too bad for me time management isn't one of my skills. there are days (like the past 14) when i sleep at some ungodly time in the morning doing god-knows-what until i evetually fall asleep from fatigue. then i wake up the next day trying to figure out why i seem to not have done anything of value the day before. then we have the moments when i seem to have totally blanked on a meeting i should have gone to or homeworks i should've done. those instances when you get dizzy thinking about whether it was because your memory failed you or it was really written on you to-do-list but apparently was overlooked because of the hundred things you thought you had to do.

then things get carried over. your mom comes home and tells you to sleep but you can't cause you have to finish a project. she still tells you to sleep cause nothing's gonna be worth it if you're dead the next day. but, of course, you continue working anyway. people telling you "you look tired" or "did you get sleep" seems to be the regular topic of conversation. you start wondering why you even bother doing certain things but give up at the thought cause you're too tired to even think about arguing with yourself.

then come the breaking points. you find you can't concentrate on the lectures because of the continuous lack of sleep.the dreaded low test scores. when, in the middle of eating during lunch time, you feel you can't keep your eyes open any longer. the frustration over a really stupid mistake that you knew you could've avoided.

thank god for holy kettle corn, alvin's supply of mentos dalandan and good friends. patay na siguro ako kung wala kayo.

i know its probably ~~a little~~ very late to be talking about my sem break but i don't care. i think it was the most *ehem* "productive" one i had. on the last day of school before sem break, i watched The Legend of Zorro with mayee and reggie. the next day, isaw, binky and elaine went to my house. we just bummed. ate-talked-bummed. that saturday was the first time i ever went to a charity feeding, at night i went to the circle 102 eval.

*stopping when i entered the house*

me: (thinking) okayyy, why is everyone looking at me?

*after 5 seconds*

me: (thinking) okay, who is that that looks like gliza?

*after 5 MORE seconds*

me: (thinking) shyet! that IS gliza!

*after realizing what was going on*

me: (in the middle of the meeting) TOTOO BA YAN?!

good one gli.

that sunday i was bored so i went with my cousin's family to glorietta. we parked there then i wondered why we weren't walking towards the mall... we were gonna ride the mrt to gateway. so, after (i think) 4 years, i rode the mrt from glorietta to cubao. i don't remember when exactly but after i got home i received a call from my ate crissy...

*picks up the phone*

me: hello?

ate crissy: OMG! i was watching WOWOWEE and they had this question: "Kung ikaw ay si Jonathan Garcia (which is my kuya's name) kilala ka bilang si: a) Bentong b) Chokoleit c) Sweet?

me: (laughing VERY hard) ang panget naman ng choices!

ate crissy: alam mo kung ano sagot?!

me: o?

ate crissy: CHOKOLEIT!

me and ate crissy: BWAHAHAHAHA!

*after 2 minutes*

ate crissy: okay, yun lang, bye!

during halloween, i was stuck at home putting candies in plastics, only to leave out the 600 pieces of mentos dalandan so that i could keep it. then after changing to watch flightplan with my cousins i open the door to find angeline! then i walk out of my house to find humphrey and friends. wow. hahaha. the next day was the shortest time we ever spent in the cemetery. record: 3 hours. then my kuya, ate crissy, 2 ninangs and i went to cafe breton para "bumili ng gonuts for our younger cousins". well, we did... after eating! after that, we went back to my lola's house to eat dinner. i was able to force my cousins and tita to go to divisoria so i could experience shopping in 168. to say i bought i a lot is an understatement. then i saw a person who looked like mayee's mom until i eventually saw mayee and found out that it WAS her mom. i did nothing on thursday- well, nothing i can remember.

friday was the first ever dizon-cousin roadtrip. we got our 2 cousins who lived in qc to commute to jollibee sucat in the morning.

*kuya calls kuya miguel who is at jollibee with ate andrea*

kuya: hello? nasan na kayo?

kuya miguel: nasa jollibee. ikaw?

kuya: malapit na. punta kayo sa may pass-over.

*kuya miguel whispering to ate andrea*

kuya miguel: nasa pass-over raw siya.

ate andrea: pass-over?! ano yun, nasa bible?!

we ate lunch then picked up my ate jennee who was supposed to be our "driver". we went to tagaytay highlands to bowl and we ended at around 5. we went around to take pictures then we ate dinner. while we were going home, after every 3 songs we would listen to "bohemian rhapsody" so we could "practice". when we got home. my cousins slept over and we just hung out the whole night. the next day, we watched Waiting which is the worst movie ever. remember that. the next day we had the usual dizon gathering.

school nanaman.

*juts and i stressing over the physics seatwork*

me: ano, sugod na kay sir?

juts: ha? sandali lang...

*me seeing pabelle's paper bag*

me: (reads) new york minute...

juts: ha? diba yan yung: (sings)"in a new york minute..."

together: "...woooh oooh oooh / everything can change"

*after singing the same lines 3 times*

me: okay, pano to ulit?

juts: diba pag nakuha mo vo... ung formula for vo... vo... "...woooh oooh oooh"

together: (sings) "...everything can change"

*sings the same lines througout the whole day*

*in jollibee with bugoi and pabelle*

bugoi: tara, xerox na natin to.

me: sige, i have to buy paper pins naman e.

bugoi: paper pen?

me: paper pin.

bugoi: paper pen?

me: paper pin.

bugoi: paper pen?

me: paper pin!

bugoi: paper PEN?

me: paper PIN!!!

bugoi: paper CLIP?

me: oo nga no! BWAHAHAHAHA

*ROFLMAO*

me: kala mo naman may logic ang PAPER PEN!

okay, i guess school's not sooo bad.

the wisdom of a fool won't set you free.

i'm proud to say i survived a friday afternoon in town with only 16 pesos in my wallet. in the first place, i wasn't supposed to be in town. it started with a, "date tayo sa jollibee since matagal na nating di nagagawa yun." lol. so, with kyle, my jollibee date, i managed to find a lot of crashers. jackie, bea, julian, marvin, mark and johann came along to be the "3rd-8th wheels". so when i got to jollibee i was waiting for my kuya to arrive so that he could treat me but then he said he couldn't go so johann bought me cheesy fries! so i sat near julian and johann and nag-chismis kami about stuff. the first peso from my 16 pesos went to jackie and her GK folder. i shared one box with mark and bea since, uhm, we wanted to. lol. the next 12 pesos went to a deformed jolly krunchy twirl. and my last 3 pesos went to marvin. julian was supposed to treat me to a movie but then he had to leave early. we went around a bit then went to tower records. i started looking at all the 80s compilation cds, the songs of my titas and titos. also, the songs i used to sing to elaine last year. lol. miss mo na yun, no?! anyway, "what do we mean to each other?" started playing and, without us knowing it, kyle, jackie and i started singing it with invisible microphones!

so now i'm home. i'm tired from screaming at our "ginamit-na-extras-na-mas-bida-sa-actors". i'm sleepy from all the all-nighters i pulled. and i'm senti from all the 80s songs.

"If this is it then why bother? Tell me where do we take it from here? What do we mean to each other? Am I friend? Am I lover? Is it over now? Do you love me still? Or do you just mean well? "

[EDIT] to clarify the intrigas, the lines that are bold faced are the ones that kyle, jackie and i sang in tower. no other meaning. lol. [/EDIT]

chocolate hangover.

"wag mo na sana akong pahirapan pa. kung ayaw mo sakin ay sabihin mo na." - dedicated to secret

it is not a good thing to be filled with chocolate on a friday night. wait. actually, it is a good thing. it's even better when you didn't spend for most of it, thanks to a bet concerning the english finals. (thanks pabz and alvin!;p) it is NOT a good thing to be filled with chocolate after a gimik with friends and to be home trying to write.

i really shouldn't be blogging right now. i'm supposed to be writing our script for english, doing my part for the prom and finishing all my homeworks. err, i think i'll responsible later. in a while. i haven't been blogging cause everytime i have something to blog about, i get lazy to organize my thoughts and write everything down. that's why you should be proud i'm doing this right now.

if i don't sound like my typical self in this blog, it's only because of one reason: it's in straight english. hahaha. actually, i've been trying to "refill" my brain by reading again. i'm finally reading all the books in my to-be-read booklist, which consists of about 7 books. it's so that i can have something smart to say.

also, due to lack of cable, i've been watching all my old NSYNC dvds. and i still enjoy them.

i don't think i'll ever change.

finally.

2005-08-18T05:51:00.000-07:00

kailan?

2005-06-10T18:57:00.000-07:00

"bawat araw sinusundan di ka naman tumitingin anong aking dapat gawin? kailan, kailan mo ba mapapansin ang aking lihim?"

this blog is probably long overdue... hahaha... medyo one week late! but since i have agreed to join the "not-blogging-for-the-longest-time" society, i have like two last blogs before we start our "competition". and school na rin naman e. walang time.

things i miss/ realized in australia:

1. i miss the blonde, blue-eyed people. (marami ring cute!)

2. i realized i might consider civil engineering or a culinary course for college. or basta i have a business before i'm 18.

saint mary's cathedral. i'd like to build something like it someday. sana.

3. i miss shopping everyday. discounts galore! miss ko na ang factory outlets. 3 for $10. 2 for $25. miss ko nga rin pala ang not buying anything with more than 2 digits. preferably, nothing above $30.

4. i miss emma! the smartest baby on the face of the earth! she won this baby commercial contest thing. i swear child prodigy na yan!

me and emma. she's trying to eat more grapes.

5. "salties"-crocodiles. "lollies"-general term for candy. "doll"-what australian people i don't know call me.

6. i realized mas maganda ang 4D ng Enchanted Kingdom compared to the IMAX Theatre.

7. i miss the store clerks cracking jokes, introducing themselves and asking me where i'm from.

8. i realized na hindi totoo ang lahat ng pananakot ng racism na sinabi sakin ng mga tao. kasing friendly ng australian's ang filipinos.

9. i miss the cold. minsan 12 degrees. i wanted a fur jacket.

10. i realized that if i had the choice, i would choose australia over singapore. kung kelangan ko mag migrate dun.

memorial sa may paddy's or what i like to call the flying piso.

11. i miss all the fried food! fish sticks, calamari, fish and chips. yummy!

12. i realized na mas mahilig pa magshop ang kuya ko kaysa sakin.

13. i miss walking everywhere. minsan 12 blocks. miss ko rin ung modes of transportation. ferry. monorail rules!

14. i realized i don't enjoy riding airplanes or long bus rides.

15. i miss general pants and co., cotton on, jay-jays, witchery, roxy, ripcurl, quicksilver, riff raff and paddy's. masaya makita ang ibang stores na yan in every mall. as in seryosong EVERY mall.

koalaaaaa.

i probably had more thoughts than that a week ago but since medyo mahina ang memory ko, wala na kong matandaan. oh well, at least nabili ko ang aking chucks. they're barf green pero ang official term ay bog green. mmm hmmm. gusto ko actually mag stay sa singapore since nag stop-over rin kami dun pero that would mean we would have gone home the saturday before classes. hassle naman. so nevermind. na-depress ako pagkauwi ko. did you know NAIA is the worst airport in Asia? i read it in a magazine. and since nasanay ako sa lamig, ang panget ng feeling ng init and umuulan pa at that time. anyway, the first week of school just finished. i miss my old seatmates. hindi ko na manakaw ung filecase ni elaine, or sing to her! hindi na ko maturuan ni francis kung pano gawin ung 'pop' thing. hindi ko na rin makausap si binky about anything and everything. so anyway, yan na muna. baka ito na ung last blog ko for a long time. not sure yet. bahala na!:D if you wanna see more photos just go to my multiply: http://saammm.multiply.com.

happy birthday sawiii! love you HB!:D

my day with chad (and isaw and binky).

2005-05-25T03:38:00.000-07:00

"why do you sanctify something thats already died?"

i just came home from atc. isaw, binky and i watched House of Wax. err. i didn't enjoy it. maybe because of all the blood and human body parts flailing about. plus, we had just about the worst seats in the cinema! brent students kasi e.. diba dapat sila ung may pasok sa summer natin?! the only bright side to the whole thing was chad. yup. un naman ung reason namin manood ng movie e. all for the love of chad. all throughout the movie sinasabi namin "ang smart naman ni chad!" or "see?! we would never have thought of that! go chad!" or "wag ka na dyan, chad! bumalik ka nalang sa one tree hill!". after watching, we went to national to buy my extra thick plastic cover and isaw bought load. then we went to coffee bean with my giant plastic pole and stayed there until i needed to go home.

now i'm home and whining cause there's no more alias everyday and i have nothing to fill my 7 o clock time slot. that was until i remembered Complete Savages is coming up next. nevermind. pero i still miss alias! wala na si michael vartan! huhuhu... anyway, tatapusin ko nalang to and i'll be packing my stuff for tomorrow. i'm off to the land down under! yehey! pag balik ko Monster-in-Law naman! michael vartan! wooohoo!:D

california here we come.

2005-05-19T03:28:00.000-07:00

"to be is all i gotta be"

yesterday i played badminton in country club. i wanted to start my so-called "rigorous" training kasi (hahaha). nakita ko ung names ni dom and abbie sa billboard nila, i guess may tournament! congratulations!:D anyway, so my rigorous training was pretty much me and my training making me run back and forth and side to side to hit a shuttle cock that loses a feather everytime you hit it. nice. so that went on until i got really tired and everything around me started to get fuzzy. and while my kuya and kyle went to the lockers, i watched american idol in the parlor. kahit na, for me, wala namang point since wala na si anthony. carrie kasi. nag "i love you pa". argh. anyway, wala na ring point. wala na si vonzell as of today. wala na rin akong gana to watch the finale. wait. i think magpperform si anthony. i take that back.

i am very eager to end what seems to be one of the worst days of my summer life. my laptop, the chad, is sick.. he seems to have a virus and i seem to have deleted a disk drive (do not ask me how.. i have no idea!) and since i need chad for some very important project right now that i need done by saturday, i can't help but feel bad. hayyy, there's so much to do for saturday! argh! anyway, thank you mayee for making my day and giving me my layout!:D i looooooove you!!!;D onga pala, the header was my first real encounter with adobe photoshop and i have no intentions of using it again. it is also my current desktop (and elaine's ata). wala lang, i'm proud kasi resizing is a pain.

uhm, i love seth cohen. just in case you didn't notice. hahaha. ;D

to beat the heat.

2005-05-10T01:27:00.000-07:00

anyone who knows me knows that i am obsessed with american idol! having said that, being bored and having a blogspot account will not lead to good things. so, after reading this, remember to blame it all on tv, blogger and boredom..:D

12. lindsey - i don't think i ever liked her. her voice is very uhhh low. maganda lang sha i guess. i think she did the twist a lot.

11. mikhaila - everything about her is sabog. she sounds like fran drescher from the nanny. i remember watching her audition and she looked like she had just gone through plastic surgery. to make matters worse, she was annoying. i was hoping simon would scold her for being so annoying. guess not. well, at least she can go to the prom with simon. (uhm, only american idol fans will get that.)

10. jessica - stereotypical singer. no different than diana degarmo. i was starting to like her when she sang "on the side of angels" but then she got eliminated. saya.

9. nikko - my favorite performance of him was when he sang "let's get it on". ang gandaaa! hahaha.. i remember saying that he's good but he won't make it to the top 12.. and i was right! but then mario vasquez dropped out and he got in.. sayang! hahaha.. he's like mini-usher with the bump and grind moves. i don't know how else to put it. hahaha..

8. nadia - honestly, i think i liked her cause of her style: super drama queen. i love her hair! hahaha.. and sad ng goodbye video niya.

7. anwar - ahhh anwar! i will forever love anwar because he sang my classic favorite song "moon river". when he sang that, i knew he was meant to be my favorite. unfortunatley, he made it to the 70's theme week. uhm, thanks god he is not a professional dancer! i think i was cringing especially at his end pose! noooo! i think people voted him out cause they thought he was gay. it's so sad. umiyak ako when he left. i blame the stupid gay dance in "september".

6. constantine - oh yes. i know many people will hate me for this but i never really liked him, except when he sang "bohemian rhapsody" (my other favorite song). i mean, he's good. but i never really thought: WOW! hahaha.. i still can't believe he sang "how you remind me". dapat nag pout nalang sha throughout the whole song para mas marami votes niya..

5. scott - i know he has a criminal record for hurting his wife or girlfriend or something. he doesn't really dance. he sort of sways from side to side and dresses like a thug. i'm sure he got eliminated cause he got too cocky. yabang kasi e! hmph. yan tuloy.

*4. bo - bo is okay. nothing special. i know he's good but i never enjoyed much of his performances. i think his hair is as long as mine. i don't like it when it's flat ironed (his hair). he is my hypothetical top 4 so that america will be shocked! hahaha.. i predict that randy will produce his album!

*3. anthony - although i desperately wish that anthony will be part of the top 2, i know that will never happen in a million years (but you never know). ninuninuninuninu. the songs he sings usually get stuck in my head until the next time the show is on. therefore, what's playing in my head right now is a backstreet boys song and "POISON AYVEIYEHEHE, POISON AYVEIYEHEHE".. my favorite for no apparent reason! he has this like deep hole in the middle of his neck. his favorite move is this dance which is sort of like a slow motion wiggle! hahaha.. i love anthony!!!:D

*2. carrie - everyone loves carrie. which is why i always tell people "she's really good but enough people in the world like her. she can survive.".. hence, the number 2 spot.. she can live with that. i hate her lion hair! when she sang "alone" i remember my jaw dropping cause it was sooo flawless! ahhhh! but then, when she sings, deadma lang. so she just belts and sings. i just always think: pwede ba stop looking like you had botox on your whole body!!

*1. vonzell - yehey!!! the american idol!:D i get goosebumps when she sings.. out of all the contestants, she was the only one i never got sick of.. she does this thing where she "pitiks" her shoulder.. i don't know how else to describe it! hahaha.. i think she should be the 4th member of destiny's child.. hahaha..

harumph.

2005-05-05T04:17:00.000-07:00

"bend and i'll break you. leave and i'll take you back again.."

erhm, medyo wala ako sa mood magblog pero pinilit ko nalang sarili ko. dunno why. this week i've been playing badminton with a trainer sa country club. for some stranger reason hindi pa sumasakit joints ko, though i have blisters everywhere! i have learned not to eat chocolate before playing since mabilis nauubos energy ko.. therefore, kakain ako ng chocolate after! hahaha.. everytime i go home from badminton naddepress ako kasi i always pass by the candy corner stall. huhuhu.. yummy candy..

after finding out (very late) that chad is married now to sophia bush harumph i think i turned my attention to michael vartan. hahaha.. hi isaw and binky!:D i started watching alias but i can't understand ANYTHING. i don't understand the sydney-vaughn thing and everything else. weird. since pinaguusapan ang tv shows, i want to buy the meteor garden series.. hahaha.. magssave ako for it! humhmmm..

onga pala, since may suuuper habang baguio blog naman si kuya, ayoko na magblog rin.. miss ko na ung lamig ng baguio! and lahat ng shopping.. nakabili ako ng LA gear sneakers for 550, an oxygen shirt for 200, reversible shorts for 150 each, a bag for 100 and a jacket for 100.. gahd. ang init ditooo!!!

where was my head?

2005-04-25T19:57:00.000-07:00

"and now i'm left with all this pain. i'e only got myself to blame"

i love love love my family!!! i guess i needed this weekend to remind me of that... yesterday, we went to tagaytay and stayed at hotel dominique. when my kuya and i got there we both thought, 'uhm, did we rent out the whole place?' kasi sobrang liit ng front building and sobrang rami namin (34 ata)! then, un pala, fascade lang un and maraming casitas pa sa may loob. so we just checked it out for a short while then went to my tita's house in royal pines... everyone arrived at different times pero sometime in the afternoon everyone was back at the hotel and my kuya, ate crissy, kuya miguel and i played billiards while my ate andrea watched us... at around 5:30 we left for antonio's... super nature-y sha! hahaha... parang lumang bahay na may lumang greenhouse and atrium ekek... ANG RAMING FOOD! i think by the time we finished the salad, everyone was pretty much full... and there was still 4 more courses to go! nadepress ako kasi after the salad sumakit tummy ko sobra... so i was only able to eat a few bites of my sea bass... and gusto ko na rin mag purge kasi i started to feel the oiliness of the sisig and tokwa't baboy i ate at lunch and i wanted to get rid of the feeling of soooo much food in my tummy... so my tita lita told me to walk it off and my ate crissy and i walked down to the many gardens... since madilim na, we walked with our arms linked but then i saw something hopping... HOPPING! and i ran and ran back up the stairs then my ate crissy came and hit me cause i left her! hahaha... when we got back, they served dessert and i just had mine wrapped but then my kuya miguel, who sat in front of me, got his souffle and i thoguht it looked yummy and tall and puffy... but then the waiter came by and poked a hole in it then poured hot, thick chocolate in it! ahhhh! ang sarap ng amoy!!! then my ate andrea, who was sitting beside me got her flourless chocolate cake and she let me taste it... ahhhh! ang sarap rin!!! so shempre nakikain na rin ako... here are some funny things that happened:

the next morning, we woke up early to hear mass at the church with the pink sisters... they took a vow of silence tas iniisip ko kung kaya ko hindi magsalita for a day... much more, the rest of my life! and i felt sad for them kasi they were separated from the rest of the people by a gate kaya they look like they're in some kind of cage... we ate breakfast back at the hotel and, as usual, pinuno namin ung dining area... we went back to the casitas and bummed around... naglaro lang kami ng cards at nagkaraoke sa loft... my ate jennee also came and made us play 'guess what's playing in my iPod'... favorite song niya to have us guess: 'i drive myself crazy" by nsync with matching head twirling actions... nung nagbbum kami sa bed at nagsiksikan kaming 5, diniscuss namin na the next time na babangon kami sa bed is for lunch... kakain nanaman kami... so we left at around 12 to eat at leslie's... then we went home na... finally!

tita lita: (angrily) nasan na ba ung tea?! kanina pa un ah...

*looks around*

tita rowie: ate, ayan sa harap mo o!

*whole pot of tea in front of her*

*when the salad came*

ate jennee: ano to? medium rare o well done?

*while eating the salad*

tita itchie: ang hirap naman maging illustrado! busog ka na bago dumating ung main course!

"i think i thought i saw you try"

i have been putting off trying to blog for about a week now. i think its cause i have nothing really to write about. but if i really wanted to write i would make the things i've done something to write about! ANYWAY, i spent my day watching the second season of the oc.. elaine, ang ganda ng episode 14 na may rain! ang ganda, un lang masabi ko! hahaha... so ngayon, i'm scanning pics of my childhood. the ones of my siopao stage. its funny looking at them. napapaisip tuloy ako.. naiisip ko: bakit hindi na ganyan ka ganda hair ko?!

kahapon pumunta ako sa atc with roselle, inna and celine aka the FLS or food lovers society.. we didn't do much just watched a movie and nag catch up.. we watched finding neverland cause 2 of us already watched the wedding date, 3 watched spongebob, 3 watched samara and 2 watched sahara but only 1 watched finding neverland! hahaha.. i really didn't wanna watch it cause it was a serious movie but i had no choice.. it was nice actually in an inspiring sort of way.. hahaha.. i don't feel the need to criticize it right now.. after the movie nag bonding kami sa jollibee! i think sobrang ingay namin dun! and i was forced by roselle and her attempt to use a "puppy dog eyes" look to take pictures.. we saw bella and we were talking in a circle near the escalator in the new wing.. medyo weird! i went home after that...

happy birthday lola! from your pinakamabait na apo!:D i have to go to my tita's house somewhere far far away cause my lola is gonna celebrate her birthday there. she's going house hopping kasi the family she is supposed to stay with went to america muna for vacation.. of course MARAMING food sa party and considering na tita tess ko ung owner ng house, medyo maraming sweets.. yesss!!! on saturday we will celebrate her birthday again (yes, jackie, the same lola) i think at the beach. then for dinner at antonio's and then we're gonna sleep at a hotel ata.. siksikan na ung activities and outings sa may!

all the pieces of me...

2005-04-13T02:05:00.001-07:00

if you've been wondering why i haven't been online for the past few days (and i'm sure you haven't)... it is because i have been working on a puzzle... hahaha... a 2000 piece puzzle of disney characters to help the time fly by! oh, and i haven't been able to use the internet cause of my kuya... so anyway, for about 3 days i was working and working until i finally finished it today!! technically, my kuya finished it since he put in the last piece, but i don't care! it's done and now i can finally have it framed!

hindi 'to lahat ng pieces! pero some lang... the first day...

by the second day... at least connected na ung puzzle...

TAPOS!:D

wala ako sa mood mag-blog right now.. i just watched american idol so medyo ubos na energy ko sa kaka-judge... hahaha... buffy naman muna ngayon... oh well, next time nalang ulit!:D

and when the last one falls...

"i've heard this life is overrated but i hope that it gets better as we go."

yesterday was a typical sunday- sort of. we actually ate lunch at my lola's house for an i-don't-know-what reason or maybe because most of my titas and titos were there. anyway, because they were there they decided to discuss all the current events in the dizon clan life such as: the baguio trip, my cousins visiting their dad in the states and my lola's condition after she came home from the hospital. nothing special. nakakatawa lang ung situation kasi ung mga tito ko umalis sa table at iniwan ang wives nila kasi magttong-its sila habang ung wives nagddiscuss. and un, ako lang ung bata na naiwan sa table kaya narinig ko ung mga conversation na nakakatawa like this part:

*discussing the food assignments for our annual baguio trip*

tita liz: so sa may 1, for lunch, CPA na?

tita susan: CPA?

tita tess: chicken-pork adobo.

me: ah yes, and walang kamatayang CPAWBE!

tita elda: CPAWBE?

me: chicken-pork adobo with boiled egg.

tita liz: ung boiled egg nga pala!

tita evelyn: shempre kailangan ng kalbichim!

tita susan: madali lang naman un e. pwede mo sha i-reheat.

tita liz: onga, pwede nalang magdala ng kalbichim kasi pwede naman sha mag repeat performance e!

me: *trying to follow while secretly trying to stop laughing*

after that, we watched a movie then ate dinner, blah blah blah. i got a migrane i think from eating something with too much oil. and tried to sleep so that my head wouldn't hurt so much but then i couldn't, so i woke up again and again while it was still dark. so now, gising na ko and tapos na mag blog.

tell me, am i very far?

"you end up counting airplanes, trying to keep up with these changes. i don't wanna be with anybody else, so don't try to figure me out. i won't try to figure you out. i don't wanna be some average anybody."

so lent is finally over... i'm free! hahaha!:D i can eat pork, chicken and desserts and CHOCOLATES!!! and the first thing we did: have a party with lechon! hahaha.

it amazes me how much my family loves starbucks. hahaha. i think we've been going there for 3 straight days already or twice in a day (since we go there at around midnight). we were there last friday after bisita iglesialast saturday night (or early sunday morning) we aka the 'parañaque folks' went there and the first thing i did was to order a hot chocolate with marshmallows! yummy!!! then yesterday we went back at aroung nine-ish cause my tita's were making us go but i was already in my pjs. sooo, there i was, in starbucks bf, in my pjs. hahaha. kasi they made me not change anymore! they said it didn't look like pjs anyway. so anyway, back to my statement of the 'love of starbucks': as it turns out, hindi lang kami ung ganun. since we noticed that as the night wore on, more people were coming (and walang place na maupuan na) and we started thinking that if we were in the states, there wouldn't be that much people at night. in the morning, maybe, but not at night.

so, there we were, playing pekwa, putahan, tong-its and bullshit in the middle of a crowded starbucks on easter night.

happy easter!:D

i'm lying here the room's pitch dark...

"i never really cared until i met you and now it chills me to the bone"

sorry nalang kung nagjjump ung blog ko na to from english to tagalog to taglish or whatever. i just kept in mind elaine's comment na straight english raw blog ko (nagcomment rin kasi ako ng ganun sa kanya dati e). inisip ko tuloy na hindi naman talaga ako ganun magblog. so forgive the weird spellings, lack of capitalization, incorrect use of punctuation marks and the informality of my blog. hahaha. katamad na e! di ko na kaya!

i just want to say hi to julian and isaw na nagcontribute to the world's longest ym conference! hahaha. and to jackie and francis na nagstop-by rin! for those of you who don't know, nagstart ung "world's longest conference na tungkol sa harry potter" because of julian's blog about reading the fifth harry potter book and then by my comment about it. tas nagpaka-nerd kaming tatlo and nagbabasa ng kung anu-ano about the 6th book! i think it went on for about 2 hours kahit na minsan biglang nawawala ung "momentum" namin. hahaha. wala lang. masaya ung conversations namin!

so kahapon, after my glimore girls marathon, we went to mass and then ate dinner and then bisita iglesia. medyo nagrreminisce kami ng mga pinsan ko kasi iniisip namin kung anong age kami nagstart. we found out na i started the earliest at grade 5 and my cousin when she was first year. no suprise naman samin un kasi ako ung youngest sa "barkada" naming magppinsan. anyway, pagkatapos ng buong thing, we went to starbucks and just talked, like what we always do kahit na this year hiwa-hiwalay kami nag bisita iglesia.

i have to go to mass in an hour... procession after... fuuuuuuuun!

and i know how it feels to walk out on your own...

"Its okay to be angry and never let go. It only gets harder the more that you know."

after 50 pictures, 5 speeches, 3 books, a hair trim, 2 fish fillets, 4 glasses of lemonade, 20 loud relatives and a zillion tears, i'm finally able to blog. actually, i haven't been able to blog for 2 reasons, namely: the unfortunate timing of my brother (whenever i start to blog he makes me leave) and the unwillingness of blogger to actually let me blog. this is gonna be long.

happy graduation to batch 2004-2005! congratulations! i attended the graduation of my kuya yesterday. it was okay. i've never been to another highschool graduation before so i have no basis for comparison. it was normal and serious up until the part when each of the students were getting their diplomas. when it reached section f, almost all of the students struck a pose when up on the mini platform. hahaha. so ya, when it was over, they took LOTS of pictures. after the graduation, we went to atc cause our reservation for outback was still at 6. i bought a book at powerbooks and bought a gift for my mom's officemates's son. then we headed to outback and waited for our other relatives. there were more or less 20 of us there cause my tito and his family who weren't supposed to make it, made it! hahaha. and ianne was there! ianne my inaanak! she was walking around the whole of outback trying to get the attention of passersby and i had to hold her cause she can't even walk alone yet! anyway, lots of people were there. i saw chio, janvit and kyle. we left at around 8 and we were supposed to watch a movie but decided to just watch tomorrow.

my day was pretty uneventful. my cousins just came over unexpectedly 2 hours ago and we just talked and joked around. my ate crissy raided my shelf and borrowed like 8 books from me. my kuya, alex and edward came over to get ready for their grad ball thing. my cousins and i just ate and watched nothing on tv until my tito came to pick them up.

this week is holy week. i actually completely forgot about it until i saw people going out of st. jerome with those palm things. i know its going to be busy in the latter part of the week cause of all the masses and processions. and i'm glad that lent is almost over cause in about a week i can finally eat chocolates, chicken, pork, beef and drink softdrinks! it's been a looooong 33 days.

7 days and counting... ;)

wood becomes bone...

"they knew we were lying, they smiled just the same. seemed they'd already forgotten we came."
-- walk on the ocean (john mayer)

i actually had my so-called 'senti blog' before this. but then my better judgement got to me so i decided to delete it. i don't want to be senti right now anyway, i'm too busy being bored. anyway, i just finished 2 books in the last 2 days, so i'm thinking, what now? our class party is about 3 hours away and no one is online or home. hahaha. so anyway i decided to list down things i want to do this summer just so i won't be bored for the next 5 minutes:

read 20 books (maybe more) -- i need to do this again
swim with dolphins -- i want to swim with dolphins!!!
run --
take photography classes
learn how to use adobe -- self-study my butt
do pilates -- i wanna streeeeeeeetch
get a job -- but noone will hire me
have better hair -- or get a hair trim (hahaha); not a hair cut!
have sleepovers -- i'm sure this will happen
watch the second season of the OC
finish my 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle and have it framed

i think i wanna do more but since the boredom is slowly killing me, i can't seem to think straight. i am trying to download the second season of the OC but i think boredom is also slowly killing LimeWire. therefore, i have been stuck at 3% progress for the past 20 minutes.

gahd i need a life.
