2 days of Freedom left!
School (including the hell of enrollment days that mark the official end of summer) starts in two days, and I seriously don't like that idea. Almost everyone will start school in around two weeks (june 15 or 14?), but NoOOoo! I'll be back in school at least a week before.
Turning to other matters...
Could it be possible for a person to go around places without a single centavo at hand? It just feels weird, I guess, and uncomfortable. what if something comes up? or I suddenly have to commute home or whatever. 0_0 *Sigh* The Lifestyles of the Broke and Paranoid... -_-
And I visited National bookstore today, and guess what? I saw at least 4 books I really want to own, 2 books Bianca has been looking for for months (a year maybe? And get this, France and I decided several months ago that it was our goal to find one of these and buy it for Bianca's graduation, but it was TOO rare to exist then. >:\ hmph... ), and even a very elusive book that BONG has been searching for but has never found. All in one branch, all at once. @_@ A sadness of economy... T_T I really want those 4 books too. T_T
Wish List for my Birthday
1. The book in National bookstore part 2
2. The book in National bookstore part 3
3. The continuation of this particular series that isn't in National: *toot* part 4 (and so on cause i dunno how many they are...)
4. **I* Don't I wish... X(
5. the other 2 books? even better if i can find them in bargain bookstores. :D
6. and a lot of other miscellaneous things. . .
Maybe if I wasn't in a really extreme case of bankruptcy I'd actually consider buying myself those books. u_u But of course, I've no such luck. *Examines list* Hmm... I think I'll make it my goal this semester to save enough money to buy these... Yup... that will be pretty good and effective and worthwhile. *feels better* I'm too greedy sometimes... *whacks self*
And STACY will be back by the end of this week! :D Yay! And Sig is a UP student now! Yay! :D
Summer Ender?? T_T
I'm going to miss:
~the summer... so very badly.
~my cousins. Gone are the days of sleep-overs and late night talking.
~RO, but I'll definitely appreciate the deduction on my expenses. TAKE STONE! XD
~the many lazy sleep-filled blissful mornings.
~blogging. I never seem to find the time during the sem. T_T
~"my" anime. My current favorites have ended, and I can't watch during weekdays anymore.
~the TV. T_______T
~my summer project, which I didn't really have time for anyway. The Scrapbook.
~my friends and our get-togethers and gimmicks even more. T_T
~pretty much everything.
As hard as it was to begin the summer, it's even harder to see it end. T_T Grr... I don't want to go to school yet! ><

Wallowing...Today wasn't exactly as delightful as i hoped it would be. Sure, I was really really happy to see Tracy and Kimmy, but other than that, everything has just been going TOO wrong to be true.
My misfortune started VERY early this morning, when I had to leave the computer on all night to defrag it. So having slept at around 2, my dad woke me up at 6 to attend to the computer. I felt kinda sick, I usually do when I lack sleep.
Afterwards, my mom decided that I'd have to commute to Vigile's house carrying all the artifacts and a long roll of plastic all over the place. X_x Then the jeepney driver forgot to return my change, but I was too preoccupied to notice till later. Too make it worse, I didn't have much money, so I had to trek all the way to her house in the heat. So by then I was late and tired. -__-
And then at Vigile's, I forgot to bring my book of street signs, so we weren't able to make much to add to our project. Plus, we even found out later on that we accidentally interchanged certain parts of our project, so we had to redo it all over again. At some point Vigile even lost her temper about some geom stuff. *Sigh* The shallow things we geeks fight about. Hehehe...
And then Tracy calls and goes to tell me that her cellphone is busted and that we'd have a very hard time coordinating our rendezvous....
...and so when I was walking out of Vigile's subdivision to head to Sig's, it started to rain. -_- There were no tricycles, so I had to go walk in the drizzling rain. At least there was lightning. T_T I had tried to get my mom to fetch me, but all I ended up doing was wasting load for nothing. Cause our phone was busy (internet). Plus I had to leave Bong in Vigile's house. T_T
And then I got to Sig's, and then we had a hell of a lot of problems with RO and the new patches we were so looking forward to having. T___T This was possibly the most frustrating part of the day. In the end, we made Kimmy bored to death, left Vigile hanging on a very delayed promised visit, and Sig bothered with our requests, etc, with nothing to show for. We even had to give up watching FMA, Meteor Garden and Saiyuki Reload. T_T And we also didn't get the CDs anyway. T_T
I think Vigile even got all cranky on me on the phone. And poor Kimmy. T_T At least we were able to see the FF7 stuff. That was a big highlight. :D
And when we were finally gonna leave Sig's house, it started to rain really hard, so we couldn't go anywhere. Tracy said Vigile was mad at us already, and I think we were even already starting to bother Sig. There was a complication about where we'd eat dinner, eventually we forced Sig to have someone buy food to feed everyone. Such a bother. Sorry... T_T
And while we were waiting in Sig's room for the rain to subside, I even managed to sit on a damp part of her bed, getting my pants wet. Apparently there was a leak, so this misfortune was a shared one. Poor Sig though... and poor stuffed cat of Sig.
And then when we finally left the house, the road was flooding and we had to walk in the mud. -_- I wouldn't have minded, except for the fact that I was wearing my new rubber shoes. It would have gotten wet eventually, but that doesn't take away the hesitation and disappointment. Besides, wet rubber shoes = stinky rubber shoes. T_T
And then again, there were no tricycles. Eventually we got to Vigile's house where we were excitedly planning to watch a powerpoint presentation of Tracy's birthday pics with us. Unfortunately, we left the CD at Sig's. -__- We were so crestfallen. We even opted not to watch it at Sig's so we could watch it with Vigile's... but no such luck.
And then my mom got furious at me for going home so late, and then she suddenly said that I was stinky. X_x What a way to end the day. And she started lecturing me about so many things on the way home.
"You think just because you're friends that they'll tolerate you?"But possibly the real cherry on top of the icing that really froze over my day was something someone said to me. It made me feel really bothered and horrible... No, it's not the quote above, but those two together can really depress a person.
So to end this... I'm really sorry Tracy, Sig, Kimmy, Vigile, Bong, etc... T_T
BTW, any typos? Tell me ne?

Hectic Lifestyle... 0_0Waaah!! I've been struggling with such a busy schedule these days. Lots of errands, activities, obligations, clashing schedules, etc. So hard and bothersome. T___T Today i had to utter a BILLION sorry's to people just because of a schedule problem. But it's pretty much resolved now, more or less, or at least, I've done all I could.
Plus, my driving lessons are over now. I had night driving for my last lesson, on this moonless night. It was harder than I expected. >< Oh well... I just need a little more practice. X_x
And tomorrow, Tracy and I are gonna go over to Sig's to watch Full Metal Alchemist. :D Finally! Sig is also (hopefully) going to let us watch the ff7 PS3 preview. *drool drool* And hopefully we're able to drag Kimmy along. ^_______________^; I hope tracy brings a CD of her birthday pics.
And I'm getting so delayed in RO. X__X My poor good-looking characters. T_T Grey is even younger than Vigile's Liam, but sadly, guess who's doing better? X( And bth vigile and Tracy said that my low-rate char is ugly. T_T That's so MEAN!! ><

GMIK!!!Summer will end soon, sad... And i haven't been blogging much though I guess much has reasonably happened since last. ^^; Oh well.
I went out with my friends today and watched Kingdom of Heaven. I KIND OF liked it save for some parts, but I was a minority. -_- My other friends seemed to have somehow gotten sick or something during the movie, but it's their loss. (A monetary 100 peso loss at that. ^^;) But anyway, it was unusual, some part were *wince* weird(?)but I guess it was okay. (Or that may be just my bias for my lost money. ^^;)
Anyhow, I'm almost through with driving school, coming out not as hopeful and confident as the last entry... *erase erase* I'm starting to worry if I'll ever be good enough to get my license this year. Hopefuly. T___________T
And Sig and Vigile watched Full Metal Alchemist. T_T I don't seem to have time to do that!!! FF VII!!! Must finish you!!! X_x
Oh well, I'm starving, I realized I haven't eaten dinner yet, cause I ran out of money and forgot to eat when i got home. -_- Anyway, thanks Sig for the ice cream! :D And Kimmy for the macapuno tarts, and Tracy for the doughnuts and chips!. :D If i forgot anything, you have to forgive me... I'm hungry. ^_^
I hope stacy comes back home safely so we can go out again and relive our picture taking era!!! :D

Summer Rains
Vigile loves summer rains. I hate the warm temperatures that precede it though... But I like the low rumbling of the thunder, and the brief flashes of lightning. :D
Bianca and Sig are also gonna be enrolled in UP soon. I just hope CRS works for me this sem, I'd hate having to do everything manually just because I didn't submit that damn survey. I really want to be classmates with Sig! T_T
Anyway, American Idol ends next week. 0_0 I dunno, but I think something is going on between Anthony and Carrie. ;) But I kind of want Vonzell to win. *underdog bias*
Anyway, braces are indeed hellish... it's very hard to eat.
And Samurai 7 is ending soon. T_T Kuya Mikkie said it would have a sad ending pa naman. T__T And I remember that I really like Escaflowne...

True GeeK!Hmm... I think I'm going to have braces within this week. I say "I think" not because I'm not sure if I need it, because I really know I do, but because I'm not sure we can really afford it. T_T But anyhow, such discomfort (and possibly pain) is not really something I'm particularly keen on getting... Anyhow, right now both BERNICE and Bianca have braces on. France will get a pair too, I think. But in the event that I do have braces, I've decided that I'll eat a lot of the good stuff now, like chips and bread. Cause I know that I won't happily take to solid foods for a few days, maybe even weeks. :( Hehehe... And if i do manage to get braces, Bern says we'll all look so geeky, with the glasses to match. But it's not really like that, i think.
Geez... I'm rambling. Anyway, I'm now enrolled in driving school, and I've been watching Meteor Garden lately. I miss that show. :D
Plus~ I'm going to be an RO geek as well! @_@ I'm currently a sage, hoping to move on and become a professor soon. :D
And Vigile and I have apparently been working on a few geek club projects separately. I also managed to dig up the Phoenix Pendant's long lost edited Chapter 11 and 12, which I edited a bit more before sending to Sig. I hope she gets around to reading it. *pokes... hints... innocent smile*
Plus, I'm currently stuck between the pages of Brown's Angels and Demons. For all my geekiness, I read his acknowledgements to clarify certain questionable aspects of the novel, such as if the ambigrams are authentically of the Illuminati, after all, he did say all references to the Illuminati are factual, thus I was beginning to wonder if he actually stumbled upon the 5 legendary ambigrams. Turns out he didn't. I also wondered about his extensive knowledge on the inner workings of the Vatican, the Swiss Guard, and even the Conclave, which are apparently (unlike the ambigrams) actually trully factual. *sigh* A true geek at heart.

Rambling...Anyway, Tracy recently held her birthday celebration last May 7, in the effort to accomodate everyone's schedules. ^_^ There were complications, but in the end, everyone was able to turn up and we have a TON of pictures to prove it. (Speaking of pics, I think I'm either getting pretty good at taking them, or just very lucky with timing... *proud*)
Anyway, I was able to watch the episode I missed of Samurai 7 yesterday too. It was nice, as usual. *biased* And we happily had a chicken fest, with around 3 different types of chicken. It was just like our 1st/2nd? Christmas gathering. ^_^ Or is it just in celebration of Tracy's incredible love for Chicken? Hehehe... We even cooked fries to go with our KFC chicken. And even though we didn't touch the splendid cake, we were all so full by dinnertime. Speaking of the cake, we went romping around the city, commuting all the way to Shangrila with my sister just to buy it! 0_0 We even almost "lost" Bianca at the station, cause MRT during rush hour is so full, the door just closed on her. 0_0 And she's never ridden the MRT before, if i remember correctly. Good thing that that was one of the rare moments her cellphone was charged. Grabe, that girl doesn't know how to take care of her phone. We eventually got to the Mall, but being in foreign territory as it were, I was kind of overwhelmed at how far we reached. Good thing I have an "impeccable sense of direction" and Sig generously offered us a ride home, else we would have been riding a very crowded MRT with a ton of people jostling the glorious cake. 0_0 The horror...
I also started working on a new lay-out, with vigile helping out in the complicated HTML process. But its far from done. And Stacy had to leave early which was a shame, but as coincidence and good fortune would have it, I bumped into her in a Katipunan jeep, quite unexpectedly. :D Tracy has also flown off to Bohol, and I was incredibly pleased to report that she liked the CD i gave her. Hehehe... It was amusing, but almost everyone decided to give Tracy books for her birthday. Talk about lavish presents. Apart from the cake and books, she also recieved a hanging thingy from Selda, and a bracelet from Stacy which I found incredidbly nice. (It even started a sort-of fashion statement involving the belt hoops of our jeans. ^_^) As sig murmured while we were roaming around Edsa, "we must REALLY love Tracy..." ^_^
And anyway, I had a freakish dream lately, involving the trio having to go through hell and back in accordance to some secret tradition, Vatican, a certificate or document of come sort, white barong tagalogs (0_0;) and the new Pope. Far too creepy...
And have you noticed how warm it is lately? Who can stand the heat. XP
And BTW, I'm starting driving school next week, and I hope I can get my license by the end of this summer. *asa pa...* It'll be so cool!
And Sig has revived her SIMs 2 and has recreated our adopted family of 4 with our father Ron. New hairdos for everyone too... ^_^
And it actually rained the other night! ^_^ Honestly, the sound of thunder is getting foreign to me, but I have to admit that I still kind of like the rumbling sound. XD
And Vigile is SOOOOO hard to contact... I just might quit trying entirely. -_- And Stacy will be leaving soon.. T______T Keep safe, Trio mate!

I am a nocturnal fiend... I sleep in the wee hours of the morning when the cock begins to crow and rise when the sun is preparing to depart. Shame...
Insomia has been keeping me awake till around 3-4 am, and throughout this summer, I've been waking up during the afternoon, with the latest being 4 pm. Hmmm...
I said YUCK! about something to sig... and she said she'll never forget it. T-T
And Thank You Stacy for the scans. :D We really love your house too! ^_^
And Vigile visited me one day and we made a not-as-tasty-as-we-had-hoped Chocolate coffee drink. Hehehe... XD But it was fun, at least to me.
And France gave me a grad pic! And I'm trying to convince Bern to give me her prom pic. ^_^
Mom and dad arrive home today, and CRS is supposed to be up and running again, but it isn't.

Geeky.... and SO proud to be! Anyway, last Saturday, (after watching an episode of Clamp's Angelic Layer) I went to another publicity meeting for CE. They finished up assigning us into groups, to prep us newbies (or young-ER ones) to take over next year. 0_0 At some point, we had nothing to do but roam around while they tried to contact the KFC delivery service. So i went poking around the pile of games in that place. A Testament to My Geekiness. Guess what game I decided I wanted to play? The usual Scrable was unavailable, and I admit that I don't know how to play Monopoly, so I ended up with this game called Equalize. ^^; It's like scrable, but instead of letters, you get numbers and operation signs. Geek. So instead of forming words, you form equations. It looked interesting. :D Anyway, met up with a few Mifia adhoc people, too bad they didn't have the cards. Plus, the next Mafia meeting is set on May 7, uh-oh... Plus I found out that Bong and Von have the same BA 99.1 time. >< No fair!
Wala akong kasama! Btw, some pub people are planning to go watch Kingdom of Heaven. :D Saya!
Anyway, I was channel surfing, and I encountered this korea-novela called "Stained Glass". The lines the girl uttered were pretty, enough for me to pause. *shame shame* Too bad she uttered it to the guy who apparently didn't deserve it. Oh well... my relatives love that show, you see. ^_^ From what I can see, we Filipinos have talent, making pretty scripts and such, too bad we don't utilize our full potential. We continue to attach ourselves to foreign culture, believing them to be superior and the key to our own succes, without realizing that doing such actually puts us at a level far below superior. And although traces of our genius still somehow leak out of tiny windows and cracks, we neglect to notice them. Shame... I kind of want to watch Can this Be Love. :') According to some article I read about it, it was able to incorporate aspects of Filipino Pop culture, as well as the sad reality of our fondness for foriegn culture. Ironic that the leads should be played by actors who gained their popularity by being precisely that: evidence of our foreign 'idolatry'. But if they get are able to get these kinds of worthwhile messages through to the public anyway, then Bravo! for them. ^_^ *looks back at what I've just written* 0_0
Looks like I miss the old days with Stacy and Vigile and our geeky discussions. *sigh*
12:58 AM
Blogging Again, Finally! ^_^ I've really been neglecting my blog lately. Tsk, tsk... It's because my computer is SO slow it can't keep a trying person sane. @_@ Plus, I've been trying to use my internet card in moderation. ^^; Anyhow, considering the time I spent away from blogging, I kind of have a lot to say.... Prepare yourself. Hehehe...
My parents have taken off for their trip. Considering the amount of paranoia planted in me right now, I hope they get back safely! T_T
Anyway, Sig got into Linguistics!!! So a few days ago, I accompanied her to UP and we got her Official Certificate as a UP student. Imagine how Vigile shrieked at the sight of it. ^_^ My friends are so nice to have around. XD Anyway, I also got to meet Dwelly, and took a dozen pics of him for so that my camera could serve its higher purpose. XD
We had a nice afternoon with Selda and Stacy and Vigile as well. :D It was a nice get-together. We were all smiling and laughing. I miss Selda!!! Fellow Constantine fan!! XD Yay! Too bad we'll never get to see him on Idol again. I really thought he had the competition in the bag. It turns out he did, which was why he lost. X( Bianca did a little research, and somehow managed to come across a "Vote-for-the-worst" website, which is Anti-AI. It seeks to encourage people to vote for Scott Savol, and to boycott voting for the rockers, because of they believe that the producers and judges are already too biased. It a shame, voting against talent just so the show won't turn out well. >< Bad, bad choice... Poor Scott and Constantine. >< Voted out cause you're the best and kept cause your the worst, OUCH!
Tracy is planning something very special for her b-day. :) I hope we can ALL come! *pokes Selda, Stacy, Kimmy, Vigile, Sig*
And I've begun fixing up the antagonist quiz. It'll be up before the end of the summer, if i have my say in things. XD
Anime... Midori no Hibi is about to end, and I've become a sort-of Naruto and Samurai 7 fan. Love the fight scenes. <3 Anyway, Animax is going to show Escaflowne the movie this months, as well as the Jap version of Saiyuki reload. Thank Goodness! I thought I'd go crazy with the dialogue. I mean, the drawing was one thing, but if the dubbing is bad too, there's only so much one can take! >_<
And yesterday, I finally set foot on France's glorious house. <3 It was of magazine like beauty! *u* Like it shouldn't be lived in, but looked at instead! ^_^ Can't possibly describe it, but it's really nice there. But I've come to appreciate my simple bungalow home. Although it isn't anywhere as nice as her home, I've discovered a bunch of advantages, such as the fact that I don't have to face the hassle of going up and down the stairs to get things, and I get to see the people in my house more. ^_^ If we had more than one floor and our own rooms, we probably would have holed ourselves in self-proclaimed isolation, or something like that. ^_^ Not that it's happening to France's family. They all sleep in the same room, which we don't have to do, cause in our house, there's only too much space. ^_^
I know my family, we aren't really what you can call affectionate. Own rooms would spell distance, cause I doubt Bianca and Bernice would just come to my room for no apparent reason but to visit me. -_- Besides, I've realized that I find my home incredibly comfortable.
Anyway, I miss my Certeza cousins, and while we were in Blue Ridge (France's Subdivision) we came up with a nice idea. Time Capsule!!! ^_^ i think we should make one for the kada too. XD We intend to put letters for our future selves there, predictions about our jobs and the order in which we'll get married (guesses are that Cara's first ^_^), autograph book entries, wish lists, predictions, etc. And in about 20 years, we'll all get together to open it, and see if our predictions are correct, see how much we've changed and to re-acquaint our older selves with our 2005 selves. Fun ne? :D Perfect re-evaluation tool! ^_^ Bright-eyed ideals addressed to our future selves. Hehehe... ^_^
And btw, I watched xXx2: the next level. Bad movie. I didn't like it one bit. Even bernice said it was all just blown-up eye-candy. Imagine. We found the Matrix nice, mind you. So for her to say that, it must have been so obvious that the story was almost inexistent or really bad. X( Story-wise it sucks cause its too cliche to be true, and action scenes were too overblown, that most of them were done in very obvious and tasteless computer CGI. -_- Plus, there were also too many loop holes, convenient close calls, dumb mistakes, "duh' moments, and predictable outcomes for me to appreciate it. And worst of all... leave the lead guy and this supposed-to-be-tough girl alone for one second and some icky music starts and they do all sorts of tasteless flirting. In one such spot, they were in a garage and their companion stpes away for a few minutes, and he's started trying to take her clothes off, in the open room! >< And the fight scenes weren't even as good as I had hoped. Really, English 1 has had some profound effect on my opinion on American movies, but this one was worse without English 1! Tsk tsk... I could go on and on, but I know you guys have limits too (Vigile gets moody on me when I complain, for instance) so I'll stop there. I should have just suggested The Interpreter. -_- There were only 4 movies available there, and I'm watching Can this Be Love with my triomates, and Guess Who is I pressume a bit like My Boss' Daughter. At least the trailers were still fun. ^_^ But if you want to watch the movie anyways, go ahead. After all, it may be just me...
Anyway, as usual, sorry for my spelling and grammatical errors. Please forgive me. I'm trying to type fast so I don't forget anything, I may have skipped a bunch of them somewhere. ^_^; Just alert me so I can fix them.
Salamat!
