LSS OF THE DAY: "WITHOUT YOU"

From: RENT [Movie/Musical]

Dear lord, I'm exhausted.






Last Saturday, I didn't go home. So yeah, I was stuck in my cave (dorm).






And last Sunday, I had to attend this thing for LTS; okay, it was a Mass and sort of like a closing program but I found it to be dull. And what was worse was that the NSTP coordinator told us off for being noisy, TWICE! That was so humiliating. And to think, we're in college and yet we still act like a bunch of pre-schoolers. Oh well. We stayed in school until 8pm. As always, we played frisbee even though it was pretty dark. Lots of one-on-one moments that I'll never forget.






Sarah and Mau broke up; but I think they're together again. Or is it just my imagination?






My ninang from the States called me yesterday just to check on how I was doing. I was really touched when she told me that she misses me. She's one of those old people who knows how to relate to today's generation, since she has two kids who are just a few years older than me. She told me stories about her younger days, when she and my tito weren't married yet. Their courtship, how they were able to handle their break-up and still remained close, and how he proposed. Needless to say, it was nakakakilig; and coming from her, that's saying a lot! I told her about my current "situation" with--well, you know who; she told me some stuff and I'd rather not say them here. Ssssshhh! I can't wait for her to call again.






And I am very pleased to say that as of yesterday, I have a son! Not biological, of course. Remember our family tree? Iris is my "mom", Meg and Janel are my "daughters", Sarah's our "dog", Gian's my "sister", Albert's my "brother-in-law", Simon's my "stepfather"; we don't have positions for Judith, Claudette and Jigo yet, and now Jay (Albert's friend, who's been hanging out with us) is now my "son". Me, Meg, Albert and Jay stayed in school until seven last night in Lovers Lane. Just talking. Meg even took a video of Jay and his inability to do the steps that Jigo did last week; now I have something to laugh at when I'm depressed. No offense, Jay; love yah, m'boy!






And tomorrow's gonna be a busy day for us.

MARCH 12, 2008 (Wednesday)

8:00 - 9:00 -> Meet up at the Pav for Stat
9:00 - 12:00 -> Debate drill
12:00 - 3:00 -> CLASSES
3:00 - 4:00 -> Exam in Theology (should have been today but she didn't show up)

*and some time between 4:00-7:00 we have to take a quiz in Bio through E-Leap AND attend the election of officers for BESSCIFED.

Is that busy, or is that busy?






Which reminds me, I have to write down all that stuff that Meg told me for the debate. I volunteered to replace Judith since she really wasn't into it. At least I made someone's day.






I'm beginning to notice something. But I wouldn't want to sound hasty or anything, so I'll just sit back and watch how everything will turn out.






I saw him awhile ago in front of our building, while I was talking to Albert. I hate it when I get shivers down my spine everytime I see him. I am so weak. Pathetic, really.

"If he doesn't make a move, forget about him" - my friends.

But the thing is, I'm already trying. Why isn't it working?

LSS OF THE DAY: "FINALE B"

From: RENT [Movie/Musical]

I know your probably fed up with all my RENT crap, but dear, it's my head and it's my life so there's nothing you can do to change my mind. I love you!






I'm being sarcastic today. I wonder why.






I'm in the library computer lab typing my position paper in Theology since they didn't have any vacant computers in Netopia.





But before I went there, I withdrew money from my ATM since I was running low on cash, and I had to pay for my dorm. As I was walking there, I was calculating in my head how much money I should withdraw; dorm, pictures for the scrapbook for LTS, laundry, internet time, food..I guess that was it. So after I got the money, walked to Netopia and when they told me that they didn't have any vacancy, a voice in the back of my head said: "It's a sign, Lui; God doesn't want you to spend a lot today". Needless to say, I heeded that voice so I decided to go to the library and use my FREE internet browsing priviledges. GOD IS GOOD!






It was our last meeting in P.E. today; and our written exam was pretty easy. When Professor Adri asked, "Where was the last men's football league held?" (or something like that, I couldn't remember the exact question); we all stared blankly at her for a few seconds before she said, "You already have a clue". It was then I noticed that she was wearing a FIFA shirt with the German flag on it. Praying that that was what she meant, I wrote it down. And guess what? That was it! I laughed so hard afterwards. After that, Prof. let us play a bit so we started running across the field and when the guys asked if we wanted to play with them, we agreed, naturally! Had a lot of fun. I'm gonna miss going to P.E. every Tuesday at 7am to 9am. And it is our very last P.E. Very sad.







Oh yeah, yesterday, we went to Janel's house since Mark had to make a Powerpoint presentation for our Computer class. We were supposed to do our project in Theology but since Janel said that her parents wouldn't want her to be alone with a guy in the house, we went too. Janel doesn't have Theology this semester so we had to "pretend" that we were doing something else. After awhile, we started making fun of each other, taking pictures, playing "heart-breaking" songs (I almost cried because some of them made me really depressed), jammed with Mau as he played the guitar, had heart-to-heart conversations, danced and sang along (Janel took a video of me dancing alone and of me dancing with Sarah and Meg; I hope she doesn't upload it on Multiply. I'll never show my face in public again if she does!) and just had fun. We ended up going home around past 10pm.






I've noticed that we keep on coming home late over the past few weeks. But I'm telling you, that's just a taste of what will happed to us next year. I'll explain it some other time.





Something's wrong with Yahoo! Mail; a dialog box keeps on popping out about "failing to retrieve the weather data" and whatever. It's annoying.






I'm multi-tasking! I'm typing here, I'm typing my paper, AND I'm reading FanFiction!






Friendster and Multiply are blocked from the computers here so I can't check them out. And Sir Eric finally approved my invitation!






And when I'm done here, I have to run out to Dapitan and have it printed.







*sigh* I hope I don't see him today. PLEASE don't let me see him today. My day started out great and I don't want it to go crashing down if I see him.





Okay, now I really have to finish my paper since my class will be starting in an hour. I have to write three pages; but the font is Arial and the font size is 14 AND it's 1.5 spacing. Yeah, I can do it.







Catch yah later, love!

LSS OF THE DAY: "TANGO: MAUREEN"

From: RENT [Movie/Musical]

I listened to that the whole day yesterday; I really couldn't get enough of Joanne's beautiful voice.





I'm in the school library coz I'm saving on money.





I went to Baguio with ym relatives on Sunday and I just got back yesterday. The trip wasn't that long which surprised me a bit. It was like traveling from Dagupan to Manila; it didn't feel like we were coming from Baguio. I rode with Tito Jarius, Ate Menia and Kuya Abner since everyone else was left behind. Dad, Pats and Mon went straight to Dagupan, while Tita Marissa, Tita Melanie, Tita Inday, Tito Jim, Tita Vanessa, Tito John, Ally and Lauren followed around before lunch. I could have stayed with them but I think my Dad was concerned that I might get to the dorm late.





Had a lot of fun. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cold! I was already wearing pajamas, a long-sleeved shirt and socks but I was still shivering when I woke up. And it got even colder when I went upstairs for breakfast.





All my relatives (except for Tito Jarius and Tita Marissa) came from the States so I guess they're used to the cold.





I went to DS on Saturday. I missed talking to my friends there. Watched their field demo. I had a moment of weakness while I was filming it and I'd rather not mention it here 'coz I know someone will make fun of me for it. Ms. Manaois even talked me into riding the ferris wheel with her. I got a little dizzy after that since I wasn't really used to riding that thing. Nico had to drag me inside just to sit down so I could regain my equillibrium.






And speaking of Nico, I'm glad I have a friend like him. He's really nice and he makes me laugh. He's, in a word, malambing also. He likes to hold my hand in a very "sisterly-brotherly" way, since I do consider him as one of my "younger siblings" in school; and besides, I was classmates with is older brother in high school so that kinda makes our ties a bit stronger than the rest. Although some people thought that we were an "item" *cough*Chad!*cough*, we're just enjoying each other's company.





When Romeo came in with his family, he nudged me and told me that "there's your mother-in-law, sisters-in-law and brother-in-law"; even Jude (Romeo's brother) nudged him too, but I ignored them. There's nothing to say anyway.






I haven't made my lesson plan yet! I am in sooooooooooooooooo much trouble!







Well, I have to go. My classes start in thirty minutes.






'Til later, love!

LSS OF THE DAY: "LA VIE BOHEME"

From: RENT [Movie/Musical]

Uh-huh. You ain't gettin' that outta my system, baby. RENT IS FOR LIFE!





So anyway, the situation in the classroom hasn't changed yet, as if stuff like that evaporates overnight, huh? If only it were that easy then life would be so much easier. Our class president tried talking to us about it but we decided that we reall wouldn't go. I feel kinda sorry for her, since she's the one who's really showing that she wants us to go. but the rest? *scoff* Whatever.





And some of them just love to back-stab us. Go on, baby. Give it your best shot; you think that we'll back down on our decision and bow before you? You are so goddamn wrong. You think that your all that; well I've got news for you, sister: this isn't YOUR world where people follow your every move. We have our opinions too, and if you really respect us, you'd shut up. You'll regret the day that you ever messed with us, you EVIL WITCH.





I forgot to mention on my last post that we had an activity in English that day where we'd take a piece of paper, divide it in two, write on one side: "GOOD POINTS" and on the other side: "AREAS TO IMPROVE", tape in to our back and let people sign it. It was pretty fun, although I noticed that my friends didn't ask the people from the MAJORITY to sign theirs, and I was pretty sure that, given the way they've been treating us lately, they'd write down stuff that didn't mean anything. When it was over, I looked at my paper, and I laughed out loud. Why? Here's why:

AREAS TO IMPROVE:

Bad Tagalog

LOVELIFE

I swear, I was laughing my ass off! The "bad tagalog" part, I embrace whole-heartedly, but lovelife? LOVELIFE? I don't even have one to begin with so what's there to improve? But whoever wrote that, sure made my day.





Then on Friday, we watched the PASKULAY show because Jave was in it. Me, Janel, Meg, Sarah and Margot stayed but Judith and Iris had to leave early. As we sat on those steel benches, waiting for the show to start, some guys asked if they could sit with us. I was busy setting Janel's camera on self-timer so I didn't notice them until I came around to them and saw them already sitting there eating McDonald's. We were taking lots and lots of pictures while they were eating and we pretty much ignored them for awhile. One of them started talking to us and then another one joined in. When they were done, they left and we had the bench to ourselves once more. And a little later, two of them came back and started talking to us. We lamost forgot aboutthe show and we ende up talking to them the whole time; we even transferred to the field and sat on the grass to continue our conversations. It was already nine in the evening when we finally parted ways with our new friends: Jhay and Carlos, both freshmen, from Engineering.





Trent went whack that same night so I had him fixed yesterday in SM North Edsa since that was the only place that I knew of that had a Nokia store in it (Trent still has a warranty; it would be such a shame if I wasted money trying to have him repaired somewhere else). He had to be re-formatted. I went back to my dorm after that and I changed my clothes and went to meet with my friends in Mini-Stop because we had to go to Marikina for the football centennial thing. Since I didn't have a phone, I didn't know that they changed the location of the meeting place; so I was waiting for nearly an hour when I finally plucked up the courage to ask a fellow customer if I could use his phone to house my sim card. The first one just laughed at me; the second one didn't even hesitate to lend his phone to me, even though it was already low on battery. I finally made it to the LRT tation in Legarda where Meg and Sarah were waiting for me.





We got off at Cubao, and to kill time while waiting for Iris, we went to FULLY BOOKED. I saw sooooooo many Uncle John's Bathroom Readers there and I wanted to buy them all. If my sister was there, I bet she'd drag my Mom there too. When Iris came, we took a jeep going to Marikina.





When we got to the Marikina Sports Complex, there weren't a lot of people. So we bought food, sat down on the bleachers, took lots of pictures, watched the games, took lots of pictures, cheered for the teams, took lots of pictures and...well, you get the idea.





We had to leave around past eight because we didn't want to miss the LRT. Sarah and I had to pray that the gates of UST were still open or else we'd have to pass through Lacson, which is sooooo dark and creepy; plus, a lot of hold-up cases have been reported in that area. Thankfully, one of the gates was still open but we had to pass through a dark UST and Sarah kept on jumping 'coz she thought she "saw" something. We made it to Dapitan without any other problem and I made it safely to my cave.





The strange thing about not having a cell phone, I don't realize what time it is since I always check my phone. While I was dancing, I checked the time on Tony and it was already past midnight.





This morning, I went straight to SM North Edsa to claim Tony, then I went to Fairview; and I'm still here.





I invited Grizzly Bear to Paskuhan, and he agreed! But he said that he won't stay very long; that's okay. As long as he comes; too bad I can't do my smileys.





I must be off. Sorry if my post isn't organized; I'm kinda in a hurry.





I'll see you later, love!

LSS OF THE DAY: "OUT TONIGHT"

From: RENT [Movie/Musical]

Uh-huh. I now have a name for what I'm going through: THE RENT SONG SYNDROME; you like?





Smileys. Miss them.





Classes got suspended because of the strike so now I'm here in Netopia typing my assignment in History. So in a way, it's like a blessing ni disguise; at least I don't have to wake up at an unearthly hour tomorrow just to do it.





Okay, so this Christmas party thing..WHAT THE HELL?! I swear, if they blame us for whatever they could think of, they'll finally see the worst side of me.





What the heck am I talking about?





The thing is, our class officers want to have a Christmas party; we would have been okay with it, if they actually listened to what we wanted. Sure, they ask us what we want, but do they actually listen? Hell no. They have this big group of friends on one side of the room, while we're on the other side of the room. And what they want, they get. They completely ignore us. I dunno who said it, but they dubbed their side as the "MAJORITY" while we are known as the "CULTURAL MINORITY". How pathetic, and not to mention degrading and insulting, is that?





And one of them said, "We want to have a Christmas party becuase we want to celebrate it as a class". Honey, look around; do you think that our class is united? Or are you too plastic to admit that your only saying that to put up a good front?





We would have been okay with everything if you didn't just listen to your inner circle. Your not the only group that breathes inside that classroom; in case you haven't noticed, you didn't include the OTHER HALF of the class in your votes and whatever. YOU people voted yourselves as class officers, whatever YOU want gets followed. And do you think that just because we don't speak up we don't care? If only you saw the looks on our faces I bet you'd say otherwise. And besides, we've tried talking to you, but you just wouldn't listen, so we didn't bother anymore.





I'm not talking about just one person; there are a lot of them.






And a while ago, when class was dismissed, someone said that we shouldn't go out yet because the party still had to be planned. Then someone said that whoever wasn't going to attend the party may leave; so we got up and made our way to the door. Apparently, some people thought that we didn't hear the "stay to plan for the party" part so they repeated it; and then someone else repeated the "you can go if your not coming to the party" thing. I saw the looks on their faces; they looked a bit surprised. I bet they haven't had anyone walk out on them before, and I'm glad we did.





If they ask us why we didn't want to go, they'd better be prepared for a very long speech. They have it coming. And I'm actually thinking of some very good curse words that'll leave their noses bleeding. How sweet that would be.





I'm being mean, I know. But I'm just so effing mad at them. They need to be brought back to earth. Just because they were given their positions, (or rather, they chose THEMSELVES for that position) doesn't mean that they could abuse their powers. They have responsibilities too, you know.





I'm sorry for this "hate post", but I just had to let it out. Me and my friends already had this conversation earlier; Sarah was still fuming when we separated. And I'm sure that the MAJORITY will be talking about this. And come on, as if they're gonna miss us. They have a huge group and they only talk to us when they need something. Plastic, much?





*sigh* Okay, I should stop now. I still have an assignment to do. And I apologize if I didn't make a lot of sense; I'm still upset.





Until next time, love!

From: RENT [Movie/Musical]

Like I said, I love it to death. Even my cousin was laughing at me for being stuck on that movie for so long.





And just like yesterday, no smileys. I'm in the school library using up my free internet access.





Sometimes I still wonder if they really grew up at all; last semester they were so darn noisy that I just wanna punch the living daylights out of them. Everytime they sit together, all else becomes nothing but murmurs and whispers because of them; they talk so loudly! It's not my fault that I care about passing my subjects and they don't.





Once again, I am hooked on FanFiction. Dramione rules!






Whoever want to exchange links with me, please link me and I promise to link you back as soon as I can. Remind me, okay?





Oh, and one more thing before I go:

GRIZZLY BEAR!!!

MAJOR relapse, love.




I can't use my smileys. Boo-hoo.




Sorry for the very delayed update; I've been pretty busy. It's not that I'm forgetting to update, on the contrary, I always make it a point to think about updating every once in awhile, but due to the present circumstances, I just can't. But I appreciate the fact that you guys keep on checking in for updates; that makes me feel very loved. So, a very big THANK YOU to all of you!





I guess the really great thing that highlighted my week was my trip to Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa last Tuesday. No, we didn't get arrested (although all of us were already eighteen and above so we have every reason to get arrested), we were actually there to teach the inmates; inmates that were captured when they weren't even twenty-one. We left the school a little late 'coz the driver was taking his oh-so-sweet time, but we didn't mind. That gave us the opportunity to get to know each othee better; there were at least three or four represntatives from each course in my college and I didn't know some of them. On the way there, we were laughing and talking about everything and nothing; and they even made fun of me! They are so lucky that I was feeling good that day, otherwise I would have blown up on them; but in a goooooood way.





When we got there, we waited for the others to come because they had to commute since we couldn't fit in the van that we used. Once they arrived, and they did all these check-up things and the guys hadto get stamps on their arms, we went in. We went to this little room-sized building; the inmates started coming in.




We did the getting-to-know-you activity first before we had some real fun. I wish they let me bring my digicam; oh well. We had this activity wherein we say these statements and they have to answer "That's me" or "That's not me"; one of us said: "I am attracted to the opposite sex". One of the inmates said, "That's not me!"; very, very proudly. Man, we got a good laugh from that.




We left around past three; Waki and I still had classes so we had to rush.





Everything else was pretty much a blur after that.




So, moving on, to yesterday. We didn't have classes becuase the professors had to attend a seminar or something. But I had to get to school at nine in the morning because we were supposed to have choir practice; but when I got to the Pax Romana office, no one was there. I thought, "It's still pretty early; maybe they'll be coming in a little late". So I sat down, took out Tony and read the book that I brought with me. After twenty minutes or so, Lance showed up and told me that practice was cancelled because Kuya Pao (in charge of the choir) had to go home to his province. Lance told me that ke sent messages to us the night before, but by some stroke of bad luck, I didn't get it because Globe was going whack. We talked for awhile before I met up with Sarah outside; her group was going to interview some people for our assignment in BES.




When we were almost done, one of my classmates said that Jade was looking for me. I texted her and she said that we were going to interview the Editor-in-Chief of the Varsitarian that day; again, she said that they texted me the night before, so I didn't recieve it. I went to the Tan Yan Kee building and waited with them. The EIC of the Varsi was so talkative! But he made us laugh once in awhile which was pretty good.



After the interview, I met up with Sarah again in the carpark. Then Meg texted me and asked me if I could accompany her to do her interview with the CSC President (Central Student Council); I told Sarah and we both met up with her. The guard wouldn't let Sarah in because she was wearing slippers so we went to my dorm, I put on my rubber shoes and she put on my step-ins. When Meg was done, we went to Lovers Lane and took a lot of pictures! I'll upload them the next time I get home.




We went to the AB building afterwards because we had to attend the BehSciFed meeting with the people from the team building seminar in Marikina from last time. It was great to see them all again. Kuya Sherwin and Ate Hannah were being paired up by us and I'm pretty sure they hated us for it. Kuya Benedict looked so wasted so I tried to cheer him up by talking about the Bilibid trip. Kuya Chuckie, playful and funny as always. I love those guys; and I am so gonna miss them when they graduate.




We talked about the theme for the upcoming launching of the Federation. I want a goth theme!




Jan and I were bickering over something. Hahaha!




After the meeting, Sarah, Meg and I went around UST; all the lights! And the laser! Now we know where our tuition fee's going. Again, pictures will be uploaded when I get home.




By the way, according to a very reliable source of mine, Kuya Pao was impressed with how I was able to reach the really high notes during one of our practices, despite me being sick with the colds and all that. Awwww. I so love Kuya Pao now. Hahahaha!





Sorry for the blunt post. My creative juices dried up for some strange reason.





Well, I gotta go. I still have to go to the mall. Anyone want to come with me? Hahahaha!





See you, love!

IT'S SO COLD!




Just a few days ago I was beginning to think that the months in the calendar got switched because the weather was so not BER-y; you get what I mean. The sun was always out and the heat could make your clothes stick to you with sweat after just a few minutes. But now, honestly, I haven't shed a single drop of sweat. When I woke up this morning I was freezing so badly; I didn't even use the electric fan last night and I was already wearing pajamas, socks and a long-sleeved shirt. And when I got out of my room the temperature didn't change at all. Now that's what I call cold




I slept so soundly last night that I didn't wake up so early and I am so happy about it; I rarely sleep straight without waking up in the middle of the night. Thank goodness that I was able to sleep like a log




I was so busy last night; I was reading FanFiction while downloading songs, chatting with my cousin, Pao, and my friend, Jan; while uploading videos on YouTube and uploading pictures on Photobucket and texting Albert; talk about multi-tasking, eh?




I still have colds




People are asking about my smileys again; I won't tell you where I got them though. Beh!




It's gonna be Janel's birthday in a few days and her party's coming up soon as well; and I still don't have anything to wear! Help




..wait a sec; if Janel's birthday is in a few days, then that must mean--holy crap! I totally forgot!

IT'S DECEMBER!

I can be so ignorant sometimes




"You guys broke up? Why!?" -- oh, c'mon. As if you haven't heard of that already.




I'm not looking forward to going back to school on Monday. I swear, I just wanna lay down, close my eyes and SLEEP for as long as I can. I think the pressure's finally getting to me..




Too bad I'm not well enough to audition. Oh well. There's always next year




I might edit this post later.

LSS OF THE DAY: "FORTUNE FAVORS THE BRAVE"

From: AIDA [Musical]

I wish Adam Pascal was my husband; that way I'd be able to listen to him sing to me every single day

I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

I've had a very tiring week; I swear, if things get any harder I don't think I'll be able to cope with it.




First: On Sunday, we went to The Block near SM North Edsa; I had Mom buy me three books and I bet you will not believe what I got. "BORED OF THE RINGS", "THE DA VINCI COD" and the music sheet of Les Miserables; okay, the last one was okay but you gotta admit that the first two sounded funny. Then they dropped me off in the dorm since I had to attend that stupid LTS seminar; I had to dress up really quickly 'coz I think I only had fifteen minutes to spare. I speed-walked to the Engineering building (which was like, on the other side of the campus so it was a pretty long walk) and got there at around 3:05. I was so exhausted that I sat down as quickly as possible; but when the roll-call came, I was mentioned so I approached the iunstructor and asked why I wasn't called. She consulted her list once again but she didn't find my name so she told me to go to another room and look for one of the instructors who has the over-all lists. I left and went to the said room but he said that he didn't havve the list so he told me to go to another room and asked the instructor there. I did as he said but when I got there, surprise surprise, my name still wasn't there. So, she told me to go to another room; this time, the instructor in that room had all the lists and I finally found where I should be. I already wasted almost thirty minutes going back and forth from all those rooms. We'll be teaching in Bataan in Febuary.




Then, on Monday, while I was in Netopia and Tony was plugged on the PC, when I took him out, ALL MY SONGS AND VIDEOS were gone. I was so upset; Tony was one of my links to civilization! I had almost 2,000 songs and a lot of videos; ALL GONE. But luckily, I saved some of the songs so I asked one of my classmates to transfer them for me. I'll just have to download the rest later.




Tuesday, during P.E., we had to learn how to pass the ball with our heads (I'm taking up football with my friends); it hurt as first but as we got used to it, it wasn't so bad. But my head hurt so badly on my way back to the dorm, along with my back, legs and the upper part of my arms. Later in the afternoon, I was sitting outside the classroom waiting for the freshmen to come out when I saw one of my old friends; we talked for a while before he went up the stairs. I missed him. When the people in the classroom came out, I went in with my friends but as soon as I sat on my chair at the back, the PA did its annoying opening tune. At first I thought that they could be praying the Angelus but then I realized that it was almost one in the afternoon; the Angelus was said at twelve. Then someone announced:

"Attention, may we request all students, faculty and personnel to be please evacuate the building and proceed to the pavillions in front".

I was surprised but I immediately grabbed my bag and followed everyone out of the room. I felt my phone vibrate in my bag but I didn't take it out since we were still walking and there were a lot of people so I couldn't risk dropping it when someone bumped into me. Once we were outside with Sarah, on of my friends, we frantically searched for the others; when we couldn't find them I thought of texting them so when I got my phone I read the message someone sent me earlier. It was one of my classmates, and friend, Janel, who said that there was an earthquake. An earthquake? No way! I didn't feel a thing; and from the look on Sarah's face after I told her, she didn't either.Then our ABSC president came by and told us to go to the Plaza Mayor where all of the AB students are assembling. We went there and talked with a few more people, asking if they felt the quake; some of them did, some of them didn't. We managed to find our other classmates and we wiated for any further announcements; we even took pictures just to kill the time

So many people; Meg and Sarah goofing around

We thought that classes were going to be suspended but they resumed it anyway; darn




Wednesday, quiz in Statistics and PhilHist. After class I attended the Pax Romana choir practice; it's been awhile since I attended because of all the stuff we've been doing. I really missed it there. Made a lot of new friends too. We finished around six; on my way out, Kuya Sherwin saw me and called me over. He told me some stuff and he asked if I was available next Tuesday; I said yes, so he asked if I wanted to join the exposure trip to Bilibid. Naturally, I said yes; it may be a prison, but the memories from last year's trip there came flooding back and I really wanted to go there again. He said I could invite one of my classmates. Then we talked for a while longer nefore leaving. It was also about this time that I decided that I will not audition for Moulin Rouge; my colds aren't getting any better




Thursday, we had our reporting in English and we were required to dress up in corporate attire; I had to ask Hazel if she could lend me some since all my other stuff is in Dagupan. She said we did very well, and I think we did okay. At least we're done. And, yeah, the whole coup d'etat thing. I asked my Mom if she could pick me up from the dorm and to immense surprise, she agreed. I only knew about the whole Trillanes thing when my Dad texted me; I asked Meg to fill me in on it. When I got to the dorm, I waited for Mom. After about an hour or so, she went up to my room; I asked her why didn't she just text me? Turns out that I haven't been recieving any of her messages for the past half hour. She told me that we had to get out of there as fast as we could because they imposed a curfew. Needless to say, I was silently panicking while we were on the road; there was no way in hell that I am going to spend a whole night in a police station if we got caught. And guess what? We passed through the last check-point at exactly 11:59; how cool is that? So, yes, we were spared.




Thank you to the people who were texting me that night and to those who tried to keep me calm




Now I'm home and I'm hoping that there wouldn't be another seminar on Sunday.




I really hate being sick




I can't believe how stubborn he is! I WANNA KILL HIM!




Okay. If that's the way she wants it, so be it.




I saw someone last night when we were in one of the restaurants along the Expressway; she looked so--familiar.




So far, I haven't had any weird dreams and I've been sleeping very well for the past few days. Usually I wake up in the middle of the night or early morning a few times but not any more. I hope it stays this way




I've written about twenty-five pages of my story in one of my notebooks. Now I'm getting a major case of writer's block. Darnit




Martina McBride's music videos of "God's Will" and "Concrete Angel" made me cry. Watch them yourself: Concrete Angel, God's Will.




Alright, best be off. I have a lot of downloading to do

LSS OF THE DAY: "HOW I KNOW YOU"

From: AIDA [Musical]

You know as well as I do that I'm never gonna stop obsessing over musicals, right?



It's been an interesting week but the highlight of it was:

I TOUCHED A CADAVER!

Yup! You heard me! And it was so cool! I wanna do it again



Lots of work to do. I hate secomd semester; the hardest subjects are usually there




I forgot to mention in my previous post that I had three dreams in just one night; well, morning to be exact; I kept on waking up so I wasn't able to finish all of them. The first one involved Romeo; I can't remember which one of us was leaving but he kept on saying "It's not fair". I was curious, I wanted to know what it meant.




The second dream (right after I fell asleep again), it was raining, and I was standing on a ship. And to make things a little more weird, Orlando Bloom was standing beside me and Johnny Depp was somewhere there ordering people around; I was in Pirates of the Carribean. Another ship was chasing us and they were pelting us with cannon balls and--arrows? Who uses arrows in a thuderstorm during a ship-chase? So, anyway, Orlando (or rather, Will Turner) got hit and I had to take of the arrow and try to stop him from losing a lot of blood; he woke up awhile later, and so did I. I would have loved to finish that dream



Third dream: We were in a huge house; it was abandoned but then we weren't really sure if the real owner of the house was still there or not; in other words, dead or undead. You get the picture. We were lookig for something so we searched through the whole place; we even had some police guys accompany us; big guns and all. We went to the top floor to search the room of the "owner"; it was locked so we had to use the spare key we found somewhere. When it opened, we stepped inside and I saw that the electric fan was on; I remember telling my companions nervously that we should hurry. After a few minutes, I stepped out of the room and there was a flight of stairs behind me; all of a sudden, I heard a creak. I looked down quickly, only to find that a cat was passing by. I sighed in relief but then something strange was moving from my peripheral vision; a hand was creeping up the railings of the stairs and then I saw a person; all I thought of at that moment was to warn my companions because I was staring into the evil eyes of the pwner of the house. I waved my arms frantically because no sound was coming out of my mouth; I finally managed to blurt out: "She's here!" before waking up. It was then I realized that I actually screamed it; my heart was beating so fast that I was afraid that it would fall off or something. And then I prayed that my room mates didn't hear me; thank goodness one of them was fast asleep while the other one was taking a bath at that time. Whew!




Wierd, huh? But it keeps my life interesting




I'm coming down with the colds. Darn it



I'm planning to audition for Mediartix some time next week. Wish me luck

Enrolment was HELL. We waited in line for more than three hours and in the rain too! My feet were killing me and we had to have our registration forms xeroxed for NSTP; we finished around near 6 in the evening. And I had to wait in traffic while going to the bus station; and I got wet. Darn rain

Went to Dominican this afternoon; Kathleen won't stop bugging me into going. I saw my classmates from high school and I had fun talking to them; I can't believe how much they've changed. Not in a bad way though.



I asked Nicole a not-so-personal question; and I was surprised at his answer. Actually, he made my day



I tried to avoid Romeo, and I succeeded



I had fun talking to Cledan and Nicole



I just got the biggest shock of my life; until now I don't think it completely sunk in or something



I am STILL obsessing over Draco and Hermione



I'm still exhausted.
