6:17 PM
Maan! I've been having the unluckiest week!!! First there was the exam, then followed the unluckiest thing that's happened to me since the start of this sem:
WALLET=STOLEN
AAaaaaarghh!!! I left it inside my bag, in the tambayan, with my other friends' things, secure that there was a LOT of people in the room. We went down for a bit, and then we came back to a shockingly empty room. The worst part was that my bag was weirdly wide open. Hmm.. Suspicious. A quick search proved that my wallet was missing. I called home to see if I left it, praying that I did, knowing that I didn't. *huhuhu* But it's gone. Gone. Argh..
It just so happens that THAT was the worst time for my wallet to get stolen. Unlike normal days when I'm usually left a pauper with almost no money in my possession, that day was one of the few and rare times that I actually had quite a lot of money in my wallet. Why? Cause I've been starving and depriving myself FOR WEEKS now just to save up the necessary amount to purchase the newest Harry Potter book. Arrgh! That book costs a lot! I had a little over 2 grand in my wallet, cause aside from those savings, I was also holding on to 'my first paycheck' (as I mentioned a few posts earlier). As I was told, traditionally, you shouldn't spend your first paycheck on yourself, hence I was still in the process of figuring out what to do with it. XP Maan. I rarely keep money in my wallet, and the rare times that I do, it gets stolen?? Plus, to add a little more sugar over everything, Bianca gave me some money that morning to buy her something. She didn't have change, so she gave me a rather big bill, the excess of which I placed in my wallet. So now, I have to pay her for her money, doubling my loss to an extent. >_<
CURSE THAT WRETCHED THIEF!!!!
Gee, weeks worth of money and hard hard sacrifice leads to enriching someone of obviously no morals and decency? That is soooo wrong. Am I a bad person? I mean, I always give back money that doesn't belong to me. Just last Monday, I paid a trike 6 bucks and got a change of 8. 0_o I returned the change immediately. Also, I found some money on the counter in the BA coop, and immediately gave it to the coop ladies, instead of pocketing it though they didn't know it was there. They thanked me profusely, as if they didn't think it was normal.
Hmm.. The first time I actually attempted to buy a Harry Potter book, this happens. Why is it that the only time I actually try to save for something, and I was really looking forward to it, disaster decides to strike? Does someone out there in this world hate me that much? *huhu*
Since I was left with but a few coins, I had to resort to asking people to treat me out for food. The SHAME~ (As some of you may know, I'm not very fond of asking people such a thing, and occasionally, I decline such offers when made with no reason, even when made by friends. If not, I choose the cheapest possible alternative, so as not to burden the person.) But since I'm already experiencing financial loss, not to mention that I'm now also deeply in debt, incurring more debt seems a little distasteful. And since I feel so grossly cheated, I've temporarily suspended the "cheapest alternative" rule. *waaah!* Desperation drives hard bargains with little choices. :(
What was inside my wallet anyway? Aside from a lot of HARD EARNED cash, there was my driver's license, my Laking National Card, my National Discount card, my (and vigile's and tracy's) Timezone Powercard, my favorite kada pic, my cousin's address in Chicago, my ID pics, my Greenwich card, my G video card, the little religious relic Stacy gave me from her trip in Europe (tama?), some Pub memorabilia, my Belay card (a requisite for wall climbing), 4 unused internet cards, 2 Azta gift checks, my Harry Potter reservatoin receipt, and a lot of other things I can hardly remember. T_T And National has a policy that without the receipt, they won't value the reservation. That's another 500 down the drain, unless I can somehow convince them to waive the policy. I can't be the only person in the world to have lost his/her receipt. >_<
And to think most thieves just take the cash and throw the wallet and all its contents away. Please! People pray that my wallet finds its way back to me! Or at least those cards, and driver's license! X(
MARK THIS DAY:
JULY 19, 2007, as the unluckiest day I've had so far this year. (Come to think about it, my cellphone that got stolen 2 years ago was also stolen around this time, 1st sem.)
~~~~
And have I mentioned that my phone is totally busted? I went for intervals without service cause my phone (as I previously mentioned) keeps rejecting my SIM. I found out the same day, July 19.
~~~
And my misfortune doesn't end there. The same day my wallet was stolen, I woke up for the first time in my life with a really really bad headache. I rarely have headaches, let alone bad ones, so its a big deal for me. And of all mornings, I also had to write a paper on an article I had yet to read, and cram it all before my 10am class. Bad ominous start ne?
Then when I got to school, to my shock, our powerpoint for our 10am report was still unfinished. We were Group 1 and likely to be up first, so we had to scramble around for a laptop. When we finally found one, it didn't have internet, and our ppt was uploaded. -_- So we had to find another and get it. And the borrowed PC had the audacity to keep hanging and stalling while we were panicking, since my teacher had arrived. Urgh. We must have been quite a sight. -_-
~~~
And today, my bad luck continues, this morning, my dog actually escaped the house, and ran out of our open gate. 0__0 I was screaming my lungs out to get her to come back, but she must have found the freedom exhilarating since she was running freely for the first time and not heeding our calls. She actually ran down the road as fast as she could, much to my panic, and even some of the next door construction workers joined the chase. Considering how small she is, and how muscular her build, I really was worried she'd escape. We eventually grabbed her back, and though our helper hugged her in relief, I gave her a big spank for misbehaving. Grr...
~~~
And finally, as I was on my way home, to my shock, the jeepney station transferred YET AGAIN. For two days, I had to walk round the block just to get to where they were parked near Latasia, the vegetarian eating place, and then today, upon getting there, I found out that they were back in their usual spot, which was quite a distance away. And to make it worse, while I walked sulkily down the road, it starts to rain. -_- I didn't have an umbrella, plus I was wearing black, the worst combination for a humid wet afternoon. Here's the whole route. My regular route is the light blue one, and the new one is the darker blue. Imagine, those boxes are school buildings. -_-
I finally got to the jeep after getting a bit wet, and of course, the jeep was all stuffy and humid. While the jeep was making its trip, it stopped raining. Much to my relief. The ride wasn't very comfortable, due to the humid weather, and my foot got stepped on really hard at one point, though accidentally. >_<
And then, just as I was about to get down from the jeep, the rain started again. -_- As if the rain stopped to wait for me to get out of the jeep again so that it could wet me. -_- I walked home as fast as I could in the rain, relying on the CE jacket as my only cover. To cheer myself up, I took some pictures. :) (I know it doesn't seem like it's raining, but it is. And my phone though faulty, did its job okay, protected as it was from the rain with its crystal case. ^^)
Then when I got home, brown-out. Perfect.
~~~
There's something wrong with my blog! It keeps deleting spaces between paragraphs! X( Forgive the typos, I'm in a very rash and irritable mood right now. X(
Another imminent good-bye.
6:01 PM
My cellphone has finally declared that it's over. It has been rejecting my SIM card for days now. Tsk tsk.. Must have been a painful break-up between them.
Grr... Of all the times.. argh. My cellphone is damaged for good. It's been damaged for quite some time now, occasionally hanging, corrupting files, blacking out, not wanting to charge, etc., etc. It's really quite painful, and the repair people say there really is something irreparably wrong with its circuitry, so I can't have it fixed anymore. T_T
So I've prepared myself for the good-bye. I've saved all my messages, phonebook and images on the PC, and deleted the said messages and images. (the phonebook will have to wait till the very last minute.) It's a bit sad, at the same time annoying. Never again will I buy another second hand phone. :(
I keep forgetting..
5:30 PM
I've been keeping a mental note to blog this for some time now, but oatmeal brains are never really good for recall. Anyway, to those of you who still don't know, Bernice is in the hospital due to dengue. And lola still hasn't been released cause apparently, she has had another stroke. Her seventh, i think, if we've kept track properly. Those are the updates. *sigh*
Oatmeal-for-brains
6:32 PM
July 18, 2007
Haaaaaaaay! My Auditing exam is finally over and, as usual, my brain feels like oatmeal. XP
It was a super extensive THEORY exam, that required my batch to read about around 20 chapters in a few days (Actually, its 17 chapters+1 'short-hundred-page-with-small-font' book). @_@ The exam was 170 numbers long too, so by the time I was halfway through rechecking it, I had a moment's panic as I realized that I could no longer understand what I was reading and what my answers meant. Seriously. The height of my info-digestion-curve/ learning-curve was reached, tsk, tsk. Imagine, I was reading nonstop from 3pm till past midnight, then I woke up at 6thirty (which I have not done in a VERY long time) and continued reading till 1pm, right before my exam. And I actually started reading this weekend, and still, I had to forgo reading about half the assignment, just to keep sane. (Besides, it wasn't within my capacity to read. >_<) And what happened during the exam? Apparently, some labored hard enough to be able to read as much as they could, at the expense of precious, precious sleep. Before the exam, I heard someone seriously tell the person sitting behind him to (in a very tired voice) "kick the chair if you see me fall asleep, cause I haven't had sleep at all.." And I actually saw someone sleeping during the exam. 0_0 I noticed it cause my teacher had to nudge her awake. He asked her a question (which I pressume was "Are you done?") to which she shook her head and after which continued answering her paper again. Interesting. Even the most GC people were unable to read all the chapters. I used to wonder why the upper batches seemed so tense before an Auditing exam, and now I know. :p
~~~~~~~~
I haven't watched Harry Potter yet. But at least I get my book this weekend. *triumphant laugh*
~~~~~~~~
And I discovered some time ago that I have classmates who regularly read the Bible. And by regularly, I mean, about everyday. I actually have a classmate who brings the Bible to school everyday. Beat that! I was amazed, considering I studied in a Catholic school almost all my life. Shame on me I guess..
~~~~~~~~
And I forgot to mention last week... Some JPIANs gave me a birthday card last Thurs. :P It's super belated, but it really cheered me up after the 116 grades came out. At first I thought they got the date totally wrong, which I found amusing and funny, but it turns out they knew it was super late but still gave me a card anyway, so it was actually pretty touching. Aww..
Impressively handmade, though I don't get the silver thingy. XD
~~~~~~~~
And if, once again, I have not been dutifully replying to text messages and what not, it's cause I have no load left. :p
Another exam, another entry.
10:13 PM
July 13, 2007
Baad, baad Gen. Procrastinator and Crammer. *bow*
My professor said that crammers subconsciously begin working based on their knowledge of their own capacity and what they can handle. For instance, a person who can come up with a decent 5-page paper in a very short span of time probably won't start working till the last possible hour before s/he has to. On the other hand, if a person generate ideas like a snail, and writes these down even slower, then his/her idea of cramming might be to start about a whole day before submission. Something like that... And a person isn't usually aware of this phenomenon, although of course none of us are in the extremes of such slowness/fastness that the difference is likely unnoticeable.
I cram. But given my slow reading speed, I believe I always overestimate myself. :p
Anyway, somethings I neglected to mention in my previous novel-of-an entry:
1. I have received my first paycheck (more than 2 weeks ago?)! I think. Woohoo!! Except don't expect a dinner from me yet, cause my paycheck is about 3% of Vigile's. So I don't think I can treat you guys out, except for isaw or fishballs, without drink. :p With that in mind, maybe it isn't really my first paycheck, and I'll just treat you guys out when I really get a job and a real paycheck. hehe..
Details details.. I was hired by Stacy's Tracy (a.k.a. her older sis) who's currently working for ABSCBN as head stylist. She needed someone to tally all her accounts, and receipts, etc. to get them reimbursed or liquidated or something, which I soon discovered was a pretty messy and tedious job. Though not that hard, it can get tiring. :p It turns out they needed me to tally double the amount of what Stacy told me on the phone, but then again, they paid me more than I expected, considering I expected lower than minimum wage, i think. (Again, :p.)
That's the place... and the only pic I took. Out of propriety, it seemed wrong to sneak out pics of the set. ^^;
So there I was working in the art department/dressing room (on set, naks!) with people.. *ahem ahem* dressing. 0_0 It was a
fanta-serye, so the costumes were interesting. Plus the people there were really quite accommodating. (
UP-clickish sila. XD) And I got to roam the set (everything was covered in blue screen, haha!), and I got to see some actors (though I don't know their names). Plus I got to practice using the calculator with my left-hand, and I got a little spare cash. :D The first day took 12 hours? That was 10am to 10pm, if i recall correctly. Overall, it was really quite an interesting experience. :)
2. I downloaded (on whim) the movie
The English Patient. I haven't watched it yet, but since the book was pretty good, I decided to give the movie a try. Keep you posted! (Hopefully.)
3. I was just wondering, has anyone ever noticed the fact that the words bitchy and nasty seemed to have, i dunno, reversed meanings? Nasty used to describe a mean and rude thing, while bitchy used to be the more sexual term. Now, nasty has a sexual connotation, and bitchy is the term used for mean-ness. I think. @_@
And for more recent news:
I tried a vector experiment. Not very pleased with it, but its ok. :p
And Stacy sent me a link to the store
Baby the Stars Shine Bright. Apparently, it really exists, and both Stacy and I found somethings we liked in their website. XD
And I've finally found time to crack open the book I'm currently reading. It has reached it's climax, and I almost (but not quite) shrieked at some revelation. XD Things are really speeding up and going REALLY well. *nods head* It makes me grin just remembering it. Less than 50 pages till the end.. though I kind of wished it was longer. ^_^
Seeing the partial results of the 116 exam, I can't say I'm optimistic about passing. Too bad I flunked the easiest exam of the semester. But then again, more than half of us did, I think. And at least I got a number that only 5 or less answered correctly. The answer was probably too damn simple nobody thought it was possible. My one ray of teeny-tiny glory. ^^;
And I've been living in "tag-hirap mode" recently. All cause I have to save up for the following:
1. a new phone.. mine's pretty close to conking out. X(
2. harry potter 7. I'd never imagined that such an item would EVER make it into my to-buy list.
3. digi cam. Bianca's grand plan. But I wanna share. :p
AH! New Kwak pic! Our doggy reminds us of a dragon.
Grawr!
And that's it. I'm sleepy, plus I have to start studying. I'm beginning to doubt if i'll ever finish reading my Auditing materials. I'm so dead.
Quizzes are so addicting...
10:16 AM
July 12, 2007
I clicked on a link in Lev's blog... and so on.. I tried about 30 or so quizzes, but of course I didn't post or finish most of them, cause that would be too much. Grr... I always waste time on quizzes. T_T

Announcement:
10:07 AM
A murder took place yesterday. The criminal has been confirmed as Accounting, a.k.a. BA 116, victim also identified as Gen, blog owner. Exact time is unknown, but presumably the murder took place within 1thirty to 6thirty yesterday, July 11, 2007. Medics are laboring to get a heartbeat, but it is again presumed that despite any success of revival, the shock of the victim's exam results just might kill her again. Such results were announced "bukas" on an obscure text message sent at 1am. It is unknown whether tomorrow means today, or Friday. We will be on the look-out for both days.
~~~~~~
Back to reality... Yes, the exam took that long. I originally planned to watch Harry Potter that evening, but as the exam ended so late, my intended companions went on ahead without me. Though to give them credit, they did call and text. :p So I went home, with a newly formed plan of "partying" all night long. I originally planned to text some of the kada to join me in some late night ramblings, say in TriNoma, till good sense knocked the idea out of me. So next I intended to watch death note or nodame all night long.. till I fell asleep. -__- Three plans foiled. I slept at 8thirty, i think (the earliest I've slept in the past n years). Then I woke up at about 8thirty. Hehe.. I guess I was that tired. I usually sleep a certain number of hours, after which I wake up, but today was different, given my lack of sleep the previous days and the energy-draining effect of that damn-hard exam. And surprise surprise! My only morning class teacher sent a message that we'd be having no classes today! Yay! And tomorrow, I'm free all morning as well (teacher announced no classes)! Maybe I should go watch Harry Potter now. :p Or tomorrow morning.
More to come...
8:46 AM
Kala ninyo makakatakas kayo? May superduper long blog entry pa akong parating! XD Hindi ko lang magawa ngayon kasi natutulog si Twinky sa lap ko at di ko tuloy maabot yung "list". Next time, next time..
Tas may exam ako ulit this wednesday! Ang saya talaga! Pero ok lang, kasi Harry Potter 7 na next week, tas at least tapos na yung accounting exam at marami pang subject na walang class. Hehe..
It's got a heartbeat. *Phew*

Yay! Our computer has been reformatted and we've finished going through all the routine installations of programs like Firefox, and whatnot. The PC's finally virus free again! :D In case you haven't heard, our computer has been suffering from all sorts of maladies, including a printer virus that makes our printer print only smiley faces (and this was proven to be a virus, since reformatting cured this problem right off), web pages that have to be left overnight to load (this was a true killer X_x), among other problems. We had a hell of a hard time. But it's all fixed. WOohoo!!
And so I'm blogging. Finally. Prepare yourself for another novel of an entry, cause I've got a LOT of things to rant and write about. (I have a list. :p) Unfortunately though, I neglected to write down exactly when these soon-to-be-mentioned instances took place, due to the fact that I was under a strange state of nervous restlessness, the circumstances of which I will later explain. Though in retrospect, I think it COULD have been this exact restlessness that prompted me to write the list in the first place. @_@ Whee~
tinatamad ako.. muuust goo oon...
Academically disinclined? Hwaah~ I'm more than 12 chapters delayed in my readings. And I'm going crazy. Why do most of my subjects have to be so reading-intensive? Argh. I was never the type to devote all my waking hours to studying text books. I AM a procrastinator, and it's proving to be a sure fire instrument of my academic doom. Gawd. My attention span has always been pretty short. It's been the diagnosed cause (diagnosed by a professor no less) of my extremely slow reading speed, whether with fictional or academic books, and the more I study, the more my mind FEELS that it has to wander. At least I'm still competitive enough to not want to go through the utter humiliation of failure. Must hang on! Grr.. Must...
Teacher FeatureIn a previous post I mentioned that I was happy with some professors of mine, and it turns out that some are just as bad. In the spectrum of horrible to great, I'd say both ends were covered. T_T It's a shame, cause I think these bad teachers are most likely very good people at heart, they just either don't communicate well, or get too easily rattled. I've never been quite as confused with any of my previous subjects before. My professor clearly doesn't read the book before hand (cause s/he teaches things which WE, the students, have to point out is totally different from the book, in which case the topic is left hanging till the next meeting. But we still have to go on, so we do, but with wide gaping HOLES in our lecture. And this happened 3 consecutive times already). And considering the lecture lasts 3 hours each period, our learning curves are most likely reduced to nothing. Bleh.
But before I leave the topic, back to the cool professor. It turns out that he is also a Palanca awardee for a short story (gasp!), and he worked for Peugeot here in the Philippines. He's currently editor(-in-chief?) of some PC magazine, and is currently asking for student-contributed articles, with a very attractive article fee of course. At syempre kaming mga pobre ay interesado naman. ;)
Cousin NewsFor the cousins, lola has been in the hospital for over almost 2weeks now, due to Pneumonia. Hopefully she'll be able to get out soon. We haven't visited her, cause I have a cold, and the doctor advises against such visits, cause lola might catch a cold and get worse. :(
And France, while walking around a mall(?) was approached by some person and given a calling card. She was being picked-out by some talent scout. Haha.. The person wanted to be her "agent". We laughed and teased her about it. A lot. Though considering Angel Locsin was discovered the same way (grocery, talent scout, etc.), it was funny anyway. And she wouldn't admit it too. I only found out through Rob. ;p
Driving in AugustMy mom, tired of driving around when we need a car, has declared that she is sick and tired of it and has imposed a new rule: Either we start driving in August or we commute all the time, no matter how late, no matter the weather, etc. So i've picked up the driving book and am once again learning the forgotten basics. 1 month left! >_<>:P I'm don't want to come home with a badly damaged car ever again, and besides, I like big cars. (My dream car when I was a kid used to be a pajero. ^^; And surprise! That became Vigile's car.) But then Bern wants those small puny cars that (I just bet) would easily get crushed in an accident. Like a Jazz or some of those weird looking variety of cars. Plus she claims she should get the car rights most of the time due to the fact that she's in Ateneo. *hmph* That hardly seems fair. It's like getting penalized for studying in UP. :(
Org-gasmorgAnd once again, I had to face yet another appointment for an org I wasn't sure I could do much for. Gaack.
And some person I really dislike, who I thought would be graduating and leaving me at peace (finally!), has NOT yet graduated. Grr.. After he put me through org-work-hell last sem?? Using his "thesis and graduating status" as an excuse?!? Rawr.. >:S ~Though it turns out I'm not the only one irritated with him.
And it annoys me that I insisted on being a member of this particular committee, to avoid a certain committee, only to be dumped back into the committee I tried so hard to get away from. :( Can't they get a clue?
What annoys me even more are the hypocrites who act so high and mighty, trying to impress others, only to turn back on their word when these people aren't around. Some guy *grr* was acting just like so during last sem's interview week, saying stuff like: "
Bubuhayin natin 'tong org natin! Magiging active tayo! Ipapakita natin na iba tayo.. blah blah..
Magpromise ka ha. Ano promise? Promise?" and then making me promise (cause aside from the officers, I was the only other person in the room) that I would be active and I'd do my best to support the org and whatnot, like
he intended to do. Now, I didn't want to make a promise I wasn't sure I could keep, so I ended up being annoyed and embarrassed (though I said yes, and am currently keeping the promise as best as I can), while he ended up looking like a hero, though in the end, he didn't keep his own da*n promise.
Dinamay pa ako! Nagpapasikat lang sya sa interviewer nya! Guy pa naman din yun. (Wonder if he's gay?) Grr.. Hypocrite.
Pyramid Schemes
I've been receiving calls from "US based companies looking for hard-working people to hire part-time." Except mysteriously, they won't tell you what it's about, where they got your name, what the company does, etc. You just have to attend this orientation, and they really have a ton of reasons to prevent you from saying no. Suspicious. So I did a little poking about, and it turns out Bong did some prior poking about (cause the person has the contact numbers of my entire MC batch, so I thought to ask Bong) and she found that Kevin, the CE President, actually attended one of the orientations. Pyramid schemes. Tsk tsk. Annoying. Twice they called me in the middle of class. And I've learned not to answer. It's not only wasting my time, but it's also annoying me excessively. One caller actually implied that I was LAZY. Ha! *indignant* Of course I wouldn't want to attend some orientation I know nothing about on my birthday! And they had the nerve to try to make me feel bad about it. And they keep calling, up until yesterday! >:(
Harry PotterI actually reserved a Harry Potter book~! It's not like me, I know. And I thought I was done with Harry Potter too, I mean, I was getting really sick of the previous books, and annoyed at some character portrayals (Sig might remember some rants of mine from the past), but then, after reading book 6, which I read for the first time just last May, my interest was rekindled. It may have something to do with the book's revival of interest in (and re-build-up of) the Draco character, (who as some of you may recall, has been one of my 2 favorite characters in Harry Potter since book 1 ~ though I was disappointed by the portrayal of the movie Draco, they made him too puny to be Harry's rival, I mean, he was scared of Hermione?!?)
Well, since it's supposedly the last and most important book in the series anyway, I figured that I'd read it along with everyone else and save myself the misery of those spoilers. Waiting for the paperback editions, though cheaper, can be disadvantageous. Considering I knew who would die before I even read the last 2 books, which was a terrible and anti-climactic way to enjoy any book, I'd rather get shocked this last time around.
And for those of you who are shocked that I'm willing to bear the burden of such an expense, don't be. I'm supposed to get a discount for reserving early, then I intend to sell the book as soon as I'm finished. (The discount will hopefully help me liquidate.) Besides, the hardbound edition won't match our already 6 paperback HP books. :p Boo spoilers!
Sports, here I come!Gawd! My back pains are coming back. Just when I thought that maybe my fall last May wasn't very serious, my back started hurting in the exact same spot again. We had the doctor check it, and he simply recommended exercise to relieve whatever muscle is giving me pain. My spine wasn't injured, so it must be the muscle. ~_~ Unfortunately, I find jogging and walking way too boring. I swear I can't for the life of me figure out how people enjoy doing such things. I really can't. And to think that some people do it for fun! Why? Grr.. It's just my luck I guess. And since such boringness keeps me from walking/jogging regularly, the few times that I actually try to do it, I feel my lungs and heart will explode from exertion. I dunno if I have trouble breathing, or its just an unbelievable level of unfitness. How embarrassing. But if I enjoy what I'm doing.. it's my only hope. T_T
Merchandise!Calling out to all hard gay fans out there! Look! I found merchandise for you! If you want it, I can go buy it for you. Just text me asap. It's a bit expensive, P120, but then again, it's I guess pretty rare in the Philippines. :p
HG yung nasa cap nya.. tas naka one leg forward sya with both arms up, in case masyadong malabo yung pic. ^^;

Eiga-saiI was able to watch 2 of the Eiga-sai movies. Yay! And I got to see some of the kada again! Stacy, Sig and Vigile. The movies were nice, and I had a fun time watching them. Plus they were free. XD Some orgmates *cough* went to watch "The Stars Converge" on the last day of the festival in UP, and they didn't even invite anyone, so Levs, Ivan, Aileen and I resorted to watching the Nana live action movie again. I was reminded of how cute a movie it was. At first I was comparing Nana to Kamikaze Girls, then Kamikaze Girls to Nana, but in the end, I guess they aren't really similar, save for the fact that it's about 2 strikingly different girls forming an unlikely friendship. ^^;
Coffee Rush
You're probably wondering how I was able to come up with such a long list to blog about. It was all due to some free hot coffee and a freezing morning classroom. I was tempted into taking a cup of coffee from our org sponsor, Nescafe, despite the fact that I haven't had a cup of coffee for over a year. It was a small cup, but the effects lasted the whole day. I was so restless, I kept fidgeting and trying to supress the urge to shake my hands and tap my feet. I couldn't pay attentionto my professors either. Thus the list. Tsk. I never learn. I was so hyper that day, I remember jumping up and down when someone bought 2 bars of my Choco Mucho. XD
URgh... My eyes hurt. It's almost 4 am, so I won't go on with this list. (Keeping blog lists are actually tedious, so I gave up the idea ages ago, until the coffee rush that it.) I'll continue next time. @_@ And forgive the typos and grammatical errors, I don't have any brains left to go through the entry to recheck. Plus sleepy writers are bound to come up with sloppy articles. sleepy sloppy sleepy sloppy~ ZZZzzzzz...
PS: Happy Birthday Francois!
I finally got to the jeep after getting a bit wet, and of course, the jeep was all stuffy and humid. While the jeep was making its trip, it stopped raining. Much to my relief. The ride wasn't very comfortable, due to the humid weather, and my foot got stepped on really hard at one point, though accidentally. >_< 
Impressively handmade, though I don't get the silver thingy. XD
That's the place... and the only pic I took. Out of propriety, it seemed wrong to sneak out pics of the set. ^^;
And Stacy sent me a link to the store Baby the Stars Shine Bright. Apparently, it really exists, and both Stacy and I found somethings we liked in their website. XD
Grawr!
A murder took place yesterday. The criminal has been confirmed as Accounting, a.k.a. BA 116, victim also identified as Gen, blog owner. Exact time is unknown, but presumably the murder took place within 1thirty to 6thirty yesterday, July 11, 2007. Medics are laboring to get a heartbeat, but it is again presumed that despite any success of revival, the shock of the victim's exam results just might kill her again. Such results were announced "bukas" on an obscure text message sent at 1am. It is unknown whether tomorrow means today, or Friday. We will be on the look-out for both days.
