itutuloy ko na talaga tong application ko sa ecotour. akshali desidido naman na ako dati pa. ang saya pala, nagiging close na kami ng batchmates kong di ko man lang nararamdaman nung first year kami. hehehe. at ang fun ng mems.

sa feb9, may quiz bee sa DOT. sa reg dapat ang apps pero di ako makakapunta dahil sa mtg sa report for anthro at.. at... dahil sa softball. haha karir.

sa (kelan ba yun?), may chuva sa mga bata galing orphanage. outreach proj.. ayun. o diba. friendships, nakikita nyo na ba akong na-iinvolve sa outreach projects kasama ang MGA BATA? ako kasi, hindi. kung feeders sa k-2 exams ang dating nito, good luck sa akin. sana di ako makapatay ng bata. hehehe. kelangan ko na ayusin ang aking attitude towards childeren. siyet. hahaha. pero sasama ako dun. pambawi sa quiz bee at para ma-test ko kung hanggang saan ko keri makisalamuha sa mga bubwit.

so help me god...

naranasan nyo na bang manginig dahil sa galit? yung hindi figurative ha. literal na panginginig talaga. ako, oo. tang ina, nakakatakot kaya!

kanina kasi, umalis ako sa PC sandali. ang magaling kong kapatid eh dinisconnect ako, eh may dina-download ako nun. halos 1MB lang naman yun, pero nabadtrip talaga ako kasi ayoko ngang pinakikialaman yung mga gamit ko. akshali, nabwisit ako kasi nanggagago na siya kanina pa. eh dahil tina-try kong huwag manakit, naninira na lang ako ng gamit.

shemps, namimili ako ng sisirain -- yung mga mura lang o kaya patapon na. kinuha ko yung lapis sa PC desk tapos pinagpuputol ko tsaka ko binato. o daba, drama. may kasama pang luha yan na sa kanang mata lang tumulo ha! anyway, pagkatapos nun, namanhid yung mga kamay ko. di ko sila maibukas -- half-clenched lang sila. alam mo yung feeling ng namimintig yung paa? parang ganun.

tatawagin ko sana mga magulang ko, kaso natense na ko nun eh. nanginginig din yung upper body ko -- parang tinutusok sa mga gilid. tapos yung legs ko, nanginginig din. ay, di pala... tumitibok sila. gets? alam mo yung involuntary twitches sa mukha? yung parang tumitibok yung mata mo? ganun ang feeling ko sa legs. pati mukha ko rin, nagti-twitch. at wag ka... minutes ang itinagal nito ah. tinry kong i-close-open yung mga kamay ko, buti nawala ang pamamanhid. kala ko mapa-paralyze ako noh. OA! pero shet... nakakatakot talaga.

moral lesson: pag galit, wag manira ng gamit (kahit mura pa ito). manakit na lang ng kapwa. hehe.

10.The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money, and thank God, are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE! (aba, affected ang gumawa! naka-all caps pa!)

11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.

one compound word: Wonderbra. (even that wouldn't work for me)
become a rock star (puwedeee!)
win the lottery
keep your opinions to yourself
never use words that are more than 3 syllables when you're with him. (hahaha bobohan talaga ito?)
look at her lovingly as you would gaze at yourself in a mirror
nothing says "i love you" like two round-trip tickets to greece. if that doesn't work, throw in brad pitt.
a sense of humor is always charming. subtle humor is seductive. nothing x-rated, please. leave that to Ethel Booba. (idol pa rin, no matter what. hehe.) and no slapstick either. leave that to ai-ai.
woo her mom as well, but not to the point where mom starts to think you want her body. (nyaaay afraid!)

HOW DO I DUMP THEE?

start an annoying hobby like collecting human skulls, dead cats, or witchcraft books. (hmmm...gives me an idea for a new hobby)
eat a dozen onions then take her to Lovapalooza.
remove him/ her from your Friendster account.
put to a good use the only movie dialogue you have committed to memory. Shout "You're nothing but a second-rate, trying hard, copycat!" everytime you fight.
come out of the closet... and do it wearing her stilletos.
right in front of him, flip a coin with your yaya to see who goes out with him.
on a date, use a timer. (i would prefer to use an hourglass)
brag "Had her, and her, and her, too" when you're with her at your high school homecoming.
ask her to stop at the drugstore and get your prescription for AIDS filled.
tell him you suddenly discovered that you have a religious vocation. (hehe panalo! sabel?!)
if you're female, shave your head. if you're male, don't shave.
expose your hidden sex video. everyone seems to have one these days. ('told you.)

Friend: A person whom one knows well and is fond of; intimate associate; close acquaintance.

But it seems that many of us have developed a different understanding of the concept “friend”.

Along the fast-rising popularity of friend-generating websites came the fast-changing perception about having a friend. There are a lot of sites on the net that have the same “friend generator” theme, and as we all know, Friendster is the most popular.

When this fad broke out, I refused to go with the flow. I have real friends anyway, all human and physically existent, so why should I look for friends online? I still don’t consider the thought of making online friends, though I have a Friendster account. When I checked my account earlier, I saw some messages from other people whom I don’t know and don’t care to know about either.

“Hi! I’m (insert name). Add mo naman me sa email na ‘to: (insert email add)” This is a usual “can I be your friend” message that anyone would probably get from a Friendster addict who is dying to reach the 500-friends quota of his/her list. This kind of messages automatically falls under my trash folder. I really don’t like getting friend requests from people I don’t know especially if the minimum “friend connection” we have are 3 friends apart! This just shows that that person simply wants to boast to his/her “friends” that he/she already has hundreds of “friendsters” and a million testimonials.

Not only these friend requests from people I don’t know irritate me. The exaggerated unjustifiable use of text lingo makes my head heat up even more. “Add mo naman ME” is just one example of the kind of messages that I can’t take. Why use “me” when he/she can use “ako”? It’s much more unforgivable if a guy uses that kind of lingo. Why do they have to use shortcuts when there is enough space to type in complete words and sentences?

So why did I even sign up for Friendster? On the brighter side, I got to regain connection to my friends whom I haven’t seen in years, especially my friend whom I lost connection with, ten years ago. Amazing isn’t it? Still, that wouldn’t change my idea about “online friendship” which actually seems to serve as a status symbol for Friendster addicts. I had 117 “friends” earlier and I cut it down to 114. I’m still on the process of deleting “friends”; I’m just waiting for them to have more on their list so that it wouldn’t be much noticeable if I deleted them. Rude? Ha.

I was already in high school when I learned to commute to Katipunan, but I have never gone there alone. I was always with my friends or with my parents and never by myself.

From my first class this morning to my last math class, I have been trying to get my ballpen to write smoothly but apparently, the ink refuses to come out. I’ve had two math classes this day and as we all know, the subjects require a lot of solving. I had to use my ever-reliable pencil since my one and only ballpen died on me. By the end of my last math subject (Math 1), I was already drowsing off, and my writing seemed to drowse off, too. I sat there after the class, thinking whether or not I should go to Katipunan to buy a pen.

I finally decided to go to Katipunan by myself since I was desperately in need of a Pilot G-Tec 0.3. After I damaged the tip of my previous G-Tec, I’ve been looking for a refill already. I tried to buy in Coop, Miranda, and even in SM, but there was no 0.3 pen. I decided that I should try my luck at the National Bookstore in Katipunan.

Before leaving the math building, I arranged my things first. I hid my cellphone in the secret pocket inside my bag and I put my calculator between my notebooks. I just wanted to be safe in case I encounter a snatcher (Why would I even think of that?). Anyway, if my bag got snatched, there wouldn’t be much in it but my phone and P40 in my wallet.

And so, I continued to Katipunan. Out of bad luck, it even rained. When I arrived at the bookstore, I went straight to the pens section only to find out that there was no black 0.3 G-Tec. What a nice adventure, isn’t it? I ended up buying a 0.4 G-Tec instead. The pen cost P39 and I only had two P20 bills in my wallet. Ha! At least I had enough coins to get me home!

It was already raining hard when I reached the campus. My pants were soaking wet and my feet were unsightly since I just wore sandals. At least, I got home safely without my bag getting snatched! I went through all that just because of a G-Tec.
