it was just like friday the 13th with some fortune of lucky 7

what was the date yesterday? yes, it was the 22th of june, saturday. but it became more of friday, the 13th to me. unluckiest, blooper-est day of my week... with some parts of the day lucky. thank god!

it started early in the moring when the dorm's bathroom was just so full and it was already 7:30, my class is 8:00.ha-ha. it is already predicted, without clue, that i came in late for my asian civilization class. it doesn't matter though. since it's just one of my minors. but still... the good thing is, our class was cut-off because of the institutional holy spirit mass.

we then proceeded to the auditorium instead of spending the whole bloody three hours discussing about mesopotamia and some other ancient civilizations. the unlucky part? we were seated in fron of two talkative freshmen. they just kept on talking all throughout the mass! i just want to yell at them, like 'hello?! are you not sensitive enough to shut up your pieholes and keep the mass sacred? because you just keep on giggiling. duh! and there is nothing sensible in your conversation!'

the mass ended eventually- with the freshmen still talking and giggling like there is no tomorrow. we were told to stay for an announcement- CLASSES ARE SUSPENDED. and that was just so, well, lucky. all yelled and shouted, including us, and the two freshmen- i just can't forget them because they got me so annoyed.

i proceeded to the dorm to bag my things and change clothes. i have to go home for the weekend. i went to rob manila to buy a gift for my cousin. then headed for the lrt. unlucky- the lrt was just so full and i have no seat even though it was the time of the day when the train must be free of many people. second unlucky lrt incident- i tripped on my way to the door when the train reached 5th avenue. third unlucky part- i don't know what came through me but i inserted my card to the wrong machine. thanks to the ate guard that let me pass through the gate.

thank god there was already a bus when i reached the last step of the stairs. i rode the 'killer bus' (because it's as if you are going to heaven when you ride the bus. it flies in NLEX) and there was no seat. unlucky. later on, i was half-seated on a seat for losers. half- seated because only the half part of my butt is actually seating. get it?

we reached nlex and the bus flied. haha! it ws a fast trip. when we reached the exit. it was traffic. we waited 20 minutes to exit.

the story goes. the rest of my day is mixed of lucky and unlucky events. SO WIERD! it was just like friday the 13th with some fortune of lucky 7.

where all that matters is looks.

i was not a fan of PDA or Pinoy Dream Academy before but i dared to watch it this time because someone i knew, someone from my hometown, just got in to the final whoevers. he is really good! hear him sing and you will be really amazed. all he lacks is the looks. i mean, he looks okay but not they i-am-a-celebrity-i-am-handsome type. when it was time to choose who will be in the academy. and yeah, he was not included, sad to say.

i was more than outraged! i was like 'what the hell is their problem? they chose people who can't even sing very well. parang nasa videoke lang yung iba ah!" why? because they got the looks? oh come on... is it all that matters? for pete's sake, IT IS A DAMN SINGING CONTEST! they should have started a pageant!

i know and yes, most of us do want good looks and hot body. i want it too. but i know when to choose looks over talent or looks over character. i would rather like a person who is average looking and very nice, kind, smart and has sense of humor than a person is good-looking but very arrogant and cruel. and in a talent show? I WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE THE ONES WHO HAVE GENUINE TALENTS THAN THE ONES JUST USE THEIR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE TO DELIGHT THE JUDGES AND DON'T HAVE THE TALENT AT ALL!

my point here is let us be fair. of course, we can't have all- God blessed some of us with really good looks but he also blessed some with great talents. and in certain circumstances we should be impartial in making our decisions especially on giving the chance to the deserving ones.

LOOKS CAN ALWAYS BE DECEIVING!

it's early in the morning and im HERE again.

it's well, not too early, but still- it's 10 am! i don't usually do PC stuffs in the morning. it's the effing case study again! and it's more effing because my laptop is totally busted so im just renting a computer here in our dorm that costs 25/hour which is supposed to be free because, duh, we are paying here! and i am more outrageous when i learned the dorm manager is requesting me to transfer to the upper bed. early in the morning- bad news, bad mood. way to go.

i just woke up and Sister (because our dorm is being managed by a nun because i dorm inside the school and because our school is catholic school full of nuns) called me into her office. yes, without me taking a bath. so, i just showed up infornt of her with disheveled hair and puffy, i-just-woke-up eyes.

SIS: Lady, would you agree to transfer to the upper bed? it's just for one sem. until november.

ME: uhhh...

SIS: it would be very impolite for us to put the visitors in the upper bed.

ME: uhhh...

SIS: but if you don't want, i won't force you.

ME: uhhhh....

SIS: *stares at me with that very kind eyes that you can;t possible let down her request

ME: sorry sister but it would very hard for us to stay in the upper bed since we are now on the third year requirements would be very hard to accomplish if we stay in the upper bed and secondly it's hard to dress up for duty during early hours in the morning if we stay in the upper part because we don't have a desk light and we definitely need a desk light sorry sister.

SIS: okay.

literally, i didn't put commas in my speech in front of sister. i'm just to embrassed to let her down- with her very kind eyes. but i just can't give my bed to the visitor... from CHILE. i know, it's just until november but it would be very very hard. yes. really. BUT NOW MY CONSCIENCE IS KILLING ME! cos we just don't-can't- let sister down. she is very kind to us! and im very bad for not giving into her request. ahhhhhh! it's so hard.

and yes, plus my case study. what a very pleasant monday morning right? if you were me, what would you do?

HERE :)

ohhhh, it is definitely good to be back! after a long hell-ish week... i'm home! but my mind is not 'at home' because I HAVE TO MAKE AN EFFING CASE STUDY! we, paulinian student nurses, don't believe in orientation week. my first day is as bloody as ever. argh!

my professors say we are now in the 'bottleneck' of our college life. i do agree with them- 100%. it's not just a simple bottleneck. it's a bottleneck full of thorns and very narrow that you'd wish to die before you pass through. believe me, it's really... ugh! i can't describe it. we are having a really hard hell time!

it's good to be back and type many things. but i don't have the time. i shall return soon. CIAO!


-- I BARELY HAVE TIME FOR KUNG FU PANDA! LOSER ME.--

my last saturday.

it's not like i'm dying. it is just this is my last FREE saturday. next saturdays would be as busy as the rest of the days of the week. well, what can i do? i'm entering a very hard phase of college life- i'm gonna be a JUNIOR baby!

i just spent my saturday outside the house. went to my dorm for the usual fix-my-things every start of the semester. got my throat swabbed, well, for the throat swab gram stain test. passed by katipunan to fetch my sister who is currently reviewing for CETR (because i'm encouraging her to pass the UPCAT! oh, she really must. hahaha!) and set foot on SM north edsa to buy a white shoes for the first duty rotation and well, accompany my mom to do her 'panic grocery'.

why 'panic grocery'? she just did groceries last wednesday! and she just went for one again... today. and that's the hard part of having both parents with mathematically-enhanced minds--my dad's a CPA, my mom's an accountant has-been but originally a commerce graduate. they just know what is going on with the economy. their chat is like...

DAD: mommy, stock as many goods as you want.
MOM: why?
DAD: because of inflation. TFC says the price there just won't stop getting high.
MOM: oh yeah. good thinking! but i just had my grocery shopping last wednesday!
DAD: well, do it again. the price would never go down but up and up and up.

i know, right? they are just so... conscious! now we have sooo many stocks that it seems like we are establishing our own supermart.

well, my last FREE saturday is just fine. now i'm typing my, probably, last vacation blog. boo-hoo! at least i got the internet all by myself. hindi na humihinga mga tao dito kasi it's THE BIG NIGHT! wow, i am soooo excited! my gosh! my gosh!... NOT. i am not a BIG fan. haha! i do watch but not the type that my world stops everytime it's on the telly. tama lang. hehe! my vacation favorite is SINGING BEE! hahaha! it is so much fun. right... with cesar montano. yeah! hahaha!

okay, my last blog ends here. oops. my last-free-saturday blog rather. i'll just keep posted. if i have the time, i mean. haha!okay, BYE! gonna-no, HAVE TO- watch the Pinoy Big Brother Big Night! OH MY GAWD! that's a joke, okay? tsup! :)

p.s. how's kungfu panda? and URDUHA? hahaha! kung fu panda, seriously... how was it??? planning to watch it as soon as manila air touches my skin.just advice me. BYE!!!

i would never do such 'crime' again!

"TAPOS NA OKAY? GET OVER IT!" my ate said. but i just can't take it off my mind. is it such a crime? i just accepted an offer. it's like ' oh my, it's an offer so good i can't possibly disagree.' okay, okay. sumingit kami sa pila. that's it! and you would wonder why i am over-acting here. because the mother just scolded my friend in front of many people. and i am so guilty because i am part of it but i never bothered to defend our side.

the story: we just finished from the registrar and had to fall in line in front of the cashier. my very good friend called me and said 'dito na kayo oh. tara!'. i know, you wouldn't refuse an offer like that right? knowing that you have the chance and the circumstances allow it. i know it's morally wrong. but hey, we didn't force ourselves into the line. we are offered by chance to be in the line. WE JUST ACCEPTED THE GOOD OFFER! we had a long way. about 30 minutes. and just when we were already in front of the cashier, the mother approachad my friend and gunned him with so many scary, i-am-an-annoyed-mother questions. and i feel so bad because i didn't help my friends. WHAT KIND OF CREATURE AM I?

i hate it. i really hate it. good thing my friend is a smart ass and handled the situation easily. if i was the one? i would probably cry and go at the end of the line and start again.

i would never do such 'crime' again! and i admit. technically, it's our fault. IT'S MY FAULT! sorry to the second years. to the mom. to my friend.to GOD.

it's a mark.

i entered this chat room. i don't actually enter rooms but there is nothing better to do so when i entered, they were playing this some kind of name game- what's the hottest name for you? i didn't butt in. well, i just literally read their answers. CHESCA, SAM, BRAD PITT, FERGIE, JESSICA, so on and so forth. for me? it's WILLIAM. because i just finished this book by meg cabot with the character named william. he is really the 'man of your dreams' type and really hot. i know i'm cracked for giggling over a fictional character who's the reincarnation of King Arthur- as depicted in the story- and considering him hot and cute even if he is just a- HELLO?!- perfectly described fiction. and it just made me realize that 'hey, names do leave a mark. COOL!'

considering that i'm studying at a catholic university- well, i've studied at a catholic institution since grade school- it's inculcated in my mind that YOU SHOULD ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBOR'S NAME in line with the second commandment which is THOU SHALL NOT USE GOD'S NAME IN VAIN. and all my religion teachers said that names make the person. you give him identity, you make him unique by calling him by his name. the lesson which i just recently realized correct. like for instance the william thing... it's already marked in me that maybe a william is really a 'man of my dreams type' and maybe -i'm just half-considering it- a reincarnation of King Arthur.

like Paris Hilton... i know what comes to your mind when you hear the name- socialite, rich, fabulous, famous, b*itch. Brad Pitt- hot, hunk, sexy. Adam Sandler- funny, egg head, comedy films. Britney Spears- hot, sexy, pop-star-turned-addict... GET MY POINT?

and yeah, like me. at my school? i am LEEG... LEEG! for pete's sake, it's very annoying to hear that so-called (yeah, funny) nickname of me. i know you would ask why, of all the anatomical parts of the body, did they call me leeg? simply because i have a three-layered neck. literally. if you don't believe me, just go to my school and ask 'nasan po si leeg?' for sure they will lead you to where i am.

see people? it's a mark. how people describe you, what people call you, it will be their impression on you. so just don't let people call you kalbo, pango, taba, burnik, palaka, kabayo, aso, baho, or whatsoever. just snort at them, say 'my parents didn't spent 9 months thinking of my name for nothing!' and give them the piercing killer eyes. learn from me! okay?

love, LEEG

not.

NICCA!

open your eyes fool!

obviously, it is haring araw's season- it's summer! nevertheless, rainfalls are frequent during the afternoons which is, i so noticed, not a normal thing before. and the super hot, beyond-okay-sizzling days are not normal either. agree? agree? yes, it is one of the effects of our own faults and actions. it's all visible. weather alterations, glacier melting twice as fast as previously believed, droughts, species dying... HUMAN, IT'S GLOBAL WARMING!

as what i've said before, isa akong 'PEKENG ADVOCATE NA MAY LINYANG SAVE MOTHER EARTH' but i've changed. i am a true advocate now. it is all i can do for mother earth. i mean it, seriously... but it seems no one is damn listening to me- which is one thing i really hate. i never do a highly funded, publicly known project and i don't have a super power to change things either ; i am just an ordinary college student so there is nothing big i can do. nevertheless, i always believe that big things come from small ones so i am starting at this very moment my own way of saving mother earth- SPREADING THE WORD.
