stressed
When you're stressed, you miss moments like these...
Life's been a whole load of hullabullshit lately. I'm having a hard time juggling so many things, I honestly don't know what to prioritize! I'm currently applying for UP Debate Society, which is just about one of the most prestigious orgs in the country. They require so much from applicants, it's stressing me out. It doesn't help either that I've never debated before, and I know just as much about current events as a blonde knows about Einstein's theories. Still, I'm learning... and it's doing me good so far. But I swear, IF, I don't get in after all my hard work... I don't care how silly it sounds... I swear I'm gonna cry. =( My family's leaving in about a week. I'm trying to spend as much time as I can with them... but with the way my commitments have been overlapping each other, it's been tough. I can't believe their month long stay is almost over! I'm missing them already... and oh Gosh... I wish they'd stay a little longer. There's nothing like having your family near you that makes you feel complete.

uh huh
I have turned into one MAJOR basketball junkie. UP's ahead of the other schools with a whopping 3 wins NO LOSSES! I am just so ecstatic, and for the first time EVER, I feel in touch with my masculine side!
Oh baby oh baby!
I brought my sister along the other day for UP vs NU game, and I felt glad when I saw her cheering for my school as well. I kinda felt dumb when she started talking b ball speak, using alien terms like "steal" and "rebound". All I could reply was, "Whatever. We're winning."
We did, with a cool cool score of 81-59. Oh my!
I guess that's where me and my sister are so totally different. She's this basketball player/ cheerleader who's always on the go, while I'm this mall person who prefers all stuff girly, terrified of any physical activity, (except maybe situps). Still, I'm learning.... and I'm glad that these days, I'm more concerned over the game, instead of the cute basketball players. Strange how it had to take a cheerleading class to change my entire perception of basketball. I'm like, so frickin addicted, and it's all I ever talk about these days.
p.s- The pep squad head drummer is so cute, he's distracting me from watching the game! I so wanna be his friend. Heehee. He seems really nice, and although he's not drop-dead gorgeous, it's the fact that he doesn't know he's cute and that makes him even more gorgeous in MY eyes. (I'm not making sense I know) . Haaay... He's so hot I can just faint. Parumparumpum!
I wanna stalk him.
Rawr.

oh puhleese...
I need to whine.
I so hate it when people talk about you when you're like, just a feet away from them. What sucks even more is that they aren't aware that you're STILL around. They didn't say anything horrible, it was just the fact that I was THERE to hear them say whatever they had to say.
Some people can be so rude.
Then again, someone once told me, "When people talk about you, it's a sure sign that you matter to them."
If it weren't for that quote echoing again and again in my mind, I'd be in jail by now.
My Filipino prof was right when he said that Filipinos are so rude.
We are.
Since news of the GloriaGate Scandal broke out, text mesages, ringtones, jingles, write-ups, etc etc... have been circulating the country. As funny as the "Hello Garci" thingamajig may be, it's so sad that this is the way we treat our very own President. She is STILL in power and the fact that we don't show any respect proves how our values are going down.
Today, PGMA,.... I feel ya.
And I take comfort in knowing that you must be going through "worser" crap.

hey mama.
Had a HUGE with Mamu last night. Since I hit my teens, fights with my mother have turned out to be some sort of routine whenever we happen to be under the same roof. I love her to bits but sometimes, well, you know, it's not always sunshine between the both of us.
Daddy says that me and Mom are so alike when it comes to our respective personalities. We both hate to lose, and we always fight about who's right and who isn't. We fight like cats and dogs, you'd almost think that she wasn't my Mother.
Bottom line- SHE always ends up being the winner.
We're on good terms again, but our fight has taught me a valuable lesson...
I have to steer away from trouble.
She worries about me all the time, and I have to keep reminding her not to.
These days, I find myself worrying about her and I have to keep calling the other house to check if she's alright, if she got home safely, what she's doing... etc.
Methinks this is where the table's starting to turn.
I have to start taking care of myself more, and in the process, I also take care of her.
I love you Mommy. I hope we never fight again.

that's hot.
Last night, me and my Fil25 groupmates went to Conspiracy bar in Visayas Ave, for Joey Ayala's gig. I have never heard Joey perform before, although I have had the opportunity to in the past. I had thought "then" that his music was not my cup of tea... knowing that he uses ethnic instruments and sings Filipino songs about nature, and all stuff teenagers find boring. But last night, I was just in awe... I even surprised myself!
He was dressed in military pants, slippers and a torn tshirt when he walked in. He never stopped smiling and that made him all the more approachable. I was never a fan, but the minute I saw him, I was starstruck. Even more so when he performed. He sang with such passion, as if you can actually "feel" what his lyrics were all about. When he sang a sappy love song, one of my friends actually cried! It was surreal. Oh, he was just so amazing. And the way he strummed that guitar! My God! Can I just say that his fingers are... so... slow??? Haha... His playing was purely orgasmic! =)
He was really nice too... you'd almost forget that you were talking to a celebrity who's music is well renowned the world over. His sister, Cynthia Alexander, was there as well, and I can just kick myself for not charging my camera's spare batteries.... =(
I was kinda upset when I had to go, but I promised myself to be down at Conspiracy sometime soon!
UP FIGHT!!!
The UAAP's basketball first game of the year!!! And can I just say that I, am so FUCKIN PROUD of my school!!! They beat UST (69-66) and that, my dear friends, has gotta be the closest game I have ever EVER seen!!! There was a point when we practically gave up cheering and just sat down and stared at the score board, expecting the worst. I even saw someone in my row fast asleep!!! Haha. UP was behind by 9 points during the last quarter, and I'm just so fazed that we caught up to UST during the last 2 minutes of the game!
  
I have never screamed so much in my life!
I swore. I laughed. I prayed. And I amost cried! This has gotta be the happiest I've been since school started! It was just.so.cool! I can just faint from pride, and I can't stop smiling! When I was walking around the mall after the game, I was proudly holding my UP flag, all the while thinking,
"Yeah baby... REP.RE.SENT!!! I'm from "this" school! Uh-huh, right here!"
I even went a bit psycho for awhile and texted almost everyone in my phonebook, even people from other schools! They even replied, "Uh, I'm not from your school. I think you've got the wrong number." (Or something to that effect). Heh.
There's nothing like collegiate basketball. And there's no school that screams as much as UP!!! No other school has "the wave." According to TJ Manotoc, they failed to hear the buzzer TWICE during the last quarter!
God it was crazy! And I've got 9 more basketball games to watch! I feel like such a boy today.Heehee...
I just hope UP wins the championship. It's common knowledge that we haven't got the greatest team, and I kinda get sad when people don't believe that the Maroons can make it to the finals. Even their own coach, and the majority of the UP population itself! It's sad, but there's no harm in wishing I suppose... We are the top university in the country after all. ;) And just for that, win or lose, I am just so proud to be in this school.
UP GO!!!
UP WIN!!!
UP FIGHT!!!
p.s- Someone once told me, "First there was UP. Then there were the rest." I couldn't have said it better.

blahblahblah
I have a new resolution.
i will "try" to mellow down and not be so loud and noisy all the time.
why?
because
1) noisy girls intimidate boys.
*nothing else follows*
this is part of my new plan to regain a healthy social/love life.
p.s- This is gonna be hella hard. SILENCE and Me never EVER did make a good team.
Will I survive?
Watch this space.

going down
Our country's economic state is so NOT funny anymore. The cost of almost everything has been shooting up, and really, it's getting annoying.
To think that I chose to study in the Philippines because I thought that everything came in cheap.
Today we were supposed to buy a laptop, but while canvassing for one, we found out that the laptops being sold here totally rob people of their money! And baby, I'm talking 15-16 thousand Pinoy bucks. A 512 GB laptop in Bahrain costs 15k less than a 230 GB laptop over here under the same brand!!! What the hell? Is that highway robbery or what?
*sigh*
Dad promised to send me a lappie once he returns home though... but still, I returned home today a very disappointed girl....Shit happens.... what can I say?
Oh yeah, I've got tons of cookies in my larder. There's Apple Pie cookies, Marks and Spencers marshmallow chocolate biscuits, and loads of Choco Chip cookies (Chips Ahoy and this other brand I can't recall) There are tons of chocolates inside the fridge too!!! If I finished all that in one day, hmmm... I do wonder how many pounds I'll gain in one sitting... ???
Random pics of the week. We took a road trip to Pangasinan... since my folks are onto this whole pilgrimage mission...
Oh and yeah, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf rock! I love their ice blended drinks. I just totally disagree about the waiting part though. Starbucks doesn't make you wait THAT long!!! rawr.
 coffee buds to death.
