Hindi ako natapos mag-enroll nung Lunes; una'y dahil tinamad akong magpa-assess sa OUR dahil galing akong Philcoa nun at walang diretsong jeep. Pangalawa'y dahil down ang CRS sa AIT, dalawa pa lang ang nakukuha kong classcard at hindi ako makapagpa-verify ng grades! For more, wala pang grade ang 199! Kung kelan naman 9 units na lang ako, dun pa ako natagalan mag-enroll. Hmpf.

Hemmingway, nagkita kami nung Monday sa SM nung closest (not closet) friends ko since high school. Eh since kami lang ata ni Bea ang atat na atat magkita, nasa SM na kami ng around 3pm. 4 hours yata kaming naglalakad-lakad at naghahanap ng makain bago dumating si Raini, tapos dinner na. Nakita pa namin si Jec, si Ms. Vargas, at Ms. Avante. Ang saya-saya. Parang high school reunion, with teachers pa! Tapos nagchi-chismisan kami habang nagdi-dinner; eh ako pa naman, napakalakas ng bunganga. Sana talaga hindi narinig nung mga teacher namin yung pinag-uusapan namin. Juicy pa naman ang usapan, with names and all! wahahaha.

Pero di naman yan ang highlight ng pagkikita namin.

Nung gabi na, pasara na ang SM, nakarating pa si Nikki. Grabe! 2 years na kaming di nagkikita non! Eh sa pito ko pang kabarkada, si Nikki yung kabatak ko sa maraming bagay. Siya yung pinakakilala ni inay sa aking mga kabarkada. Ganon yata pag pati mga magulang ng friends mo eh magkakakilala. Huhu grabe lang, imagine, two years yon! Debut ni Bea nang huli kaming magkita. Tapos ngayon numu-nurse-nurse na si Nikki, di na mukhang yaya! Pero dahil sa hectic sked niya, mukhang matatagalan ulit bago kami magkita. Siguro sa grad ko na lang. Pagdadalhin ko sila ng banner na "WE LOVE YOU GDWN -- from your fans."

At ngayon namang pasukan na, usapan namin ni Adyssa na magla-lunch kami sometime ng aking BA friends. Hindi konyo yung mga yun. Sila yung mga jologs sa BA. wahaha. joke lang. Sila din yung lunch buddies ko kasi nung high school--yung mga kasama kong sumalampak sa corridor habang nilalantakan ang baon. Huhuhu kelangan ko na talaga sila makita ulit. Kailangan ko makausap si Anisah para pagsharean ng GC-ness, si Ady para sa latest chismis, si Joan para sa boys of Hollywood (hehe), at siyempre si Jeff para makapanlibak lang ng kapwa.

Kelangan maging happiness ang last sem ko sa UP. Buhay tamad pa naman ang sked ko ngayon. At may MS1 nga pala ako-- ang huling subject kung saan last chance ko nang maexperience magkaroon ng kaklaseng gwapo. Kahit cute man lang sana! Jusko, sa tanang buhay ko sa UP Diliman, di man lang nabahiran ng kagwapuhan ang mga klase ko!!! (sorry naman, di talaga kayo gwapo eh) Aba'y kailangan ko pa bang mag-sit-in?? wahahaha.

Naabutan ko pa yung last performance sa MTV Europe Music Awards 2006. Nagulat pa nga ako at si Justin Timberlake ang host (kamusta naman). Pero naloka ako nang makita ko ang Finnish metal band na Lordi na nagperform. Akala ko Halloween special na concert lang. Tapos narealize ko, magpapasko na. Yun pala, talagang ganun itsura nila pag nagpeperform.

Kanya-kanyang gimik lang nga yan. Parang Slipknot na laging naka-maskara at Mudvayne na magastos sa face paint. (Pero sa "Dig" video, naka-mask na rin sila. Akala ko tuloy Slipknot.) Eh yung Mudvayne naman, ewan ko ah, hindi naman kagandahan ang pagkakapintura. Parang clown lang. wahehehe. O baka hindi lang talaga ako familiar sa kanila. Slipknot... gusto ko masks nila. hehe. Pwedeng serial killers sa slasher films.

Pero wag ka... eto ngang Lordi ay costume kung costume talaga. Anong laban ng Beauty and the Beast diyan?! hahaha. Hindi ko naman sila kilala; in fact, first time ko silang makita sa Europe Music Awards, pero naappreciate ko ang effort sa costume. Seryoso! Natuwa talaga ako nang makita ko sila. Personalized pati mic. hehehe. Nakakatuwa lang tingnan ang Slipknot at Lordi para sakin, eh di naman ako nakikinig sa ganyang musika. Alam nyo naman ako, mga Aegis ang pinakikinggan. hahahaha. hahahahaha. Hindi sila yung tipong idodownload ko talaga ang kanta para mapakinggan. Ok na yung madaanan lang sa MTV. (sorry, pirata)

Speaking of awards show, sometime nung sem break ay ipinalabas sa HBO (o Star ba?) yung Scream Awards. Unlike other movie awards show, concentrated ang Scream Awards sa Horror at Fantasy genres. For more, pati comics pinarangalan nila. At ala-MTV, may unusual categories din sila like Best Flesh Scene at Most Memorable Mutilation. At dahil malapit sa aking puso ang mga pelikulang ganyan, talaga namang tinutukan ko yung awards show. Bonggang stage, bonggang trophy, at bonggang video clips. Aba, aabangan ko to next year.

Minsan, napag-usapan namin ng aking ecotour friends ang tungkol sa buhay high school namin. Sabi ko, "Paano kaya kung sa private school ako nag-aral?"

Ang sagot ng CherMan, "Hindi ka siguro namin kaibigan ngayon."



Why is that naman? A lot of people kasi, see students from private schools as "maarte" or "conyo." Come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with being like that naman diba? I mean, like, you know, people like that are not really conyo or whatever... They must be kikay lang talaga. Or maybe, they're just, like, luklukan ng yaman (ewww, the word!) Eh that's how they have been raised eh. That's how people around them act talaga. There's nothing wrong with that naman, right? As in, hello?!

I haven't observed naman talaga many students from private schools. I only know of a few who studied high school in private and/or all-girls schools. What's it like kaya? You know, to study there? Kasi right now, in AIT, as in the Asian Institute of Tourism, there's so daming girls. As in, we're like an all-girls school na rin. I can actually make bilang the number of guys in our college, excluding the kloseta or pa-mhin ones. Oh my god... in our batch, the guys are like, bilangable with my fingers! Is this boy drought na talaga? Or are there just soooo many girls (you know, like me) talaga in our school? Grabe, if i had studied in an all-girls school dati, maybe college won't be too different. Here in college naman kasi, people are still able to make salita in English all they want. The students can also make hanap boyfriends from other schools or colleges (kilig!). It's like that naman diba? You look for prey outside your school? Oh my god, wouldn't that have been very exciting?

Anyway, had I not studied in a public high school, I might have been very matalino talaga, right? I would have spoken English as if it's my first language, as in like, English with my friends, English with my profs, English with my pets, and English with the rainbow, even! That would be, like, totally fetch. That's just English naman noh. It's not like I'd be conyo or anything. One more thing pa, since I'm matalino naman like that and all, siyempre I'd be looking for more i*******tual r*****tion! Siyempre, with my friends naman noh. As if I'd be alone just because I studied in a private school.

Pero who kaya my friends have been, if I did not make aral in a public school? Since I wouldn't have been friends with CherMan and other pobre people, I probably would have been BFF (best friends forever, oh my gosh!) with those like me! I mean, those who studied in private schools din. I still would have been friends with Charming, who studied in St. Scho. I still would have been friends with Graciela, from St. Paul naman. Ang fun naman kaya non! We'd like, go to the hottest boutiques and spend all our yaman... shempre Graciela will take us in her car diba? Oh my God, ang fun kaya nun! What do you think? Grabe, that's the life talaga siguro. Just spending salapi on, like, everything, and eating very mahal food. Mmmmm. And don't forget, making chika with my friends like this. Awww... the could have beens talaga!


Kaya lang, I'm born pobre and all. Tapos I am really jologs pa. Pero hey, who cares, diba? There's nothing wrong with that naman. Just like there's nothing wrong with what we call "conyo." Ok, that's it for now. Bye! muaaaahh!!


Ay nako, for sure, may mga tangang magbabasa nito. Maghahanap ng underlying messages na wala naman. Cammon. Get a life. Live long. hahahaha.

Nakaka-lurkei.
