KUNG HEI FAT CHOY!
It's Chinese New Year! And as usual, I checked for my luck this year. I had excessive bleeding for the past few days and had to be hospitalized for a while...but but! I felt better when the new year came around. Hmm.. must be my good luck starting to work. Or maybe its just the medicine. Hahaha.
This proves to be a good year for those born in the year of the Snake and Rabbit (meee!), and quite an unlucky one for Tigers and Rats.
RABBIT : Basically, rabbits have nothing to complain about. More money and career opportunities come this year, especially for those in PR. A very romantic year for rabbits, the year of the firedog is said to be very ideal for marriage.
LOVE IN THE TIME OF 2006: Taurus
Romantic Match: Aquarius
Sex Match (God forbid): Virgo
Taurus finds a natural fit with earth signs. Earth signs include other Taurus loves, Virgo natives and Capricorn partners.The best relationships this year push and pull at the very fiber of Taurus's being, stretching (in an often uncomfortable scenario) the limits of who he or she is.
(Horoscopes taken from Cosmopolitan Bedside Astrologer, Creators.com and some article in the newspaper haha.)
But I think that more than any horoscope, attitude is what predicts one's luck. Loosely put, you get what you expect. And of course, nothing beats prayer. :)

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY
i came across a lot of shit this week.
but can i just say that i'm still really happy with what's going on in my life?
i have only the good Lord to thank for it. thanks Lord for sticking it out with a brat like me.:)
---
aside from other improvements in my life that i don't want to talk about (hmm..) , i'm really giddy about how my grades are going. i slacked off during the earlier part of the sem and when this year started i think i've done some good enough damage control.
there's nothing like hard work, discipline and sacrifice (skip gimmicks!) to get your act together. i don't really feel like i'm missing out on anything. i don't like going out much and there's enough fun going on in my life.. if you know what i mean. (teehee.)
we got our COM140 (a.k.a News Writing) assignments today and ta-dah! i got assigned to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, no less.
i'm set to attend an editorial meeting on the day my group and i are doing our SCI 10 report. groupmates, we better finish early or else i won't live through that day.
or maybe i will. because i have someone who keeps me sane.. :)

pics from alden's multiplyHAPPY NEW YEAR!
2005 was great, and was made even better because i spent the last few days with people dear to me. family lunches were a handful, but the highlights of my holiday were the EK trip with my Superfriends and Bombshells and the ForeverFriends movie day. (yes that's what my friends and I call ourselves..)
as always, i've made my list of new year's resolutions. unlike people who say they won't make any new ones this year because they're meant to break it anyway, i promise to stick to mine.
my solution? i chose particular days of the year and marked them on my cellphone's calendar with the note "stick to your new year's resolutions!" so if my cellie alarms in the middle of september, i'll be reminded of them. pathetic no?
and for the year's forecast...
TAURUS 2006 ASTROLOGICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Your year for love, sweet love. What's love got to do with it? Everything, in January, when you make the craziest choices in the name of that four-letter word! Your dear ones understand (and take pity on you, truth be told), but you'll surprise them when those seemingly illogical decisions bring unforeseen fantastic results this spring. So be a fool for love. The "foolier" the better.
February features a pesky work-related "situation" that returns like a boomerang until it's solved. The planets present an interesting friendship in March, but it's a use-it-or-lose-it situation. The onus is on you to keep in touch. Your social life is alight in the early summer. Singles connect with someone devastatingly charming, and couples are won over by their partner once again. If work isn't creative enough for you, greener pastures call in June. Pursue all conventional methods for finding work -- in the end, it's an unconventional one that gets you the job.
Money that you socked away brings big interest in August. That's also the ideal time to get out of town with your entire family in tow!
Sounds like a great year is waiting for moi. Mwahahaha. :)

How You Are In Love |
 Trust takes time. You give completely and unconditionally in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard. |

it doesn't feel like Christmas at all.
with less than a fortnight to go, i find it unusual that everyone i know is going through some sort of stress, all of which happen to have nothing to do with Christmas, or preparing for Christmas, at all.
and that includes me.
i guess i'm alone in dealing with my problem, while everyone else is swamped with theirs. it makes me feel better to know that my friends can't lend me a hand not because they don't love me or anything, but because they have their own issues to deal with, most of which are, i have to admit, a lot more important than mine.
in that case, i just hope they know that my problems don't hamper my ability and willingness to listen. . . that i'm just here.

The first time I read Memoirs of A Geisha, I was so caught up in the story I ignored hunger pangs so I could finish a chapter. When I reached the climax of the story, I was barely jumping on my bed out of excitement and kilig.
It was during this time of the year that I read it, and though I cursed boys and love at that time due to some disappointment I had back then (dont ask), it made me realize that falling in love is still such a wonderful thing. It became an instant favorite, that my copy of the book is now one of my most prized possessions.
My all-time favorite novel is now a movie. Read it people, before the movie comes out.
Laugh, cry, ponder and fall in love the same way I did.

CELEB-RATE
my sister
it's my Father's birthday today and he's turning 43. Happy Birthday Pops! So anyway, I sent him a text message first thing in the morning to greet him and he replied with: "Wow! You're up early! You know, Ate Dada (that's my older sister) accepted Jesus as the Lord Her Savior yesterday. It was the best birthday gift I have ever received."
You see, my sister has always been the black sheep in our family, having been sent to the principal countless times when we were in grade school (hehe..) and even resorted to jumping over our gate just so she can party. Just recently, she has turned to Christ again, the first sign of which was hearing mass every Sunday, which she didn't do before. I'm glad you've found Him Ate.
To celebrate this, we made like celebs and.. had a photo shoot. Hahaha. Other pictures this weekend. As if you're itching to view it haha.

i just came from Com 140 class which is Newswriting. My teacher just happens to be one of the senior writers in Philippine Daily Inquirer and this puts so much pressure on me to excel in this class.
but what i'm scared of even more is the pressure that working in the journ industry will put on my shoulders. i'm afraid that because of the crazy work schedule i won't have time for myself, or worse, that i won't find a husband or be able to start a family. this is embarassing, but i've always felt like i was born to be married or something. acccck. ang pathetic ano?
i know. that's soooo Jessica Simpson. but i really do see myself taking care of my husband (and kids), but i do want to work too.
i didn't ever dream of being a spinster. and i didn't ever dream of being a bad mom. but i just feel like that's what my chosen career path entails.
fuck dudes. should i stay?
Lord help me decide.

BAD TRIP.
just when i was so hyped up, my War Games class for ACP was dissolved. go na go na ako e! i was moved instead to a film showing about Workers' Plight in the Philippines. my reaction? a long nyeeeeekk with a crinkled nose. to make up for it, I'll just sign up for the film showing about Genocide, Hotel Rwanda. i don't have a thing for violence, it's just that i'm too square to ever experience it, so i figured i'll have a taste of it vicariously.
oh. and my sked sucks.

WEEK THAT WAS
as usual, i wasn't able to join my blockmates in what would have been the last gimmick for the sem that has passed. they have fab pics though, as always, since our official photographer Henny was there. Click HERE for the snappos.
we finished part of Upos, Kat's film entry for the Ateneo Video Open yesterday. It turned out to be a blast, which makes up for my absence sa EK trip. Natapos kami 9:30 pm na. Pag-uwi ko ng mga around 11, nakabantay na yung lola ko na magsesermon sakin. Dalas ko na daw kasi lumabas. Pagbigyan na diba? It's like, sem break, ya know.
So right now I'm prepping for my friend Catsky's birthday. I'm excited to see my high school classmates whom I haven't seen in such a long time.. and to be wearing something more that my usual flip-flops and jeans. Speaking of, i left my flip-flops in the house where we shot Upos. Mwahaha. Will retrieve it next week.
Oh, and yes, I got the War Games class for ACP, so I'll be facilitating a paintball class in either Gotcha Shaw or Antipolo. I'm nervous because I'm afraid I'll be handling a group of rowdy boys since most chicks in Arrneow choose the Fashion Classes. Like, *in a valley girl voice* hoowwkkaay. I don't even know who my co-faci is, I just know he's a guy.
gotta take a bath now, i smell nasty. haha.

GUESS WHAT?!
i signed up as an ACP (Alternative Class Program) Facilitator! not bad for someone who didn't even sign up for a class last year eh? Faci sign-ups are on Monday, which is also report card day (God forbid I get a heart attack).
I don't know which one to sign-up for, but I have my eye on the Adobe Photoshop Workshop (or any of the symposiums) and on the trip to the studio of The Buzz. Wala lang. Fan ako ni Kris eh.
guess what?
the Bombshells (with Pat, Peej, Caloy, Iking, Alds maybe and I don't know who else) are having a much delayed inuman tonight at where else -- Catsky's house. i don't really go to inumans to drink, i go because I enjoy their company.
I might try drinking again tonight, like I did the last time we were there, which was about this time of last year pa! I got a tad drunk I think coz my whole vision was blurred and i felt like i had food up till my neck. o diba ang arte? di na lang sabihin na nasusuka ako eh no? anyway..I loathe that feeling but since everyone's gonna be feeling that way tonight, might try it as well. bandwagon baga.
guess what?
i think next week might be super hectic i might not even get to rest before school starts. on the 10th me and my super fab blockies are going to Enchanted Kingdom! yeheeeeyy! excited e no? parang bata. mwehehe. i was 9 the last time i was there and i puked a whole deal after i went on the Rialto. di ko kasi nagustuhan yung amoy ng katabi ko. jowk. mwehehe. I wasn't tall enough then to get on the Space Shuttle, so Space Shuttle here I come! I hope i'm tall enough this time. kundi iiyak ako. mammeeeehhh!! ;P
and guess what?
i have nothing more to say, maybe I'll update after the inuman. I'm pretty certain some raunchy stuff will happen like last year. Mwahahahahahah! i'll check PostSecret now. sama ka? tara sabay tayo! oo, ikaw chaka ako. uuuyyy smile naman dyan.

EMMBEEECCCKKK!!!
i'm back! missed me? then tag!
since the last time i blogged i've done a lot of productive things. i'm halfway through Memoirs of a Geisha (it's my second time reading it), i've cleaned my shoe rack and my dresser, and of course, i've been to Baguio!
BAGUIO...
grabe sobrang lamig, i cried when we ran out of hot water. it was 14 degrees (i suppose that's how cold it is in a freezer) when we arrived! since i didn't each much on the way, i almost collapsed =`(
went around God Shepherd, La Trinidad, and SM Baguio. it was suprising to see a mall in Baguio! it wasn't so bad. may Teriyaki Boy, David's Teahouse, where we ate, and all sorts of stores you'd see in malls in the metro. and since it was so cold, they had open rooftops which spared them of aircon bills. basta sobraaaaang lamig!
i might post pics later.
TAGAYTAY...
because i went to Baguio on the 27th, i missed my block's Tagay-tay (yes, Tagay-tay! kasi pang Tagay daw yun eh.. bet they all became drunk at one point!) trip. inggit akooooo!
guys, i really hope we push through with EK. i have a shoot with Kat on the 11th, Cat's debut on the 12th, but if you want it on the 10th, game pa rin ako!!!
want pics? click HERE baby!
----------------------
Baguio was fun, but i missed Manila. i missed my house, my bed, my blockmates, my friends, my Bombshells, heck, i missed you too...pixie

wala lang. sobrang lungkot nung last post ko ah. oh well... malungkot ako e. wala akong karamay huhuhu. lalapit ka nga sa iba, hindi naman makikinig sa iyo. imbis na maki-empathize sasabihin lang kalimutan ko na. nde ganun yun mga dude eh. hindi eh.. ANJ!!!! stop the drama! mag post ka na lang.
ang sabog naman ng post na to. oh well. im sabog too, so it goes without saying that the post of the sabog person is sabog.
lam niyo ba, may C2 lite na. as in sugar free, low calorie C2. iniinom ko ryt now yung lemon. WOW. no difference. pinatabang na C2 lemon lang ata to eh. malamang tatabang bawasan mo ba naman ang sugar dba? hindi talaga nagbago. actually, to be honest and candid, ehh.. nakakajebs pa rin ang C2 lite kagaya ng regular C2. wala lang.
i'm going to galle to meet up with Cahti and.. i dont know who else. surprise na lang pagdating dun. sabay nakasetup na pala ako for kidnapping eh no? surprise nga.
ohwell well.. sa lahat ng nagtetext sakin wala pa ako narereplyan kahit isa. wala lang. minsan kapag ako naman nagtetext walang nagrereply eh. back at you people. tyaga tyaga ko mag text eh.. di niyo ko nirereplyan huhuhuh. drama.
pagka browse ko nitong post na to parang tunog-lasing ah. i'm not drunk. i'm just drinking C2 lite.

JUST LOOK INSIDE.
after quite some time i finally checked my Friendster today. it was flattering to be getting 'smiles' (its a new feature where you can send smiles to people through their messages) from people i dont know, and even messages that say they wish i'm doing well.
it's just that most of the time the kind of messages that are sent through Friendster are from people who say they like the way you look, and that's pretty much why they care. i find it sad that people give so much value to superficial things.
people always stop and take note of the things i've been given and am lucky to have but they never stop and take notice of the things i do to make the life easier for other people.
like how i'd give up precious sleep to do a big bulk of the work that's been assigned to a group, but which i chose to shoulder. like how i'd suppress my anger so that the people who hurt me won't experience the pain they're causing me. like how i'd pray for other people's lives to get better even when i have problems of my own.
i know that i shouldn't be doing good things to others if i'll only be asking for something in return.. but when you're getting entirely nothing, and much worse, when you get the opposite of what you're giving, you can't help but get tired of giving.
why is it that the people you care for the most are the ones who forget about you? and why is it that the people who say they love you are the ones who aren't around when you need people to lean on?

SEM BREAAAAK!
that was one busy sem. i'm glad it ended coz ive been sooo stressed for the past weeks. i hope my grades turn out nicely. i swear i'm gonna throw a fit if i get a frickin F in any of my subjects.
on the other hand, i'll really miss my teachers and blockmates. my blockies and i will be choosing our tracks soon, and we'll be divided then. i'll miss you my superstars! ;-)
so... what's up for me this sem? i'm looking forward to being an ACP Faci (and ACP Show Log hehe) and Blue Xmas Log. i love volunteering, and it's not just for an additional stripe in my resume (which i haven't made to begin with).
i'll also be in the Ateneo Video Open entry of my blockie Kat Tan. it's her first film, as in her film. she'll write the script, direct it, and maybe even shoot it herself (but with a little help of course). i don't wanna disappoint her. i think we're gonna shoot in Manila, or in some secluded place. that's hot. my role? secret.
what else what else? ooohh! it's my bombshell gurlfriend Cahti's debut! i'm looking forward to seeing my high school friends once agaaaiin! ooooogggg i'm so frickin giddily exciteeeddd! aaaaahhh! wooooohh! la lang.
but before my sem activities start i'll go shopping first. i feel so deprived kasi hindi nako lumalabas, not even to eat. so i'll pig out and go shopping tomorrow. by the way gimme a hug!

DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS
I've gotten addicted to reading other people's secrets since i heard about PostSecret. I've lots of secrets to share, but not the beet-red embarassing or the sex video worthy kind of secrets. More like resentment-kind-of-secrets. Haha.
I might just send in one soon... It would feel nice to let it all out and not be condemned for it.
I know very well that they post new ones every Sunday but I keep checking the site every day with the hope that they posted new ones.
It's sick, I know...

as you can see, i've recently added a hug counter on my journal. if you love me, give me a hug! :)

are you BORED too...?
RAWWWWRR!!!
I'm in the middle of writing two papers for Fil class (one for the docu Bunso and one for the play Bayan-bayanan) both of which will only give me a total of 10 bonus points in recitation (that is if it satisfies my teacher). I was thinking that exhausting all my ideas would be such a waste if I'll only get 10 points, but not getting the entire 10 points would make me feel bad as well. 10 points na nga lang eh...
My Fil quiz results are soooo bad (12/20, 17/30.. blahblah) that I'm desperate for those ten pathetic points. Des. pe. ra. da.
Anyway, I got tired of thinking so I decided to surf around. There are some sites I like to check when I'm sabaw -- one because they're so stupid you don't have to think, and thus that spares you some brain cells, and two, because they're so interesting they might just help you squeeze that creative juice out.
La lang. Baka maaliw din kayo.
This is a video of the infamous She Blocked Me internet love song, about a guy who met a girl on chat and eventually got blocked from her list. This was part of my COM 101 class. Ang cute niya. Naaliw talaga ako sobra, like, I watch it whenever I'm bored. Patheeetiiicc!
This is the website of an FTM (Female to Male) transgender. I first read about him on COSMOGirl, like, years ago. The site includes a journal of his transition from female to male, including pictures of surgery and sound clips of his voice change. Very interesting. You gotta admire him for his honesty. :)
Another site that I find interesting is Bianca Gonzales' blog. She recently wrote about her stand on the whole GMA thing (sorry, vague) and we share the same sentiments about wanting the gov't to proceed with the impeachment. I love GMA though. Haha. Click here to view it. ;P
Now let me get back to that paper...

ON LATE NIGHTS AND EVER AFTERS...
WOW. for the first time in how many weeks i stayed up late to tinker with stuff online. dami kasi ginagawa e. with ACP.. COSA.. Theo Orals.. Fil.. this is a much needed break. im currently updating my blog (doi!) and eating 4-month old Sunflower Crackers in Mango Flavor hidden in my CD box (ayaw ni mommy kumakain sa kwarto e).
so anyway, i logged in on mIRC (yeah i know, so ancient history right?) and there's this girl who was looking for the lyrics of "Ever After" by Bonnie Bailey. i try to deviate from popular songs, but this particular one, though its super duper panis-to-the-point-na-inaamag-na still makes me shake my wapoosh! exagg. it makes me bob my head lang and think of my significant other (i.e., my parrot, Rainbow.) hahaha!
i started typing the lyrics onto the screen and she went gaga, even asking for the whole lyrics. (hirap naman itype nun no!) Bonnie Bailey, may stalker ka na! Bongga! my friend Tin told me that she's the girl from Aqua of Barbie Girl fame. hahaha. hi purplefem, since you were nice about it, here's to you gurrrl.
. . .will we have ever after?
