10 Bagay na gusto kong sabihin at itanong sa'yo

1. Ngayon ko lang finally nalaman kung saang pelikula at sino ang nagsabi ng linyang ito (na chinallenge namin sa'yo dati pero napahiya kami kasi walang nakakaalam samin ng sagot): "Immortality, take it. It's yours."

2. Ano ang nagtutulak sa'yo para sumama sa grupo namin kahit na tecnically ay hindi ka part ng aming crowd? Napakabilis mong yayain tsong. Not that it's a bad thing.

3. Dahil sa'yo e hindi ko na nakakausap ng matino si Kuya Randy at hindi na'ko madalas tumitingin sa gawing yun.

4. Pinapasaya mo ko. You give me goosebumps. You make me wanna go to AS kahit na wala na kong business dun whatsoever.

5. Ano kaya ang naiisip o iniisip mo pag nasa Up There tayo habang obviously ay pinagtutulakan ako ng mga napakababait kong mga kaibigan?

6. Kapag nakakasama kita tumatahimik ang mundo ko. Pero after ng ilang set nyo, bumabalik na din sa dati kasi alam kong may tama ka na din.

7. Sobrang awkward nung nangyaring yun satin that first night at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako tinatantanan ng mga tao. Super embarassing moment yun!

8. Masama na kung masama ang dating pero sana di mo na sya mamiss. Hindi sya para sayo. At lalong hindi rin ako no! Pero I have this feeling, we all do, that you are much better off with someone who can swim well into your deep realm.

9. Sana hindi ka nagba-blog or wala kang koneksyon sa site na 'to dahil kung hindi..patay tayo dyan!

10. Alam mo na ata na crush kita e! Oh well. Talu-talo na. Wala namang mawawala sakin e.

Extraordinary Christmas for an equally extraordinary me



Ha! Forgive the title. But I've recently realized that each of us are extraordinary in our own way. Anyway, on to the more essential subject.

Bago ang lahat, HABERDEY muna kay Papa Jesus! Amen.

I haf to say that this is one of the most, if not the greatest, memorable christmas in my entire life. Previous christmases i've celebrated weren't that much especially on my earlier days (which i don't even have the vaguest idea for the life of me) although there were probably some memorable times too. Hindi ko na ma-contain into words ang feeling. The feeling of having uber nice and happy family. It's well, the biggest thing that is lacking in my life. But being with them (and other families i've been with) compensates for the family that I never had. And even just that is enough of a gift from God.

And i really, really love the gifts that i got. Every single one of them. The new slippers. Pride and Prejudice. The BFG. Hankies. And a new shirt. To quote popsie 'thank God for small favors'. though i didn't find these stuff as 'small favors'. :)
Salamat ulit!

Hope everyone else around had a good fun.

Goal next year: magkaroon na ng mp3. yep. ganun lang kasimple ang buhay. Because i believe in ' No Music, No Life' mantra. to graduate and then find a job soon after. Amen to that.

If given a chance to wish something para sa next year, kalabisan bang humingi ng:

1) pambayad ng sagada trip next year (on january)?
2) a triple A rechargeable battery?
3) makasama ang crush ko sa birthday nya?

you be the judge.

Last Hurrah for 2006

Although last minute na nangyari ang mga bagay-bagay, simula sa pagpapareserve ng venue at pag-aasikaso ng mga foodie, i'm real proud to say that UP Explore did it once again. Even if we're really low on funds we made it through the Christmas Party cum Applicant's Night in what better venue than the Balay Kalinaw. Yes. Ang BALAY KALINAW ng UP.

Kahit na nagsimula ang araw ko na 'to na windang na windang I'm, sooo glad na na-accomplish ko lahat ng gagawin ko. At plus na lang talaga ang panonood ng Annual Oblation Run. Haha. Honestly, wala sya sa schedule ko that day pero since sarado pa naman ang office na hinihintay ko, aba, might as well watch na lang. Lo and behold! kahit nasa second floor lang ako at feeling ko wala naman talaga kong makikita aba, akalain mong dumaan sila sa harap namin mismo sa 2nd floor! Yung tipong kahit na mag-one-on-one pa kami ng lahat ng tumakbo e di magkukulang ng partner kasi ganun kakonti ang tao dun. hehe.

After watching the infamous OR, i headed to OSA para magpapirma kay Ma'am Cuevas at kahit na pinaghintay nila ko ng apat na oras e sige, fine, okay na yun sakin kasi kailangan talaga namin yun para magamit na namin ng officially ang Balay.

Ngapala, isa ito sa pinakamalungkot na taon sa buhay ko sa UP and I'm sure for most of the Peyups' population. Wala na ngang Lantern Parade, naipasa pa ang Tuition Fee Increase! Punyemas na Buhay talaga! Kaya kailangang maging last sem ko na talaga 'to.

At since birthday ni Eman kinabukasan at last day na namin sa UP for this year, natural lang na may inuman! Muli, UP THERE na naman ito. Pramis, ito ang pinakamalaking event na nangyari samin (at least yung mga frequent customers nila). Super andaming tao. Aside sa mga usual peeps like Pam, Van, Eman, Me, and Juraine ay may mga bagong recruit ang Up There. Kasama din ang mga UPX mems like Aileen, Essie, Patrick, Izay, Darryl, Hummy, Jaja (and Cox), Joey. Dumating pa sila Rain, Ice, Mica at grupo nila Mon at Darren. Napakasaya ng mood. May mga taong kahit noon lang nagkita ay nag-bond ng parang 10 years na silang magkasama. Wasakan moment? syempre meron din! At lahat na yata ng toast e nai-toast na namin. Nung may dumating pang ibang taga-UP din mas naging masaya pa kasi total singing performance sila. Ang saya maging taga-UP. Lahat talaga tayo may itinatagong kajologan deep inside our soul. HAHA!
Wapaaak talaga.

Para sa mga Up There Mates...Cheers!

My Christmas Wish List (Yea ba!)

Pero bago ang lahat, random thoughts muna from the past days. Kung hindi man ako bored or bum ng mga panahong yan, then i guess it's what you can call the other "creative side" of mine. Ha! As if.

* Supertyphoon Durian (as what i like to call her) got probably lost or disoriented or whatever a typhoon does when she hit Philippines. Hey, it's just an idea.

*A case-scenario question is a good brain stimulator and a nice way to talk to your crush. Gosh. I hope he doesn't have a multiply account or a blog or a friend-friend-friend.. Biglang na-praning.

*Crosswords and Sudoku puzzles rule my bum times. And i have a lot of it. God i just want it to be 2007 already so that i can steer my life into new horizons. finally.

*Honey? Anong ibig sabihin ng 2-3 bond years? Sorry sa kaengotan!

*After reading the Great Glass Elevator, i realized that a space hotel is kinda cool (minus the USA after the space hotel though). Roald Dahl was an amazing, amazing guy. He's one of the writer i probably would've wanted to meet (along with Stephen King and Ann Martin) if he was still alive. Sigh. Must have been real cool to have him as a father or a grandfather or an uncle or a godfather. you get the point.


*Salman Rushdie had once been a very sensational guy. Just finished reading The Rushdie Letters at naliwanagan na naman po ako.

My grown-up and not-so-grown-up Christmas wish list:


Of course I do not expect to receive every single one of these but it's a wish list and i can put every imaginable and unimaginable stuff that my heart desires BUT, the practical (and kuripot) side of me screams that it doesn't have to be that way. Times are hard and so is the money to get all this and i don't have an account in Cayman Island nor do i have Donald Trump for my father or Oprah Winfrey as my mother so let's just get real here.

1. Socks (anything but plain white)
2. a pocket dictionary (i think i'm behind with big words again)
3.Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.yung Dover Thrift Collection lang kasi PhP 129.00 lang.hehe.
4. The Orange Puzzle Book. Sa NBS. I fell in love with the contents and of course, the color itself.
5. A new Shirt.
6. 10 dollars. Please don't ask me why. :)

********
if i have my way (and resources) i really would've want to have the following:

CDs

1.Angels & Airwaves- We Don't Need to Whisper
2.Switchfoot- Beautiful Letdown
3.My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade
4.Snow Patrol- Eyes Open
5.Sugarfree- Talaarawan
6.Sandwich- Thanks to the Moon's Gravitational Pull (the last album they did with Marc A. in it)


Other Stuff:


*A plain army green Dupe slippers
*Life of Pi by Yann Martel
*Creative (that's about what i think i can afford in due time)
*late christmas stuff to give to important people.

So, next year i must, MUST have a job or sideline o kahit anupamang raket in order to have these extras. sobrang bored na din ako ako sa oras na pinapalagpas ko when i could be doing a thousand other significant things in my life. So help me God.
Happy 1st of December!
