Big BUM
I really REALLY REALLY need someone to wake me up at precisely 6am every morning, precisely because I just can't wake up early anymore. *Blame it on the "5 minutes more" routine.* Having roomies who have the same slacker habit doesn't help my situation. These days I have been going to school with the help of a cab, which is bad bad bad! I'm trying to save money, and getting to school with the help of Manong cab driver is no way to save! I bloody need motivation! And I need it NOW!
After school, me and my roomies headed off to Starbz for a study session. (Wait lang! Am I REALLY trying to save?) While we were there we discussed our sleeping habits and came to the conclusion, (yes--- conclusion, not solution) that we should start sleeping earlier so we can get up early. So once I'm done with this, I'm heading off to bed!
Oh, by the way, I just purchased my FIRST Starbucks tumbler. FINALLY!
Ruby made kwento kanina about how growing up in another country, and moving to the P.I totally mixes up your flair for words. Apparently, her friends noticed that she talks so conyo! Example--- "Make sama naman with me sa caf." We now all have this "habit" of speaking Taglish in the maarte-est way possible, unconciously. We're so used to it, we don't actually realize or even notice the stares, the eye-rolling, the annoyed glances and the first impressions we actually invoke from strangers, and friends. As bad as it sounds, Honestly, there's really nothing we can do. We're like that. And it's sooo darn hard to kick off a habit you're used to. Kinda like smoking. Paano yun? *hay*
 Ok, I'm so tamad na to post more. And besides, there's nothing to post naman eh. I gotta get my new sleep routine rolling. Nyt nyt.

Stupid Discriminating Commercials
Okay, WHO saw that Pond's whitening cream commercial with Kelly Misa in it? You know, the one where this Filipina girl gets introduced to her mestizo boyfriend's mother?
Honestly, THAT commercial sucked! As in BIG TIME!
First of all, since when did skin color become the basis for beauty? That commercial was just so full of blah about how wonderful it is to be white. It just brainwashes its viewers into thinking that people will like them even more if they posess a flawless cream complexion.
That commercial just made me sooooo MAD!
It indirectly tries to persuade people that being "brown and Asian" is ugly. It's telling people that no matter what, the mestizo race is ALWAYS better... and more accepted by society. Shame on whoever thought up that commercial's concept. Shame shame shame! It's purely racist!!! An insult to the Filipino culture. And the fact that it's shown in a country dominated by brown skinned people? Sad. Sad. Sad.
Now, I don't have anything against Pond's. I use their product myself to get rid of skin discolorations and blemishes. But come on! That commercial was just soooo bad! Kulang na lang na they say, "Look like a mestiza and win the heart of your mother-in-law." There is nothing wrong with being tanned. If Filipinos always look up to the Western countries for everything, and copy them in every possible way, no bloody wonder we still haven't attained our own sense of identity and reached the development stage! Whatever happened to Pinoy pride?
*haaaaaay*

Crazy ...
Quick!!! What soft drink has the MINIMUM amount of CAFFEINE???
-Sprite-
But I bet YOU probably knew THAT already!
Now, What soft drink has the MAXIMUM amount of CAFFEINE???
What What What???
Cmon... give a WILD GUESS!!!!
No... silly.... NOT Coca Cola.
No... NOT Pepsi... (I guessed this one too)....
It's nothing but.....
M o u n t a i n D e w!!!!
Haha.... Can you believe that MD contains soooo much caffeine? NOW you know why you can't fall asleep if you drink that! Haha! I just learned this from Psychology class yesterday while we were on the subject of Psychoactive Drugs. Pretty interesting I say! =)
While we're on the subject of drinks, I just had Emperador Brandy on Friday (making it my first time to drink that stuff), and by golly! It had the weirdest effect on me! I did the craziest stuff... *details not to be revealed*... even if I drank Empee with Coke as my chaser.... which, I learned the morning after, was just to lessen the effect of a hangover. Still, that night was hella fun! Till now, I'm thinking, "My God! I can't believe I said and DID that!" I woke up the following morning with my body almost totally numb... and when I got up to go to the bathroom, I knocked down a bunch of stuff off the table. Hehe.... *hay* alcohol.... =p
Moving on.... I'm sooo pissed because my Samsung E700 is screwed up! It's overheating and the LCD is totally busted! I can't receive any messages, and no one can reach me. I'm trying to get it fixed for a lower price if not for free, so I hope that by the end of this week, I get that problem solved. I don't want to get a new phone either. This phone has what you would call, "sentimental value" attached to it, considering that it's my first phone after my Nokia 6600 got stolen. I've been taking care of this new phone ever since I got it---- checking and re-checking my bag a gazillion times... going paranoid.... you get the idea... =p So, I will NOT get a new phone until after a long while anyway. But what pisses me the most is that I had the same problem before during Christmas and I managed to get it fixed for 2000 bucks. A week after, it got screwed up again! Argh! I curse whoever fixed my phone the first time. He obviously DID NOT do a good job! =(

The Reason
I know I keep on rambling about how GREAT my roomies are, and how I just can't find better people to live with, sleep with, eat with.... blahblahblah. But yesterday, I appreciated them all the more! =) *And no, I am NOT making this post just because I know they're gonna read it!* Haha... After yesterday, I've found more reasons to love them even more!
I went out on Saturday, here, there and everywhere, *details not to be revealed*... and I returned home the next evening. According to Ruby, ---two hours more, and I could be reported missing... (meaning I could have been away for 24 hours!) I love them because, throughout my "missing hours," they kept on texting me, asking where I was, what I was doing, lalala. I love them because they couldn't sleep properly that night because they were worried about me. I love Debbie and Ruby for not being able to study properly because they were thinking about me. I love Debbie because she had back cramps the following morning because of me. I love Ruby for texting me in the morning, ...............aaaaaaah.... BASTA! I love them for looking out for me! **They told me all this yesterday, so I'm relying on their word. Sakaling hindi ito totoo, mapapahiya ako!** Haha...
I think that our friendship has just reached another level. I feel that now, we're not just roomies, best of roomies, friends, or best of friends, but now, also sisters! These two are the two "ates" I never had, and I'm just so blessed... =) *hay!* thankyouguys for everything! No amount of chocolate sundaes and yoca can EVER express my gratitude and the fact that I love you people to BITS!!! =) I just realized how great it is to be living with two people you trust with your life... I'm glad na we're close enough to look out for each other and cover up for each other. I hope that NEVER changes! Syempre, I'll do the same for you guys! **mwah,mwah,mwah!* alabshu people!

Greenbelters...
Okay, here's the scenario:
After our Geog 111 exam, me and Debbie were at the AS steps trying to figure out where to go to unwind. It was, after all, a Friday, and after studying our brains out all week long, we didn't want to head on home without rewarding ourselves first! I suggested SM North, but since we just went there two days ago to watch "Meet the Fockers," it was stupid to tambay there again. Galleria was also out of the question because we were trying to save money, and it's actually impossible to do just that in Galleh. All of a sudden, I just blurted out, "Greenbelt," and we both just sat there, dumbfounded, carefully analyzed the suggestion, looked at each other, and in unison, cried out, "WHY THE HELL NOT?" Hehe... I swear!!! It was gonna be one of those spur-of-the-moment thingies. The last time we had a "spur" was when Pa-siyam came out and despite warnings to stay at home because of the Yoyong Bagyo, we still went out! Pa-siyam sucked BIG time by the way.
I don't usually gimik in Makati, because it's actually out of the way (as in super layo)... so my Greenbelt trips can literally be counted by using just one hand. *Go figure*... Anyway, it was fun to roam around the malls, check out all sorts of people, eavesdrop on some conversations, and syempre, the highlight of it all, eat in a poshy high-end place... Italiani's.
We ordered a Salmon pizza, just because we've never tried anything like that before, and it was actually quite nice, although I must say, that the salmon tasted like tuyo! It was so salty, and in my opinion, the pizza was waaay better off without that bit of fish. O well.... it was definitely tummy filling anyways.
And oh, we saw Cosmo centerfold hottie Corey Willis walking about with a huge Fed-ex looking package in one arm. He's sooo HOT I swear! But in person, he was less posh looking compared to those billboards, print ads, commercials and TV guestings. Still, he was HOT! The moment I saw him, me and Debbie followed him around trying to get a good look at his face. If only he wasn't carrying something, I would have asked for his autograph! I don't care if it's corny. Oh God! I was just so starstruck! =) Hehe....
Corey and his lucky lucky LUCKY gf!!! awww... ;)
Anyways, after that, we headed off home... dead tired, but very much fulfilled... and defintely "rewarded." I just hope I aced that Geography exam... ;)

Let's drink to that!
It's extremely rare for people who've grown up together in the same country, to actually end up in another country under the same roof! Although the term "homies" would actually describe one's group of friends, for the three of us, "homies" has a double meaning. We're friends sharing the same home. Even if it's only temporary, it's a hell load of fun!
The other night, Ruby my roomie, (hm, THAT rhymes!),haha... suggested that we totally get wasted in our room. Just the three of us. Since we've never done THAT before as a trio, it was actually a great idea! And hey, coming from Ruby? Your poster child for "Say NO to teenage vices."? Miss Can-do-no-wrong? Me and Debbie jumped at the oppurtunity! It was our first time after all, to see Ruby get drunk, and for once, enjoy herself, the baaaad way.... wahahahaha!
After tripping down to Sm North for clothes, and "supplies," the drinking session started at around 2am. Debbie had gone to some costume party, and instructed me and Ruby on what to get at 7eleven. At this point, I must say, that I am not a HUGE fan of drinking. I drink occasionally, but I am somewhat a virgin when it comes to alcohol. My endurance isn't really that high... My point exactly? I had no idea what to get! Lime juice, sprite and all that! Thank God for Debbie- our professional alcoholic... (the tame version, that is) ;)
Anyway, we took turns with gin shots, while sharing our New Year's Resolutions and Revelations. After just a few shots, I was already a bit tipsy... which is nothing compared to what happened to Ruby! She was laughing her head off for no reason, and turning bright RED! While Debbie and me exchanged strange looks, Ruby would just keep on laughing! Haha... So that's how she is when she's D R U N K! Knowing that she might puke any minute, and the fact that we wanted to see the effects of RedHorse on her, we made her miss her turn, ... THRICE!
While me and Debbie kept on drinking, we shared secrets about life's problems and the like. It went on for a couple of minutes, and then we just started crying our eyes out! As in MAJOR drama! We were drunk na! I guess that's how I am when I'm lasing. I get into this senti mood, and if you're lucky, as in REAL lucky, I'm pretty quiet. But THAT night was an exception. Although I was in a semi-concious state, I was glad to release my pent up feelings with someone who was going through the same stuff. *Aw Debbz! Loveyah loads!*
Now for the funny part- while we were shedding tears worthy of a FAMAS award, Ruby was already dozing off on her bean bag! *LOL!* It's like, while me and Debbie were unleashing all our lives' drama, we'd look at Ruby and wonder why she wasn't in this too! The poor dear was drunker than we were, and with her mouth wide open, (sorry Ruby! This is my blog revenge!), snoring away to glory! With the three of us already super sabog, it sure looked like we weren't gonna get to the Lambanog or the Red Horse!
Despite all of life's troubles, I'm glad that we still have some things to be grateful for. I couldn't have picked greater people to live with than these two. It's fate... And being with my "homies" has influenced my personality in so many ways... We've gone through so much in less than a year, and it's a shame that we were never this close when we were kids. It's so cool to be able to walk around the house naked- as in stark naked, sporting green facial masks with people who don't care about your appearance. I love staying up all night watching movies with these two, screaming our lungs out, laughing our guts out, crying our eyes out, taking mad pictures, experimenting with all sorts of food, and even having HUGE arguments over petty issues. Lol!!! Everyday is a never-ending sleepover! =) And I truly can't ask for anything more!

The FAT ASS mystery
If some stranger, or better yet, someone you know, calls you "Fat Ass," what do you do?
Do you whirl around and slap that person? *Ugh! How Rude!*
or...
Do you take it as a compliment? *Oooo! Sexy me!*
My sister asked me that same question after watching White Chicks for the nth time in a row, and honestly, I couldn't answer. According to my sister's "GRAND THEORY," one SHOULD feel flattered... because the whole world knows that guys like girls with big butts! And my sis made an EXTREMELY good point when she said that "If your ass is NOT fat, then what the HELL is it???"
True, FAT ASS is waaay better than saying that you have a SKINNY BUTT! Hmmm... think about it. ;)
Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby got Back

The Da Vinci Code
Okay, so I haven't finished the book yet. Actually, I still have around 5 more chapters to go. But I'm sooo excited already, I just HAVE to say something. NOW. As in NOW NA. *heehee*
I am no religious who who. Despite the fact that I have a VERY religious Catholic upbringing *people close to me know what I'm talking about*, I have often questioned whatever faith I had in God, and gave my Dad headaches with a bazillion whys. I was never really attentive when listening to the homilies, and the Gospels, because they always repeat the same thing,... always. The bottom line naman palagi is- *Be good, and spread the word of God* We KNOW THAT. So why do we EVEN need to go to church? I asked my Dad the same question in the car, on the way to, uh.... church, and he said that people need a place to worship, and that is the place. Being the makulit debater, I argued, that we don't need to go to church to pray. We can very well do that at home. It doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that you HAVE to HAVE to HAVE to go and hear Mass. So why? My Dad argued back naman, "Then why do you go to the hospital to get treated, when you can very well just buy medicine, or call the doctor to your home?" Hm. Good point. Still. I think that his argument was pretty weak compared to mine. I still stand by my word.
Anyway, going back to the Da Vinci Code /before I started blabbering/, I'm amazed by how much Dan Brown's book made sense. So NOW we all know the secret behind that Mona lisa. And the painting of the Last Supper? Good grief... That was NO fiction. I've been reading books ever since ever, and The Holy Grail has been mentioned alot... particularly during King Arthur's time. /yeah, I am a fantasy freak/... According to Brown, the Holy Grail is NOT a cup, and really, it makes sense. Why on earth would wars start because of a silly cup? Why would people even want to bother? Hm... Oh, and yeah, WHY exactly are women so discriminated in the Bible? It's like, EVERY woman was accused of being a slut. Can it possibly be true that our religion was just made up? Absolutely false? Will we EVER know the truth before we die?
Don't get me wrong... I believe in God. THAT much I'm sure, because there just HAS to be one. And admit it or not, we all need Him. But I guess that's where the connection between me and anything holy ends. Even before I read the book, I've been questioning everything I was brought up to believe in. Is our faith just made up of stories? Why is the Church making us do so many things? Do we EVEN have to? Why do hypocrite priests EVEN exist? I've seen priests smoke, drink, and the whole world knows, we've all heard of perverted priests too...It makes you wonder how the people you've looked up to all your life do things they swore they wouldn't do. Ano ba kasi talaga? *hay*
What with all these revelations, it's so easy to just not believe anymore. An "agnostic" guy friend of mine considers "The Da Vinci Code" as his Bible. I wouldn't call it that, and I would STILL pen down "Roman Catholic" on my school registration form, because my religion, is after all, a HUGE part of what and who I am. All I'm saying is----I guess we all have the right to doubt. And doubt BIG time.... *????*

It's a sign...
Yesterday, at the airport, I was relieved to find Costa Coffee at the Duty Free area. After ordering my Ciocolatta, I asked the waiter for an ashtray, only to find that the smoker's zone was at Gate 12. At this point, I was already dying for a cigarrette, because as all smokers know- coffee and yosi go together. But when I got to the Smoker's zone, I was sooo annoyed. The entire population in that area were ONLY guys, and they were all standing. I couldn't just stand there with them, smoke, and bring humiliation to myself, so I abstained.
That was sign Number 1.
Last night, as soon as I got to my apartment, I wanted to smoke, but for some reason, I just couldn't. What used to be a chimney session ended up with me just finishing up one stick. After that, I couldn't anymore.
That was sign Number 2.
This morning, on the way to Rustans, I passed by the cigarrette vendor, and I didn't feel the need to take out my wallet and buy a pack...
That was sign Number 3.
Before I left, my Dad showed me a CD-ROM of a "Smoker's Body." Smoking causes hair loss, abnormal sperm count, yellow teeth, sight problems, and other genital related diseases which really grossed me out. Of course I was already aware of the effects even before... but siguro that was my wake up call. Now it's 2005, I promise to stop my being such a chain smoker. I've FINALLY realized how much I love breathing clean air again, like I used to. I'm not willing to give up smoking altogether. Not yet. But for now, I'm glad that I can control it.... Three cheers for me... hehe....

Pet Peeves
- Winter weight gain. I was in Marina Mall today, and I can't believe that I can't fit into size lala hiphuggers! Grrr! I hate winter! I hate the fact that it's too cold to even sweat, and I hate the fact that I can't stop eating at parties! The result of my shopping spree? I ended up buying size lalala pants! Argh! I HATE my body metabolism! I had to cut the picture below because all of a sudden, I had something extra showing.... GRRR... Where the hell did they come from?
- Smoking lectures. My friend Debbie rode in my parents' car today, and I almost died when my folks brought up the topic of smoking effects. F.Y.I- Me and Debbie have been semi-chainsmokers for a couple of years now, and *duh* we KNOW that smoking IS bad bad BAD! We DO plan to quit, but I just HATE it when people lecture us to death like we're a bunch of kids...
- Stalkers! This Thursday, me and Debbz encountered the worst thing you could EVER possibly encounter while malling--- > s t a l k e r s! We were just walking, minding our own business, when some dude came up to us and asked, "Excuse me, is this Seef?" (f.y.i- the mall we were in WAS Seef Mall)... The question was just so *duh*, so we just muttered a sarcastic "yeah" and walked away. But the dude just wouldn't quit. He followed us a few steps more, and asked, "Is this New Life Hotel?" =( That did it! This guy was definitely playing... and it was such a piss off! He wasn't even cute! So, without answering, we just walked away, only to find out that the guy was following us na pala! (Through Magic Island till Seef Megaplex). We sought refuge in the ladies' toilets, but he was STILL waiting outside! We were panicking, and we called up my sister's boyfriend to come pick us up. He did, and the faggot finally left us alone. *Phew!*  - Badmouthers/ Backstabbers. I HATE people who backstab others. Recently, I found out that a trusted friend of mine had been bad mouthing me off to another friend, for no reason at all! And after all that we've been through, I KNOW I didn't deserve that. Not being a fan of plastic-ism, I just can't understand why some people would even want to hang out with you, when, yun pala, they hate your guts. It's rude, and downright stupid...
- Prissy sales ladies/cashier/ waiter people. Okay, with all do respect to these people, there is NOTHING wrong with your jobs. But I just get so annoyed when I ask for assistance and the sales lady I'm talking to just waves her hand and says bluntly, "dun oh!" Before my cracker and tuna diet, I was a frequent Cello's doughnuts customer. I told the lady taking my order that I wanted a Chocnut doughnut. But when she was packing my box of 6 into a.... box, I spotted a Chocolate doughnut, which I did not order. I pointed this out, and she asked me, matter-of-factly, "Are you sure? Kasi sabi mo Chocolate eh. Nakalagay sa papel oh!" I said no, coz, I REALLY didn't order chocolate, I said CHOCNUT and she pratically scolded me when she said, "Hay! Tang ina! Wasting my time!" If there's a word that could describe such a woman, that would be b i t c h. How dare she! It was HER mistake! And isn't it a common rule that the customer is ALWAYS right? *sigh*
- Trying hard Asian Hip Hoppers. There is nothing wrong with rap. In fact, I happen to be a fan of Dice and K9's "Itsumo" and I love American RnB. But if you're a girl in a pop cultured city, and you're a girl with good taste, you'll agree that Filipino guys wearing over sized jerseys, HUGE bling blings, diamond earrings, and caps turned sideways, are, J.O.L.O.G.S. (Or in my friend's words, JJSB's... Jumping Jologs since Birth.) Gosh! It's just so pathetic seeing these guys in the mall who go, "Yo yo, wassup ya'll?" "Peace out ma nigga." ...... blah blah blah.... It's corny, and an insult to our culture. For guys who do that..please! Just be yourself. It's definitely UNCOOL... and a major TURN OFF!
- The country's advertising industry. Lucy Torres for a block and white commercial? Come on! Yeah, she IS immaculately gorgeous, and I have nothing against pale white skinned people, but Lucy? Hello!!! She was BORN white! Why the hell would the advertising people put her in a skin whitening ad? It's cheating! This year, they also put Georgina Wilson for Pond's skin whitening facial wash.... =( (f.y.i- Georgina's a British mestiza. *Duh* She's naturally white..) Why the hell not get Whitney Tyson to endorse? If the product works on her,... holy cow! Imagine your sales.
- INSULTING commercials... While we're on the subject of commercials, I must say that some advertisements on TV nowadays are senseless and insulting. For instance, that "buhaghag" hair commercial? Puhleese don't tell me that no one gets that kind of "Karen hair" from time to time... Did the people behind these advertisements even consider the humidity and pollution behind all those "bad hair days?" I'm a bit hostile because my hair is ALWAYS like that. It gets buhaghag ALL the time, no matter what shampoo or conditioner I use. And yeah, I HAVE tried their product and joys of all joys, it didn't work for me. Plus, THOSE skin whitening commercials? Now what the hell is wrong ba with being brown skinned or "maitim?" People are rushing off to bleaching places because they're being brainwashed with this kind of commercialism. Shame shame shame. What the hell is TV and radio doing to innocent people? Honestly, it's sad.
- The over emphasis that only "maputi" girls are beautiful. That only "skinny" girls are sexy. It's unfair, and strictly not what defines reality. Everyone is beautiful...kaya lang, not everyone can see it.
- Matapobre people. People who step on others' toes just because they consider themselves better than everyone else. I'm talking about the people who put others down in public just to make themselves feel better. Someone who insults someone else without looking at him/herself. Unfortunately, I HAVE encountered some people, and it's downright nasty.... lalong lalo na if the person is innocent and is being picked on. Sad sad sad.- The poverty in our country is so not funny. Our country is going down. And if the government won't do anything about it, what na? It always ruins my day every time I see little children run naked in the streets begging for money. The other day, I was in the car, and this girl threw water on the windshield and started wiping it off. Then she knocked on the driver's window and asked for some coins. Can you imagine what kind of parents these kids have? Why don't they take care of their kids? So kawawa naman. When a parent becomes a parent, he and she must do everything to shoulder the family's needs. If the parents really cared, they would never let their kids on the streets... Then again, no one can really blame them... what with the country's unemployment rate and all... Argh... but STILL...
- The pollution. No questions asked. I once read that this guy was diagnosed with lung cancer because of the air pollution. And he has NEVER smoked a cigarrette his whole life. Everyone knows that Manila is the second dirtiest city in the world. What used to be crystal clear waters, are now disgusting garbage dumpsites and breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria and diseases. We have yet to find a government politician who can solve all these problems... Question is... WHEN will THAT happen? Hm.
- People in my age group who don't care about education. No. I'm no teacher, and I do have "lazy" moods from time to time. But at least, I appreciate every second of school life. So what annoys me is this- people who make "takas" from their studies, flunk, then screw their lives up. I'm no goodie goodie, and I'm not perfect, but I know enough to not mess up my future. It's sad how so many kids can't even reach college, yet, there are so many who don't even want to stay in college. They're just not making the most out of it. Waste of money. Waste of time. Waste of the country's only hope for development. Most of all, waste of a good life.
- Overpriced whatever. First off, Starbucks. Ok, I admit, I am a Starbucks customer. And a regular one at that. But sometimes talaga, their prices are just sooo exag. I mean, this November-December 2004, they had this promo, wherein you had to collect a total of 21 stickers, with each purchase of selected drinks, so that you could get the 2005 planner. According to my calculations... , 21 stickers is equivalent to around 2200 pesos. All that for a planner. Hay... the things some people do. Then there are those signature clothes. But that can't be helped. People who've got the cash splurge all the time, and I admit, when I have the money, I do too. So what is it exactly that peeves me? The inevitable-ness of splurging on things I don't really need.. just to feel good about myself. Or is it because I wanna experience the sossy-ness of it all? Blame it on those teen mags. *hay*
