movie buff
A bunch of cool movies are gonna be released soon, and I am so so sooooo excited to watch them.
"Memoirs of a Geisha"
I am just ecstatic that Zang Ziyi is slated to play Sayuri. There's no Asian actress out there who fits the bill just right. And she's so pretty... ;) I wonder who's gonna play Hatsumomo. I heard that Michelle Yeoh's gonna be in it too. Gosh. I'm excited to see the costumes and the entire set. I'm such a sucker for cultural movies.
"Harry Potter 4: The Goblet of Fire"
The 4th book has to be my favorite book by far. I still haven't gotten around to begging someone to lend me the 6th book. (I'm a cheapskate I know). I was fascinated over the entire Quidditch mania the book was full about, and I've been wondering for years exactly how it's gonna be on the screen. Plus, the guy who plays Hogwarts' hearthrob is hot hot hot. (It's coming out in November!!!) yiheeee!
"The Da Vinci Code"
I loved the book... and it was such a shoo-in to be included in the book-turned-movie list. I didn't quite agree about their choice for Langdon though. I expected George Clooney would have fit the part much better than Tom Hanks.

feed me and i'll love u forever
One of my favorite friends has a huge dilemma. Apparently, alot of bitchy girls (yeah you heard right. b. i . t. c. h. y) are out to ruin her life by saying this and that about her. It's downright pathetic if you ask me. And during one of our restroom touch up breaks, we happened to discuss her problem.
I'm no stranger to this kind of nasty bullshit, since I often get people talking about me... like they even know me, to begin with. (I'm typing this while rolling my eyes). Duh... It's literally impossible to please everyone. And like it or not, people will always be out to ruin you. I had often asked my other friends about this, since it used to bother me... but all they said was "people who spread shit about you are just jealous." Annnnd I agree. Frankly because I love my life, and since they're so unhappy with theirs, they think it ups their happiness level once they try to make you miserable. They try so hard to make sure that you have a flaw in your personality and they magnify it a million times over to make you come out as the bad guy. LIKE THEY'RE SO FREAKIN PERFECT. (Again, I roll my eyes). My message to such low-lives? PUHLEESE grow up! That kind of shit is sooo old school high school. Oh, and while you're at it, why don't you just knit a sweater instead of wasting your time practicing your vocal chords?
I tried to console my friend saying, that when people are out to destroy you, it's just cause you matter THAT much to them. If you think about it in another way, it's actually a compliment, cos they actually bother with your life.
My final advice to end the conversation? "NEVER trouble yourself over people who don't even feed you." So unless they're willing to financially support your food cravings for McDonald's every time you get hunger pangs,
WHO. THE. FUCK. ARE. THEY?

*sigh*
Every bloody time I see couples acting all mushy around each other, my favorite reaction would have to be one big, fat sigh. Not in a negative sense, no. But it's just cos I love the feeling of being just like that. In love. When your knees buckle every time you kiss, and when you get all kilig at every sweet thing he says. The way your hands tremble when you reach for your phone, knowing that he just texted or is calling. The way your face lights up every time his name pops up on YM. The way you notice how he's staring at you, but pretend to not have noticed anyway. The way you can just sit there with him, and enjoy his company, even when no words are being uttered. =)
My friends and I are just suckers for love. I think 99% of all our conversations are focused on this topic. (The rest is purely gossip). Hehe. We talk about anything and everything we want when in a relationship. And anything and everything we don't want. I think I can just go on and on for hours repeating stuff I read in Cosmo, or relate the experiences I've had from my past, (utterly useless) relationships. I guess it helps let off all the negative vibes I've gone through before... and helps me stay focused on what I really want this time.
Now as for the question on whether I have found what I want in someone.... I'll leave that for future posts. Wouldn't want to jinx myself. Heh.
Oh yeah, I watched "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the 3rd time tonight. Johnny Depp is hot hot hot dude! So is Orlando Bloom. But nobody acts as well as THE Depp. He can roll around in mud and sport yellow teeth... heck even star in a happy kiddie movie with candies... but to hell man, he's sooo hot. I've loved him since I was six!
Now, a man with THAT much ageless appeal... that's something to definitely *sigh* about.

music phase
I am currently addicted to house music. And I've been downloading Hed Kandi songs off Limewire like crazy. I'm not sure how this addiction started, but it kinda feels cool knowing that I am finally appreciating a music genre I always used to diss and dismiss.
Aaaah. Change is good.

favoritism at its best
Yesterday's cheerdance competition rocked! Ateneo's routine improved, including Adamson's. De la Salle's Nestle prop was too conyo for words. They had an army tank going around the floor while their pep squad were performing with mock guns. I was surprised, but not impressed. In all honesty, I didn't think we'd bag any place at all.
I wasn't satisfied with the UP routine. One of the pep squad members fell off during the balancing act, and I didn't find anything super special about their Nestle Non-Stop segment. Still, in true UP fashion, we were screaming our guts out, and we were passing around the hugest banner that ever was. If we ever had a reason to even bag the second place this year (again), it has to be credited to full audience participation. We've got oodles of school spirit, and oh-god, I'm just sooo proud! Haha... Better luck next year though... I'm just dying for the day when we finally knock UST off the champion spot.
Araneta was packed yesterday... and I saw the cutest shirt on a fellow UP student that said, "UP AKO. IKAW?"
Haha.... I want a shameless shirt just like that!
As usual, we made tambay at Starbucks with Aica, Neil, Friaz and Chi, her guy. They were teasing me like god-knows what for being by my lonesome. Rawr. Right.... rub it in now will you?
p.s- my laptop's coming soon. I'm sooo excited!

and so...
This week has gone by so fast. And through its ups and downs, it's such a relief to know that the people you consider as your bestest friends in the whole wide world were there to help you get by.
I had thought that applying for a certain school "org" would up my self-esteem and boost my ego... but in the end, I realized that I had been working my ass off for the wrong reasons. This past week, I have been staying up till 3am everyday to be in school by 8:30 am. I have been through the worst scenarios associated when applying for a prestigious "org", and that includes ridicule, and senseless criticisms for the most mundane things. But on that fateful Friday night, I gave up what used to be my dream, and discovered that I am worth so much more than what I initially thought of myself.
I'm not exactly allowed to go into the details, lest someone from that "org" manages to google me, and find my blog... but that "org" experience was something that I shall never forget, and it was something that made me realize that being me is okay. And that quitting in the end, is one of the bravest decisions one can ever make, as long as it comes from the heart.
Sappyness aside... I am loving life right now. I love not having a care in the world except for my Acads and the little problem concerning my love life. It's wonderful to wake up in the morning and not having to worry worry worry and be pressured all the time. Those were the little things I had always taken for granted, and may never have had time to appreciate had it not have been for my dare-I-say "traumatic" experience.
Moving on... I am sooo obsessed with "Desperate Housewives." I am in love with the gardener and his grey eyes are just so dreamy... I can just faint. I am also loving Eva Longoria. I love love love her! I also love her closet... and I am just dying for the day when I'd get to own at least half the stuff she wears on TV.

tiredness
I normally love field trips, but today, I was just so tired to actually appreciate everything around me. This past week has been soooo tiring, and I cannot reiterate how tired I am and how I'm not used to this kind of fatigue.
Moving on, I DID manage to appreciate Caliraya though. It's soo sooo soooo pretty... I just want to live there. Maybe when I'm all rich and famous probably. I have decided that beaches are overrated, and if I were to choose a place to retire to, it'd definitely be Caliraya.
Good Lord. I'm in love.

end of days
NO I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE.
Ever since what's happened so far happened, I've realized that I'm worth so much more than what I've been feeling these past few days. People have not exactly been all too friendly to me, and I gave it all up today. I gave up what I thought I always wanted to be, and surprisingly, it has to be one of the best decisions I have ever made to save my future.
I have no regrets though. I've learnt so much about myself, and made new friends, so all the hardships I've been through did me some good somehow.
Experience is the best teacher... and this is one experience I will never ever forget.

Life hasn't been good to me lately... and sometimes, I wonder whether all the hardships I'm going through will be worth it in the end. I can hardly walk, and I have just around 3 hours of sleep everyday.
just a bit more...
it seems so faaar away.

bad days oh bad days
"NEVER EVER give up. Because it's by giving up when you fail."
Okay so those "giving up" thoughts have been recurring alot lately. So I'm sooo sooo sooo glad that I'm with my bestest friends in the whole world in this. This has been the worst day of my life this semester, and well, I'm sure horrible i-want-to-die days will surely follow.
Oh God the pressure!
please please pretty please help me SURVIVE!

haaay
i still have to adapt to the mentality to move on and get over past relationships. These past two months have been crazy. I've managed to prove to myself so many things, and just basically leap into the debating world out of scratch. I've learnt so so much... and met such wonderful people. So last night at Claire's house, I was trying to fight back the tears. The tears that so wanted to come out- not because I might be rejected. But because I have a hard time letting go of friendships that I have built over these past two months.
It's been tough. I can't reiterate how tough it has been. I've sacrificed so much... but even through all that... even though I don't get accepted, I know that I'll be okay. All the sleepless nights and exhaustion has all been worthwhile. But if I don't get in... again, I'll be okay. There are other things to dip my feet into.
Now I have other matters to worry myself about... and I hope that just like this past experience... all the sacrifices I have yet to make will all be worth it.
