[24 Apr 2006|02:01am] |
And so it's here, the PBB Teen Edition. Looks entertaining enough hehehe. After the introduction and getting-to-know-the-housemates episode earlier, I've pretty much chosen my first day bets. Here goes:
1. Jamilla
2. Matt
3. Kim
4. Fred
5. Gerald (just because he's cute).
I'm thinking of subscribing to PBBTE's 24/7. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Hehehe. Let's see if the 1st week's interesting enough to get me to subscribe for the whole season. Heehee.
Sleepy. Will update tomorrow, mwah!

Haven't really been updating, and it's so me. Hahahaha! So here's yet another recap of the past few days...
April 1
Went to school that day to have our thesis revisions checked by our panel. Sir Ice, our panel chair, wasn't available so we just consulted Mr. Tolentino and Ms. Matriano. Tsk, still a few minor revisions before they sign it. Anyway, went home at about 1pm to rest a bit then we left for Bulacan for Tita Melda's 60th birthday. Maky and Angeli rode with us while Tita Sha, Tito Augie, Tita Mela, Lolo Teng and Lola My rode in Tito Augie's van. Got there at about 5, our other relatives were there already. Blah, blah, blah... too lazy to post about everything that happened.
After going to Bulacan, we went to Tita Sha's house here in QC and rested for a while. My gulay, the long trips aren't over just yet. The fam decided to visit one of Lola My's in-laws who died a few days back. So we went all the way to Paranaque for the wake. Zzzz.
I was dead tired when we got home that I barely remember what happened that night. Nyaha.
April 2
The only highlight of this day was going to Magallanes to have our revised thesis checked by Mr. Tolentino. Since it was a Sunday, the school's closed and Mr. Tolentino had no office so we had to resort to meeting up with him near his house. Yes, all the way to Starbucks Magallanes. To think that we're from QC and Marikina. Boo. Finally, he signed our paper. We stayed for a bit to fix the typos in our thesis and then went home. Oh, I saw Chx of PBB1 in Starbucks and I must say, she looks better in person. She was fetched by some friends and if my memory serves me right, I saw Love driving. Hmm. Heehee.
April 3
This day's not really that productive compared to other Mondays I've had this term. Had an online finals exam in CATHWOR, had no RECONSE (to my dismay) because the prof's away somewhere. Anyway, during lunch, Arby, Osang and I took the finals exam again because we encountered some error in submitting it that morning. The prof extended the deadline to 7pm so time was really on our side. We got 90%, I think? Heehee.
Moving on. MANSTRA was super great that day, I must say. Mr. Arevalo gave us our pre-final grade and announced the list of exempted students for the final exam. Guess what, I'm included in that friggin' list. YEY! Also saw D who had a sort of shocking hair-do (a bit punkish but not so) but still cute nonetheless. Heehee. Anyway, was quite late for COSK2-R that night because I had to wait for Ryan. When he arrived, he said that he still needed to print his final paper and that I go ahead, so I did. The moment I stepped into class, took me less than 5 minutes to pass my final paper, sign the attendance and listen to the prof's final announcements... and then I left. Hahahaha, what a waste of valuable time.
April 4
The last of all stress-days. Had to go to school to pass our final thesis. The day started at 11am with sir Ice checking our paper. After a few minutes of chatting and laughing, he browsed through our paper and signed the approval form. YEYYY! We then had it printed and later on had it soft-bound. When we were to pass it, the secretary refused to accept it because it lacked a signature from another panel member (which sir Ice said wasn't needed anymore). Damn. Good thing it took Osang and Arby less than a few minutes to find Ms. Matriano and have her sign it.
So yes, FINALLY... PRAC1CA is over. No more revisions, no more panel members to run after, no more anything. BIG RELIEF.
April 5
Really feels good to wake up in the morning without any worries and school related crap to think of. When I got up, I instantly went to the puppies and played with them. I was still a little woozy so I decided to go back to bed and rest a bit... but lo and behold! Guess who I caught sleeping on my bed and left me with no space...
( somebody's been sleeping on my bed! )
Zzz... wait, tired. Will updated again later, just rest for a while.

My baby girl got sick last Thursday morning. She was shivering, panting, drooling and her jaw was locked. I could even feel her brain shaking. As much as she would like to stand up, she couldn't. We had to look for a 24-hr veterinary clinic who did home service to attend to her. Luckily there was a veterinarian available somewhere in Pasig. When he got here, he immediately checked on Tisay, asked us several questions and later on diagnosed her of something (I forgot what it's called) which was caused by her pregnancy and breast-feeding habits. I think the puppies literally sucked everything they could from Tisay and left her with almost nothing. Anyway, she was dextrosed and given vitamins for her to recuperate, and by early evening was already able to stand up and walk around the house. Right now, she's still weak but is doing much better compared to the other day. I hope she fully recovers soon.
Moving on...
The end of the term saddens me for I know that I'll barely see my crush(es) once vacation starts. HAAAAAAAY. I'm gonna miss my crush-capades with my partner in crime, Arby. What's sadder is the fact that this is my last academic term. I'll be having my OJT next term and classes every Saturday, which means that I SHOULD wish for my crushes to have Saturday classes so as I can see them even once a week next term.
On the brighter side of things, I saw both my crushies today. One was wearing white and the other blue. Such cutenessss, I luuurv them! Heehee.
We're off to Bulacan for a family thing. Gotta go prepare... mwa!

Of my years of stay in CSB, I guess this is the term that I've exerted a lot of effort to accomplish my school requirements - two major papers, three oral reports (with Q&As) and a thesis documentation with a matching grueling defense to top it all of. The stress that I feel right now is almost of the same level as the stress that I constantly felt during my entire stay in engineering. I miss my stressful, sleep-deprived, study-till-you-drop ECE days.
But I'm not complaining. Hahahaha. I THINK (with great emphasis on THINK) I'm better off here in CSB. At least I have more leisure timee and a blooming social life. Nyehehe.
Well anyway, it's finals week next week. Feels like I've been going to school for ages! I can't wait to take a plunge into the cool salty water (or chlorine-y water, whichever we decide on) and release all the stress (not in the form of, you know...*snicker*) I've had this term. I can't wait to spend time with my berks and feel the ka-jologan of belonging to the engineering circle again. I have nothing against CA people, it's just that my heart belongs to the other side of the avenue... and people there are more, uhm... human-like. Hahahahaha. Right. I'm making no sense at all. Moving on.
I still have more school stuff to do, I better start now and stop procrastinating. BLAAAAH. So there. Will update later when I get fed up with what I'm doing. Teeh.

[27 Mar 2006|09:17pm] |
It's almost vacation for uuuuuus, yey! But then, still have tons of acad stuff to attend to before entirely rejoicing. The past few days have been the most stressful days of my entire life. Gaaah. So here's a brief recap...
March 25, Saturday
The ultimate hell day of all hell days. Thesis defense. To my DISBELIEF, we had the dream team panel to interrogate us - Mr. Tolentino, Mr. De Ocampo aaaaaand Ms. Matriano. Goooodness, where's lady luck when you need her the most? Huhuhu. Anyway, after more than an hour of negotiation and all that crap, we survived. I can't say that we did it with flying colors, but we passed. They even said that we belong to the upper bracket of all PRAC1 students this term, probably part of the top 5 or so? But then, they could've said that to all students that they handled, yes? Haaaay.
After our defense, we started on our CATHWOR paper. Since the cafeteria's as good as closed, we were only able to buy junk foods for lunch. Sucks, yeah? Hahaha. We dealt with the paper for about two hours or so, and then we headed our separate ways. Dad picked me up and we stayed in some hotel with mom to unwind for a while. I continued with the CATHWOR paper until my head hurt like hell. I rested and slept in the car on the way home. Oh life.
March 26, Sunday
Had a few hours to spare to relax and get my sanity back, hahaha. Worked on our CATHWOR paper still, then proceeded to finishing my COSK2-R final paper. Count the number of times I used paper so far. This term is full of papeeeeeeeeeeers! Slept at about 1am, which only means one thing -- I'm gonna be late for my first class the following day. HAheahehahaeha.
So yeah, I was late for my first class today. The second class was still the same old talk-with-your-seatmate-till-you-drop moment. Hahahaha. Our professor for MANSTRA was absent but we still had a surprise quiz and a seatwork after that. As for my last class, I had my defense for my baby thesis. Zzzz...
But you know what? I love this day. Too many crushie instances, and it makes me kilig all over. HAHAHAHHA. I'll just post about that some other time. I'm quite tired already. Ciao!

These two songs are my favorites as of the moment. Music is love!

Tila ibon kung lumipad
Sumabay sa hangin
Akoy napatingin
Sa dalagang nababalot ng hiwaga
Mapapansin kaya
Sa dami ng 'yong ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko ang lahat
May pag asa bang makilala ka
Awit na nananawagan
Baka sakaling napakikinggan
Pag ibig na palaisipan
Sa kanta na lang idaraan
Nag-aabang sa langit
Sa mga ulap sumisilip
Sa likod ng mga tala
Kahit sulyap lang darna
Ang swerte nga naman ni Ding
Lagi ka nyang kapiling
Kung ako sa kanya
Niligawan na kita
Tumalon kaya ako sa bangin
Para lang iyong sagipin
Ito ang tanging paraan
Para mayakap ka
Darating kaya
Sa dami ng ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko sila
Paano na kaya

I'm leaving, I'm buckling tight
I turn on the radio, I'm driving out of sight
And I'm in the freeway
The lights, I'm lost in your eyes
Things have been said, I'm lost in my head
It's time to go home
I'm moving so fast I can't look back
The streetlights are changing
They mean nothing at all, maybe
I'm stranded, I'm stuck in this place alone
I look out the window
Tomorrow will be fine
Let's call it a day
It's over, I'm turning off the lights
This day may be through
I'm here without you
And I don't have a clue
Tomorrow will come
Tomorrow you'll come

I took a break from my hectic academic schedule yesterday and stayed at Starbucks Taft from 3:30-7:30 with my barkada. I miss them so much and it felt good to be with them and share gazillions of laughters over tall glasses of Iced Latte and slices of Chocodome. Hehehe. I haven't seen my college barkada for ages, and even though barely half of the barkada was present (we were just 5 that night out of almost 20), it still felt uber good. Nothing's changed, everyone's the same - still wacky, talkative, cute and lovable. ^_^ Wish I could spend more time with them.
Another person that I truly love is Mr. Rustom Padilla. Ok, it's not love as in romantic love... but more of love in the context of admiration and respect. He gained my respect when he admitted on national television that he's gay, and he gained more when he decided to voluntarily exit the house. People may see his exit as a cowardly act, but I believe otherwise. He made use of his brain and made a strong grip on his principles to arrive at his final decision of exiting. There are shallow viewers that only see the tip of the iceberg, in Rustom's case, his nomination. But as the theory of the iceberg goes, what you see in the surface is almost an insignificant part of the entirety of it. There's a deeper meaning in what Rustom did, and I commend him very much because of his wit, intelligence, faith and principle that led him to do such noble act. What struck me most during his exit were the lines that went something like "Ayokong mabahiran ng kumpetisyon ang naipakita kong pagkatao sa inyo at ang ating nabuong pagkakaibigan." With all that's been said and done, I don't think that I need to justify why I'm siding with the pro-Rustom rather than the anti. Think deep people, and you'll understand why. So cheers to you, Paps! I'm with you all the way!

After hours of labor, my baby Tisay is now a mommy! Last March 19, at about 9pm, my baby girl gave birth to 5 lovely puppies. It took me by surprise for we weren't really expecting the puppies this early. And I dunno if it's a priviledge or not, but she gave birth ON MY BED. Hahahaha, so now I'm using my brother's matress because the other one's obviously unsanitary to sleep on hehehehe. The first pup was born under the dressing table near the master's bathroom. I dunno why Tisay suddenly thought of giving birth to the other four on top of my bed. Of all beds, she had to go to mine. She probably felt that she'll be all secured since I'm the closest to her in the family. Haha aaaw.
And now, I'm proud to introduce to the world, our lovely new family members - Hailey, Itchy, Bambi, Kazee and Mindy! I couldn't think of a name derived from Sugarfree that's both name-sounding and ends with "eee". The idea of naming the puppies before my favorite bands was all dad's idea. Haehahea. So thank you Hale, Itchyworms, Bamboo, Kamikazee and 6CycleMind. I'll name one after Sugarfree when Tisay gives birth again (that'll probably be years from now, hehehe).
Pictures to be posted soon... when they're all cute and kulit already. Hihi.

Wow. Spent this weekend just bumming around, playing online games and whatever nonsense things I could think of. For a change, I'm not thinking of any school related things. I'm just giving myself a break for I have yet another stressful week ahead of me. Man, stress can already be the title of my life lately. Hehehe. So here are the things that I am not looking forward to this week.
Monday:
- Submission of written paper until part III for MANSTRA.
- Reporting in MANSTRA.
- Submission of research paper draft for COSK2-R.
Wednesday:
- Reporting in RECONSE.
Saturday:
- Thesis defense.
And in between those things, I have to study and prepare for our defense. This is really it. Wow. And I don't want to think of the things needed for the week after that. I'll just be stressing myself all the more.
Moving on.
I've been seeing so much of Hale lately. Just yesterday, I was able to catch their Toll Gate music video. Yuuuuuuum, Champ's still so cute! And just this afternoon, I saw their tv commercial for Nescafe. Let's siiit, let's talk. One moooment, one Nescafeee. Champ's even cuter there! Waaaah! I actually miss him. I miss my Hale nights with my Champmates. I miss our Champ-capades. Awww.
So there. Let's call it a day. ;)
PS
You guys should see my nails. Basta. Heehee, I love it.

Awful Friday.
Yet another stressful and annoying day for me (and Osang and Arby). Actually, the first half of it was pretty much ok. Attending class, seeing Froshie... the usual (hehe *wink*). Was out of my mind the moment we finished eating our lunch (which we hurriedly did since we badly needed the time). So by 12pm, we got into one of the computer labs inside school and started polishing and adding a few more stuff in our MANSTRA paper and powerpoint presentation for our reporting that afternoon. While Arby did the slides and Osang did the word document, I started making our powerpoint for our defense. Oh yeah, which reminds me, the secretary in the CA Department that day told us that the defense will start Saturday (yesterday), and that the schedule will be announced Friday night. It turned out that they moved it (the first day of defense) to Monday. Could you imagine the restlessness we felt for not knowing when we will be defending and thinking that there's a possibility that we'll be presenting the day after, not ready or anything. SUCKS bigtime. Pfft. Anyway, back to my story. So we finished at about 2pm, had to go out and have the document printed. Switched from one computer shop to another since the first one we tried didn't have colored ink. Osang and I left Arby and Niko halfway through the printing and we proceeded to the LRC and ITC to borrow the multimedia projector and the keys to the TV and PC inside the room. Also bought a folder for the written report and photocopied some study materials. Imagine all the hassle only to know that OUR PROF IS IN SOME RETREAT AND WILL NOT BE HOLDING CLASS THAT DAY! He could've texted us (the reporting group)! GAAAAAH. Too tired and frustrated to get mad, Arby, Osang and I just finished the seatwork and left. Blech.
Makati and Libis.
So after my last class, mom and dad picked me up and we proceeded to Makati to have my laptop checked. I couldn't surf or do anything online despite my active connection. There was a problem with the system according to the guy in TCA. So they gave us a new unit, hahaha astig. We spent quite a few hours there since they had to check everything just to be sure there were no more hassles. Since mom and I aren't really the most patient people in the world, we decided to take a quick stroll inside the mall. We saw some stalls selling whatever stuff and I couldn't help not buying anything. Hahaha. Mom and I ended up buying a long wallet each, mine having pastel pink, blue, purple colors and mom's being different shades of brown. After that, we ate some Jamaican pattie and Henlin food. My laptop was ready to go when we got back, so we left in a few and proceeded to Shopwise Libis to do the grocery.
Of course, my favorite part of Shopwise libis are the stalls in the first floor. HAHAHA. I bought (I bought agaaain? haha) a pair of black sandals with a simple beaded strap. Was supposed to buy some chandelier earrings but they were too expensive for me. I've seen the same pairs of earrings somewhere at a much cheaper price. Hahaha. So after checking out the other stuff in the first floor, we proceeded to the 2nd floor and did the grocery. I bought my usuals -- Kimchi, Pesto, Bagel, Cream Cheese, Mint, Champola Chocolate and then some. Also checked out the bags, clothes, footwear and kikay sections and ended up buying two nail polishes -- a glittery blue and light purple. Heehee.
Pinoy Big Brother
I commend Roxy for choosing to march on her graduation instead of staying inside the house. Nevertheless, it doesn't stop me from thinking that this is just some scripted career move of the resident cry-baby. I mean, as early as January, I believe that she at least has an idea on when her graduation would be. So giving me that "My priority is education" bullshit won't work. If she indeed valued her studies, she wouldn't have entered PBB in the first place knowing that she'll be graduating this March. I'm filled with sarcasm when I say -- She has miscalculated the number of days she's to stay in the house and thought that she'd be out by mid-March. Goodness.
As for tonight's episode, I can't digest the fact that Zanjoe garnered the most number of votes for this week. Could it be that ABS-CBN has manipulated the results so as to build-up the already blooming loveteam of Bianca and Zanjoe? That. Is. So. Lame. I am not a fan of Rico, but I believe that he deserves to stay inside the house instead of Zanjoe. And oh, what's up with Bianca? I am not pro nor against her, but lately, I'm still at a loss on why she's acting all flirty around Zanjoe. I mean, ok it's a known fact that she has a crush on him, but does it have to reach the point where they're both too close and touchy-feely (holding hands and loooong hugs, I swear... the moments keep on getting longer each time). I wonder what's inside Mr. Lino Cayetano's mind right now. Tsk.
Sleepy. Zzzz.

Remember when I said something about my birthday this year being the worst? Well, I take it back! My parents surprised me with something that I never expected to receive sometime soon. Let's do a bit of a backtrack. My last class ended at 7:30pm. Mom and dad picked me up, as always. As I sat at the backseat of the car, my mom was pointing at the sausage pillow beside me and asked me to hand it over to her. As I picked it up and gave it to her, I saw it. A black back that looked like it contained a gem inside it. I shouted at once realizing that it was the thing I've been longing for for months already. My parents, the best parents ever, surprised me with a COMPAQ Presario B1800 Notebook PC. WOW. I was going "Wooow, grabe. Wooow grabe sobra." for 30 minutes or so hahaha. Can't get over it! Up until now. Hahehaeahaha. Named my new toy Snuffles, inspired by none other than Mr. Sirius Black. Heehee. Anyway, after my 'surprising surprise' moment, we had dinner at Zensho in Tomas Morato. YUM, JAPANESE FOOD! Heehee.
I love my 22nd birthday. ^_^
Hmm, still have lotsa things to write about but I'm too sleepy and tired already. I'll just post 'em tomorrow after our thesis meeting. Nyty!

Wow. Erik just SMSed me right now. Wheee! How he knew about my birthday is beyond me. Pero wow talaga. Erik Santos greeted me. Minsan lang mag-text yung tao, I'm so honored! HAHAHAHAHA, muling ibalik. Heehee. ^_^
And then before that, just about a few seconds upon receiving Erik's message, guess who greeted me through text? Ayyy si Dugyot! Haha,another codename, yes. Crushes are texting haaaaaaaaa. Haba ng hair. *ΓΌ*
Still waiting for ONE MORE. Hmm. Hehehe. Daming crush ano ba.

| Stressful birthday |
[15 Mar 2006|03:47pm] |
What. A. Stressful. Birthday.
Had to wake up early to print, photocopy and bind our final thesis. Despite the effort, I still arrived late due to the friggin' traffic. Osang had to attend to the things I mentioned earlier because after my morning break, Arby and I had a short quiz in RECONSE.
Speaking of RECONSE, I just have to say that I uber love that class. I always see Froshie (yep, a codename... just in case he chances upon my itsy-bitsy space on the web) in class because he's enrolled in the same section as I am. I can't believe I have a crush on a guy 4 years younger than me. Cradle snatcher on the loose. Hahahaha! I'll just share about him some other time. I'm using a public pc (some computer lab in school) and snoopers are all over. HWAHAHAHAHA.
Anyway, going back to my stressful birthday... We barely survived passing our thesis, submitted it 5 minutes before deadline. Hay. After that, we had to go back to the place where we had our thesis printed because Osang forgot her jacket there. HAAAAY HASSLE. But wait, that's not the end of it. After we had lunch, we spent the remainder of our lunch break (an hour and a half, at least) at CL1 (computer lab 1) to do our written report in MANSTRA to be passed this friday. I also had added work because I had to fix the draft of my research paper for COSK2-R to be checked tonight (a little more than an hour from now). Tsk. What a birthday.
So yeah, probably the worst birthday ever. Nevertheless, the thoughtful greetings of my family and friends are enough to keep me kicking. Still waiting for somebody's text, though. Ehem, ehem. Hahaha. *blush*
Thank You, Friend Lord for giving me yet another year. Mwah!
