grasp this

Sometimes we are in love in the idea of falling in love. Loving the illusion of having or missing someone. It's alright to feel happy through other people, but don't get dependent on achieving happiness by being with someone.Love yourself first before sharing your life with somebody because if you don't, you will always look for people that you think can make you complete. And in the end, it will make you lose yourself more, bit by bit, piece by piece.

Amen to that, Rocky.

of first times, brat-but-adorable kids and total nosebleed

"I wanna die now".
---"If you die here I'll just leave you in there and your dying wouldn't look really regal".

" I don't wanna walk anymore."
---Kids.

"I don't want to do this again next year!"
---(as we bid everyone our goodbyes and thank you's Fac Hardy said "so, will we see you next year?" and the answer was a chorus of "YESSSS". I love these kids.Really.

"I would give everything just to have a motor bike in here!"
---And me answering with a gleeful look, "You mean everything?"

"Ate, you blow your whistle na, that's my favorite part.
---(thank you kiddo!)

Those were just a few among the many lines I heard on my first ever Lakbay trip as an OJT. Subject: Grade 5, St. Paul College Pasig students. Status: strictly English only (because there were also Korean students in the class). Result: Total nosebleed. Why am I, in the first place even there? Well, a change of heart. I was so happy because I thought I was in good company of TL Oca in Bus 1 but he changed the positions at the last minute.Ha! My karma. Juraine's karma was quite bad but in a very good way. Imagine that. The facilitators (facs) assigned in our bus were really having a hard time interpreting history in English. Makes sense to me but what does not is one fac who is SO lazy he didn't do anything much. Blech.

But despite uber hyper kids and spoiled and bratty kids, I really enjoyed this this trip. Okay, so I must have fumed too many times that day but that's only because my facilitators are really not that efficient. Arrgghh. But the kids made up my facs' lost cause. So many questions, a LOT of English, too many camera flashes, too much addiction in High School Musical. But they are really sweet kids. And for me, they made the whole trip bearable and fun.But the best part? The applause I got before we said goodbye to each other. I'll probably sound so conceited but I was real proud of that moment. Let's just say that the applause I got was way greater than my facs on board. haha!

" Kapag na-in-love sya sakin, pipilitin ko talagang ma-in-love rin sa kanya".
---the best quote of the day! (happened after the trip, while AJ and I was sorta relaxing). Haha!

kailangan na kasing magbawas

mga samu't saring laman ng mms saved items ko. yung iba naisip ko lang, yung iba chanced upon, yung iba yung ayaw kong makalimutan at karamihan ay mga nagandahan ako kaya kinopya ko na lang. :)

*the person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly. - 11 minutes, Paulo Coelho (i'm not really into Mr. Paulo Coelho but i really liked this sentence or whatever.ummpp.see i don't even know what it's called!)

*"Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction". Pope BenedictXVI (nagustuhan ko sya kahit na madaming tao ang kilala ko na natatakot sa kanya. oh well.)

* "He's the gooey, sticky stuff that holds us together". - Diego on Sid (I love toughy Diego. even though he is so annoying or really gets bossy sometimes. But there's really a mellow side of him. And i especially loved him when he said this to sid, which i also love!)

* It gladdens me to know that people text me from wherever they are just to let me know that Ping is appearing in this or that show.- upon June, Ela, and Anna's texts (Me being a Ping addict must have shown a lot!)

*" I wish I knew how to quit you". - Jack Twist, Brokeback Mountain (syempre, sino ang hindi makakakilala kay papa jake ng sinabi nya ang kanyang famous line! ang naisagot ko na lang ay, "then quit him for cripe's sake!". or another line that is something like that pa rin haha!)

* "We in Illyria do not discriminate by gender!" - coach, She's the Man (I love Amanda Bynes. eversince All That days ay like ko na talaga sya. And this movie was really good despite what other people say about it Basta, kakaibang twist at syempre ang classic Amanda humor ay kitang-kita)

*-Krafty by New order
-Only by Nine Inch Nails
-You're All I Have- Snow Patrol
-High and Dry version of Jamie Cullum
-Girl Next Door by Saving Jane
-Learning the Hard Way by the Gin Blossoms
-My Friend's Over You by Newfound Glory
-The Adventures by Angels and Airwaves
-Hundred by The Fray

Yung 1-7 songs e mga kanta lang yun na narinig ko sa radyo at ayaw ko lang makalimutan muna kaya nililista ko. Yung last two ay mga kantang pinakinggan ko sa Tower Records uli ng libre (syempre pa!) at tracks na nagustuhan ko.

kamusta na? andyan ka pa ba...

matagal din akong nawala sa blog world. busy-busyhan.nagpapaka-busy.feeling busy.minsan, over busy. saan ikamo? sa pag-iisip,paghahanap-buhay, paghahanap ng iba-t ibang raket, pag-aanalyze ng mga nangyayari sa lablayp ng ibang tao, pangangalap ng tsismis (hehe), pagta-transcribe, pagsali sa mga contest, manalangin na manalo sa contest at medyo konting akademik life. balanseng-balanse di ba! yun.konti lang naman kung tutuusin pero halos sumakit na ulo ko sa pag-iisip gabi-gabi kung ano ba talagang gagawin ko sa buhay ko. alam ko ang gusto kong gawin, pero kung pano, yun ang malaking tanong. pero habang nandito pa naman ako, salamat ng marami na rin sa mga taong nasa likod ng lahat ng ito. you know who you are.

basta. masaya pa rin naman ako kahit papaano at nakakakita pa ko ng dahilan para sa mga susunod na araw. hala.

currently loving

the fray.
Astig sya! Melancholic/rocking tunes.
Magaleng talaga. Now I know why people in the States
are having 'the fray' syndromes.
Trivia:
Sa tower records ko lang pinakinggan yung buong CD nila. haha. Katulad ng pakikinig ko kay Jack Johnson, High School Musical Soundtrack at marami pang iba, Sorry pero thank you ng madame!

craving for...

RITZ cheese sandwich crackers.
Aaahhhh.. para kong buntis na napapanaginipan
na ang pagkain sa kanya. kaines. mahal kasi e. hmmpp.
