Plus...
I forgot to mention that I got a flu and my money was stolen during my long vacation in Bulacan. T_T
I also got all my grades already, and they turned out better than I expected. Thank goodness!!! Too bad my sembreak is about to end. u_u

Back From Vacation!I spent the last couple of days (since Saturday) away from home. games, food and bonding...(?) ^_^ Here's the barest skeletal synopsis of the last few days.
Planning Sem
I really like my committe. ^^ Go PubComm!! We have reconginzed and proven the existence of "PubHumor" and the Mafia adhoc has grown much much larger. Also, we got to acquaint ourselves with the org's new members, got to enjoy the fun games the IC prepared (yeah! War war war!!! XD) and we were able to stuff ourselves with tons of food, living in what my roommates call: "
buhay baboy". It's funny. ^^ And my group won the Matrix Simulation and the org has now extensively recognized Bong's acting talent and Vigile's dancing skills. Imagine, Bong was just doing some bangag adlib of a presentation and Vigile was even commiting mistakes of all sorts, but in the end, BOng got a best actress award and Vigile got the most praise and awe among the other performers (even more than the leader of CE's BACBACAN cheerdance and the group's choreographer. Imagine!!! And i'm sure of this cause I was innocently sitting in the audience, hearing each and every comment. ^^)
Vigile and I also got to bond a little under (what a great coincidence!) really really beautiful fireworks. It was so extravagant, I actually pitied the person who'd have to spend for it. It was so pretty, and for some weird reason, apparently we were the only 2 people in the org who were able to watch it. 0_o
We spent 4 days and 3 nights in Bulacan, and we slept at 4:30 for the slogan session on the first night, woke up at 7(?) And then on the second night we slept at around 3:30 for the Matrix Simulation (and my group was the earliest already I think) and woke up at around 7(?) and for the last night.... we slept at around 3 playing Mafia and woke up at 9am. Sorry about the question marks, mornings were pretty much a blur to me. ^^ Simply, we didn't really sleep.
On our way home, we dropped by SM north, and afterwards, we went to school to chack our grades in BA and Stat. Damn! Our stat grades our late!!!
And it's sad to realize that so many people won't be around for the next planning sem... T_______T
Merville
Yum!! More food. @_@ Food... Well, Merville has always been a place of good food. And on the last night (because apparently the cook got infected by my colds -_-) we were treated out to Yellow Cab. Saya!!! We were also given bags and bags of chips!!! YEah!!
And we also played a ton of games. Well... technically, it was just one game, but it was a TON of rounds. For some weird reason, we got unexplainably addicted to Kimmy's Monopoly. It's amazing, cause none of us (i think, except probably for Kimmy) have never played or finished a monopoly game before. But this time, we stayed awake till 4 am just playing it. It's fun, especially with tag teams and without Dwelly. XD
We also bonded a little. Cause someone *cough cough* proposed we play a truth game. Well... it was pretty fun and kind of interesting. And I wager someone feels greatly relieved that we played it and that something is off her chest. ^^ /ok
AND WE WATCHED ADVENT CHILDREN!!! I DUNNO WHY, BUT I REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKE IT!!! I know i keep on saying it, but whoever thought of you-know-what is really good. ^^ Although I guess I do have to admit that it's mostly fighting scenes and you have to be familiar with the game. But that's ok. It was fun.
And Sig told us a little story from a nice book that I've been trying to get my hands on since several months ago... XD
And I just saw a kind of freaky anime on TV... something about a teacher and a student falling in love with each other. Except the teacher is an older woman, and the guy is a smallr and younger kid. Grabe! They were holding hands and the guy was only about as tall as her shoulder. -__-
And so I'm back home, ready to catch some Z's and finally rest. Hmm... Vigile was actually sleeping the whole day yesterday. -_- Lucky that I wasn't as tired. I got to play an extra game of monopoly. XD
~NERD/GEEK MODE~ Footnote on Monopoly: Vigile and I shouldn't be put against each other in Monopoly. We apparently keep fighting, disliking each other, keep talking edge-ily, arguing, getting pissed and all.... Cause for some bizarre reason, we end up buying up each others property, and we go through hell trying to haggle with one another. And this is the part that we can get along with everyone but each other. So we practically claw each others guts out trying to trade porperties which of course can't have the same value. -___- The reason? I see things in terms of future potential benefit (goodwill) and she sees things in terms of future forgone benefit (opportunity cost). Our BA and Econ training really clach in this respect. ^^ But hey! In real life one really pays for goodwill when a company is sold right??? Humph! (Peace Vigile! Although I can see your point as I've had some econ training.)
Sorry for the typos... I've been spotting and correcting a lot of mistakes, and it's probably due to the fact that I'm tired and excited to post. Sorry!

October 19, 2005
kwento!HaAAaay... my dad said i looked like I was getting fat. Tsk, tsk... I should start swimming and playing tennis or shooting or walking or something... -_-
And a tragedy has happened!!! Sig's Honey and CLover set has been deleted of the face of the planet!!! X( And just when I was so excited to go watch it too... T_T I was bugging Vigile to watch it with me last monday. But alas, its gone now. X(
Speaking of gone, my only Anne McCaffrey book before Dragonflight is MISSING!!! XC Drat! And it would have been nice to have it alongside Dragon Quest, because some of its events coincide, even to the littlest dialogue. X(
And my cellphone, just as I predicted, can no longer be fixed. It's board thinggy is busted, and replacing that would cost 80% of a new phone. Tsk...
Oh well... can't say I'm depressed about it. The phone was starting to drive me crazy already! X(
And our housemaid can't seem to recognize me. Weird huh?
And once again, my Stat teacher missed a set meeting. Typical... If only it weren't so important... >:(
And my Kas teacher has NOT yet collected my 10 page paper from her pigeon hole!! GAhh!!!
Baka hindi na mahabol sa grades ko yun!!! NOOoooOOO!!! After I worked long hours on that paper, it better be worth at least something!! *sob*
And yeah... I passed BA! what a relief!!! And I'm hanging by a fingernail to the slim chance of being a CS this sem. SUper slim chance, but a chance nonetheless! Thank you Geog!! XD
*sob*~h o n e y & c l o v e r~*sob*

See here!Picture!
Coolness!
WAaAaAaH!!! I finished the Fruits Basket series last night! Finally!!! After having it in my closet since... I don't remember. ^^ It was SOO nice!!! TuT I'm so happy I got the chance to watch it. Its the type of movie you'd love to have around when you suddenly feel depressed during the school year. Hmm... Maybe I should get myself a copy of the series. And while I'm at it, I might as well get a Honey and Clover set as well... If only I had the money, huh?
Speaking of such issues... My parents decided that they'd only get me a new phone if I get a 1.5 average. -__- Yeah right! No chance in hell! Which is a terrible, terrible SHAME! This sem just wasn't in my favor. Anyway, we might just get my phone fixed, but since my phone is kind of obsolete.. er..
I also got my Dragonflight today! I was happily jumping about, YaY!!! And I'm about to finish Dragonquest soon. I really like my favorite characters! And I think I'm starting to like more characters too! ^^ Just like in Fruits Basket. ^^ I have a LOT of favorites there. :D
Speaking of books... I have an aunt who's going to give us a couple of Neil Gaiman books! Lucky! ^___^
And I finally got around to cleaning my room and keeping away my things. It took me more than a morning to accomplish it, but at least it's done and out of my hair. ^_^ For once, things have gotten orderly around here. :D
And I spent a happy afternoon jamming with a few Pub people. Saya! One of my co-chairs is a genius at piano. Seriously. Hum a song for her and she'll play it within seconds as though she had a real score and months of practice. It was SO amazing! All of us kept going on and on about it. ^_^ I want to learn how to play that way someday. Or even at least half as good. u___U
BTW, I'm going to get my Stat grades on Wednesday!!! ARGH!! X__x
Yup... that's it. Hope you like the new lay-out. And even though my blog entries aren't written to match the theme, well... the tribute is there still. ^^ Watch out for an even newer lay-out soon ok? It's almost december you see. Hehehe... ^^

Uh... Yeah?Went Ice Skating with my friends for Vigile's late bday celebration. ;) It was fun!!! Tiring, but incredibly fun. ^^ The trio all know how to ice skate too! And we 3 learned from the old rollerblades days. Saya~! Anyway, I told my mom about it when she picked me up. Here's how the conversation went. ^^
G: We went skating a while ago... (etc, etc.)
Mom: Really? Do you even KNOW how to skate?
G: Uh... Yeah. (*smug confident eye-rolling kind of tone -->and hey! it is one of those few things i can be proud of I may not be good but at least I know how!)
M: That's good. So you didn't fall?
G: *pause* uh... yeah...? (*hesitant sheepish tone) Actually I did fall...
*slight introspective pause*
G: hmmm... I think i was the only one in the group to actually even fall. 0_0
M: So you're friends must be really good. :D (if knowing how is not a prereq for not falling, then being good at skating must be the prereq -- or some trail of thought to that extent)
G: hehehe... yeah... (*amused)
And so there it is. ^_____^
Anyway, Bianca has been reading HP5 lately, and she's driving me crazy with her spoilers. Someday I'm seriously gonna get back at her! *wrings fist in air*
And I might get a doogy from vigile. ^____^ But I still don't have my dad's permission. Ehe... BUt it would be nice. :)
And I learned something about my friends lately. Apparently we took some special lesson at some point in our life. Bong took Ice Skating, Vigile: gymnastics, Sig: ballet, Stacy: hawaiian... me: (?) swimming? But seriously, these revelations were a shock to me. A pleasant one. Mind you.
And I'm looking forward to Merville!!! Speaking of which, Vigile slept at Tracy's lately. *
parang ang saya ni Vigile! She's been able to sleep in almost everyone's house na! Adventure! ^^ And because she slept over, Stacy and I had somewhat of a slightly serious talk. *sigh* My life IS a little directionless.... And I don't seem to be insync (sp?) with college rhythm. Well at least not yet...
And last Saturday, imagine I had 4 OVERLAPPING appointments to deal with. All pretty much required and important. *sigh* Luckily, our kind EIC cancelled.. *Thank the Lord!* And I had to skip the other two, afterall, it's not my fault that the *p*i*s meeting suddenly changed schedules! And the other... well... let's just say quite honeslty that I couldn't afford to go anyway. ($$$) So there...
And last saturday night I went on a food raid! (term for food trip held in the comfort of one's home) I rummaged for all the food I wanted to eat in the ref and ate as much as I wanted! XD (Moon cake! Muffins! Peanuts! Pandesal with cream cheese and another with strawberry jam! Cookies! Other food! Yum!) The rationale behind this mindless stomach over brain activity: I was gonna have my lower braces attached the following day. If I don't eat (or taste) these now, by the time I can, they're gonna be finished! Waaah! And Moon Cake isn't a very common food item in this house too! So I took the liberty of feeding myself like a dragon in Pern... hehehe...
And it turns out that I would get brackets, but not the wire through them. -_- So right now I am feeling no amount of pain whatsoever. I will on monday, but that still leaves me with aching teeth for the planning sem and merville. X( Oh well...
And have I mentioned that my printed copy of our kada collage pic got destroyed? Ice tea erased Vigile's face away, and other parts. X__X The first one also got ruined a tiny little bit, around the part of my
entire face, but the rest of you are safe. X__X *sigh*
Gastos magpa-reprint!Speaking of pics... ^___^ After we went ice skating, we started eating pretzels, and since we were having such a pleasant time and we didn't have money left for studio pics, we decided to take pictures with a digi cam. So there we were, happily snapping away, not minding the few people staring at us... eventually, when we were done, we took a good look around only to find that we were standing beside... (get this!!!!) a sign that says taking pictures using digital and celphone cameras were prohibited in that area. Ooopss... Beside it no less! @_@
And for Sig has the complete H&C! We'll prolly watch it sometime during the sem break, unless Vince monopolizes the computer with his school work. And they said the actor playing Takemoto looked gay in the live action version!!! TnT The insult!!!
And lastly, my phone is really, really busted. And I'm running out of load because of it. X_x
*looks around* hmm... my things are still in shambles after the sem. I really should take the time to fix it. :p
Hey... ever notice that it's hard to keep track of dates when you have nothing to set your days apart like subjects or what not?
As usual... forgive the typos... ^_^

Nice Day... After such a long time.
Wahhh! For the first time in a long time, I woke up without a slightest care in the world. I slept as soon as I felt like it and woke up without being rattled into some tight schedue. I'm starting to enjoy the sembreak. Although I didn't feel that yesterday was my last day of class, fortunately, I'm feeling a little bit happier about today. Today, the weather is a mix of pleasant rumbling and (for one) a cool temperature. The perfect weather for loafing around at home. ^_^ Too bad I still have to write an entire term paper, but I'm still feeling good about even that. The only damper I have is STAT... get the bloodiness of the tragedy? >_<
But what a pleasant way to start the sem! With skies overcast and the weather lazy, I happily made, my list of things I intend to do this sem, and then I happened to acquire Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight. *joy* And I now have time to actually read these books. TuT
Yesterday, by committee went bowling in SM North. We were ramdomly assigned to different groups (although I'm pretty sure Lyka made sure Bong, Vigile and I were in different groups. ^^) and for some bizarre reason, I happened to end up with really good players. No kidding. Carlet and i were the only ones who weren't really good, but than again, she did strike out at least once, while my first 4 throws were gutters (I thik I was the only one with a ZERO frame, and note that it lasted for 2 turns). -_- Talk about ruining a great track record. It was a little embarrassing since my group WAS leading and I was pulling them down. *sob... kicks #22* Luckily, my luck took a sharp turn for the better, and suddenly, (for my last frame) I got consecutive 2 strikes! (Since when has THAT ever happened?) Thank goodness! I wasn't too far an outlier in the end. :D *proud*
And i think I'm close to accomplishing my new year's goal! whoohooo!
And my phone is unbelievably busted. I can't recieve calls from people, and it often rejects my SIM card. >< I think I'm gonna start scouting around for a new one. It's noce to know that I waited as long as my phone was no longer functional before i bought a new one. My teacher once bluntly stated that people buy phones to keep up with fads, and rarely does one wait for his/her phone to actually conk out before replacing it. Well, it's either mine gets stolen or breaks down anyway. I'm not very lucky with phones...
Hmm... anything else? Oh, yeah! I've run out of money already, cause of the TBS and the Induction Ball, and since my parents don't give allowance over the sembreak, I'm kinda broke. ^^
*whistles...*

October 05, 2005
At ngayong araw na ito...(Today...)1. I am now officially a member of FOUR student organizations in UP!!! Woohoo!!! After so many hardships... TuT
2. I had (hopefully) my last Stat class (given that I don't fail the sem), which is pretty probable considering both the finals and the third exam will take place a day and two days after after my Accounting Exam and during my Kas Exam.
3. I had to take a personal food-tripping session for dinner to take my mind off the Acctg Exam I just had... I spent almost double my usual bill in Jollibee. I actually had the largest bill in class. 0_0 (Note: Without the desserts)
4. I realized that we had two kittens in the house!!! <(='.'=<)~
5. I have a small pint of Blueberry cheese cake ice cream and half a gallon of FIC ice cream in the fridge! (those two are some of my most favorite ice cream flavors! ^^)
6. I felt glad that the last 2 people I gave gifts to really really appreciated my gifts. TuT Although someone has yet to see part 2 *cough*CD*cough*
7. I confirmed that I didn't do so well in my 2nd Kas exam (hence, the finals)
8. I decided to "liwaliw" for the rest of today, despite the fact that I have no right to do so... (I dare not even discuss my schedule) and am consequently stealing the chance to mope around the computer. Finally...
9. I was thinking... I think I gained 2 secret enemies during this sem. Hehehe... Just like Vigile.
10. I am very pleased with my enlistment schedule. ^_^ *prays I get it just as nice as it is*
11. I will know if I should grin or frown at my grades in econ once I get them within this hour.
12. I praise the Lord that not all my subjects in UP have finals. *thank you Lord!*
13. I am already thinking when Vigile will treat us to Shakey's! Yeah!
14. I am waiting to get an e-mail from my cousins and
15. I am going to decide whether to burn myself a CD or not.
16. I am going to decide when I am going to put a limit to my spending, cause as of today, I've already spent my entire week's allowance. Imagine! 0_0
17. I will (as a result of #16) think of what to buy myself when I turn 20.
18. I was SOOO shocked to type those two numbers and even more shocked to have them sink into realization. X_x Even saying them sounds evil and wrong! >_<
19. I will erase from my memory that next year a whole bunch of us will turn *0. T_T
20. the vendors of the AS walk left UP for their sembreak and Corpse Bride is now showing.
21. I can't help but pine away for the sem break.
And so it ends with 21... ^_________^ Hehehe...
but s**t... I'll turn tw**t* next year? Have I calculated wrong? How come I only realized that now? And now that I've realized it, I wish I hadn't... It's so depressing... And I don't even really know why... Maybe I was just shocked to realize that I've lived for so long and so many times have gone past already, and I didn't really even feel it... and so many things have slipped away as well... memories, past habits, past fancies, etc., etc. So sad.... T____T*NOTE: This is what happens when a brain gets fried from a few straight hours of BA 99.1 followed by Stat 101. Be warned.
Weird... while I was typing this... I think I somehow ended up watching the last episode of Otogi Zoshi. (my first episode at that too... -_-)
