scars and girlfriends
me : may matindi akong problema...
ellein : ano?
me : may 6 akong mosquito bites sa hita, dahil nagovernight kami sa school last week. nag-OFF! na nga ako, lalo pa 'kong nangati. huhu...
pauline : sus, akala ko naman kung ano.
me : natatakot ako kasi magpepeklat to, eh ang dami.
ellein : sus, mawawala rin yan, wag ka mag-alala, namumula pa ba?
me : hindi na. nawawala ba talaga to?
ellein : oo. makikita mo mawawala rin yan.
it might not seem like a real problem but for me, it is. seriously. and i have another new scar on my lower shin from hitting the edge of an elevated screen door. all of these are on my right leg. i might as well have it cut off. (kidding..., i still love my leg no matter what) gah!!
i love the way my friends give me hope. i love them to bits.

gossip girl
grabe, ineexpect ko na puro chismis lang and all ang gossip girl series, hindi pala. maganda yung kwento, cinematography, casting.. nakakatuwa!!
and chace crawford (nate archibald) is so hot. haha. don't you agree, ro? haha. (blair-nate ako, ro, hindi blair-chuck). anyway, here's a snapshot of him:
i just hope the producers of the tv series don't follow the real flow of events in the novel, i hope they write a different story from season 2 onwards. the novel consists of 12 books. i've read the spoilers and i think it (kind of) sucks.
highlands
nakakapagtaka kung iisipin ko na nakatagal ako ng apat na taon doon araw-araw noong highschool na walang jacket kahit tag-ulan pa. pati last time na pumunta ko dun nung sembreak bahagya lang naman akong nilamig. tapos kanina manginig - nginig na ko sa sobrang lamig ng hangin. hindi naman ganito nung mga nakaraang december e, mild pa ng konti. kanina kasi, dahil sa lakas ng hangin e yung mga vase pati yung mga porcelain kitchenware natumba, yung iba nabasag pa(hindi kasi agad nila sinara yung sliding doors).
hindi naman kaso ang attire dahil nakapalda ako kanina ng kasing haba ng palda namin nung highschool.
ohwell.
(i might spend more time with my friends there so i guess i'd get used to the cold all over again.)

first week
Earlier today my mom and I went to the grocery in Dasma after buying IP 141 requirements in Bambang, we bumped into an old family friend who has a son in UP-CP (Levi-3rd yr BSIP). She told my mom that there remained only five regulars among the 3rd yr BSIPs, Levi being one of them (at sa loob loob ko, hanep ka Levi!). Yon. Then she told my mom how they replaced the separatory funnel (1.5k) her son broke. She even warned me to be careful with burets, since they cost around 4k.
Hm. Pressured, much?
It's good to know every once in a while that you're not the only person experiencing whatever it is you're feeling, the paragraph that follows is an excerpt from angge...

experiences
Kuya: Saang school kayo nag-aaral?
Iji: UP po.
Kuya: O? A, dyan sa Manila. Anong course?
Iji: Halu-halo e.
Kuya: A. Ako din UP e, Diliman, Conservatory of Music.
Iji: A...
Kuya: Dyan ba sa Manila meron ding Music?
Iji: Wala. Kinanya nyo na lahat e!
Kuya: Eh econ, meron?
Iji: Wala rin. Kinanya nyo na nga e! Lahat na e.
Kuya: O, wag ka masyadong tampuhin, ang bilis magtampo nitong si ano e.
I never knew until last Tuesday that making your own music was fun (plus it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be -- or maybe that's because the people I was with were inspired?? o naninibago lang ako dahil magaling lang talaga sila. haha. dapat hindi nila mabasa to, laki ulo.)
Yon. Anyway, I'm also very grateful Karen posted something about Romeo X Juliet in her blog. I am now an addict. I don't have the patience to download it via torrent, so I'm watching it at crunchyroll(another one of my newly discovered highly useful sites).
I've also been wanting to listen to Brewrats at 99.5, but everynight I can't resist sleeping early so I have never been able to tune in at 9-12.
I'll spend the rest of my day in MMP, visiting ina. That reminds me, it's been a decade.

- One Hundred Years Of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Of Love and Other Demons - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Piano - Bob Kroepel
- Chronicles of a Death Foretold - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- The Virgin Suicides - Jeffrey Eugenides
[i'm craving to watch the movie version of the virgin suicides, though.]
Here's my philosophy on dating. It's important to have somebody that can make you laugh, somebody you can trust, somebody that, y'know, turns you on... And it's really, really important that these three people don't know each other. - Brooke Davis, One Tree Hill

okey. ibang topic naman.
nakakaadik ang big girls don't cry at signal fire. maygad. mga 30+ beses ko na pinapatugtog pero di parin ako nagsasawa. totoo nga yung sabi ni karen, pangkasal yung signal fire (uh, sabit nga lang sa chorus). pero badtrip. wala pang pdf sa pianofiles. buti sana kung kasing expert ako ni rik mangapa. sa performance naman namin (hindi ko pa nga rin alam kung sinu-sino mga kasama ko), sa big girls don't cry lang nila ko mapapakanta. all else, keyboards na lang. kahit ang forte ko ay piano (i.e. classical piano).
(notice the entry's title doesn't connect with the body of this post. but it matters most.)

kung hindi pa kayo nakakapunta sa Fully Booked sa Bonifacio High Street, punta na! bale 4 floors sya, hindi pa kasama dun yung basement na manga section (hindi ko pa rin naman napupuntahan yung basement dahil hindi pa bukas nung pumunta kami nila Kayla at Karen).
hindi ko pa malaman kung bakit, pero parang nawalan ako ng interes sa mga novel, saglit lang siguro 'to. pag matagal na 'kong di nakakabasa, baka bumalik na yung hilig ko.
nakapagtataka siguro kung bakit ko ine-endorse ko ang Fully Booked, kung iisipin mo na nababagot na ko sa mga nobela. kasi ganto, yung 4th floor ay music section (yiheeee!!!!). mga cds, lahat ng genre, mas kumpleto pa sa mga record stores. meron din mga libro na sinulat ng mga sikat na banda ngayon. pati meron din mga compilation ng mga classical immortals sa piano.
nababaliw na ata ako. pero hinde, hindi dapat, bata pa ko at marami pa kong dapat problemahin (i.e. chem18, pharm chem 125.1).
6.22.2007
yun din.
PAG-IBIG NGA NAMAN...
Ang tao nga naman. Bakit ba ginawa ang pag-ibig? Eh nagpapa-corny lang naman ito sa buhay? Tignan nyo ko... ang corny corny ko nah! Anak ng tilapia! Sabi ko sa sarili ko dapat cool ako. Astig. Pero bat ganun? Sadyang tumutubo ang ka-cornihan sa aking sarili. Bakit kaya? Hmmm.... inlab ako mga fwendz... pero chikreto ko nalang kung sino.. Ahahaha... basta... natutuwa ako kapag nakikita ko ang kanyang smile. Nakakatunaw. Nakakaakit. Nakakatakam. Nakakalula. Nakakasabik. Nakakabaliw! (exagerated na ko maxado) ahahaha... basta... para syang anghel. Ang ganda pa ng eyes nya. Hala! Lumalandi nanaman ang lola nyo. Wasus. Pero sya ay malayo... malayung malayo... Hanggang tingin nalang yata ako. Hanggang pa-hello hello. Hanggang pabati-bati. Hanggang pakilig-kilig. Too good to be true kumbaga...
(yung mga naka-bold ako lang ang nagbold nun...)
bibili na ko ng bagong swimsuit, yung pang scuba diver o yung pang wrestler. para kahit sinong nanonood hindi ako mako-concious at malaya akong makakapagswim-swim. haha. swim friends, kung nababasa nyo to, sabihin nyo lang kung gusto nyo sumama. bibili ako sa wet shop o spf.
masaya ako para kay angge, alam ko yung ganung pakiramdam. Ü haha!!!

pasukan na ulit. ano ba. iniisip ko kung anong mga nangyari noong wed, thur at fri pero puro mga pagkain lang ang nilalarawan ng utak ko. siomai, lechong manok, pinya, spag, turon, liempo, strawberry jam.
ok. may naisip na kong may koneksyon sa pag-aaral.
ang galing mang-intimidate ni Ilao, yung bago kong prof sa chem 18. ayon sa chismis, galit daw siya sa mga taga-CP. hindi naman ako sa kanya natakot. ayon nga kay ma'am Ambojia (na kasing-appeal ni Ilao), wala kang dapat ikatakot kung wala ka namang ginagawang masama. ayon. pero sa subject niya ko nag-aalala. pati sa subject sa susunod na taon na siya at si Mr. Lee ang magtuturo.
next week siguradong mamromroblema na kami.
mas maganda ang BURGUNDY kaysa cityland. oyeah!!

peyborit DIARYa
Well... well...well...
Dahil sa harteyk at hartbreyk na naganap sa aking buhay, isang bagay lamang ang makakapagpaligaya sa akin. (teka.. baka malaswa yang iniisip mo ah!). Ito ang pagkakaroon ng crushes. Teka.. ano ba ang katangiang gusto ko sa isang lalake para sya ay maging crushable?
- may takot kay Lord at kay Santa Klaws.
- sya ay kwela, mabait, at may sense of humor... marunong kumain ng bubog at lumunok ng manok.
- may respeto sa kababaihan. Isa sa pinaka ayaw ko sa isang lalaki ay ang bastos at walang respeto lalo na sa kababaihan. Kung ako lamang ang nanay ng mga ganong klaseng lalake, avah! Ako na mismo ang puputol ng pototoy nila dahil simple lang ang ibig sabihin ng ganong ugali... Bading sya at wala nang saysay pa ang pagkakaroon nya ng ting-a-ling-ding-dong.
- sasakay sa mga kalokohan ko sa buhay.
- understanding.
- sweet ^_^
- magaling magsulat. O kaya ay magbabasa ng aking mga sinusulat.
- magaling mag-gitara at tutugtugan nya 'ko habang ako naman ay kumakanta. Kung natagalan nya ang mala-kulog na boses ko eh pwede na...
- makakasama kong gumawa ng mumunting mga bagay... gaya ng pagkain ng icecream habang nagmumuni-muni, pagsa-star gazing, pag mu-movie marathon, pag-inom ng hot chocolate habang nagtatampisaw sa ulan at pagsagot sa aking mga "Knock Knock Who's There".
- ikukwento nya sa akin ang lahat ng bagay tungkol sa kanya... wala syang itatago... kahit ang mga mababahong side ng kanyang pagkatao. Kahit ang pagkakaroon nya ng dugong chanak o di kaya'y ang kanyang kulay pink na brief.
- makikinig sa mga problema kong mala-telenovela.
- simpleng mayabang pero hindi mahangin.
- hindi super duper gwapo... ayoko ng maraming kaagaw.
- mapagmahal.
- medyo kamukha ni Keanu Reeves at Ben Affleck. Medyo kahawig din ni Quasimodo.
Hayan at nasabi ko na ang ilan sa listahan... kung ikaw ay may dalawa hanggang lahat na katangian sa mga nabanggit, ipadala ang iyong resume at 1x1 whole body picture sa aking e-mail. Ang mga mapipiling kalahok ay magkakamit ng trip to Jerusalem for seventeen at ang aking mahiwagang PAGHANGA. ^_^
galing sa artik ni Blanca rin, "SA...." May 27, 2007:
Sa pagbabasa ko ng KWENTONG TAMBAY ni Nicanor David Jr. aka BatJay, nalaman kong ang itsura pala ng pototoy na jupots pa ay mukhang ice candy na may bonet. Biruin mo!! Ice candy na may benot pa?!
Buti nalang at wala akong nakitang ice candy na may bonet sa Oblation Run... hasus...

**I can't get this song off my mind: Put Your Records On (Corinne Bailey Rae)
Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?
It was more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

things i should not have done
All the stuff I did (and eventually stopped doing halfway through) cost me the combination of these four: time, physical pain, brain space and money. For the sake of justice, I shall not enumerate all of the different activities I tried. The only positive thing I could make out of these is having a neophytes insight/knowledge of each and every one of these activities. Who knows? I might find these various insights useful someday.
Little things I found out/accomplished today:
2. First time I became really close to a mom, my duet partner's mom. I was a lot closer to her than to her son!
3. Kuhlau is one of the best composers.
4. Finished the novel Adam's Fall by Sandra Brown.
5. Two guitars sounds better when played using guitars (with the castanets and violin bground) instead of the piano. (oo, akalain mo yun..) Unfortunately I can't play the guitar.

ngayon ko lang na-appreciate ang allie ng tatay ko sa mga Remulla. na-appreciate ng buong buo. dati kasi, mga 3 taon nang nakaraan, ininbitahan niya yung kapatid ni Gilbert, si Jonvic sa Amadeo, kung saan merong munting kainan sa bahay ng mga pinsan ko. madali na lang hulaan ang reaksyon ko at ng mga babae kong pinsan. pero siyempre hindi namin pinakita sa kanya na sobrang kinikilig kami. nung umalis siya, saka namin pinag-usapan.

the quiet
pano kaya yun? akala nilang lahat disabled ka. pano pag sinabi sayo ng lahat ng tao mga sikreto nila? tas alam mo lahat yun. o kaya may mga sinasabi sila na akala nila hindi mo naririnig pero naririnig mo naman...? tas malalaman nila bigla na nakakarinig ka naman pala.
gusto ko maranasan yun, kahit isang araw/linggo lang.
may natuklasan akong mahalagang bagay (para sakin) ngayong araw na to. classical pianist ako. nalaman ko to habang tinutugtog ko ang Moonlight Sonata ni Beethoven kanina matapos ko marinig 'to sa tv bilang background.
(si Beethoven nga pala'y bingi sa huling 20 taon ng buhay niya. kitams. ang galing. nakapagcompose pa siya nung mga panahong yun a. wala ka nang ibang magagawa kundi magtaka. see above)
kahit gaano karaming piyesa ng mga tipo kong modernong kanta ang meron ako ay klasikal parin ang hilig ko. yung tipong 200-300 taon nang pinaglipasan ng panahon.
makukumpleto lang lahat ng pangarap ko pag nagkaron ako ng short grand piano sa sarili kong bahay. pangako ko sa sarili ko bibili ako nito pag may trabaho na ko. sobrang mahal ba naman. 300K ang pinakamura. pero gusto ko bechstein, steinway & sons, pleyegel (brand ng piano ko), o bosendorfer.

bakit naman ang tagal mag-update ng mga moderators ng peyups.com? yun na nga lang ang inaabangan ko lagi na source ng mga essays at short stories.
good thing there's esnips.com (online resource of books, music, etc). that's where i get novels.
there's this song Six Days off the Tokyo Drift soundtrack, it gave me the lss, though i'm not much of a rap fan.

egoista dynasty
Congress - a much better alternative if you want to stay in power and be far more filthy rich.
Why make their unexperienced wives run? There may be a lot of reasons to it. I'm thinking: to stay in power, to remain in control of the business transactions happening in town, to hold office until their kids are old enough to take the position from them (yeah dynasty!), to remain beneficiaries of progess, or to serve their beloved people (to continue what their husbands have started, blahblah). Everyone knows the last reason's just for cover.
Castillo. He wasn't able to do anything about the annoying traffic situation in Bacoor during the length of his 3 terms! The hell. Nagsuggest nga siya thru a large billboard sa MMDA, anong silbi nun? Why set the billboard up in Bacoor? MMDA nga. He should have put it up in the Cavite-Metro Manila exit. Sino mga napepeste sa traffic situation sa Bacoor? Lahat. Bacoor's the north end of Cavite, so it's nearest Metro Manila. But there's one thing amusing about him. I can't help but laugh everytime I see his face in the numerous billboards and posters in Bacoor. He looks like Moe (the tavern owner) from The Simpsons! hahaha! Last year he ordered the Bacoor Police Station to be closed. Why? Because he said he was against the political dynasty threatening to take over Bacoor if Strike Bautista (Revilla) won for mayor against him in the coming elections. Then he makes his wife run. Wouldn't that be political dynasty just the same? What an outright MORON. Tagalog: BOBO. See this.
Barzaga. I give him credit for Dasma's becoming a 1st class urban municipality (and the light traffic situation). I appreciate the escalator-overpass being constructed, but I hate the fact he started the project during the campaign period. What a very obvious ploy to make voters select him and his wife. Plus the vanity! He uses government funds to display pictures of him with his family around town. The pictures come with friendly government reminders, but the images are more noticeable than the reminders themselves.
I can only hope they lose.

panira yung compleshiooon na yun. kahit sa june pa, panira pa rin.
si boni ang may kagagawan ng lahat ng to.
18 candles rin ako sa debut ng elementary friend ko, so magiging malaking ESS-South reunion yun. pero may dilemma na naman. Hawaiian Theme!
nagsuggest si blockmate niña kanina ng grass skirt with bikini top. omaygad! na-imagine ko agad belly dancing eh. hahahahaha. walanjo talaga yun.
anyway, ang naisip ko isuot, at sinabi ko rin kay byan ay knee-length halter dress na bulaklakin at havaianas. magsasabit na lang siguro ako ng talangkay ng orchid para mukhang hawaiian. hehehehehe... joke.
magpapahaba na lang ulit ako, dahil kay riel (& rik). :D

what a waste
she perfectly knew everything from the beginning, she watched everything transpire during senior year. she knew he has the sweetest, most insincere tongue around, conversing in english when he's starting to get insincere so you wouldn't notice the tone in which he says his words. no, i'm not the only one who sees this. sabi nga nila, masyadong matamis ang dila niya. sabi nga ni katukayo, halata namang hindi sincere, pa-english-english pa.
anyhow, who cares? it's her life. she's free to make a mess out of it.
i won't do anything about it anymore.

bummer!
they'll be swimming, fishing and riding a boat while i'm stuck with an old woman who expects too much from me.
sa bagay. kung gusto ko talaga makapag-qualify dun sa bach contest na yun, kelangan career-in ang pagprpraktis. namimiss ko na si Teacher Donna.*sigh*
sayang hindi na kami ng blockmates ko makakapagswim this summer. mga baby pa kasi. hehehe.. :D pero isa lang ang ibig sabihin nun. mas magiging masaya next summer. yay!!!
i want to go snorkeling with them, sa galera (kung saan inanod ako ng tubig habang nagbabakasyon noong bata pa ko, buti na lang may mga mas matatandang naglalangoy dun, kundi, nasa antartica na ko ngayon.), o sa subic, o sa kahit anong beach resort na may reefs dito sa Pinas.
speaking of snorkeling, i'm dying to buy this swimwear top from wetshop. i saw it in MOA a few hours ago while i and my blockmates were walking around the mall. hindi ko lang masabi na gusto ko tumigil dun sa shop na yun dahil hindi naman makakarelate ang lahat. so yun. sinusumpa kong bibilhin ko yun very soon, pag napadpad uli ako sa moa.

ang cute cute ni baby Melo, parang maliit na kuya Obet. sayang hindi ko napicturan.

classic
hm.. maybe it's the world's way of reminding me i need to take a brake from all the school work i've been drowning myself into and train again. at least during vacation [i don't think i'll be enrolling in summer classes this year].
i do need to train again. i remember playing the instrument in my friend kayla's house last month and doing really bad on the piece i effortlessly played when i was in high school. so much for embarassment.
oh well, come what may. [but i do have plans]
look at the stars, look how they shine for you.

new ripway music -> Yellow by Petra Haden and Bill Frisell

musicovery
it's an interactive webRadio, with really fast transmission (if you're using broadband or DSL). sadly, it doesn't have OPM in it since it is concentrated on British and American music. nevertheless, it will expand your musical range. :D try it!

sa susunod na sabado na kasi ang huling pagpunta at pagtuturo namin 'dun. naluluha tuloy ako. pwera biro. naluluha talaga ko ngayon. naalala ko kasi yung isang studyante namin, si Tonton (Antonio Salva). grabe. sobra siya magsikap para matuto magbasa ng maayos, tapos ang nakakaiyak pa dun e madalas siya paiyakin ng mga bully. inaasar na bading siya. tingin ko'y hindi naman.
nagkukuwentuhan kami nila Anne at Tonton kahapon, tinatanong - tanong namin si Tonton tungkol sa family niya, mga trabaho nila. tapos napaisip na lang ako. binulungan ko si Anne, "hindi ko kaya yung ganun...". sabi naman ni Anne, "oo, no? di ko rin kaya yung ganun...".
sa loob ng isip ko naman pinagdadasal ko na 'wag ako tanungin ni Tonton tungkol sa pamilya ko at trabaho ng mga magulang ko. magiging awkward kasi, bata pa siya, umiikot ang buhay niya sa Ilugin lang, baka hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit magkaiba kami...
tapos meron isang bata, si John Andre, grade 1 siya. binibisita niya yung kuya niya kahapon na grade 5 sa fifth floor, kung nasan kami (5th graders kasi na-assign saming ng partner(s) ko). ang kyut kyut!!! hinabol ko pa yun dahil ayaw niya magpabuhat. grabe ang liit niya, ang kulit pa. :D may picture sila ng kuya niya sa baba.
osiya, tama na ang kwento, eto na ang mga letrato:
actually marami pang hindi nakasama sa kodakan. absent kasi sila. 12 kids kung kumpleto lahat.
so yun. masaya ang experience, nabigyan ako ng bagong insight sa buhay. bagong inspiration(s). :D mamimiss nga lang namin yung mga yun. :c

seventeen
"Now that I am in college, I realize that it is a such nice feeling to go back and reminisce the wonderful life I had.
Life had been, still is and will be wonderful for me, I know.
I am young, optimistic, and full of life.
I am positive and true.
Above all, I am responsible for the choices I make.
My life's purpose is to experience love, happiness, contentment and serenity. And my mission is to create a meaningful relationship with myself, my family, and with the people -- who, in one way or another -- have touched my life.
I cannot agree less with Pablo Picasso when he said that "everything that you can imagine is real."
I affirm that my dreams are coming true.. and it's happening NOW."
- Johnnel Tepora
(my personal academic inspiration)
today i turn seventeen. yehey!!! :D
thanks to God, mom and dad. without them i'd be nonexistent.

nakakaluha
nakakaluha. isa yan sa mga pagkakataon na mapapaisip tayo. kung ga'no tayo ka-swerte, kung ga'no kababaw ng mga pansarili nating mga problema kumpara sa iba at kung ga'no natin napabayaan ang mga dapat natin intindihin.
nga pala, i replaced the ripway music in this blog with a livelier one.
osige na, dapat nag-aaral na 'ko ngayon eh.

12-17
wala kasing mangyayari sayo dun kung hindi ka nagpaka-nerd. Philo 1 exam - monday, Math 100 exam - mon, Comm 2 requirements - tues, ip lab 121 reporting - wed, chem 14.1 exam - wed, ip 121 lab exam - sat (up until 7.30pm. mga sadista sila eh.). sinulat ko lang, baka sakaling may ma-cancel pag sinulat ko, tulad ng pagpplano, hindi natutuloy pag planado. hehe.
kawawa naman kami ng mga blockmates ko na (backstage) concert people. pero hindi groupies. nga pala, nagsawa na ko kay pochoy (dicta license vocalist). hehehe... tama pala ung horoscope ko sa Inquirer Libre nung friday. Natatabangan ka na sa kanya. hahah!!! sakto!
nawawala pa retainers ko sa taas. hindi ko na nadampot nung nagsipilyo ko bago ako umalis papuntang Manila nung isang sunday. nakita ng nanay ko sa sipilyuhan, nilagay niya sa tupperware, pagka-uwi ko nung weekend hindi na namin mahanap ung tupperware. sana magpakita na siya...
hm... at least i still have something(s) to look forward to. going to team manila with my girl blockmates and my birthday!!
[may tanong ako. ako lang ba ang naeexcite pag malapit na ang sariling birthday o lahat ng tao ganun?]

notice how this is the first time i wrote about 'it'. closure. it's all about closure. (linya ni Mandy, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
bottom line is the experience made me a lot stronger and wiser, and i wouldn't change that for anything in the world. not even for a chance to retain the strong bond of friendship i lost.
let me share with you excepts from an article from one of my favorite websites. (syempre, peyups din ako eh. hehe... :D) uh, the article somehow reflects the way i felt. FELT. past tense (i saved the article about one year ago).
Love Stories : Losing Faith###############

"It's over. Finally, I can breathe. I can have a life again, something apart from always trying to be there for you. I can stop trying to understand, trying to make you see that we can work through this, that our love is worth fighting for. All the uncertainty, all the confusion, all the pain of not knowing where I went wrong, is finally over.
"D*mn you for putting me through all that. D*mn you for taking my belief in love, my belief in forever, my belief in you, and handing them back to me broken, saying you can’t deal with them anymore. You will never know how much you hurt me by just giving up, you will never know how much you scared me from loving as much as I loved you ever again.
"I did not deserve to be hurt that way. And you didn’t deserve my trust.
"So much wasted emotion. I had so much more tenderness to give, I could have stayed with you longer, but you didn’t think it would be worth our while. I know you still love me, as I know that you were too d*mned scared to be vulnerable. And I was stupid enough to hope I can help you conquer that fear, or live with it, so that you can take the risk of letting me into your heart. Not anymore. You would rather hurt me than let down your guard.
"But the worst thing about all this is the simple, stupid, pathetic truth that I miss you. I miss you. I knew losing you would be painful, but pain, I can deal with. I can cope with the sharp, intense rush of emotion that cuts like a knife, but is relieved somehow by tears and is dulled by the passage of time. What I didn’t expect was the sadness – the steady, lingering hurt that comes with the realization that you will never again look at me as if I’m precious, special, and infinitely cherished, you will never again call me “garnet ko” with the tender amazement that I really am yours. I miss you.
"Some goodbyes are final. I have a feeling this one is."

adaption
about travel. unang bes kong makasakay sa lrt1, lrt2, lrt3, lahat sa iisang araw. o, di ba? bago ang ilang trains ng lrt1, ganda. parang allergic sa kalawang. di pa nga bayad ang inutang natin sa ibang bansa na lrt2 ayan na naman at nangutang na naman tayo. ang gagaling nila magpapogi para masabing may pakinabang sila habang binabaon nila tayo sa utang, yan, iboto nyo ha.
dun sa taas, about travel, naalala ko ulit 'yung blockmates kong mokong. wala ba naman tigil sa kakaasar sa'kin at isa pa naming blockmate. haha.. woohoo!!
alumni homecoming bukas sa alma mater high school ko (and i'm gonna miss NSTP for it!). balitaan ko nalang kayo next time. Ü
posible maging masaya kung saan/dahil wala kang mapapala. Ü
any form of adaption is good. - ms. valbuena (psych10)

drama rama
i couldn't point my finger at the word that best fits this this. (there. i can't explain myself, as usual.)
maybe this is just a case of one of those adolescent chuchus where teens are stupid and rebellious and lazy and hasty and curious and adventurous and paranoid(?), or just plain annoying.
ah. enough!
.....
listening to music while typing my blues away distracts me and changes my mood. well, maybe that's what i need, a big, sleazy, diversion. good thing i thought of plugging my ears into incubus before i completely give in to this.
^ which gives me an idea, i'll change the dicta license plugin in this page into one of the many remarkable incubus songs.
***sometimes, i feel the fear of, uncertainty stinging clear. and i can't help but ask myself how much i'll let the fear take the wheel and steer. it's driven me before, and it seems to a faint, haunting mass appeal. but lately i, am beginning to find that i, should be the one behind the wheel. tomorrow brings, i'll be there. [drive]***
wala naman talaga kong intensyong magdrama. pasensya na kung 'yun ang kinalabasan.
