a picture with him. He was rather nice, even had his hand on my back while I had my picture taken with him. Ginawa ko yun para sa kapatid ko ha. Nahihiya kasi si Chi magpapicture, so kinapalan ko muna mukha ko.

Almost over

I haven't exactly posted how I really felt yesterday as I was chatting with my best friend trisha while browsing thru andy's website. I haven't been online for a week already and I feel as though I've missed out on a lot. I haven't been watching a lot of TV these past few weeks and I'm definitely happy that the sem's almost come to an end. It has been short and long at the same time. Short - it seems as though it were only yesterday when classes started, and long because well, school has never been this tough. Although a lot of our professors tell us that 3rd year is a whole lot tougher than what we're having now. Not that I'm looking forward to that. Come next sem we'd be having 10 hours worth of duty weekly. I wasn't expecting it, but what the heck. Love the experience :)

I didn't have Ana-Physio this morning. Or yesterday morning. I only have PE today. Finals. Nyak. No biggie, PE lang yun.

Change topic.

I thought Tom Cruise was sterile? Coz Nic Kidman never conceived and one of the reasons Cruise divorced Kidman was because she got pregnant daw and everyone knew that Cruise wasn't the dad because he was like infertile. Now, accdg to People Magazine, (accdg to Cruise's publicist actually) Katie Holmes is pregnant and Tom Cruise is expecting his first baby with her. Okay. This is a bizarre world.

More than what I asked for

God is so good. These past few days, He really made me feel extra special. I got more than what I asked for. I'm just so happy.

I asked for strength, He gave me confidence, strength, wisdom, and a bit of luck. Praise God. :)

Humility does pay off sometimes. Admitting to yourself and to others that you feel weak doesn't make you a loser. It just means that you're true.

surprisingly, i'm still alive

I'm still alive. Thank you Lord.

I just hope I'll be able to survive these next 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to sembreak. I desperately need the break. I'm so happy it's Friday today. I can sleep for at least 8 hours. Whoo!

Hayop na ko magbasketball! Naka-8points ata ako kanina! With assists pa yun ha! I was actually surprised with my hidden talent. Haha :) Feeling star player naman ang bruha hahahaha!

I just want the semester to end.

I'm gonna be having my orals next tuesday. Dang, I hope I do good and not mess up. I need to pull up my grade in English. Ooh. I'm super duper nervous already.

Since I became a college student, I was kind of over getting mediocre grades. I pushed myself to my limits, and now, I'm really frustrated with the outcome. I guess I should've just relaxed a bit. I tired myself too much, got grades I didn't deserve, and left no time for myself. Tanga. I just don't want to disappoint my parents. :(

Life goes on..

I miss High School. A lot.

A series of unfortunate events

I hate this weekend. I feel like I'm the unluckiest person in the world. Can anyone be more malas than me? I don't think so.

Been in school non-stop for a week. Had a four-hour duty yesterday and had my NSTP finals this morning. I still have to finish my micro report, NCP, homework on the make-up shift, reflection paper, and study for 2 quizzes on my "favorite" subject, Funda. Grr.

No time for rest. No time to chill.

2 weeks to go before sembreak. I can't wait.

school spirit!

4-peat! The UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe won the Cheerdance Competition yesterday. Thank God. I thought UP was gonna win, although I feel bad for them coz they didn't bag first place. Sorry to all the UP supporters, but they were sorta mayabang kasi eh. Especially their courtside reporter. Magaling naman kayo eh. In fairness, I don't know how we won 1st place. Compared to last year's performance, the Salinggawi's performance was a drag. The stunts were good though. La Salle did great also, big improvement from last year. I remember yesterday, when Boom announced that UP got 2nd place, I started shouting and jumping, then I immediately sat down and looked at my sister. She told me, "Ate, what if La Salle pala panalo?" Ahahahaha! I was like, "Alis na tayo dito agad kasi sobrang nakakahiya!"

Used up all my 2-week savings in one day. I was overwhelmed with our win that I went shoe shopping in Gateway after. I told Chi I wanted a new pair of slippers, so we went to PRP, then I got a cute pair of white slippers. Then we went to Rustan's 'cause I needed a new pair of black shoes for school and I wanted to buy from Aerosoles. When I was there, Chi saw the Havaianas section, and all the pairs I want were there. So I ignored what I really needed and bought 2 pairs of havaianas which I only want, not need. I also bought the black shoes, after I purchased the Hava slippers. Funny thing is, I don't get to wear the slippers often since I'm always in school. My sister told me nalang that we're going to the beach on sembreak naman eh.

I'm supposed to attend a seminar for NSTP this afternoon, but I had no idea we had a seminar. So I didn't attend, and now I don't know how in the world I'm going to pass NSTP. Why does it have to be online anyway?!?

Quiz day tomorrow. Done with CHN and MCR-PRS Lec. Still have 3 subjects to study for. Good luck to me.

Still loving life. Even if I had conjunctivitis last week (Wed-Fri). Sore eyes. I looked so stupid in school. Imagine, it was raining real hard, and I was wearing big dark glasses. I looked like a weird bug. Bug-eyed is what I call it. People were making fun of me, but it's the trend, accdg to my mom. Although not the eyes, the glasses lang. I hope I could wear my contacts na tomorrow because I'm having a hard time seeing things with my glasses since these don't have the correct grades for my eyes.

Few weeks before sembreak!

Roger won

I knew it.

He won against Agassi. A well-fought match. I like them both.

Roger's still unbeatable. I wonder who can and will beat him.

I hope it's Andy. But Andy's only won 1 game (I think) against him and that was 2 or 3 years ago at Montreal.

Back to studying.

Pacman won

Wala lang, gusto ko lang sabihin na nanalo si Pacquiao. Nakakatuwa eh. Natalo niya si Velazquez. I don't really watch boxing because I think it's a very violent sport. I hate seeing my fellow countrymen in bruises and being hit by other people. I'm terrified of seeing people with blood dripping all over their faces or their bodies - funny since I'm taking up Nursing. I just don't like seeing people get hurt. Period.

Jia came over last night since it was Chi's birthday. Ria and Nina couldn't make it eh, sayang. I miss Trisha so much. My mom misses her too. :(

I logged on to Andy's website again just now, and Andy left a message for all his supporters. Here it goes:

Message From Andy
By Andy Roddick 2005-09-08

Hey all!! first and foremost i wanna apologize for my us open. i was more prepared for that tournament than i have ever felt before. unfortunately, that did not translate. i am not going to lie. this loss cut deeper than any one i have ever had. i am normally pretty good about bouncing right back, and having a good outlook on things starting the next day. this one took a little while though. i had to remove myself from everything. it was tough to get away from it, considering it was a pretty hot topic of conversation around the country. i am lucky enough to have great friends who really took time out to hang out. I am ready now though. i am ready to put all of this behind me, and start my preparation for trying to get back to number one next year. as weird as it sounds, losses almost motivate more than success. i cannot wait to play davis cup in a couple of weeks, and am looking forward to a strong fall season.

Even though my loss was upsetting personally, there has been a tragedy in the world in the form of hurricane katrina. i think we all need to realize how lucky we are to be healthy. i truly feel blessed. it makes our day to day problems seem rightfully petty. i also love how our country reacts to adversity, and we all truly become one to help in the fight. i ask that each of u take a second and just realize how lucky we all are.

I am going to end this ramble on a positive note. i cannot express how excited i am for robby ginepri and james blake. they have been friends of mine for a long time, and the whole group was catching flak earlier in the summer for not producing results. people were saying that i was the only American, save andre, capable of making a real run in a slam..... they quieted a lot of doubters, and i can't wait til next year when we are all healthy and playing well. i hope everyone reading this was as lucky as me and got the chance to watch the agassi/blake match last night. it was unreal tennis played by the two best sportsmen in the game. i have never been so conflicted watching a match, but it was an absolute privilege to watch. i am so happy for james to be doing well after the year he had last year. to come back from what he went through even better than before is a real testament to his character.

Lastly, i want to thank all of u for your support. i love u guys and cannot thank u enough

andy
*******************************************************

Yup, didn't edit any word. Straight from andyroddick.com. I hope he does well next season. If only I could watch all of his Davis Cup games.. *sigh*I went to Metrowalk with my family for dinner. I so love Papa! He bought the complete 2nd season of The OC for me! Yey! I will be watching it on sembreak. Few more weeks til Sembreak. I can't wait.

Crazy

Crazy week. We had the feedback for our prelims and I did okay. At least not bad, just okay. I'm content with okay. I have to work harder this grading period though. It's never too late for anything.

Since last Wednesday, I have been driving myself to school, and since I leave at 5.40 a.m., I arrive in school very early. I realized that now I have the time to spend with the Lord. No more excuses. So instead of the rest I desperately want and kind of need, I go to Church and hear mass instead. I thought I'd feel bad about it, but it actually feels good. There's this something in me that makes me think 'hey, anything bad can happen, but God won't let anything bad happen to me.' It’s like as if I know I'm being guarded by someone or this higher Being. Now I'm more confident with things like school and driving - which I used to be so afraid of.

What a day! We had Ana-Physio at 7 and as usual, the prof arrived at 7.45. Duh. Anyway, we weren't supposed to have a quiz in Digestive System. All he said yesterday was that we should read the chapter on digestive system because we might have a graded recitation on the system. I didn't bother to read last night since I was too tired from duty. But some of my classmates were kind of noisy and the prof got pissed at us, so he gave us a 30 point quiz on Digestive System. I so wanted to strangle him for that. I didn't read the chapter. Didn't even open the book. Lakas ng loob ko eh noh?

He dismissed us right after the quiz, which was at around 8.30. We left for ABS-CBN since we had to do an activity for NSTP. We had lunch at Teriyaki Boy in Tomas Morato at around 11 then went back to Abbie's condo to change for PE. PE was a drag. I thought we'd be playing, but thank God we didn't play. We officiated the game and I was part of the 'committee' coz I was the one keeping the scores. I fell asleep an hour 4 quarters later (8 quarters all in all since there were 2 games). I asked my groupmates to wake me up when someone scores and tell me their jersey numbers. =)

I went to the Country club after school, coz that's where I changed clothes prior to going to Shang. I met my sisters in CPK, and had early dinner there. I also bought Chi a gift in Bayo. Lucky girl ha. I have been saving for a week now since I want to buy something really really fancy for myself. Nabawasan na savings ko. That’s okay. I won’t spend nalang next week. I met Ria outside Bayo and she had dinner at Bon Appetit. I had Tiramisu since I already had dinner. I so missed her.

LAST SUNDAY

Papa and Mama


Papa laughing at something Chi did to piss me off again

deep

I'm enjoying learning, but I'm not enjoying receiving my testpapers. Ugh.
School sucks haha

No classes daw tomorrow? There's gonna be a rally tomorrow (as reported by ABS-CBN), because of the opposition. They're obviously not happy with the trashed impeachment complaint against PGMA. Ginugulo pa kasi nila mundo natin. I believe in Rule of Law, and it's about time we stop going to the streets whenever we don't get what we want. Most of the congressmen in the opposition are young and they're still not used to the kind of politics we have. They want change, so do I, but ousting the President isn't gonna improve our country's economy. We need a steady government. And who will be put to office in case PGMA is ousted? Noli de Castro?

We are in deep sh*t.

Missed Gilmore Girls

Had fun at Karen's debut last night. The one thing that really bugged me though was that I missed the first episode of Gilmore Girls' Season 5. I'm so addicted to that series, I swear.

Back to Karen's debut, everyone looked so beautiful. The Glitterati, self-confessed camera whores, were our usual selves, taking pictures of each other. I missed everyone. Half of our group are in 2-7 already, and we can't do anything about it. What really surprised everyone, especially **y* was EVAN! We didn't expect him to be there! Haha :) It's so sad that he broke up with his girlfriend. I mean, he traded UST to be with his girlfriend in FEU, and well, that's none of my business so I really shouldn't elaborate on it. Anyway, Evan looked handsome! Haha kakatuwa. Reunion talaga.

Since I don't get to watch the US Open every single day, I didn't know that James Blake defeated Rafael Nadal. Cheers for James! I like him. Coz he's Andy's friend and teammate in the Davis Cup :) Also because he's good. Harvard student-turned tennis pro. Nax. Rafael Nadal's good also. James prolly needed the win. I miss Mardy Fish. He's still injured I think, but I'd like to see him on court again. I was able to watch Roger Federer's match with Santoro (don't know the first name). I bet Roger's grab the US Open title this year. I don't like him like him, but he looks like a really nice guy so I can't hate him. I just wish Andy would beat him.

I still have to finish the activity thing for our NSTP.
