Sleep Is GOOOOOD...

Almost 3 AM now. But still, I'm watching X-Men Evolution. My brother says I'm desperate for something to watch. Well, yeah, I kind of am. Don't get me wrong, TV is my life, but recently there's just not that much to see. WWE, CSI, nothing else... I don't know. I think I have to go back to TV viewing soon. This watching of whole series in my computer is just getting addictive. I guess I'm just too lazy to watch TV now because my remote's broken and my brother replaced it with cheap ones so those keep on breaking easily too. Now, I'm using one that requires me to be about a foot from the TV before it works. So now I have to lie on my belly the whole time if I want to watch.

It sucks.

I should've asked for a nice remote control for Christmas.

It isn't too late though, Three Kings is still a day away...

I gotta get back to what I'm watching. I wanna finish this episode before 3AM. Or else someone would have to hose me awake later.

P.S. The movies sure screwed up the storyline of X-Men. And cartoon Wolverine is HOT!

Cheese-cheese-cheeeesy!!!!!!

I love cheese popcorn. I go to the movies just to have them. The movie may suck, but as long as I have a gigantic bucket of cheese popcorn and a drink, I'm happy.

My friend and I were supposed to go see a movie earlier today, but schedules were suddenly changed so it didn't push through.

I was really looking forward to the nice big bucket of cheese popcorn...

So my mom asked me to go to the supermarket and get her some fruits and stuff. I got two boxes of popcorn and a small shaker of cheese powder. It's gonna be on my mom's tab so...that's great. :)

I'm eating some now. Oh my gosh... It's lovely.

I just have to find something good to watch...

Alone Tonight

I spent today sleeping. Literally.

Okay, I was awake for a few hours watching the first season of Lost. Of course, I had to eat and go pee (and do number 2) so...there's that, too. When I got to the second season of Lost, I fell asleep during the episode labelled Lost s02e00 - Destination Lost. It's a summary of the whole first season so I just shut my eye...

And woke up at 5:30pm.

I thought it was only around 3pm or something. Then, I fell asleep again. Just checked the time and dozed off again. Woke up for dinner just now.

It's 8pm.

What a bum, right?

I guess I'm making up for all my lost sleep hours this past month. I don't think I've slept enough yet.

It's sembreak! I'm supposed to bum around and watch all the DVDs available here!!!

Although I've got somethings planned. There's NaNoWriMo 2006 too.

Anyway, I'm halfway in this post, and if you don't wanna read another bumch of nonsensical blabber, you better leave now. Thank you.

For those whith nothing to do like me, yeah, you're probably reading this.

My parents and my brother are all out tonight, hence the title. Although I'll never be completely alone, unless all the people downstairs and my pets leave.

So anyway, I'm listening to the Beatles now. I've downloaded the whole collection and it's been just there for weeks. I'm giving it a try. They're pretty okay for a really old and dead band.

Oh right, one of them is still alive, right? Or are there two?

I changed my Firefox theme. It's now all Halloween. Soo cool! I just wish my whole desktop can be Halloween. Anybody know how to do that? i'd appreciate some tips. Thanks!

Tomorrow night's the big day. WWE Smackdown show. I've been wanting to hang out at the hotel they're staying in, maybe get a couple of autographs or something. Thank goodness there's not another insurgency or coup d' etat this time. I wanna be able to watch without fearing of blowing up anytime. I'm raelly excited. We've been holding on to the tickets for a couple months now. They're not particularly great seats, but they'll do. At least I won't be standing for the whole show. I'm sure it's gonna be great.

So, I'm going back to my Lost marathon. So sorry for not being able to post something...worth reading. Haha! My head's full of Macapuno ice cream (it's actually not as bad as I initially thought, though I still prefer pistaccio!)

At Last!

The hell week is over! Okay, so the official torture starts on Monday (no, still not exempted. DARN IT.) But tonight, I've got nothing to worry about. No hasty cramming or whatever. Ah, the feeling of having nothing to do. I missed it. Of course, there are two more big projects to be done, but we're gonna brainstorm for them tomorrow. So tonight, yes, nothing's weighing my head down.

Ah, bumness.

So anyway, I would like to share a certain video (I've found the joy of posting videos!) we discussed in class for a communication theory (was it Technical Determinism or Uses and Gratifications? I can't remember.)

Hmm.

I think this is McLuhan's Technical Determinism. The guy's identity was amplified (even multiplied) in the sense that he could lie about it to make his chatmate like him, but his ability to say, keep a relationship was amputated because he can just be cut off easily, like being blocked.

Ok, if I didn't make sense, I'm sorry. Haha! Just watch the video, it's freaking hilarious!

Three Day Break---> SALAMAT!!!

It's the start of my three-day break that I've been waiting for for two weeks...

Thank Goodness!!!

But no, it's not gonna be all fun fun fun this weekend, though. I've already got a list of things to do. Notes to make, articles to read, research to...search for? Wha? Okay, my brain isn't working that weel...It's almost 2 am and I'm really tired. I've been staying in school until 6 pm this whole week (except Tuesday). Orgs, group consultations, more org stuff...

Stress is killing me.

Right now, we've got an abundant supply of green tea because my dad was given a ton of them as presents. My brother and I have been chugging gallons of tea like it's water. I'm expecting to have a better complexion and an improved digestive system in a month. Green tea has antioxidants, right? Yeah.

A prof of mine asked the class the other day, if this was a perfect world, what would you be doing right now?

Well, my answer would be... If this was a perfect world, I would've been the one who wrote Harry Potter! Haha! I'd be J.K. Rowling, except that I'd be me, and look like Angelina Jolie with a Brad of mine. I'd also be helping out in Africa or here, in the Philippines ('coz I'd be based in London, haha!). I'd also be a top advertising person or magazine editor like Jennifer Garner in 13 going on 30. With that fantastic fashion sense, too, and money to buy clothes. And then I'd be secretly a superhero with magical powers (I really want a wand)... Or maybe that's too cheesy. Basta, I'd have the power to alleviate poverty, maybe even completely eliminate it.

Okay, I'm not making sense anymore. My brother is watching On the Line again.

I promise to write a more intellegible post next time when I get my brain back.

August Na

Wala lang, sinasabi ko lang na August na.

Haha! Nagbababoy kami ng kuya ko ngayon. Extended birthday celebration kung baga. Kasi 5 days lang ang agwat ng birthdays namin, kaya parang Pasko at New Year, nag-uumpisa sa birthday ko ang celebration at natatapos sa kanya (minsan naeextend pa...). Kaya ayan, I feel like I gained 10 lbs. over the past week. Ang sakit nga ng tiyan ko ngayon eh, di yata ako natunawan...

Good news. Sa wakas, natapos ko na isulat ang chapter 17 ko. Hay salamat! Isang linggo ko na 'yon pinagpupuyatan. Ngayon nakatunganga naman ako sa blank page ng chapter 18. Hay naku. Sana lumabas na ang lahat para matapos na. Sa tingin ko 2 o 3 chapters nalang ok na yan eh... Nabigay ko na kay Kutitay ang chapters 1-15, di pa daw niya inuumpisahan. Sana matino, hindi boring. Haha!

Hay, nararamdaman ko pa yung cake na kinain ko, lumulutang lutang pa sa tiyan ko...

Hala sige, kelangan ko na mag-aral para sa long test sa Fil bukas! Kakatapos ko lang magawa yung AD&PR requirements, print ad and storyboard... Well, di ko pa nadrawing, rough sketches lang and storyline... Naku sa Thurs na yan nakakatamad! Inaantok na ako!

Here come the BUM days!!!!

Hello everyone!!!

Gosh, I see that it's been almost 2 months that I haven't updated this thing... I'm terribly terribly sorry you guys...

I can't say that I've been busy the whole time. Half of the time, yeah, I'm up to my neck with papers and projects and stuff, the other half... technical problems. This old computer of mine is exhibiting signs of computer old age. I don't know what the matter is. First, my drive C's available memory gets used up super fast but I'm not saving anything in it. Then my browser got screwed up. I switched browsers, but the old one keeps on having pop-ups so I wanna uninstall it but I don't know how... Then everything just kept mulfunctioning. Programs won't work, there's this warning window that keeps popping up saying that Drive C:/.... blah.... this program has requested an immediate shut down... blah... I don't even know what that is.

And yeah, the people downstairs keep on knicking my keyboard so today being Sunday, they're not here, so I get to keep my keyboard and type for a whole day. :)

Anyway, how's everybody been? You know, even though I'm not around, you can just post on the shoutbox over there ---> I check it regularly...

Sometimes, one good post over there can get me updating like mad. Haha!

So now, I've got two and a half months of total BUM-NESS!!! Well, actually, I want to do lots of stuff this summer break like continue my guitar lessons from two years ago (I've forgotten everything already!), maybe take up photography... anything. And definitely earn some money. Smackdown is coming this October and I definitely want to be at the ringside this time! I wanna see BATISTA!!!!!!

The next good thing is that I have all the time I want to finish reading my whole UNREAD BOOKS CLOSET. Right now I'm still reading The Alchemist. I think I've been reading that for a month now... because of all the other reading assignments, didn't have time to really concentrate...

I wanna go to a nice beach somewhere, but I don't want my skin to get dark so...

Anyway, it's 5pm, WWE is on so I'll get back on blabbering later!

Flab

Yep, I’ve got lots of flab. Haha!

Why talk about this? Well, I’m kinda bored and I just ate 3 pieces Chicken Joy with my brother (he ate three too, there were 6 in all). For three days straight, we’ve been patronizing 24-hour delivery service. Monday and Tuesday we had McDonald’s. I sort of got addicted to fries for 2 days. ( Last Monday, the delivery arrived really really late, like, 2 hours after we called because they only had one rider available. Poor rider. He must be sooo tired.

My bro and I were planning on having this 3-day diet thing where you lose 10 lbs instantly. We wanted to do it because we ate about 20 pounds of food in the last 5 days. And we’re about to consume another 20 in 2 days. New Year’s Eve!

So anyway, I cleaned out my babies’ box. They drink a LOT. I just changed their bottle a few hours ago and now it’s empty again. I think they’re gonna grow like Rabbit. She was over a foot long when she lies down and she had a double chin! My baby bunnies are just so adorable. Sometimes they scratch and jump around the box. They make me jump in the middle of the night. Cute little things.

Now, I’m going to go and make myself a cup pf instant hot choco with marshmallows! (

Just a Night

Tonight is just...tonight.

This afternoon, my brother and I went to 168 Mall. I was supposed to do my Christmas shopping (early, huh?) but ended up buying a ton of DVDs. Well, I had the money... and I didn't know what to get my friends...

What do you give someone who has everything?

But I had my eye on some cute bags there. Maybe they'll like those... And Spongebob stuff so... I'll go back there. Yeah, and I have to earn back what I wasted on DVDs. Hehehe. Bought 3 Linkin Park DVDs, so yeah, I don't know. I'll watch them some time this month.

My Internet Explorer is acting weird. The fonts are humongous.

So after we went home, we went to the hospital to see my grandmother. She looked peaceful, but not better. Please, pray for her with me.

I just fell asleep in the waiting area. I was so sleepy.

Then we went home, and my brother and I watched House of Wax (one of the DVDs we bought). It was.........okay. The only scary thing there was one part when Paris Hilton opened up the lamp and this freak guy who looked like Snape got a sudden close up. That was it. The other scenes were...ho-hum okay. The peeling skin exposing raw flesh was disgusting, though. There were lots of disgusting scenes.

We watched it while eating Jollibee. Kudos to 24-hour delivery!

So now, my brother had to go study. He has midterms tomorrow. I'm left with no one to talk worthless stuff about.

Would you believe, a couple of nights ago, we stayed up until 4 am categorizing people using the teams in the movie The Longest Yard? Boy, if you haven't seen that, you've missed 3/4 of your life! Go see it, or buy a DVD, to get what I'm talking about.

Still, it was a worthless but FUN conversation.

I love my brother for always decreasing my IQ when I talk to him.

So now, I'm bored. And sleepy. But more of bored. I opened up Princess Diaries Volume VI last night, and I got bored after a few pages. I guess I'm not in a royal mood right now. Heehee. That was lame. So I extracted my copy of HP and the HBP from my bedside cabinet. I've planned on rereading it when sembreak comes, and here sembreak is at last.

You always notice something new when rereading books, especially HP books. Now I noticed on page 2, the story was going on about the Muggle Prime Minister getting blamed for all the disasters happening around, which was obviously out of their control. There's this passage that caught my attention:

"Or that the government should have somehow foreseen the freak hurricane in the West Country that had caused so much damage to both people and property?"

Doesn't it sound like Hurricane Katrina? I mean, okay, I'm not implying or saying anything about JKR being psychic or whatever, that's just ridiculous. It's just a coincidence. But it's a really, well, freaky coincidence... Hurricane Katrina is a freak hurricane and destroyed people and property, right? And USA is a western country... And I also heard in the news that Bush got blamed for what happened, that he didn't do enough whatever to help or something...

Isn't it weird?

So now, I'm going back to rereading this. I'm gonna extract all the clues to Book 7 that I can.

Next, I'll be discussing about DREAMS...

P.S. I feel like I'm some sort of daily dose of reading for you guys... Haha!

Sleep All Day

I slept all day today. Well, not really all day, but most of it.

I slept around 2 am, and woke up around 9 am 'coz I had to go... nature calls. :) And then I got to my computer for a few minutes, and went back to sleep again.

At 2pm, someone woke me up and told me to go have lunch. I ate a hotdog, then went back to sleep again. As of an hour ago, 5pm, I'm "officialy" awake. I wouldn't have, but my mom barged in my room and decided to sleep beside me. I can't sleep when there's some other person on my bed. And she started chattering about whatever. Chatter chatter chatter.

So I decided to wake up.

And then my dad came in and started talking with my mom. Fact: My mom talks REALLY LOUD. As in when she calls me up in the intercom from downstairs, I just have to open my door and I'd hear her loud and clear. No intercom needed.

So there. I decided to wake up. And then mom and dad went on talking, complaining about my room, that it's so dirty, etc. He even wanted my bean bag out of my room! ARGH! I mean, dude, this is my room not yours! I spend all of my time here and I'm fine with it, so why do you have to have the say which goes in and out of it?!

This is so annoying. I am so annoyed and irritated right now.

Maybe because i have to go back to that sh*thole of a hospital later. I mean, don't get me wrong. I really want my grandma to get well you know. I always pray for her. I want her to go home already because it's really boring in the hospital and there's NO TV!

But there's just something wrong with that place. I don't know what, but there's just something.

I can feel it.

And right now, my mom, still hogging the left half of my bed, is talking with someone on the phone. Really loud. As if the person she's talking to is in another continent.

And my dad is in front of my mirror/vanity closet. Whatever it's called. And he's waiting...waiting...waiting like a ghost in Halloween. Ok, that's lame, but whatever. He's waiting for me to get ready. To go to the hospital.

Please, save me from this life!

Freaky Li'l Creepy Crawlies

I was sitting here, staring into space, when something rushed by. I jerked my head to the direction it went. I didn't see anything. So I went back to staring into space.

Again.

Something whooshed pass.

A lizard.

On my bed!

I hate crawling things. Ok, I like babies. They're cute when they crawl. But insects and reptiles and amphibians...EUGH!

I hate cockroaches!

So anyway, I'm just procrastinating again. It's 10 in the evening, and I've got a 9-page Math reviewer to answer. Hell, I'm gonna flunk.

Well, hopefully not.

I need 183 points tomorrow. I need it!

But it's just that, with the break looming just out of my reach, I just can't concentrate on anything! When I try to, my mind just keeps drifting off to things I wanna do during the break.

SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!!

Oktober Fest ---> Where Where We Should Be

It's finally OCTOBER!!! The sound of Halloween cheers that I've been faintly hearing for some time now is getting louder by the minute.

But it's not only that.

OKTOBER FEST is here!!!

"San Miguel Oktober Fest..

Raise your mugs this is the best!

Tayo na't magparty na

Oktober Fest na!"

That song keeps on running through my brain very often these days.

For those who don't know, San Miguel is a brand of beer, well, alcoholic drinks. And since high school, I've been wondering what goes on in this "Oktober Fest" they kept on singing about in the radio (I mean the jingle).

My idea of it is that in Boracay, where all the "cool" and "wild" and "sexy" beach bums hang out during breaks, they have these all-night parties by the sea and they give out FREE BEER! How great would that feel, partying in you bikinis/trunks/whatever drinking bottomless beer? You can do whatever you want. puke wherever you want and evevryone'll just laugh off all your mishaps because all of you are pissed as hell.

One time, our teacher asked us what we think freedom is. A lot of people said, "Boracay". Yeah, it's the place to be, tehy say. You can walk naked and no one will care because tehre prolly is someone at the other end of the shore walking naked too.

Why is this so special? Well, because here in the Philippines, people are still actually conservative. I admit that I'm one of those, but not that much. I'm trying to keep an open mind. If you go wild like that somewhere else, you'd be dubbed as sluty. Minis too short? Everything's too short.

Boracay=Freedom --> this is because Bora, as we call it, is a tourist spot so the people there are liberated aand of course, young people are abundant. No old people, more fun!

I've never been there, but I want to some time, with my friends and we'd go CRAZY!!!

BORA

Saturday Morning Cartons...

Hello! Wow, it's been over a week since I've last posted... busy? More like, lazy... hehehe! Anyway, there's nothing new to tell. Ok, so now I'm officially 18. If my dad can see me right now watching cartoons, he'll say, "Ang tanda mo na cartoons ka pa rin!" as he always does. I like cartoons. They're... relaxing. After a long week's tiring mind exercises specially MATH, I just want to sit back and watch Bugs and Daffy whack each other. Know what I mean? I don't have to think when I'm watching cartoons... hahaha see how lazy I am? Well, yeah... My mind is blank right now.

Anyway. Tapos niyo na ba basahin HP6? Hahaha! It just came back to me, the book. Hiniram kasi. I love it sooo much! Hahaha I wanna read it again! Kaso I have other stuff to do pa... =( Last Monday, I went to Powerplant to see a movie. When I got to the cinema, the place where Dish used to be became..... FULLY BOOKED! I was... mesmerized. Lots of books, just beyond my reach... It's like, heaven! Hahaha! So I went in, and saw this humongous shelf filled with Half-Blood Prince! Wow... If only I had a camera with me, I would've taken some pics of that shelf. Then I went to the uh... kiddie section, I think. There were the other Potter books, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book! It was so cute! And all the other books that I wanna buy. But the books, just beyond my reach, are also beyond my wallet's reach... hehehe. So I just looked around. And when I finally got back to the cinema, I had 10 missed calls from Sarah and Melanie! The movie was staring in 5 minutes. But luckily, we got in just as the last trailer was playing. Shux. I missed the HP4 trailer...

Well, I guess that's all for now. I have to go to the mall and buy a gift for my friend and some baking stuff. Grace gave me this book entitled 1001 Cookies! It's sooo amazing! I wanna try out some of those recipes so... I have to go now.

Mamaya nalang ulit!

It's good to be HOME!!!

At last! I'm here, in my home land again... I feel like singing Noypi, hahaha! Well, I got in last night at around 8pm, we had some dinner. It was my mum's birthday but we didn't celebrate because all of us were tired as hell. My dad unpacked, and I looked for his phone inside my bag, and it was gone! I was on the brink of having a heart attack when I asked him if he'd seen in and he said it was inside his pocket. Argh! I thought I'd have to go back to Hong Kong to look for his phone in their freakishly large airport. I could die there, but they've got showers. Cool. Now I'm here, ordering KFC because KFC in HK SUCKS. I mean, they've got no gravy and their chicken taste like lard. I swear. They gave us ketchup packets! Can you believe that?! Who the hell eats KFC with ketchup?! That just totally sucks. And their mashed potato had gravy in it, about 1 tablespoon of it, and their gravy sucks. I swear, if you try it, you'll just feel like you've eaten lard with potatoes. The only good thing there is they've got criss-crossed fries, and they taste wonderful! Hehehe! Anyway, that's all for now! A couple of pics coming up later!

Habemus Papam!!!

As of 2 am this morning, about 8 pm Rome time, a new pope was elected. The 265th pope, the successor of the beloved, late Pope John Paul II, hails from Germany. He served as his advisor, and the Dean of the College of Cardinals. It's the first time that the cardinal reckoned by the media to be the next pope actually got elected. He is no other than the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now known as his chosen name, Pope Benedict XVI.

Ok, I can't give any more background of the new leader of all Catholics all over the world. I first saw him during the late Pope's funeral, as shown on TV, he looked quite scary. And I heard someone comment on TV that she thinks that Pope Benedict XVI will rule "with iron arms". Now, tell me that doesn't scare you. He looks strict, some says he actually is. Will he be as charismatic as his predecessor? I sure hope so. My brother and I even had a bet. He says that Pope Benedict XVI will never step foot in the Philippines during his entire reign. (which hopefully will go for over 5 years) I say he will. Whoever wins... Will treat the other one to a big 18" Yellow Cab pizza! Yahoo! Hope I win! ;)

I wasn't really tuned in CNN the whole time. My brother just scurried out of his room and began screaming, "My bagong pope na! My bagong pope na! CNN! CNN!" He told me that earlier, there was a false alarm. The chimney of the Sistine Chapel emitted white smoke and caused everybody to go into a frenzy, but then it turned black. Wow, I wish I were there. That would've been so much fun. The adrenaline rush and all... Standing there for hours even days waiting for the new pope beats out lying in bed for days, weeks even, and doing nothing. The boredom is killing me. I can't wait 'till we go to Chine. And don't worry, I promise to bring back pictures of ground level toilets. Actually, they're just pits dug out so you could answer the call of nature there. Eww.

Don't forget, this Sunday is Pope Benedict XVI's inauguration!

Me. Haha! trying to show off my Seniors-themed NY cap. (seniors-themed because it's yellow!) Failing to do so... Hahaha!

I'm here again
