In my last post, I was raving about Daniel Radcliffe, but today I'll be raving about something else -- my favorite song as of the moment, Passenger Seat by Stephen Speaks. It's been playing nonstop on my computer. Whew. :) It's just so dreamy... Imagine someone singing that to you. Isn't it just totally romantic...??? :D



"And I've got all that I need right here in the passenger seat... And I can't keep my eyes on the road knowing that she's inches from me...



Anyway, the conflict involving my other "project" has been resolved, so, I'm again putting up a link to this site. It's something I made for the juniors (3rd year) back in my high school. They're NOT my batchmates (actually, only in name coz I'm a JUNIOR in COLLEGE), I am *drumroll* four years older than them. So there. Go view and sign the guestbook, okish? :)

I'm so into Daniel Radcliffe. I'm like a school girl absolutely drooling over this 13-year-old boy. He is sooooo cute, with this sexy British accent and this I-just-hit-puberty quality to his voice... Hahaha, cradle snatcher! :) I was just reminded of how adorable he is coz I saw him on Oprah in Star World toady. Thank God I don't heve classes on Tuesdays! :D



Speaking of which, I heard there was a bomb threat on UP Manila today and the Chancellor actually suspended all classes. I was supposed to have a meeting for JMA today but Ces, our president, called to tell me it was cancelled. Bomb threat at UP Manila? Come to think of it, we're situated near some important institutions -- the Supreme Court, Department of Justice and the Court of Appeals to name some, and of course PGH and the US Embassy are only a few blocks away. Still, the idea of bombing my school seems so far fetched, ridiculous even. But then again, wasn't that what they said about the World Trade Center?

Unknown till it was discovered by archaeologists, the mystic horoscope is divided into 12 signs, each one ruled by a different Egyptian god. 4000 years ago, mothers took their new born baby girls to the Temple of the Sun on the banks of the Nile, where priests consulted sacred writings to foretell the infants' romantic futures.



OCTOBER 16th - NOVEMBER 9th

ISIS, Goddess of Miracles

Those born under the sign of this ancient Egypt's chief goddess have a magic touch. With a smile, they can captivate any man who attracts them. Finding Mr. Right is easy for Isis' daughters they can spot him a mile off and snare him/her with their great charm.



--from an email. Hey, I had no classes today! Actually, I had no class today. I only have Technical Writing 2 on thursdays and a few minutes after I left the house, Ley texted me and said we weren't going to meet. Woohoo! :D



I'm considering selling my old Sweet Valley books at our village tiangge... But I'm having second thoughts. I might regret not having them (y'know, sentimental value) but I really would like to have some spending money for Christmas. Besides, I'd like to help my mom replace the Palm I lost. Hmmm... Bahala na.

Watching Charmed already (which means I made it on time -- hehe) and Paige is sooo pretty! :D



Anyway, I went to school today and was late for my first class -- it was raining hard in Las Pinas when I left. Y'know, I think it's costing me more to bring a car to school than just commuting... Although I got a raise on my allowance to cover gas expenses, I still feel I might be spending too much. The gas prices are just too high. And I go through 2 major highways (Coastal and D. Macapagal) so the rightmost pedal takes the strain, and gulps the gas! I really have to weigh the pros and cons. Whew. I admit it's more comfortable and I feel secure bringing the car. It's just so unsafe out on the streets nowadays.



Speaking of which, it was not a really good day last Friday because I lost something of great value, and my little sister did too. I'm not gonna say it again coz my dad doesn't know about it -- just playing safe. :) I was disheartened when my 8-yr-old sister said, "Ate, ang dami talagang masasamang tao sa Pilipinas, no?" I hate it that at such an early age, she is given reasons to distrust people. Pfft. Some people may be evil... but... I don't want her to lose faith in the whole of humanity. Every single one of us, after all, are inherently good... and I believe it! :)

Not a really good day today. :( Details later.

Gamol ng last post. Eto na talaga... Good night to me...

Still up. Bangag nko. It's papa's birthday today. Walang. Wanna know what I've been up to? Heheh. (decided to delete the link...). Waaah... Tulog nako... Ey I've got new links... check them out... Raych and Sam. And to everyone else who remembered me and signed my guestbook, BIG THANKS. Anyway, I'm off... zzZZzzZZzz...

P.S. If you're visitor number 3,000 (counter is under the &others box to your left) let me know! :D

First day of school today. I watched Harry Potter! Haha. My sister said, "Mama, si Ate hindi pumasok. First day pa naman. Nanood lang ng Harry Potter." Actually, that's not true. My first (and only) class starts at 2:30pm so I left home by 9:00am so I can catch the first screening at Rob. :)



Bad thing happened today. While I was driving along Coastal, I was suddenly struck by this terrible, terrible headache. There was light traffic in Zapote but I had a hard time focusing on the road coz it really felt like my skull was cracking. I was afraid I might pass out. I considered parking somewhere and asking my mom to just pick me up (it was that bad). I was breaking into a cold sweat. I turned of my aircon and I was perspiring but it still felt chilly inside the car. When I got home, I went straight up to my bed to take a nap. Whew. I wonder what that was all about.



Maybe it's just a case of "sembreak-sickness." Hehe. I miss bumming around so much it makes me sick. :D

well, what do you know... I'm suddenly feeling better. Cry for help heeded -- by a Killerdork and a Paulinian. You probably don't know it and you probably don't care (Zip it! Sh*tty mood yet again? Enough!)... but you cheered me up.



And now, it's time for the smile. -- :D

I'm hungry. Why am I hungry? Dammit. Reductil's acting up.



Sorry for the gibberish. I think I need to sleep, but I'm pretty sure I'll just figure out something else to do if I log off... just so I won't go to sleep. I wish someone, anyone would text me right now. I think I'm about to get sucked into my pointless thoughts. Blah. Angst, anyone?

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by my frustrations. So many things I want to do and be, and yet, I am stuck in this moment. Unproductive and whining. I feel like a failure.

Put up our Christmas tree today... Motif is green and gold. (hmm, school colors? hehe. :) Ayun. I watched charmed. Galing talaga... I love that show.



Anyway, this Thursday is supposed to be my first day back to school. Shoot. Work, work, work nanaman. I have six major subjects this sem! I'm guessing I'll be really busy again. But then, what's new? Haaay. But I have to make sure to be home by 9pm on Monday. It's the Charmed Season Finale. Can't miss that. :D

Deleted the comments thingie. Can't make it work. Sorry, friend, you just have to be patient with my guestbook. :D



Bought a new pair of shades and SIX Friends vcd's! Woohoo! My collection's expanding! Yey! :D Right now I'm reviewing my sister for her Religion class. They have to memorize the mysteries of the holy rosary. She told me that there is a new set of mysteries -- so there is already a total of four. Aside from Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries, we now have the Luminous Mysteries. Judging from the my sister's list, it's includes some of Jesus' miracles and acts of faith.



Hmmm... I remember my grade school and high school days... Sometimes I miss Religion class. It's so easy to take for granted our obligations as Christians when no one is constantly reminding us to do it. Back then the administration would take care of the First Friday masses, Confessions, Retreats, praying of the Holy Rosary and even our blessing before and after meals. I for one used to complain about it, but yes, sometimes I really do wish myself back to the time when all you had to do was wait for someone else's instructions.

Pretty uneventful day... Just went to the dentist to have some fillings, and then went to the grocery with mama and my sister. I bought a Corrs Unplugged DVD but it won't play. :( My papa says it's because the TV is of a different system or some technical thing... So there.



I've finished watching 9 volumes of FRIENDS vcd's. It's my new collection. :) I already have volumes 1-4 of season 1, all volumes of season 2 and both volumes of The Best of FRIENDS vcd's. :) But I still have a looong way to go, coz there are already 8 seasons available on vcd, and I really want to know what happens in season 9 coz that's when the 9/11 tragedy happened. Because the series is set in Manhattan, New York, I don't remember an episode of Friends where the Twin Towers or the Manhattan Skyline is not shown. I want to know how they reacted to the tragedy, but the vcd's of the 9th season will probably be released here after a year or so.



Anyway, to anyone thinking of giving me a gift this Christmas (ehem, ehem) I would very much appreciate vcd's of the remaining 6 seasons. I will be eternally grateful, I promise! :D

I'm trying to make the comment thingie work...

I went to school today to enrol. Next sem's schedule is very much like last sem's. I still don't have classes on Tuesdays and Fridays. Gawd... I missed my blockmates. heheheh. Na-miss ko yung kakulitan at kadaldalan nila. Heheh... typical orcs! :) Anyway, here are some pics during our sem ender about a month ago.Wala bang sem starter??? Hehehe...



gazebo, terrace, perverts!

My father was born under my sign too. We both have strong, dominant personalities. We are both opinionated and principled. We are expressive. And when we speak our emotions, our words can sting if we want them to.



Sometimes, I plainly abhor the fact that there are two Scorpions in the family. Our personalities are so similar that it’s unimaginable when the two of us clash – much like having two ferocious, stinging Scorpions fight it out.



Ironically, when we are both in good moods, we are also the most malambing. But I won’t talk about that now because I’m totally pissed off by his latest 10-minute lecture, which, by the way happened less than an hour ago.



When he reprimands me, I always think, My words can’t hurt other people this bad. He just has this way of lecturing and scolding me that’s more upsetting than being yelled at. It can really make me feel so wrong and so little, and me, being the typical Scorpion, would want to reason out and defend myself – but I know better than to wield my own string of stingy words at him. Nothing can change his mind and it would only aggravate the situation.



Many times, I have wished either one of us were born under a different blanket and alignment of stars. I have gotten used to blaming our conflicts and arguments to the fact that we share the same zodiac sign. But when I think that if it really is written in the stars… there truly is nothing much I can do to change them.

From my comedienne friend ABC, commenting on her life as an ECE student at Diliman:



"A THREE"

I think that i shall never see

A grade as lovely as a three.

A three that's earned with blood and sweat

When failing is a serious threat.

A three i've asked from God all day

Knowing praying is the only way.

Exams are taken by fools like me

but only God can give a three.

new layout...



i'll be going to DFA tomorrow to get a passport. I know, 19 and "passport-less"? Even my 8-year-old sister has one. I had to get one because my tita who's based in Japan wants to fly me and my brother in to spend Christmas with my cousins. I hope it works out... it would be nice to get out of the country. Specially now that things aren't really okay... Very confusing... Don't wanna think...



...hence the "shattered" theme. *sigh*

Great quote from tonight's episode of Smallville:

"What would you do if you had the power to see anything?"

"Learn to close my eyes."



On a lighter note, Googlism certainly had a lot to say about me. Haha. Thanks Psyche for the good laugh.
