Eat my Words

I bought the album of Sandwich.

It was good. It turns out I like their music after all. I was half-expecting it to be this super-grunge, semi-metal rock album.

To tell you the truth, it (the Album) actually sounded more on the "Incubus" rock genre. There was something, erm, enchanting or mystical about it.

I take back what I said about "Nahuhulog" in my earlier post.
It wasn't a piece of melodic crap after all. It was actually a piece of melodic...well, something.

I suggest you buy the album and decide for yourself.

Raimund!!!!

He Is Cool.......

And Cute!

Hot...

Mi Amor!!!

i didn't make it to the International High IQ society.

i honestly answered all the questions, all thirty-seven of them. (but then again by #32 i started to get bored...).

I got an okay score of not more than 130 but not less than 120. that means i have Above average intelligence.

but that also means that i do not have Superior Intelligence, which leads to not qualifying to be a member of the International high IQ society.

That's not even fair!

i took the same test that 30-year-olds take. shouldn't i take one that's for 18-year-olds?

the mental age and age in years matter when computing for one's IQ.

oh well, what the hell.

Scary ass cockroach

but definitely a brave one at that!

I have this fear of crawlies and sure enough i encountered one in the CR of a certain mcdonald's branch. i yelped and skimped away, and guess what? the roach must've had a crush on me coz it kept on following me around!!! wherever the hell i went!!! i could've gone to bagiuo and it might've followed there, i swear.

WTF?

everyone started snickering, my friends were laughing like utter madmen and i was shrieking for someone to squash the damn thing. the guard went to the rescue and stepped on it.

Oh, Manong Guard... my hero!!!

History shapes the present.

But the present rarely credits it.

What an ingrate Present must be...

My History professor is eccentric in his own little way.

he has a lot to say, and he irritatingly, infuriatingly makes sense.

This morning he said something like:

"They say that to remain ignorant is to remain poor. that's why we study as f*cking hard as we do. but the christian faith tells us, 'Blessed are the poor for they shall be with God in heaven.'. if this is the case, then christians are a bunch of hypocrites!"

NOOOOO!!!!!!

um, wait a minute... the bible did say that... so we shouldn't be learning things, right? We should remain dumb like Adam and Eve, which is really how God wanted us to be in the first place.
Why then, dear sir, was God's only Son sent here to Earth to be a teacher??? To teach us, so we could LEARN? So we'd be smarter???

Oh well, what the hell.

sheanne

okay, so i logged in to my account and read your comment.

yes, my dear, for a few minutes i thought we looked very similar...

Seriously.

But then again, would you take my word seriously when i'm the same person who thinks she sounds like Rupert Grint, That Champ looks like Josh Hartnett, and that Julius Babao looks like Colin Firth?

It really is up to you. ;P

Hey, i linked you up.

see ya when i see ya.

Reunited!!!!

Waaahhh!!!!! I saw Monica today!!!!
Yeeepeee!!!!

This is so cool. i thought that this was gonna be just another boring day and the only exciting part about it is that it is a friday which means no school tomorrow.

boy, was i wrong. i saw my best friend!!!!

Mon, congratulations for making to THE exclusive UE Chorale!!!!

i always knew you could do it. see, Monica has a really "airy" voice. she was made to be a singer.

Anyway, i was so happy to see her again. she transferred/Shifted from Accounting to IT, which isn't that bad because UE is one to boast a good Technology System. i hope she doesn't neglect her studies, though.

Before long i'm sure she'll be touring across the globe.

Whew, i thought early this week that she's not gonna enroll. but she will!!!

and she's even buddies with my former crush Paris, too.

PARIS:
a guy i saw at the Awarding ceremony (for scholars) some time last year. i only saw him once. A mutual friend, Ate Jing, introduced us and we shook hands... hehehe i'm a ho.
i thought he was smart-looking, too. i developed a crush because i'm into smart guys. guys who are good in math, and fluent in English, too. I don't only mean that he has grammar like mr. webster, but one who speaks with impeccable diction. This is due to my being very picky with guys. if i notice something i despise or i get peeved by something he does, it's adios for us. Physical qualities come second, but right there at the top, too. it also matters contrary to the saying about looks don't matter. IT MATTERS.

so Paris "passed" the intelligence part. but he got a C- in the second category.

Get this--

i am by far 2 inches taller than the guy.

oh well, what the hell.

the skateboard stealer

okay, so i shredded to the store in our subdivision, right? but i was only a few meters away so i just skated a straight path and left the board in front of the store, where i could see it. then as i was about to pay for my kiamoy, i turned and saw this doofus douche bag riding my board and trying to do a baby trick that even a lame skater like me could do. the thing is the poser can't even pull a simple flip... even i could do it. and i haven't even mastered my olley yet.

i wanted so bad to tell him, "GET LOST, YOU POSER!"

but i didn't want to come out like a little brat hogging the skateboard all to myself.

i'm too nice sometimes.

anyway, i told him, "step away from the board. if you break it, you pay it double."

the guy giggled like a moron and ran to his friends.

oh well, what the hell.

a most unexpected thing.

it's weird how the people you don't take seriously suddenly say something that will make you give them a second judgement.

the other day i saw on tv an interview with Lindsay Lohan. she said something like:

"You just try out new things, you know. then if it doesn't work, you find out it doesn't work."

Brilliance.

i saw KC Concepcion on the cover of how many magazines. i think she's really hot, beautiful and intelligent. i sure hope she's not a bitch, though. that would suck.

i don't like vegetables. the only ones i could tolerate are those you put on top of pizzas and broccoli.

oh well, what the hell...

current crush: Rai/ rei of sandwhich.

Harry Pottah!!!!

why do people just nod at you when they don't want to tell you the truth???

for almost a year, i went on BELIEVING that i could mimic Rupert Grint's voice.

(when he said: "But Harry!")

I was so proud of this remarkable talent i believed i had that i went around telling my friends. they just laughed their asses off. i thought they were jealous.

I can do a believable british accent and a straight american one.

apparently, i can't do a good or even a remotely similar "Ron Weasley" voice.

Oh well, what the hell...

the Harry Potter flick about to be shown is really starting to get under my skin.
i can't wait to see it with my sister. i hope no kid comes in the theater all noisy and whiny coz' i'll definitely be acting more like a brat than the little asungots if they start to whimper.

Ooohh, Harry Potter....

Recitation Redemption

i seriously thought my nose was going to bleed...

my accounting professor started calling names in random... then suddenly all of the things i read the night before started to drain out of my brain out to my left eargood thing i wasn't called. i wasn't ready to recite.

man, i sure hope i do good this semester.

anyway, my first class in accounting wasn't that bad.

Thank you, oh Lord.

A very sad situation.

First it was Monica.
Then it was Rachel and Paul.

My close friends leaving so quickly.
hmm... now i feel very independent (compared to the person i was before, that is). i can walk the corridors alone without feeling sorry for myself. because deep down i know that i have true friends, and if you really think about it, that's much better that having two-faced social-climbing loser bitches as your little circle. now i'm not bitter... i've matured, as the old timers call it, hehe

Hmmm, at least there's my very weird but very fun group of friends in school. And there's Wil, who texts me in english. Van, who is still the same mataray biach, peace. my few good friends left...

Maybe i'll try enrolling myself in a semi-block section next sem so i'll meet more friends.


Brunoeh, where are you?

current crush: Rei, Rei, rei...

Second-hand books... very practical and equally gross

me (to the vendor in Recto): Kuya meron ba kayong Mathematics of
Investments?
Vendor: Meron. Eto, o. P120 nalang yan, second-hand kasi.
me: bakit naman second hand ang binibigay nyo?
Vendor: Ay, gusto mo ba brand new?
Me: Hindi po, gusto ko second hand.
Vendor: Ganun naman pala eh! o eto second hand to.
Me: Hindi oh! kulay brown na yung papel! Baka fifth-hand na yan!
Vendor: Second hand yan.
ME: ok, babaan nyo naman yung price.
Vendor: sige P130 nalang.
me: Akala ko ba P120 kanina? tumaas pa!
Vendor: o sige P120 na.
me: yun nga, babaan nyo pa, sa kabila P110 yan eh..
Vendor: P115.
me: Ngeh! P5 lang? kuya, tignan nyo oh! may amag na yata yung
spine ng book! less than P100 yan!
Vendor: Hindi amag yan. kulay green lang talaga ang cover.
me: Kuya ako nalang yata ang matinong bibili nyan! 80 pesos
nalang!
Vendor: P95, last price na yun.
Me: P90!
The girl standing beside me: Kuya may mathematics of... kuya magkano
yan? second hand? kunin ko na!
Vendor: ok. P120 lang.
Girl: Uy, ayos yan, sa kabila kasi P140, P130 last price.
Vendor: Ok. ilalagay ko sa supot?
Me: Kuya, akin yan!!! di ba ako yung bumibili kanina?
Vendor: ayaw mo may amag kasi, di ba?
Me: Kuya naman oh!!! nauna ako! unfair!
Vendor: O sige na.
Vendor to the girl: Nauna kasi to eh. sa kanya nalang. sa kabila
miss meron pa ata.

Yes!!!! victory!!!

next day in the classroom:

me: Bryan oh, nakabili ako math book P95 pesos lang! di ba P175
to sa Cunanan?
Bryan: Ako nakabili P75 lang. second hand din.
ME: Ang daya!!! patingin?

Bryan shows me a book that's even more wrecked than mine.

Me: Kaya pala, mas luma kasi yan!!!!

huh-hum... second-hand book-hunting is definitely an experience i'll go through every sem.

Accounting gives me the chills

Hhhmmmm....

Tomorrow is my first official "regular" day in my accounting class. the professor already handed out homeworks for us to do, assignments for us to read; pretty much the first half of our 600-page book.

BOOM CHAKALAKA!!!!!

I am going loca!!!!

i got non-impressive grades in my first two accounting classes, and the apparent arbiter of my compatibility with this course is what i'm currently enrolled to-- FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING.

i sure hope i do much better this semester... i want to make it as a college scholar.

SO far everything's been cool. my new block is fun. they're very friendly and funny, not to mention smart. Very smart, indeed. Just think about it- a number of them went to Philippine Science High Schools... unlike me who went to a "pa-bunjing-bunjing" HS. (is my spelling correct?)

What really makes me sad though is the absence of by best friend who i'll call Brunoeh for privacy reasons.

Brunoeh, where are you????? i miss you na!! are you possessing Karen? she's starting to get a little insane like you... or maybe she's always been a little nuts; you just eclipsed this little attribute of hers, hehe.

ooh... i hope this semester does go along theway i want it to.

oh well, we'll see.

current crush: Rei Marasigan of Sandwich.

Champ lui-pio

i saw him on tv in his band's vid "the day you said goodnight".

i thought, "This guy looks damningly familiar..."

then i realized it. he looks like (at some angles) THE Josh Hartnett.
hmmm, maybe i was being a little cross-eyed again? my sister just laughed and said, "maybe... if you squint, i guess."

she said he looks like atom from 5 and up. no way does he looks like atom... i mean yeah, they're both dork-skinny, but as far as similarity goes, that's pretty much it.

i do think he looks like josh, or at least he reminds me of him.i stand by this, like i do when i say Julius Babao reminds me of Colin firth.

anyway, i searched champ on the net to get the skinny (no pun intended) on him, but very few came up and most of the results had identical infos, so i dropped my obsession. i finally saw him in person and... well...

let's just say he didn't live up to the josh hartnett part. he didn't remind me of josh at all. he actually reminded me of someone i've long forgotten. are you ready for this?

Champ Lui-pio reminded me of...

PIDO DIDO!

from the 7 up fame! it's crazy but he really did.

Anyway, so Champ is photogenic. i'll settle on watching him on tv.
But what struck me really was the rhythm-- Roll martinez is the man's name. he sounds like the coolest brit rockstar Noel Gallagher.
he really does. you need an expert ear of an oasis fan (like myself) to tell between the two. it took me about twelve seconds to tell that it wasn't noel when i first heard Hale's song "Here Tonight".

let me share you an anecdote that i personally find insulting. i found out a few months ago that my sister thinks Edward Scissorhands is less of a klutz than i am. apparently, she thinks everything i touch will immediately be placed with a curse that will destroy it soon after. ostensibly so, she buys two cds-- an original copy (which i am not allowed to touch) and a pirated or burned copy (which i can scratch and break anytime i want).

WTF?

hey, at least i get my own copy, right? and we're still feeding the money-machine record companies their rightful cash.

Moving on, everyone, the Champ crush has now disappeared. i now find myself drooling over the uber-hot Rei Marasigan of sandwich. he reminds me of the frontman of Jane's Addiction, or as i call it, "Dave Navarro's Band".

Rei has a daughter, if i'm correct. i watched him on myx live and he said something about a song that he wrote for his daughter. i thought, "Oh how sweet" then they played the song and i thought "oh what a piece of melodic crap". i'm not going to be the plastic chick and say, "i like sandwhich because of the music and i think rei is cute."
i'm going all out, "I'm not into Sandwich, but i think Rei is hot, and i'm willing to propragate the band so they'll earn more money and plaques which means they'll be more popular, leading them to more gigs and shows, which means i'll see more of rei."

there. so i get my healthy dose of marasigan, marasigan gets a healthy overdose of money and fame. everbody's happy.

that's all i want, you know. i want everybody happy.

toodles!
