New Year's Resolution (v2005)
I never had the chance to make the “New Year’s Resolution” entry. Every blogger has to have that entry on new year’s resolutions, be it an actual list or the lack thereof. In my case, I have decided on changing something about myself.
Yes, I have chosen to leave my heartless ways in 2004 and become a love-letter-writing-thank-you-saying-curly-hair-donning-skirt-wearing-personlized-holiday-greeting-sending-girl-next-door-looking
sweet little angel.
But before I adopted this new candy-girl attitude,
Mae and I finished up all the evil that we had in us and said every bad thing we wanted to say over the phone. I don’t want to remember that, it’s too, well, evil. *shuts eyes and shakes head*. Then just when we got to the topic of carbonara (don’t ask me why, it just came up),
Paolo came to our house to drop off his Christmas gift for me and Fatima. Paolo is such a nice guy, but I would not elaborate because
Mae’s got lots of “Paolo paragraphs” in her blog. He even offered to give us some of the extra kwitis that they had for New Year’s Eve, but since my dad is the ultimate square that he swore off all kinds of pyrotechnics, he didn’t accept them. So I just gave the kwitis to Lolo. Goodness to the 10000th power, my lolo is so weird. He is not in anyway affected by the paputok that he had. It’s like this: he would light up one of those triangle things and drop it beside him, and when it explodes (is that the right term?) it’s like he didn’t hear anything. Weird. Of course, the Francos had the greatest fireworks. My dad (being the great accountant that he is) estimated the cost of their fireworks to not going below 20,000. I wouldn’t doubt that, though, because not only are they rich, they also take their New year’s eve celebration very, very seriously.
Anyway, back to my being sweet… I sent personalized New year greetings to people. Yes, none of those forwarded messages (not that I have anything against those, in fact, there was even this one super funny message about polka dots and coins, squares and bills and checks…
or those send-to-many messages (I have nothing against those either, because I do that every Christmas). Awww… I felt so, uhmm, sweet? Yeah, sweet.Ü
In line with my new year’s resolution, I will get my hair permed. Not anytime soon though because I don’t have any more money left… dang. I will also refurbish my wardrobe and add in some pastels to go with the new “look”. And that’s not happening anytime soon either. If you have any more suggestions on how I could make myself look more friendly and approachable, please do not hesitate to comment.Ü as for the attitude involved in this “sweetening” project, I think I can handle it ok.
I also have some more “resolutions” that I’ve thought of every night since the beginning of 2005. Since resolution is a synonym of impossibility, the items on my list are things that are not under my control and are those that are least likely to happen.
1) I will not get pimples anymore.
2) I will not have eyebags or dark circles when I sleep late.
3) I will not get dysmenorrhea (spelling?).
4) I will not spend money on useless things (yes, even my purchasing power is beyond my control)
5) I will not have even a single bad hair day in 2005.
6) I will never get zero credit, both for my cellphone and my wallet.
7) I will grow my boobs.
8) I will never have to worry about the PC hanging.
9) I will pass everything in due time.
10) I will go to UP. (I really wish this is not a bad omen, because I included UP in my list of impossibilities. Please, no!!! I really, really want this bad.)
So I guess that’s it. In 4 days, I will find out if I have secured my future in Ateneo. If not, well there’s always UP (yeah right.) Pray for me and my emotional stability. Disappointment can shatter me to my old, mean ways.
And I went to SM megamall yesterday (yesss… improvement) with Mae, Fatima, Migo and Paolo to watch
So Happy Together. I’ll write about it tomorrow, but what I can tell you now is that it’s a lot better than
Sigaw.

RETREAT, INTRAMS and everything else in between
ohay. retreat namin nung monday at tuesday. una palang bad omen na:
aba, ang bus, matapos kaming i-threaten ni Miss Roman na iiwan kahit a fraction of a minute ma-late, dumating
2, as in T-W-O friggin hours after official departure time dumating. so di ba, musta naman ang pagkasira ng schedule.
so dahil wala kaming magawa ng NiggaG, nagwala nalang kami. hehe. ayon, sumasayaw, kumakanta, naglalakad nagpatintero, pero mostly sumayaw. masaya rin yung first part (yung part na nagiintay kami sa *insert bad word here* na bus...)
nung pinalipat kami sa college lanai, akala namin pang-front lang, para lang hindi kami magmukang tanga sa brenan drive, waiting for nothing. buti nalang, after namin makagawa ng double axle on solid ground, sumayaw ng "bright lights" ni billy crawford at magbasa ng mga palanca, dumating na rin ang bus. ayos. so ayon, settled na kami. ang buddy ko ay si
Clara. maya maya eh, may biglang amoy tae. wahaha. si Mitch pala, naka-apak ng tae. funneh. pero nung nasanay na ang aming mga ilong, di na namin napansin.
tapos nag-stop-over kami sa Shell (wait, i forget if it's shell, caltex or petron) sa south super highway. we ate breakfast at McDo, pero yung ibang classmates namin ate at Pancake house. aba, magastos. tapos ang yabang namin ni Clara, secret nalang kung anong ginawa namin sa strangers from that stop-over.Ü
when we got to the place, we were super excited. it was sooooo nice. the place was just breath-takingly beautiful. batdenagen... as always, may masamang katumbas ang magandang bagay. major, as in
major strict nila. may fine lahat! putek, school jr. ba. pero ayos lang. di nalang namin pinansin.
tapos the food was, well, bad. sige na nga, not good nalang. i mean eat-able naman siya, not entirely disgusting. but i guess we were just expecting more, dahil last year, the food was just great.
the sessions were, well, boring. sorry Mr. Retreat Master!!! i was just so bored. but i realized how much in love i am with 4-1. yes, i
love you guys. and i don't say that often. not if i don't mean it.Ü
the most touching part i think was the "alone-time" we had. we were at the "chapel on the hill", the most beautifully immaculate chapel i've ever been to. i actually want to get married there. sobra. major ganda niya... it's too small for a wedding though. anyway, enough of that wedding thing. it was so nice and i felt so quiet for the first time in years. even if i could hear murmurs, i was just so quiet. i don't know how to explain it. i was just, well, quiet.
wait, i know my title says something about the intrams, but i can't go on... sobrang taeng tae na ako. major. speaking of which, nag-tae-marathon nga pala kami sa batangas. ewan. ang sarap tumae don eh.

guilty!!!
ohay. for the first time in years, i felt guilty about being mean to a lower batch member.
feeling ko ang sama ko dahil naiyak yung isa... tapos nung nalaman ko, lalo ko siyang tinuya dahil nga iyakin siya. OM... nakakaguilty. that girl is scarred for life. haha. di naman siguro. siguro mas scarred yung mga sinabihan naming mataba, pangit, oily at kung anuano pang panunuya. hindi ako proud ah. nagguilty lang ako at gusto ko silang batiin hanggang maging super friends na kami at gawin ko na silang ganap na babae sa extreme make-over. sobra lang. i want to give them a make-over. the package is very promising! i mean, ok naman sila eh, not entirely helpless. with a few twitches here and there, they could be certified heartthrobs. and no, i don't mean heartthrob as in what they are now to girls like them, but to boys, you know, from other exclusive schools, for boys that is. yoko na. ngingitian ko talaga yun. musta naman kasi ang pantitrip namin dun sa alex. simula palang ng school year markado na siya samin. ewan kung bakit. siguro ang angas lang niya or something. but now na napaiyak na namin siya, i think we've gone far enough at heto ako, nagguilty. pero hindi ako nagguilty sa panggago namin sa ibang pink batch at fans ng yellow batch players. eh gago naman talaga sila eh. langyang epal yang pink batch na yan. pa-cute. shusme lang ah. hmph. wag na nga. ang loser naman nila eh. moving on...
yoko na palang mag-move on. tinatamad na akong mag-isip. next time nalang yung blow-by-blow account ng mga nangyari nung intrams.Ü

dalaga na si abe
oh yes. dalaga na siya. at dahil diyan, nagpa-unat na siya ng buhok.
ultimate talaga ang party ni abe!!! tiba-tiba kami sa food at labooms (at boys, pwede na rin. hehe).
so ito ang mga nangyari (main idea lang. i don't want to elaborate):
→ nalabooms ang mga tao (tsiko on the loose)
→ nag-go for the gold kami ni Pam (haha... tusication)
→ nag-switch golds kami (haha... tusication once more)
→ tinarayan ko si feeling hot drummerboy
→ kumain ako ng sobrang daming pasta at lechon at
revel bars
→ inagawan ko ng mic ang vocalist ng band at kumanta ng ultimate song:
My Boo
→ si ia at si iya. hehe.
→ Pam S': White Chicks (finally) and Super Size me (kinabukasan na toh, malamang)
marami pang nangyari na hindi ko na pwedeng ilagay dito, kaya itong mga ayus-ayos lang ang tinype ko.
onga pala, musta naman ang 24/7 naming pagsasama ng friends ko noh. ultimate eh, from Monday to Suday. hihi. buti nalang gusto ko sila, kundi baka na-coma na ako ngayon. ohay. bye.

Make me feel pretty...
haha. what an insecure title. i just feel so unpretty these past few days because, well i am. and no, i am not fishing for squeezed out compliments because it's true. I have pimples, pimplets, twinzit, chinzit and semi-hard areas on my face that would soon become full-fledged acne. oh the horror!!! everyone's been noticing it. my mom, gorj, ayla, 4-1, even Dino (ayla's friend who now, after riding two jeeps with, is also my friend). when we were talking about my
problem, he said, "oo nga 'no. nung sa jeep pino pa yung kutis mo eh." rawr. maybe because i'm PMS-ing... i always get pimples when i'm PMS-ing. and now i am being burdened by my menstruation like the plague of the bloody river in the Bible (if you're my friend, you'll know what i mean).
my current YM status is:
grow up if you can. rawr. hating babies.
if you're my friend and we like backstabbing together, you'd know what i mean.
gawd. i just hate, hate whiners. i hate people who pretend to be weak just to get much wanted attention and affection from other people. you know what should be done to people like that? they should be locked up, high in a sound-proof tower so we can't hear them whining about how painful their stomach is, how heavy their bag is, how much they need rest from their "stressful" life (which is, in truth, a mere cover-up for a lack of a decent social life). i hate people who think that being weak (both physically and emotionally) is cute. nothing's more shallow than that mentality. i just wish they could grow up and act like people blessed with working body parts and put them to use. i do not tolerate people like that. i do not give them special treatment. you may think i'm evil, but i put them in difficult situations and make them feel bad about their puny insecure selves. i will not be swerved by their fake cries for help.
i will not help. i will not treat them like a baby and handle their emotions with care because just like everyone living in this sad world, they'll have to put up with everything, every little painful detail in their human lives.
you may think you're being cute, but really, you're just being unbearably annoying. fix yourself.
i've been raring to vent this all out since me and my backstabbing partner did not get to talk about this earlier.
now to good news (albeit old). i got my letter of admission to Ateneo today. it was so beautiful. haha. i felt like rory receiving her harvard acceptance letter. but ateneo isn't harvard and it is not my dream school. i really, really want to go to UP.
University of the Philippines. i was told the results will be out next week. i really wish to pass, or to just get in through whatever backdoor i could use. but please pray that i get accepted to my dream course,
BS Psychology.
WARNING: WHEN THE UPCAT RESULTS COME OUT, SEE IF I PASS FIRST BEFORE TALKING TO ME. IN THE EVENT THAT I DON'T (GOD FORBID), DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TALK TO ME. I WILL BE UNTOUCHABLE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
kidding. or i wish i am kidding. right now, all i'm praying for (of course besides getting accepted to UP) is that i accept whatever God wills to give me. i know He has greater plans for me and i pray that i won't be too stubborn and proud to bend to His will.

loving this song
since my "currently reading" thing doesn't work, ito nalang ang title ko... sobrang aliw ng song na to. ang ganda ng tono. le lung... i'm at Pam's eh. so maiikli lang ito mga bez.
"Anything But Ordinary"
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

i just NEED to blog
i don't know. i just feel like i need to blog... kasi naman. parang ultimate dami ng nangyari pero wala akong masabi...
anyway, yung pinakarecent, ayoko na pag-usapan. haha.
mabalik nung wednesday.... when i read my entry i cannot believe i didn't make mention of *Marco once.
not even once. maybe because i was so consumed with all my skin problems. by the way, things are looking
UP (hi
JB!), my pimples disappeared one by one. unfortunately, this chinzit that i have been anticipating just came out. and i can tell it's gonna be big.
anyway, back to *Marco... this guy is teddy's friend and we (i.e. my fan,
Kaira and I) were just completely adoring him at McDo. he has the finest skin... i mean it was just so smooth. haha. he was so flawless. he was the ultimate heartthrob material. too bad he's just a sophomore. haha. anyway...
i also attended our xavier soiree. in all fairness... ok ok naman sila. they weren't as conio as i thought. heck, they didn't even speak english.
ok, suddenly i don't feel like blogging anymore.
this is my picture with CurlyCara... tinB and i did her hair last soiree. i curled her hair and tin tied it into a half-pony.
Happy Prom! haha. joke lang. she was really pretty though.

ewan
haha. i don't know how i'm feeling today... ako ay
steady lang... grabeh, super benta sakin yang term na yan. i've been using it non-stop since i got it from
leb's blog.
steady lang ang food...
steady lang ako...
steady lang ang quiz...
steady lang ang relationship ko kay ganito ganyan...
steady lang ang electric fan... (weh, that was just dead on corny. i'm slowly developing the stroker syndrome. goodness, JB's thing is highly contagious)
anyway, since sobrang tagal ni abe mag-online, blog nalang ako...
kanina lang we had our choral fest senior division eliminations... ayos lang kami. steady. pero great... haha. musta naman ang humility... pero sa totoo lang, i am really proud of what we've done. win or lose... win, eh di ayos. great kami. lose, eh di sisihin ang lamig ng science cai, or ang init ng ulo ni miss boots, or ang thing with SA... haha. forever
BITTER!!! (tunog pam s, yung talagang high-pitched-give-it-your-all)
onga pala, that thing with SA...
kasi ganito yon... wag na nga. haha. pambitin eh. kasi naman noh, ultimate sh*t. hay. wag na baka kumalat pa, masuspend pako ng di oras. yoko nga noh... sayang naman ang pagiging exemplary behavior awardee ko. (nyek. di maka-get-over, super last year pa yon ah, at isang quarter lang. hihi)
ano pa nga ba... ayon. nasabi ko na ba yung soiree? o basta may soiree kami. ayos ayos lang. intsik boys on the loose everywhere. malamang xavier eh...
grabe, tinatamad na ako. wag na nga.

it's GREAT to be part of a GREAT class
hay... i just feel super great to be with
FOUR ONE. i cannot imagine myself elsewhere. i belong here.
and that's not just because:
we were songfest senior division champions...
we are fourth year choral fest first runner-up...
haha. musta naman ang humility. hindi... i just want to express how proud i am of my class. besides, blog ko to, ba't ba?! hehe.
anyway... i love IV-1 because we rock. haha. labo. basta.
super great lang ng feeling na kahit na wala na akong pakialam sa school, may dahilan pa rin ako para pumasok...
na kahit na naiinis na ako sa mga tao sa paligid ko, there are 40 people who feel the same and are ready to back me up...
na i can be myself, (and that's an annoying lot) and fit in just right...
na pwede akong makikain or makitulog or makitae kahit saan man sa metro manila...
na meron akong kasamang umikot-ikot sa field kapag mahangin at hindi nagagalit sakin pag gusto ko na bumitaw kasi masakit na ang braso ko...
na may mga taong nakakatiis at nakakarelate sa vanity ko...
SOBRANG SARAP LANG NA MAY KASAMA AKONG MAGING PAPANSIN.
at hindi pa ito ang aking graduation message ohay? meron pang mas mahaba at mas deep.
onga pala... we had a "crepe party" today... super sarap ng crepe and may i just say na kahit na super sarap niya, nasusuka na ako sa dami ng kinain ko. nagluto ako ng wrapper! ang perfect nga ng batter namin ni Bea eh... tapos ng strain din ako ng tuna... basta ganon. hay. ang saya talaga. BV nga lang ang &%#@&)&^! na boyfriend ni Bri. *#&@.. sobra lang. BF! (bitch fit for all you poor people who haven't seen white chicks... super bagay sa kanya to no, bitch fit. coz he's a he-bitch. sobra lang)

long weekend
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE PLEASE!
friday: crepe party nga.
saturday: cotillion practice. partner ko yung perry kasi apparently i'm the tallest among girls (screw glynel and her "short" taste in friends) and he is tallest among the boys. it went ok. i am not a dancer so you could just guess what ok means. anyway, there was spaghetti and it was all good.
sunday: om. di ako nakasimba. kasi natulog ako at di na ako nagising in time for the 6 mass. the 7 something mass is too late naman for me to go to alone. diba? oh well, i cannot justify what i've done (or what i haven't done).
monday: i found my old casette tapes. i listened to my 12-year-old self sing "kiss me" by six pence none richer. so cute. haha. my voice was cute. i sounded like, well, a 12-year-old. i'd like to think i sound better now. i also listened to my steps tape (yep, that british one-hit-wonder group). i am amazed by how consistent i am with my taste. my favorite song off the album then is still my favorite now. gawd am i secretly cheezy.
i hate DOMs from whothehellknowswhere foreign countries. i am disgusted by them. ewwww. it's just disgusting. NO ONE CALLS ME SWEETY. not even my mom, my dad or my favorite teacher. (wait, i don't have one). ewwwwww to the highest, highest power.
i can't wait to go back to school and celebrate our
victory (resounding and full like the "victory" in our piece). haha. i cannot get over it. shoot me. Pacita promised to buy us something. i don't know what it is yet, but i really, really wish it'd be a cup of chocolate mousse.
oh yeah, i'm getting addicted to that thing. i just cannot get enough!!!!!!!! why did i ever have to discover that culinary wonder! now i'm suffering from mini-stop's delivery incompetence and lack of supply. if anyone knows the recipe for this thing, please, please, please email it to me. i will forever be indebted to you.
