Bayad na ang Utang ng Pilipinas!

Sorry, pero nasa mood ako magtagalog ngayon. As it is, ang mga nagbabasa lang naman neto eh mga marunong magtagalog, so what's the point ng pagpapakahirap magtranslate ng mga saloobin ko sa Ingles? Hahaha! Papasa na ako ng Fil!

Well, anyway, ang title. Wala lang. Kasi may joke na tinaya raw ni Gloria ang buong budget ng Pinas kay Pacquiao, eh nanalo, kaya meron nang pambayad ng utang ang ating bansa!

Kung hindi nila bulsahin, diba.

Anyway, last week was hell week. But Last Friday was also the best day of my life. Ok, one of the best days. Wag mo nang itanong sa akin. Di ko rin naman sasabihin. Hahaha Eraserheads ba?

May nagbebenta ng aso, half labrador half spitz, babies ng doggy niya. 500 lang each. They're adorable! Bibili kami ng kuya ko, para may kasama si Dinggers The Pig Dog namin. Kaso takot nga kami eh, baka kasi kainin ni Dinggers yun puppies! Naisip nga namin ng kuya ko na ilabas yung rabbits sa cage, tapos testingin kung kakainin ba ni Ding yun rabbits. Wag. Sayang eh mahal yung rabbits! Onga pala, malaki na sila ngayon! They're twice their size na since I last posted about them here!

Onga pala, did I tell you that we now have a pair of parakeets? Ok, mahabang istorya. Kasi pumunta kami ng Megamall ng kuya ko para sa research ko. Eh napadaan kami sa pet shop. Nung tumitingin ako ng mga rabbit at hamster, nakita ko yung isang cage labeled MINI KANGAROO. Eh di super excited ako! 900 a pair, mura for a kangaroo! kaso wala kaming dalang pera nun, kaya babalikan nalang daw namin. Eh ilang bese na bumalik yung kuya ko dun kasi may binibili siyang parts ng computer or something. Tapos lagi raw niya dinadaanan yun mini kangaroo. Excited na siya sobra nung bumalik kaming dalawa. Ayan, kabulagan ba, sa dinami-daming beses niya bumalik at tiningnan yon, di niya napansin yung spelling. Ang nakalagay pala doon ay

MINI KANGGARO

Daga pala yon na mahaba lang yun buntot! Langhiya! Eh sa sobrang depressed niya, gusto nalang niya bumili ng whatever. Yung Husky sana diba, kasi 20,000 yata, kaya wag nalang. Eh turtle o mini lobster sana, kaso no fun, di sila lumalaki eh! Buti kung lumaki yun lobster tapos pwede kainin diba? So ayun. Umakyat nalang kami sa isa pang pet shop at bumili ng ibon. Pampabawas sama ng loob. Cute naman sila eh.

Sige, inaantok na ako.

Gulping Down Books

Wow, it's been weeks since I last posted. I guess I got caught up in... Well, I don't know exactly what I got caught up in.

Actually, since school started again last Jan 4, I've read four books. I just finished the fourth one awhile ago, and am currently started on the fifth one.

Four books in a week and a half? And that's a school week, mind you. I guess college life gives me more freedom to do these things. Back in high school, I get home and slump right into sleep. I only have time to read when I'm sitting on my throne in the bathroom. And it takes me a week or more to finish a single book. I read the Little Prince in more than a week. And it's a very thin book!

This is like, a life achievement for me. Haha! I'm finally going to be able to clear my UNREAD BOOKS CABINET.

Actually, I read three books that I'd just bought, and they prompted me to open the unread books cabinet door and nick one from there.

A friend told me that the Velvet series was Deveraux's best work, but I didn't really like romance novels that time, and I didn't have the money to buy one. So this Christmas, when spare cash unconsciously fell into my hands, I decided to spend them on an investment.

BOOKS!

So I saw this site and someone was selling second hand books. It's not as cheap as in Booksale, but it's in very good condition. So I bought the Velvet Series.Well, I actually bought a part of it. I still have two missing. I have Velvet Promise, Velvet Song and Velvet Angel. I still need Highland Velvet and The Black Lyon. I was skeptical at first, but when I read it, I got hooked, and so spent every waking minute and break time reading the three books.

And now, only after 2 weeks of holiday, I'm yet again low on cash. I wanna check Booksale first if they've got the ones I'm looking for 'cause they'll sell it in relatively lower prices, but if not, I'll buy from that site again. That girl has the complete collection of Jude Deveraux! My friend's ambition before was to have a complete collection of Jude's novels, but when we had a garage sale last summer, she sold some of her Jude books. Now, I think that's becoming my ambition already.

I had a dream that our house was going to be destroyed by a flood, maybe a tsunami or something, it involved high waters. And then we were packing to evacuate, and my dad said to just pack the essentials, so I had to sneak back into my room and pack my books into big duffel bags. I won't just stand there and see them ruined by water!

The fourth book I read was The Nanny by Melissa Nathan. I didn't like it at first, 'cause it was kind of boring and I didn't get it 'cause it's in British English and I'm used to American English. But still I stuck to it, as this was the way I started out with the best books ever, the Harry Potter Series. I remembered that I almost gave up in Chapter One in Book One 'cause I was bored outta my wits, but I've got nothing to do so I read on and...the rest is history.

The Nanny was pretty good, just not that good. But it managed to make me stay up and read it all night, so it's good enough. The "love story" was just blurry, it was there, but it wasn't clear. The nanny and the guy was always fighting, and I never really felt that they were falling for each other already. It kind of just happened. No climactic whatever. I guess there was one, but I didn't really feel it. But it was a nice read.

So now, I'm trying to read A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks. I'm hoping this is as good as A Walk to Remember. I remember that I borrowed The Notebook from a friend and tried to read it and abandoned it after three tries that just got until page 8.

I'm hoping that by summer, half of the books in THE UNREAD BOOKS CABINET will be in the READ BOOKS CABINET already.

Argh!

Hay, it’s Sunday and we were supposed to go eat out today, but I wasn’t feeling up to it. I hate myself. It was so nice to hear the war ceased, and everybody was in high spirits today. I guess except me.

My dad came into my room and he was all smiling and happy and he asked me if I wanted to eat out tonight and what movies are showing because he wanted to watch a movie. I mean, I never heard my dad want to go out at night and watch a movie. The couple times we did, I think it was just because we wanted to and he was driving so he went along.

Why did I have to be so lazy not to go? When I heard that my mom also felt like staying home, I said I would too. My brother was excited of the prospect of going out and having his one meal (he’s fasting). But I didn’t go with them. I was feeling trashed awhile ago. I feel tired still, and my stomach won’t behave. It rumbles every minute. These past few days, my stomach’s not been very good.

I wish I felt well tonight. I wish we were all out tonight and having fun. I wish I’d gone with my dad and saw a movie. His life was hell for two days and it’s wonderful to see him smile and look forward to something and even want to go out, and then this is the time I feel sick. I hate myself!

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! (

Babies!

I have baby rabbits in my room!

They’re oh so adorable! There are two of them, a girl and a boy. One is white, one is gray. I don’t know which one’s a girl and which one’s a boy.

My brother brought them home Christmas Eve. I think they’re a gift from his girlfriend. Last time, we had rabbits too. The first one was also from his gf and was also a Christmas gift. And then the next one… I don’t know, but they’re from the same person. The second rabbit died because of an infection on its nose. I think it was a he. The first one was a she. The first one’s name was Rabbit, the second one’s Bai Tu (that’s white rabbit in Chinese!)! So Bai Tu died months ago, when I was still in 4th year high school because of an infection on his nose. Rabbit died I think 2 months ago. I really don’t know the cause, but she just got really sick but the helpers downstairs didn’t even tell us that she’s ill. My brother was so upset when he learned that the just threw Rabbit’s corpse out. He was planning on burying her properly.

The new rabbits however, are in perfect health! They’re so baby! They’re just 2 months old, and they’re kind of scared of my brother and I, especially the gray one. When we try to hold him/her, s/he jumps away! S/he’s so jumpy! We called the white one White Boy (though we’re not sure if it’s a girl or a boy) and the gray one Black Guy. Whatever their gender is, those are their names. Hahaha!

They eat a lot, and drink even more! Well, we placed a mini doggie dish inside their box (their cage isn’t made yet) but they keep on tipping it over so now rabbit pellets are scattered all over the floor with their poop. Eew. I’ll have to clean that out. I don’t want to think that they’re mistaking their own poop for food.

I'll post their pics when I get my digicam back. :)

Fourth Day of Christmas

I’m too sleepy to do any serious blogging right now…
I know I haven’t updated for almost a week.
I had papers.
I have papers until the end of time.
Just ask Mysh.

So anyway, Christmas is just around the corner and I’m sooo very excited! Truthfully, the excitement I’ve been feeling for the past 2 weeks kinds wore off, I don’t know why, but I’m waiting for it to come back. I just know it will.

I just came back from Greenhills Night Market awhile ago. It was packed! I could barely move. This afternoon when I napped, it was so chilly! I love it! I didn’t have to turn on the aircon. And I was wearing sando and shorts and no blanket. When I woke up, I was frozen.

So as promised, here are the things I’m thankful for today. This is for the 22nd.

Jacket – keeps me warm
Yahoo Messenger – send a message and be connected forever! (ok, cheesy)
McDonald’s Jelly Sundae – it’s delish! I swear! Try it!
Fudgee Bars – choc-choc-chocolate with every bite!
Dinggo the dog – he’s the most adorable dog in the whole wide world!
Softball – this…I wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for this
DVDs – entertainment for just 70 pesos!
Internet – or else how would I be blogging?
Alarm clocks – keeps me from being late…sometimes
Chocolate – good for the heart, good for me!
Cake – I wanna make one
Funny shows – relief in a world of bulls***

But... GOOD NEWS!

and

"Do the Hippogriff" is longlisted for Best Original Song for a Montion Picture.

I'm sooo excited for them! It's time they win an award, they deserve it! They've got tough competition though (King Kong and Narnia) but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

So for today, here's my list:

J.K. Rowling - writer of the best series ever (no matter what anybody says!)
Harry Potter books - my home
Harry Potter movies - they make me have something to look forward to!
The cast and crew of HP movies - great job guys, right from the start!
HP merchandise - they help me show that I'm proud to be a HP fan!
Warner Brothers - for making my world come to life
Pancit Canton - yummy!
Cooking Shows - although they make me constantly hungry, I still love watching them.
Text messaging - a simple way of showing care :)
Snail Mail - for me, this is a more special way of letting someone know that you care. it takes more time, it means more love. :)
Christmas Carols - I just love listening to them... makes me tingle and warm all over!
The Rat Pack - best singers of all time...their Christmas album is wonderful!

Tenth Day of Christmas

Today's a really exceptional day. Well, nothing life changing happened to me, just something that made my heart beat a million beats per second.

No, I didn't meet Prince William.

I had an 8:30 am class, but I couldn't get up. Too sleepy. So I decided to cut that and just go to the 10:30 class because it's the important one anyway for we had a long test. So I got up at 9 and finished preparing at 10 and went to school. I usually get to school in 30 minutes or less. But I don't know what's wrong with this day. The traaffic's sooooo heavy! Every street we slipped into was clogged. ARGH!

I got to school at 11.

Can you believe that?! And the class ends at 11:30, but the bell rings at around 11:25 so I only had a little less than 25 minutes to take the test! It's lucky my prof allowed me to take it. Thank GOD!!! And I usually get home in 45 minutes to 1 hour, but I got home in 1 hour and 30 minutes today!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE TRAFFIC TODAY?!?!?!?!

So today, I have lots of things to be thankful for, but here is the top 12:

My Physics teacher - for being uber understanding!
Fried chicken - the best food ever!!!
Chicken pops - the best food in popcorn form!
Converse - Chuck Taylors are the best!!!
Spongecola - I saw them!!! Up close!!! No, didn't get an autograph.
Eye glasses - wouldn't be at SM and see Spongecola if not for them! (they're my mom's btw)
Friendster - kahit gasgas na, still it keeps me connected to my long lost (ok, that's exag) friends!
Digital cameras - just click and click, no film wasted!
Phones with built-in cams - I miss my 7650...
Email services - but I think owl post is better
24-hour delivery - I'll never get hungry ever again! (except when I don't have money...)
4A - never forgetting the spirit

Twelfth Day of Christmas

It is.

Yes it is!

It's officially CHRISTMAS!!!

It's twelve days before Christmas, and only a week before break! Woohoo! I've just been shopping awhile ago for gifts and such. Hopefully my friendsd aren't expecting anything big this Christmas because I'm totally broke now. I seriously don't know where all my allowance had gone. I bet half of it on food. I've been baking, and potluck and people debut-ing here and there... Yep. No money at all.

So this Christmas, I've decided on something. Instead of waiting for gifts, I think I'd be thankful of twelve things each day. So today, I'm thankful for:

My mom - the giver of allowance
My dad - the earner of my allowance
My brother - one of the reasons all my allowance is gone
The oven - for baking
Nanay - who goes with me wherever I go
Allrecipes.com - where I get delish recipes
Christmas cards - because they're oh so cute!
Christmas tree - I love decorating and looking at it
Wrappers - cheaper than paper bags
Colored pens - colors everywhere!
Cellphone - who can live without it?
Credit card - I never run out of emergency cases!
