DIGGING FOR YOU

I am desperate. I have been sleeping right after sunrise for weeks now -- talk about taking advantage of the break. I've been lying awake for an hour now, staring into nothingness. My laptop, I already stashed away thinking that it will help me gain back, what is now foreign to me, "normal". I am now using cel in making this entry. I put my iPod on shuffle. A game that I usually play. I've gone mental, forgive me. Another half hour has passed and my player has been playing 2 of 5787. I'm amusing myself with a scene on my mind. A music video in which Chad Murray -- "Michael" has been scap-d since we got together in 2009 (it's 2010) -- and I star in. "Perfect Grave" by Social Order. A bit too whiney for my taste but at least I get to be with Chaddie.

Ew. I've gone mental.

YOUR SHIP IS HIGH

You know the saying, whatever it is that you do, have, feel, and all the possible verbs you can think of on New Year's Day, you will innately possess all throughout the year? I scheduled myself -- even if I'm on break, and I'm the type of person who'd take advantage of ANY break doing whatever -- to start doing some school work. Walang ka-bibohan involved. FYI: my blockmates are way ahead of schedule, but in my defense... NOTHING. OK. I just got lazy and I think I'm losing my "drive". SO... I started with my planner, which I claimed from Starbucks, 2 weeks after the promo started (thanks to school, Starbucks has had more than a few drinks per Pol.Eco. student). Here's to creativity all year round! Not bad, eh? It's kind of festive on the eyes. These are just magazine cut-outs of what I intend to stand up for (verbally), especially on the month of January. My mission, as is Hilary Duff's, END HUNGER.

I'm trying to look for a decent video of Flickerstick's "Smile" on Youtube. FAILED. It's been stuck in my head for awhile now (I haven't listened to Flickerstick in months that I decided to amp my iPod). What's good about them is their variety of genres (from alternative rock to pop) and they lyrics to their songs (well, you can just make up your own "meaning", talk about being true-blooded artists, letting their audience decipher the underlying meanings of their music).

Okay. That's it for now. I'm hungry. BAAAH.

Cherrios Papitos! 

2009

I just had 7 Hereford Sausages, fresh out of the can and now I'm dizzy (due to the oil intake). Before anything else, I just wanna wish my two friends, Triccie Baquiran and Angela Villavicencio, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2009, let's start the year with a good laugh. I got this from my cousin's Multiply site. I edited the photo to make it the real deal. KUNG SINO KA MAN, MAHIYA KA! HA HA HA HA!

I AM LAUGHING MY BRAINS OFF AS I TYPE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

BEFORE NEW YEAR'S...

I WANNA SAY SOMETHING PLEASANT...

FUCK YOU ALL.

POVERTY ON CHRISTMAS DAY

I just finished working my through this album in multiply. I just got the photos that my dad took a few hours ago. 

Here are some of the photos. Imagine seeing them up close.

CLICK, 'COZ IT'S WORTH IT

I wrote about Christmas Day in Quezon (entitled: UNTITLED). I didn't have the photos with me before. I uploaded them now for everyone to see. Nakakaiyak.

It's in my facebook, so no worries about having to reveal your identity in viewing. I just want you to see. CLICK HERE.

DON'T RUB IT EEN

Ib and I were supposed to hang out with Franco and JB at Four by Force, which is a cool place to drink and chill with friends, by the way (located at Granada St. (?), near the parols). I don't mean to rub this "een", Ib, if ever you're reading this. She lost her wallet with 5,000 in it. I just travelled to Marikina (with Tatang, of course). Fun night with the Badet. Just get ready for the emotional blog entry in the latter part, I am just thankful for our friendship. BADET FOREVER.

Marcos Highway seems never ending, especially on the way back to my place. Christmas lights along the way were only but a few. Does that symbolize how lonesome people are this Christmas, especially all the single ladies? (Put a ring on it). WEH.

There.

Don't rub it "een". Never mind the people who forget about the past. It is an act of cowardice, these people would only get items on sale in a super market, like canned goods. People who choose to do otherwise will get good stuff in Bergdorf's and Barney's.

Here's another thought.

When people say, "we know each other all too well"... Does it mean knowing each other really well or just choosing to believe that you actually know each other. It's a battle between knowing each other in moments of hue and beyond that.

All these are what we talked about. Sort of a sum-up.

Cheerios!

UNTITLED

On Christmas Eve, the whole family feasted on food that could last us for a week and handed out gifts wrapped in pretty gift wrapping paper. There were no carolers outside, considering it was 12 midnight but we could hear the children lining up.

Christmas in Mauban will always and forever be FUN, plus some other MIXED EMOTIONS to complete the baggage. Since 1988, the Lim family has been giving a one-time dole outs to people who are not so blessed in life. An apple, an ABL shipping shirt, and money (they started with P10 in 1988 and escalated—a new word in my vocab, I intend to use this in everyday conversations, get ready IPE!—to P50 this year). Almost 2,600 people—children, grandparents, and parents, lined up outside our house this year for toys, old clothes and toys, an apple, P50, an ABL (credit: Albert B. Lim, my Kong-kong) shipping or a Skippy shirt for the little ones, which is truly bongga (the Skippy shirts, I mean)! Kidding aside, these kids will work their way through the crowd, fight danger even—climbing up the pointed rails of our home in sheer desperation just to get what, fifty-bucks. While I was busy, giving plastics to the kids whose smell I wouldn’t usually let pass (thanks to my colds, I got absolved from it, but that’s not my point), it got me thinking how much pride parents, especially fathers would have to put down while watching their hopeful children accept these things, when in truth, (or just what I know of) they should be the one providing these things. I mean, in the world that I know, or choose to know, these are just things that are handed to us, these things are complained about, “just 50 pesos? Anong bibilin ko, candy?” or “ayoko yan, hindi branded!”

Reality bites. Hard. And as much of a cliché the saying is, it is true. Go to Mauban on holidays. Hear the children cry in agony because others are stepping on their feet. See the grandparents faint because of the stampede that the children caused.

The gates do not open until 8:00 am.

BC CHRISTMAS PARTY

The best Christmas Party ever! People were down with alcohol--thanks to Sober Club. Thank you, one and all. I love you! (Photo credit: Original photos form Shao and the doodles are by me using Apple's Paintbrush)

START A NEW FASHION

Wear me with attitude, one that will last 'til next season. I am vintage, for a lifetime and beyond.

But sometimes, we need a time out. Just don't treat me like a worn-out overalls you use when painting the roof, one that you take out of your attic once a year.

PACK UP AND GO

Yes, I wanna pack up and go (not Hanson's Get Up and Go). I've no inkling as to what holds this packing and leaving bonanza, but all I know is I want my own apartment and have a hot roommate. Okay, STOP.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Have you gone Christmas shopping already? I know I did. And more? Sure.

BC Christmas party later. 

Cherrios!

P.S.

Senseless. My deepest apologies.

BLACK LISTED BY SHAI DELA MERCED

Gorgeous dress by Shai Dela Merced. The next big thing, as Karryl puts it. This was shot in DLS-CSB, S.D.A. Building. Good thing we had a free cut in IPE!

FIRST TIME

I think it's the first time, at least this sem, that I slept at 11:00pm and woke up at EXACTLY 4:20 am by 3 alarm clocks, which I thought was impossible for me to do. I've never woken up by an alarm clock EVER. So, it's a first, literally. Okay, I have to read.

THE HAPPENINGS

I have no time to update this, um, nonsensical blog, but here are some photos to make up for the time loss. 

GIRLS, I LOVE YOU

Bella (BEL-YA), where is M?

BESTFRIENDS FOREVER AND EVER!

GALING LANG NI FRED

I will upload some more photos.

Cherrios, Papitos!

ONE MAN'S TRASH IS STILL HIS TREASURE

Okay, not the best but hey, I TRIED. I was trying to figure out what to do for my creative shot for the yearbook picture. I came up with Phoebe Buffay and Andy Sachs. But which one? I was rummaging through my closet and I found these: A worn-out, black vest/cardigan and a checkered polo, and my once-worn bootsies. I just don't know when to wear the ensemble because it would perfect for an evening date (left) and an afternoon shopping trip with the girlfriends (right). BUT both are out of reach so, maybe next year? OKAY.

Cheerios!

P.S.

So? Phoebe or Andy?

IT'S 4:03 AM AND I JUST WOKE UP

This is one of those columns that Mr. Avila talked about last Saturday. "I love Chocolate cake..." Who cares and SO WHAT?! "I got mad at a girl in church awhile ago, I hissed (with all the might not to use any obscene language), 'SOMEONE'S PRAYING BEHIND YOU'".

Jeez, people. RESPECT.

WHOOPS

It was only when I got home that I (well, my friend) realized that it was possible, highly likely, that I may have been walking around High Street flashing people. She wanted to see the shoes I was wearing, I even bragged that it was pure leather. She was laughing like crazy. That's when I realized that this... is what she was laughing at:

It's okay, it's okay. You're gonna have one of yours too. At least it's pure leather. ; ) Thanks to the tube top that I wore as a skirt, thanks!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, CHE!

I remember transferring to blogger because I wanted to turn over a new leaf--too bad, the new leaf turned into a dried, crunchy one. And so, I have decided: IT'S SPRING AGAIN.

I reserved two International Economics books by Salvatore--for Anj and I. Wala lang, I just wanted to type Salvatore. And International Economics.

I was outside the V-Mall when some teenager asking for money said: "Mommy, hihingi lang po ako ng tulong. For charity."

Again. MOMMY. Mukha ba akong nanay kanina? :((

PINOY TAYO

Something that Zia forwarded. I am seriously laughing my pants off, but nothing beats the joy I have while watching Micah Lu's grandma's first rollercoaster ride.

Enjoy!

SURPRISE, POP

I guess Clooney will be having his much needed rest after a hell-hole of a semester. My dad has been bugging me to "pimp" his laptop and asked me to download songs between cheesey and okay-cheesey by Elton John and The Cure, respectively.

I was 2 minutes late for my 7:30-am class yesterday. BUENA MANO. It takes about 3 minutes for me to walk from the entrance of UA&P to ACB203. 3 cuts and your out! This is just something along the sidelines as I am watching FRIENDS as I type and tendency is, I lose my train of thought--or the lack thereof.

I am surprising my dad. He's so funny and cute he asked if "we" (meaning I) can fix his iTunes in my room and he sat beside me while he downloaded photos of cars. He kept whining about the photos that wouldn't appear in his screen saver and desktop background. He expects me to know everything and asked me to fix it and look for the lost photos of Range Rovers and Mercedes' that he downloaded from before. UM, KASE SA GOOGLE, MARAMI LUMALABAS NA PHOTOS NG CARS, PA. MGA 35,090,343 PLUS, PLUS PLUS. 

So since I couldn't google them for you. HERE! Someone who needs a new car.

Ready? Presenting... Pop's new background.
