Snippets!

I Know, I Know

2010-08-22T18:54:00.001+08:00

I am totally burned out and I am completely missing out on life.

Then, a not-so-unexpected question came out:

'...but..what..hmmm..what about my own happiness?'

No one responded. Not a single soul did.

'Great. So..I'm giving myself 2-4 weeks and then I'll make the decision.'

Hah! Came from Tumblr, not me.

Gahd. I miss writing and reading.

Pucca Leads Ninja Turtles 1-0

2010-07-11T17:52:00.002+08:00

Darrel, (10y/o) my youngest cousin, switching cartoon channels.

Darrel: What do you like..this(Pucca) or...this(Ninja Turtles).
Intelligent Cousin: What!?!? You're watching Pucca? That's for girls!
Darrel: No..you're just building stereotypes.
Intelligent Cousin: *stunned* (out of sneakiness, I checked if he really know what he is saying) Uhm..what's stereotypes?
Darrel: My gosh..you don't know what stereotype means?
Intelligent Cousin: NO! I know! I learned that in..2nd grade!!! FYI, I build stereotypes everyday!

We ended watching Pucca. And it was more action packed than Transformers and GI Joe combined.

---

The morning of my last day at Pinoy Big Brother, David, Darrel and their parents (my uncle and aunt), arrived here in Phil.

My two cousins slash 3D buddies will be staying here and will be studying at Reedley. Because entering high school in their Indonesia school would cost 1 year salary of the CEO of Ayala Land. Rough estimate.

Cousin: Where's Krakow?
David: When in doubt, Google it. Or Wiki...

Cousin: Where do you want to watch, Eastwood or Gateway?
David: I don't want to go to Eastwood. I'll be staying there for the rest of my life.
Cousin: I'm not.
David: Let's just watch at Gateway.
Cousin: I am married to Gateway since its birth. ...and for the rest of my life.

Just In Time! If It Was Yesterday Yesterday

"..when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself if 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot. because the best things in life, they don't come free."

Last week, I bumped into my old private journal and had a field day on re-reading my shits. I think I heard this quote last 2007 from one of the DJs in mellow so I instantly typed it to unconsciously remind myself of the choices that I'll make once I enter June of 2010.

And I'm retyping it now. I'm super scared.

For proper citation, this quote was from Grey's Anatomy/Dawsons Creek, yeah?
Yeah says Google.

Endings Are Always Sad

2010-07-11T17:10:00.002+08:00

Especially if the one you're rooting for didn't win.

Ryan Bang placed second and James Reid..Big Winner.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?"

[Because this is the only proof that I'm not lying. And that I really have mad paint skillz. lol There's 350,649 'Christopher' in Phil. Ata.]

On my last shift (June 26 - Saturday - 7am), I arrived at the Main Control Room right on time but was surprised to see Ate Abi being the only soul inside the room. She was sleeping so I waited for her to wake up...
'Ate Abi, may pasok pa ba ngayon o sa Big Night na lang mamaya? Bakit tayo lang nandito? Haha'

...'Ate Abi, kelangan pa ba magbasa ng summary?'
I am so dependent to others even in my last shift. Hate it.

Savor it. I flipped through the summary book and read what happened for the past 2 days because I came from an off. I even found the full text of Big Brother's message to the remaining 6 housemates and it was only then that I realized that..I'm jobless starting June 27. lol That white paper which was pasted in the summary book was actually an introduction to the career that I'll/we'll be facing after our stint with PBB. It was a reminder of the lessons that we've learned, an instruction to dream big, ...I can't remember the other stuff. Memory gap paksyet!

3 months. It wasn't quick but it wasn't dragging either. The whole experience really felt like a platform for training/preparation..for a battle..something Hunger Games-ish.

The Batch/Edition. I met the funniest people inside MCR. Specifically in our batch - the new co-pilots and loggers for the Teen Clash Edition. Anyone can crack you up anytime of the day, I swear!

From Jaja A's My Post-MCR life: [Jaja is witty. Was absorbed by another show even before PBB Tenn Clash ended]

1. Pagpasok ko ng bahay, sinu-surrender ko ang cellphone ko sa nanay ko. tutunganga lang siya sakin, sabay tanong, "Anong gagawin ko dito?" Ako naman, nag-aantay ng number ko.

2. Tuwing umiiyak yung pamangkin kong 8-month old, parang naririnig kong sumisigaw si kuya alvin, "ZOOM IN, DOS! ZOOM IN DOS! TWO SHOT KWATRO, SAMA MO SI YAYA!"

5. Tinanong ako ng friend ko one time, "asan ang lolo mo?" bigla kong sinagot, "si lolo? asa taas po ata ..." Lolo is our director who has his own office at the 2nd floor.

6. Minsan sa starbucks, nag-open up yung tropa ko tungkol sa problema nila ng nanay niya. humingi pa sakin ng advice. sabi ko, "sige bukas, ipapatawag ko si Doc Randy."

7. Habang lahat ng tao eh nagninilay-nilay at nagdadasal ng 3 o' clock prayer, sumisigaw ako ng "CHANGE TAPE PO!" Haha. Tape change happens every 3rd hour..inside MCR. And you'll hear one person shouting "Change tape!/Tape change!"

9. Sa FX, tuwing pinapatugtog sa radyo yung kantang "AHAAAAA! AHAAAAA! AHAAAAAA!" ng Michael Learns to Rock, nalulungkot ako bigla, napapaluha at hina-hug ko yung katabi ko ... bumubulong pa ko ng "... kita tayo sa labas ..."

11. Pag may nawawala akong gamit, at di ko talaga makita, napapasigaw ako ng "KUYA, paki-pan left naman nung SIYETE! may hinahanap lang po ako ..."

12. Similarly, pag may nagtsitsimisan at gusto kong maki-usyoso, napapabulong ako, "Kuya audio, paki-up naman po ng lapel ni Shon"

13. Pag di ko talaga marinig, napapalapit ako sa nearest usisero sabay hirit na, "Anong usapan diyan?"

14. Nung minsang gusto kong magpaluto ng espesyal na pansit, tinawag ko yung katulong namin, "LORNALYN, kunin mo yung sulat sa baul at dumiretso ka ng storage room. wag mong sasabihin ito sa iyong mga kasama, ay, kay mama pala ..." Kahit wala naman kaming storage room.

15. At nung minsang yung katulong namin e nagluluto nang walang pahintulot, nasita ko siya, "SINONG S.E. MO?"

16. Habang nagta-type, takang-taka ako bakit hindi lumalabas yung timecode tuwing nagko-control M ako. nag-i-indent lang. bakit ganon? sabay sigaw ng "SYSTEMS!!!!"

Haaay, first job, I love you more than you know. :)

You Want Something Eventful, Eh?

2010-06-22T19:36:00.015+08:00

Missing: Toby. :(

My favorite picture of you.
(Even if you look like a girl here, we all know that you're one buff dude!)
Because this 'look' only happens once every blue moon. You get so dirrrty easily. Day after your grooming shiz, you already look like a dust bunny.

Like madungis na amo, like madungis na aso. Why amo with fake unparallel blue eyes?

June 13, 2010 / Sunday / 7:30am - Exactly his 1 yr and 4 mo

Mother woke me up and asked 'What time pasok mo?'
'*grunts* ??? 4:30 pa. Bakit?' [My schedule is usually written on our whiteboard so I was a bit annoyed with the question. And was like 'What was that for?']

'Nawawala si Toby.' Oh, it was just her preamble.

I processed the thought and then I tried going back to sleep. After 10 minutes..nah, can't go back to sleep anymore. So I pushed myself out of the bed & went outside. My mother was talking to one of our neighbors while I was looking at the cars passing by figuring out how many hours was my sleep 'Hmmm..6 hours.'

---

The night before, I came home from a High School Buddy's treat and merrily gorged with diabetes. I was home a bit early though, around 11:30. PM. My mother asked me to walk Toby outside since my father won't be back until Sunday afternoon.

Diabetic Son: Eh? Gabi na..
Mother: Hindi pa 'yan nakalabas. Ilakad mo na, gamitin mo yung bagong tali.

So I look for Toby's new leash. Adjusted it because the neck and leg hole were too small for him. While I was in the middle of measuring his tiny dog size, he was being funny as he kept on raising his right hand/front right leg as if inserting it in an invisible leash.

It was just us in the hushed street. After some few human steps/several puppy steps, I was already playing tug of war with him because he wanted to walk farther. He was even crying, not barking. I think he knows that it should be snooze time already so he just did the soft dog whining...

'Toby! Sssshhh!"

Toby finally stopped. And just made the most out of our literally dark situation - sniffing the sidewalk while I was watching him.

And..that was it.

---

It has been 9 days.

On the onset, my parents were transparently affected and have gone slightly emo about the whole situation; My brother ordered pizza and went to Gateway while I, with an M.A. in Putting On A Poker Face, sat in front of the television, watched Eagle Eye (& actually enjoyed it) and ate 3 slices of pizza. Or 5. Don't tell brother!

My mother went to the Town Hall (slash diyan sa barangay lol) while my father already informed our neighbors that he'll be giving 4k as a reward to whoever can bring Toby back. I'd say, make it 5k. We all want Toby safe and sound here and we're really worried on how he is being treated/fed. Do they even know what his specific dog food is? That he can 'sit?' That he likes to be scratched on his tummy? That whatever time of the day is (even if it is 3am), if he sense our familiar footsteps going inside the house, he would put much effort to wake up, drag himself to us with a little wobbly walking and lick us/act cute while wiggling his super short tail?

He is just so selfless. Unlike a lot of humans. And he is still due with one or two more appointment/s with the Animal Care Clinic so he really need to go home.

Looking in to this whole scenario, I also realized that I've been already stripped off of much emotionsssss before this Toby incident. Insert the familiar 'I've gone through a lot' line. So this may sound harsh but losing Toby should be a walk in the park. I mean, I absolutely love Toby = A HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT. But I should deal with the reality and that reality is 'he is gone.' If he comes back, I'd be so much happy. But for now, I should continue with my now more boring life. I really really really miss him though.

That PUPPEH NOSE! I wanna scratch ittt!

He is not a huge fan of hugs but I don't care. [see photo] I'll hug him anytime of the day, even if he is eating or sleeping. Because 1. He's very much cuddly 2. It is so relaxing and 3. It's INSTANTLY FREE! If I want a hug, Toby would run but 4 Toby steps = 1 or 2 Me steps..lose-lose situation for him!

Hmm..this is it? This would probably my last Toby Blog Entry and it took me days to finish this.

So Toby..hmmm..wherever you are..we all wish that you are healthy and we want you to know that we miss you bigtime. I also hope to see and hug you soon!

I'm Not Sure With That Bet Anymore

2010-06-22T10:40:00.003+08:00

A lot got a little too complacent.

And I'm becoming a..Psychology. Hate it.

*Non Verbal Communication books surprisingly smassshingly land on the keyboard!!!*

Cum Graveyard Shift

2010-06-11T08:41:00.003+08:00

Mrs. Story Editor was monitoring the confession room while I was switching screens between the girls and the boys bedroom.

Out of thin air, Mrs. Story Editor maybe saw me laughing so she nudged me..

Mrs. Story Ed: Anong pinag-uusapan sa boys bedroom?
Surprised Cop: Ay, uhmmm..ano po...
Mrs. Story Ed: ...
Surprised Cop: Yung ano po...yung boys po..
Mrs. Story Ed: ...
Surprised Cop: ..talking about boys stuff.
Mrs. Story Ed: Ano nga yun?
Surprised Cop: Cum po.

At the boys' bedroom, James and Bret were fooling Ryan with the word 'cum' since Ryan doesn't know the real meaning of it. Ryan's comprehension of 'cum' was 'come' and he was saying stuff like 'I'm telling Ivan to cum/come here then..' He was clueless. Bigtime.

Sometimes, it should really come with a bunch of explanation.

'Oh My God, Di Ba?'

2010-06-01T12:22:00.001+08:00

I bet he'll be in the Big Night.

Itataya ko pa ang 2 buwan kong sweldo! lol

We're not allowed to convince/sway people to vote for a specific housemate or widely endorse them but he's just damn hilarious that I can't help but share.

In terms of being effortlessly funny, Jenny Kim comes behind Ryan Bang. Ahhh, Koreans! I want to learn your language. It just sounds so fast that saying one whole sentence can simply eat 2 seconds. Faster than a speeding bullet!

I Was This Close To Quitting School

2010-06-01T11:47:00.008+08:00

And it was 3 months away from college graduation. Heh

I found notes. Notes that I usually scribble when I am full of angst or when I feel like throwing baseball batssss or bottlesss of beer.

[EDITED] (typing the whole thing would be dragging and would make me hungry / lame excuse)

December
'I do not like what's happening. I just want 2009 to end. To get over this and have a clean slate..

..every minute I spent on that ______ was a minute wasted for nothing...for self-destruction, actually.

I hate myself..for being an ass..for giving excuses and shit. For this day and yesterday. FUCK.

I'm unfazed when I am not in school. I should stay out of it.

I want this whole shit out of my life.

I feel like quitting. I mean, I'm a quitter. I know that very well.

I've made some bad decisions and I am not ready to face the consequences. I'm sorry...'

I was stunned after reading the whole stuff. It felt intense. Haha. And it felt like it was a complete different person who wrote in that paper - a depressed kid with a superior IQ.

To be honest, there was a time in my freshman year where I wanted to be home schooled. I was having the same sentiment but I was cursing less.

---

Yesterday, I asked my mother about the start of classes even if I'm no student anymore. Hmmm, the June syndrome.

Sin With Me?

2010-05-31T09:58:00.005+08:00

Because I don't want to leave the uneventful month of May with just..one..post.

Ryan Bang! Bang! Bang!

2010-05-05T11:28:00.005+08:00

= TRIPLE WIN

Jusko. Hindi pa siya ganun ka-fun sa primetime.

He is bad in Tagalog but that makes it more funny. I think he should be friends with A and just have a conversation. Then air it on TV. It will be a huge threat to How I Met Your Mother or F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

[Got this from Pinoyexchange. Good grasp of PBB for better comprehension. :)]

That Holy Week at Quezon slash behind the scenes of You're Mongolian? Part II: Return Of the Yadda Yadda

Pretty? Toby and half of A's leg. Toby will always look for a precious space in this blog. He pushed me to publish this photo; Bit my foot and won't let go of it until the photo pops out of the screen..

Tsk. S-p-o-i-l-e-d, a-t-t-e-n-t-i-o-n c-r-a-v-e-r and s-e-m-i c-r-u-e-l, I know! He is slowly learning to read so I need to use this hyphen technique to confuse him.

Plus, he wants this blog's url to be changed to iammightytoby.blogspot.com since he feels that most of my posts are 'Toby-centric.'

Some sort of pseudo doggy threesome with Hazy Beige (friend of mother's dog), Fuzzy Toby and Wooly Puppy (cousin's dog). Toby kept on sniffing Puppy's butt but Puppy was too wise for Toby so she just sat on the floor all day. All day.

Lily, 50% disaster!, 40% Australian kangaroo and 10% lotus feet, stayed either inside a box or sleeping on my grandfather's soft white chair the whole Holy Week. Once you put her out of her jailhouse, she will be hopping everywhere and will be wreaking havoc 24/7.

On the upper right part of the photo is Toby meticulously planning a tactic on how he can sniff Puppy's butt. His body is hidden from Puppy's view but his head is all out showing sign of his presence. F-A-I-L

Day 1 and this tripod greeted me.
'Para san yan?'
*♫ ..never gonna dance again..guilty feet have got no rhythm.. ♫*

Cousin set this up beside his bed and it stood there untouched and totally unused. 'Eh bat may red bandana ditooooo!?'

My 2nd favorite spot every morning. Could have been first if there was internet connection. And maybe burgers, gold bars and..you. Heh. Baduy.

Mater Dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows) outside her doll house/box.

Holds history - from great great (times 173621563) grandparents passed on to my grandparents and then passed on to my mother (parents). So she is left with two you're-doomed! choices in the future..ME OR MY BROTHER. *insert The Day The Earth Stood Still BG music*

Part of the responsibility is to get 2 or 3 people to change Mater Dolorosa's clothes to a sleek black-purple one. The heavy clothes are kept under her doll house/box but it's a serious task since it involves nails, hammers and a lot of muscle-flexing. And then there's also food preparation for 70+ people, checking and changing of light bulbs, etc.

So every Holy Week (esp Holy Friday), the only possible statuses are - busy/dnd/afk/..invisible to everyone (if you're due two more movies to watch).

After the procession, there's usually a lot of people inside the house so we [cousins and dogs] lock ourselves inside our grandparent's room to watch dvds and eat pancit and cupcakes. It has been pancit and cupcakes every dinner of Holy Friday since 1611.

Dusty out-of-tune upright pedal piano!

When there were still no laptop/dvds/burger machine, I kill time by playing my grandparent's piano pieces. I can even play 'Apple bottom jeans jeans boots with a fur, with a fur' before. lol. My favorite piece was 'Blue Moon' because I can have a trio with my mother and my uncles/aunt. Now, the only two pieces that I can play right off the top of my head are 'Snake Dance' and 'Happy Birthday.' Very Pre-Kindergarten.

Right above the piano is a scenic collage (hehe) of my relatives' college graduation photos. My mother (lower left) finished Commerce and Business Administration. At the bottom is their youngest brother, my uncle who is a generous priest. And fyi, one of my grandmother's sisters is a nun. THAT'S WHY! I grew up so pious, faithful and lies-free. :)

This terrace is quite filthy now and steels were placed to avoid crooks and stray cats. But still spacious that it can hold 20+ people for partaaays! It's also a perfect spot to do some clearing-of-clouded-mind shit or to find a signal for your Globe phone.

I tend to hide under this staircase and surprise/scare people who go down by grabbing their legs/feet. I also shout 'WAH!!!' really loud to add a more terrifying emotion. I think it's quite effective..and really mature.

FREAKY.

One afternoon while my grandfather, mother and cousin were sleeping in their own room and everyone else were out of the house, I decided to release my burning creativity and lame-blurry talent in photography. Click here, click there..

Going upstairs, I accidentally clicked the shutter button and got this photo.
Me: FUDGE. *shivers*

Shivers? Haha. Kid. This is me with my Invisibitlity power. Semi-True Story.

You're Mongolian? Part II: Return Of The Yadda Yadda

2010-04-09T07:24:00.006+08:00

I was able to horse around with A, mah Mongolian friend, and my cousin last week when we went to the province for Holy Week. A's Tagalog vocab is getting better and he now speaks more Mongolian language to confuse us.

'Prick! No fai-..ay! HINDI PATAAAAS! BAWAL!!...UMIMIK NG MONGOLIAN! RAAAAA!!! *transforms to Captain Planet*'

We bond over DVDs, food and much more food because we all have the same taste when it comes to food - everything.

Photo from cousin!

Concealed Brother, Hidden Iron Man and Disguised A while waiting for the procession to start.
No hint of familiarity whatsoever.

SHOUT OUT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER! I wish..I could read that Diary of a Wimpy Kid which was given to you by your officemate. Hehe All the best :)

---

We were waiting for the procession when I saw a kid with an awesome scooter..
Me: Ooohh, astig!
A: Aha astig! What does astig means?
Me: Uhmmm..hmmm..it's an expression when you're creeped out. Like 'Oh my. It is so dark that I can actually sense ghosts or evil spirits around. Asteeeeg!'...it really means cool or dope.

12:30am. Ancestral house. We were in the middle of watching Friday the 13th when suddenly..
*brownout*
Me: *top of ~~the world~~ my lungs* I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!!!! HAHAHAH-
Me: ???
[silence]
Me: React Asians! I'm scared!

A: You're half Chinese right?
Me: No.
A: Quarter?
Me: No. Where did you get that? I'm Superman. Full. Take it or you'll fly back to Mongolia..and please keep it a secret!

Aunt: Call Kuya J. Tell him to go down and eat lunch.
*5 minutes*
A: He is..tulog..patay?
Everyone: !?!?
A: He's dead sleep..

His digits.
A: ..isa(1)..wala(0)..ostso(8)..osto is six?..

In the middle of She's Out Of My League.
Me: She's a perfect 10. A hard 10. And you're (cousin) just..a..3.
Me and A: Hahaha
A: And me?
Me: Barely 2. lol Don't worry, I'm 3.5.
A: No, no, I'm a 9 plus one because girls like guys with small eyes, you know.

My uncle, who is a priest, gave me a graduation gift in a form of cash..
Me: Ka-ching! *flashes money* We'll buy beer! Yeaaaahh!
[A's eyes turn huge. I look at my back and saw my priest uncle passing by]
Me: ..for the THIRSTY. And then food, for the hungry. Cloth the naked..and all that stuff.

Toby and his tricks.
Me: Toby, sit. Sit.
Toby: ....
Me: Sit, Toby. Sit.
Toby: *sits*
Me: Good! Good boy. Now, play dead. Toby, play dead.
Toby: ...
Me: Lie down, canine!

On My Sassy Girl, Serious Betting and Saving My Last Piece of Tops (mini cheap brownies/cake)
Cousin: Hindi. Meron talagang UFO sa part na 'yan. Nabasa ko rin sa forum yun eh
Me: Ngek. Sure ka? Parang joke naman yun
A: What UFO?
Cousin: Konti lang nakakapansin nito. Eto oh..
*goes back to the tree scene*
Me: There's none!
A: Yeah, nothing
Cousin: Wait, nandito yun eh..
*retrograde more*
Cousin: Meron talaga. Ano, bet? Tops?
Me: This is my last Tops so I'm not betting.
A: I don't have tops anymore so I'll bet your Tops.
Me: LOL This is my Tops. Bet something that belongs to you..your laptop.
A: No, I'm betting your Tops.
Me: This is my last piece! Bet your house!
A: No, I'm betting your Tops. DEAL!
Cousin: DEAL!
Me: No Fair!!! Bet my used boxers then!
Cousin: Oh, eto na, eto..panoorin niyo..
*a mini ufo appears at the back of the girl and then disappears in the sky*
Me: Nope, there's none. Didn't see it.
A: Saw nothing too.
Cousin: Wait. Ulitin ko..
*replays*
Cousin: Ayan, ayan oh *points at the mini UFO*
Me: HUH? Hindi naman UFO yan eh! Butterfly yan, dude! Butterfly!
A: Yeah, it's a butterfly!
Cousin: Hindi! UFO yun!
Me: No! WAIT. let's just vote..who votes for butterfly?
Me and A: *raises hands*

PS: My cousin and A are huge people so when we walk in the streets to buy merienda, I am usually mistaken as a pogo stick. True story.

The Tale Of The Green Long Sleeve Polo And White Egg Shirt

2010-03-26T08:53:00.003+08:00

Because overnights have proper uniform decorum..

And history repeats itself..twice..in one month.

White Egg Shirt

Green Long Sleeve Polo

[ Photos from Nicole and Rayne..if I'm not mistaken :) ]

Poor soul was hijacked on both occasions. It was unplanned, unexpected and really unplanned and really unexpected. I had nothing but backpack with school shit.

Occasion1, we had our shoot for our news show so I was wearing the formal-y Green LSP.
Occasion2, I came from a formal-y shiz that needed LSP. So I was wearing the Green LSP. Actually, my parents debated that I should wear the Green LSP.

Occ1 was in front of the school building and boy, was I pulled through my backpack from the building to the cab.
Occ2 was along Asturias and my phone was snatched and it wasn't given back until I was inside the cab.

Occ1, house owner let me borrow his White Egg Shirt to change for casual sleeping wear.
Occ2, house owner let me borrow his White Egg Shirt to change for casual sleeping wear.

Occ1, I had with me my brother's Ipod..without any permission.
Occ2, I had with me my brother's Ipod..without any permission.

Occ1, on the folding soft couch but I wanted to be near the fan so I willingly placed half of my body on the floor.
Occ2, half of my body was out of the bed so I willingly slept on the floor.

Scratch that.

Occ1, ..so I willingly lie down on the floor but my mind was half-awake for moral support and emergency breakdowns.
Occ2, ..so I willingly lie down on the floor to freeze like an ice and sleep for 20-30 minutes.

Occ1, I left the house [@ Manila] around 7am to take a bath and change for the last class at school which was scheduled at 8:30am.
Occ2, I left the house [@ Parañaque] around 7 am to change, sleep for 2 hours and take a bath for the Baccalaureate Mass which was scheduled at 4:30 pm.

Occ1, I arrived late at school. But some of my classmates were more late.
Occ2, I arrived late at school. But few of my classmates were more late.

Occ1, I felt sluggish and drained at school.
Occ2, I felt sluggish and drained at school.

Occ1, classmates were taking lotsa pictures and I looked like I inhaled 12 packs of Mary Jane.
Occ2, ..exactly the same!

Because On The 29th

2010-03-24T19:34:00.005+08:00

*tumblr*

It's THE Graduation Day at PICC.
The very last graduation.

It will also probably mark the day that-I-last-saw-your-face kind of thing.

Can we hug too? For the last time? You know, without malice and all. :)

Scruffy-Muchas-Gracias Toby without bath for days.

Father: Ma, pano yan..wala na tayong pag-aaralin. Si Toby naman?

I've been bonding with Toby these past few days that I even learn the art/skill of tying his hair. Such scrutiny and hard work. Next goal: Teach Toby Algebra and video games.

He's on a Yorkie diet. Strict Yorkie diet.

I saw his dingdong once out in the ayer. It looks funny.

I like to scratch Toby's snuffle - his furry nose.

The Daschund's name is Lily.

Lily still eats and sleeps a lot.

She's way too crazy.

She sometimes eats/steals Yorkie food so good luck on what she'll look like when she turns 1 or 2. A cross of some weird dog breeds.

One day, Lily and Toby started to wrestle each other

And they didn't stop. Ever. After.

Last Friday was our Baccalaureate Mass and it was so beautiful and Embassy-ish/Encore-ish. Party beats eh?

I even had a Fire-Burning-on-the-Dance-Floor moment while watching the jaw-dropping & nape-tiring fireworks...

*right hand felt hot*
Me: @_@?
Me: oh, shit
Me: waaaaahhhh!!! *throws burning mini box and candle on the ground*
Me: Syeeet Anong gagawin ko!?!? Tatapakan ko!?!?
Jhong: Pabayaan mo lang..
Me: Ah, okay...
Me: *goes back to watching fireworks*

I really wanted to take photos with everyone - with present and former classmates..with professors..with every person in our batch..from other courses. Bibo pala. - but I was too shy since I felt groggy and looked like a drug pusher that day. My only sleep last Friday was lunchtime. Blame it on the hilarious 1:30 AM SEx at Parañaque.

Santinow.

I will miss my school boy look. :)

(3/12/10)

I'm sick for almost two weeks but I didn't care on the first few days since I was having the last week of my student life and I was so busy meeting deadlines, looking and waiting for professors for hours, proxying as a cameraman, doing standuppers, rehearsing for a play, sneezing like hell, recording with phlegmy voice, looking for interviewees, not sleeping for straight days, finishing an account, doing a presentation hours before presenting it, converting/uploading/downloading files for one whole day, running in and out of St. Raymund's, etc...that I didn't realize that my health was asking for attention and shit. I thought it will be gone after 3 or 4 days. I really really really thought.

I even spent my last day at school unconsciously sleeping in front of Room 113. I just sat in that long brown chair near the girl's comfort room while my mates were editing the very last requirement for graduation..and then sleep punched in - MINUS POGI POINTS WITH THE NOT-SO-LOUD-BUT-SOUNDS-A-LITTLE-CUTE SNORING - FUUUU. lol No one bothered to wake me up.

"Humihilik ka ah"

"Umuwi ka na, mukha kang pulubi dyan"

So I went home. There. That was my last day as a student at school. FML.

With that helluva sick week, I realized that I have acute viral rhinopharyngitis or commonly known as..Cold. Heh. Common cold, the usual cold and cough. But mine is abnormal, severe, clingy and sensitive. I laugh at it and treat it like that billboard ad at Legarda so it decided to stay and camp in at my healthy system. I felt bad since my mom and brother also caught this shiz. But they're fine now.

I just have to finish my med tablets, get enough boring sleep (I'm even forced to sleep every afternoon which I think doesn't have anything to do with getting better), eat tasteless food which taste nothing, eat corny cabbages and everything green & odd-looking plus drink boiling water or anything which is not cold...'In this El Niño weather? Bawal malamig!?!?'

[edit/add] (3/23/2010)

Cold has also been on and off.

Last Saturday, I attended a get-together with my HS mates and as I sat on that booze chair..

Me: Kayo pa lang?
All together now: MAY SIPON KA?

They Don't Decline That

Because we're PRO like that.

Totally PRO.

With Angela/Aunj and Angeli/Angge. :)

What The Cats?

2010-03-12T09:16:00.010+08:00

Film Professor assigned Cats for our group and I was like What The? Why not Finding Nemo or Family Guy The Musical?

Then John assigned a major role for me to perform so I used all ze efforts to escape from it and get a minor one.

"..sa ibang plays, yung guy roles binibigay nila sa girls and effective ah. Pinapalakpakan pa!"

"Uy! Gusto daw ni ano ng major role! Parang mas bagay sa kanya."

"John, ang sakit ng wisdom tooth ko. Hindi ata ako makakapagperform T_T "

It was one great bonding before graduation. To make sure that everyone will be more close so that we'll miss each other more after March 29. Aaaah, memories..all alone in the moonlight. :))

3 straight days of rehearsals!

*of different breeds and habits*

*showing emotion - hello fellow cats*

*them bending pussycats..doing THE ANGGE POSE*

[ Photos from Aunj :) ]

Confusion on the first part of the play..

"Anoooong next step?"

"Ang sikip!"

"Tago muna ako, hindi ko alam next na gagawin - lol"

We weren't able to fully rehearse my fight scene with Ryan and what we did on the play itself was improv. I was clueless on what we're doing in the middle of the stage but had Superman guts so I decided to do a front flip without hands! I ran from the left side of the room going to Ryan and then superhero flip ala Spiderman. Next thing I knew, I landed safely on my feet. ZOMG. I wasn't aware that I have such talent. Haha. Calling Jabbawockeez, someone has mad flippin' skillz. *Ehem with phlegm*

Gab as Rum Tum Tuger [Thanks Aunj!] was brilliant. I think he was born to play that role.

Meng and Ginela were stunning. Smexy cats with great dancing skillz!

Everyone did well.

But due to fatigue, sleep deprivation, stress, pressure, etc., Ryan slept in the middle of the play. Win. From scene 4 til the end of the play, natulog habang nagpeperform ang mga co-Cats. We were given 2 hours to sleep. Some didn't even sleep at all. So yeah.

Pero panalo pa rin yung pagakyat at alanganing pagbaba ni Grizabella sa Teacher's table. Medyo LOL-while-acting. XP

"Guys, plus 5 lang daw 'tong play.." -> "#)%@#%)^*$)^*$)^$^)!$*^)"

Hindi ko na napigilan eh.

Kasalanan to ni Justin Bieber. I open the boob tube before 6 am and she was singing 'Baby.' It was stuck in my head the whole day. FHL.

On a terrifying note: I'm shit scared of this coming week. Everything academic-related is due on it. One last ziggey for the school year. For the entire college year. I'll probably look like a frying pan by the 7th of March.

Of Krabby Patties, Kool Aid And I-Wish-We-Could-Talk-Like-This Shiz
