p*tang*ina, maganda na ako ngayon!
Posted at 04:39 PM

Well it has been a hectic and eventful week. It has got to be one of the most devastating week for this semester acads-wise. And yet, I am not that devastated. Haha Ewan ko ba. Its not like before. Apparently things have changed, or are constantly changing. Okay, off to random things.

1. Last wednesday, I was considering cutting my Philo class.  I was already late in the first place. But then, the faint-yet-still-present angel in me made me still go to class. Haha Its in the 3rd floor of CTC, so I was walking as calmly as ever and even had time for a CR detour. When I entered class, I was wondering why the lights were dimmed and there was something being projected on the screen. Medyo nastun ako. After a few moments, it hit me: there was a quiz on the last reading - one that I did not only read, but I was also late for. That was when I told myself: packing-sh*t. haha Haha What is more is that I only had a red pen and no paper to write on. Honestly, this was the first time I was completely unprepared for an academic requirement. I was so clueless. *sigh*

2. I finished my book for my LS 100 book report, and in just 1 day! Haha This was surprising because the only books that I can finish at that rate are Harry Potter books. I think the title of the book is "On becoming a Leader" by this guy, I actually forgot who. It was published in 1990. Haha It seems na it has only been a few years ago that it was the 1990's but in just a matter of a few years, it would have been 2 decades ago that the book was published. Ayun, so the book had a lot of messages, meanings, whatever you may call it. But, its not easy reading per se. And it would be heavy if you are like me who is unfamiliar with American Pop Culture before the 90's.

3. I received an e-mail this friday. All I can say is that I am relieved. I really did not think that it would come, especially after the previous one and how poorly I thought I performed. But I am soo glad it did. In a way, I was expecting the opposite, but I am so glad I got what I got. I aint saying anything anymore - para naman I won't jinx it.

4. I watched Episode 16 and 17 of Heroes yesterday. Haha its funny how everything else stops for Heroes. It just becomes more enticing as each episode passes. I am so excited for the next episodes. And yet, I am wondering why there were three people who were not in those episodes - Nikki, her husband and her son were not there in all two episodes. I wonder why.

5. I have a lot of requirements for this week. But then they are spread out evenly accross the next week. So I think I can handle them. Thank God teachers are more sympathizing this semester. Let me see, I have a quiz in Money and Banking, the dreaded paper for Deveco, the ALTP presentation for Philosophy, catching up for Finance and the final paper for LS. I have had several blows for this semester. Ewan. Things are just not going my way. Anyway, last few moments na of the semester. I just hope I can push and in a last ditch effort, get the grades I want.

6. I have had the time to watch the new season of Pinoy Big Brother. Ewan, six lang kasi sila so parang nakakasawa na sila at sila lang yung makikita mo sa house. Let me see, theres Saicy the dancer. Ezekiel with the nice accent I want to have. Mickey(sp?), the one who hides the fact that he can both speak and understand tagalog and english. My personal favorite, Wendy with the questionably natura big boobs and fighter personality. I especially loved her yesterday when she was talking about how unattractive she was in the past... and then she became emotional and finally said... "p*tang*ina, maganda na ako ngayon!" OMG, go girl! Gee Ann and her irritating excuse for a doll (I mean, grow up already!!!). And of course, the first person I want to see out of the house, Nel. One word, ewww. Sana matanggal ka kaagad Nel. Nakakairita ka. Nel es feo. Nel es ewww. Ewwwww.

7. I am going to try to finish the Big Blue Run bukas. Haha This is the first time I am going to run a marathon-like event. I paid 150 for the entrance fee. And I got this number also - parang runner talaga. Actually, i just want to know if kaya ko talaga, and I also have my eyes on the "finisher" shirt. I just hope that I get to finish the race.*fingers crossed*

8. OMG! I forgot one important thing that happened! This week, I  was given a new puppy! Well, the puppy is a she. This is the first time na girl yung pet ko since Mitten and Goblet are both boys. And the funny thing is she doesnt look like a girl. Haha In one word, mukha siyang Monchichi. Haha She has dark brown hair with black highlights in her face and tail. Haha But she is starting to grow on me. Haha And I named her Cielo - spanish for heaven. Bakit naman? wala lang, maganda kasi pakinggan eh. I am so glad that she is getting along with my two other pets, especially Goblet -  who knew that Goblet had maternal instincts in him? I'll try to post a pic of her soon.

9. I haven't cleaned the aquarium in a month now. Pero, none of the fishes are dead. Its probably because I bought them the more expensive fish food rather than the generic ones I used to buy them in the past. I think its called Tetrafin - and I think it makes the fish look healthier, live longer, have better colors, and basically not die when the water already has growing algae. Ayun, its a good investment especially since I usually dont have the time to clean the aquarium as the semester ends.

10. And finally, this week, nakasabit na ako sa jeep! haha I know that it is soooo third world, but then again, look around, YOU are in the third world, and part of the Philippine third world experience are jeeps. Wala lang, I am so proud of myself. Honestly, it is one of those things one has to do in a lifetime.

Ayun, 10 thoughts na lang muna. I am tired ot typing na. Ciao.

PS I am thinking of making a new layout for the summer. Wala lang. Feel ko kasi kailangan. Haha I am not sure if I could top this layout kasi feeling ko talaga super ganda niya, pero I really really want a new layout. Hmmmm di naman ako nagsasawa sa layout na ito. Basta gusto ko lang ng bago. Weird no?

Just So You Know
Posted at 06:48 PM

This is going to be a short entry. Promise. Just two things i have to put into writing:

1. Can I just say you make me melt. Hahaha *blush*

2. I was watching Desperate Housewives Season Three kahapon. First episode and Bree just told the other three that she is about to get married. (ooops, spoiler. haha) And then this is the paraphrased dialogue that happened:

Bree: Well, he is very generous.
Gabrielle: So, by generous, you mean he is good in the sack. right?
Bree: Well, we haven't done it yet.
Gabrielle: hahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahaha, no seriously!?

Thats it. Yun lang.

Posted at 10:12 PM

Yay! New post na ito! I must say, I have no excuse since the past few days have been uneventful, actually, hindi naman uneventful, its just not that hectic. I can't believe na isa lang ang major requirement ko this week: which is the ALTP presentation tapos wala na. O di ba!?

Ayun. So what happened this week:

1. Went to Cartimar. Did not buy anything. Honestly did not think that was possible.
2. Went to Quiapo.  DVDs at Php 25 apiece. Can you say DVD shopping spree!?
3. Five (5) 'Nuff said.
4. Checked something with Ate Sai in the Eco Department. *sigh*
5. Finished up to the 15th episode of Desperate Housewives Season Three. Time Management at its best.
6. New dog Cielo has scabies. Still waiting if it will go away with home remedies.
7. Had the Regcom Grand GD. *sigh* feels weird to be a senior member.
8. Went to school at 7:30 for online enlistment advisory for sophomores-to-be.
9. Got permission and corresponding moolah to go to Bora.
10.Thought about a new layout. Definitely a "beach" theme.
11. Had the last quiz for Money and Banking. Thank God.
12. Went to Finance class - two sessions. total of three hours lost/wasted.
13. Finally had my bag washed. After 10000 years.
14. No Malaysia-Singapore-Thailand combination this summer. Nyeta.
15. Watched Music and Lyrics. Cute.
16. Pastries galore last saturday. I am so going to regret that.
17. I officially hate Philo. Nothing new, just making it official.
18. Passed Deveco paper. Finally done with that course. Hope its enough.
19. Had some time alone to reflect. Not good. haha
20. First time we ate take-out at home - from main course to dessert.

Well, I think that's it. Got to go back to philosophizing. Aldrich. hates. Philo.

Come on in out of the rain
Posted at 09:00 PM

When was the last time you did something impulsive? Ako? Yesterday. Haha Yesterday was soooo hot, soooo humid.. as in its the i-really-want-to-migrate-to-a-country-with-snow-now-na-kind-of-heat. And then, it rained yesterday afternoon. Haha We were barbecuing while it was raining - galeng no, kahit may rain, may barbecue pa rin. So ayun, back to the rain. While I was looking at the rain drops that were starting to get bigger and rain stronger... i asked myself, when was the last time I had fun under the rain? haha Ayun, so the next minute, there I was, all crazy, playing in the rain. Ewan. Parang bata no? Well, sometimes, its nice to go back. I felt so nice and rejuvinated. I was asking the other people to join me, pero si Goblet lang ata yung gusto. Haha Pero I could not let him go outside coz he will probably get sick. Wala lang. I just had fun with the rain.

My mom told me something kanina while we were talking. To be honest, it made me laugh. The thing is, she wasn't being funny. Pero ewan, natawa lang ako. It was so hopeful and optimistic. Pero, in fairness, I hope what she said comes true. It just makes everything I do and did worth it. *blush* haha *fingers crossed*

I spent the whole day in the PLDT Building in Mandaluyong for their Student Camp a.k.a internship interview. It was fun at some parts, but some parts were shitty specially the parts where I was literally starving. Haha They fed us breakfast at around 9 and did not serve lunch until 1:30. WTF!? They had several logistical problems and their schedules were not really that synchronized. Also, there were problems with the interview schedules. Ever had a group interview for an internship? I just had one kanina. I just feel I was not able to make much of an impression since there were three of us kanina. Pero ayun, I am still glad that I went.

And now, I am finally going to start studying for finance. I am already panicking since I have not yet even read the book yet! I have some catching up to do. Hay nako.... I hope I get to improve my grade. Sabi naman nila, most people get higher scores in the last long test. oh f*ck. Its always when people get high scores that I get low ones. Haha

Yan na muna.

Harry Potter 7 Front Cover
Posted at 09:25 PM

Can I just say that this day just keeps on getting better and better. It is so unlike me to post two entries on the same day, but then, I have some good great news... are you ready? The front cover of the Seventh and final installation of the Harry Potter series - HP and the Deathly Hallows has finally been revealed.

 

Harry Potter

 

My verdict: Umm... its orange? I'm not sure if I like the color or not. Haha By the way, the whole cover shows voldemort and harry in some form of duel (hermione and ron are not in the picture).. can i just say that if something bad happens to hermione, patay yang JK rowling sa akin. Anyway, ayun... it is finally here... OMG - having the cover released just makes me anticipate the book even more. waaaaah And, try looking for the british version which provides much more info about the book.

Anyway, I really have a dilemma kung saang internship ako pupunta. I have been thinking about it the whole day. Why did Standard Chartered have to call when I have already decided that I will choose Unilever? Nyeta. I am so confused.

Nga pala, something reached me (which is related to my internship), its not supposed to be "big" but then again, I just have to react. Ikaw, kilala mo kung sino ka, i could not care less about what happens to you but then I hear you spreading things about me. PWede ba, if your life is too ordinary/mediocre/boring, go bother someone else. Hahay, eto na naman ako, nang-aaway, pero the thing is, wala naman akong ginagawa. Ang tagal ko nang kebs sa iyo. Ang masasabi ko lang, gud lak sa life - after all, that combination using-freeloading-copying-cheating can only take you so far.

Enough negativity. Summer na summer... tsk tsk tsk. hay nako, i hope I get to earn a lot .... para naman mabili ko na ang aking mga gustong bilhin. *wink* haha God... i am so materialistic. bwaahahaha

I know there are still people who have other requirements/finals... good luck. Soon enough, summer will be here for all of us. Yay!

Ang pagdating ng Musa
Posted at 11:50 PM

Titig

Maraming gamit ang mga mata
Para tumingin o di kaya'y tumanaw
Maaari ring sumilip o magmasid
Ngunit higit sa lahat, tumitig.

Unang beses - ika'y tumanaw.
Ikalawang beses - ako'y tumingin.
Ikatlong beses - nagtitigan.

Alam kong gusto kita.
Alam kong gusto mo ako.
Alam mong gusto kita.
Alam mong gusto mo ako.

Yun na nga lang.
Kung iba lang ang pagkakataon.
Kung tama lang ang panahon.

First Day High
Posted at 12:00 AM

Well, I finally started working yesterday. And if you were one of the people I bugged asking for advice as to which one to choose, you would probably know that I chose... *drum roll please*

uni
Unilever

The whole experience before actually having the internship was quite stressful. It even became more stressful when I got the internship. I mean, there were a helluva lot of requirements - NBI clearance, SSS, parent's consent, medical certificate, admu endorsement, TIN and others. Ayun. I mean, its obvious that there is no one-stop-shop to get all these requirements so I had to go to various venues. And not only were my pockets lighter with all the fees and tired from all the lines, I felt so damn OLD. Ewan. Nothing makes graduation seem closer and closer than these requirements that one has to process before entering the work force.

Anyway, my stint with Unilever started yesterday and will end probably by the end of May. I had to undergo several procedures. There was the signing of the contract. There  was the security breifing (and there was even a quiz!). Then I got assigned my own cubicle, phone line, and laptop. naks. Basta, everything is like soooo professional. Pero the thing was, I wore a formal outfit. Kasi, sa Standard Chartered, dapat formal outfit so I shopped na for it. Tapos... lo and behold, semi-formal yung dress code sa Unilever - as in parang ADMU. OMFG - can you say "stick out like a sore thumb during your first day"?

Anyway, the people were great and accomodating - lalo na dahil ako lang yung natatanging intern kasi others will be starting on april 16. I have a project to work on na, as in machachallenge talaga yung skills ko sa organizing. Imagine the oscars -pero Unilever version with an estimated 1000 attendees.Challenge na talaga ito! Kaya yan! Haha And by the way, can I just say that I love the commute - I mean, I know its in Manila and all, pero its just one ride going and one ride coming back. Plus, it passes through Quiapo - can you say DVDs?

So ayun. It was kinda awkward nga lang kasi I started work on a Friday. Who the hell starts work on a Friday? Pero at least di ba, I earned money that day. Plus, there is this Mall that I have yet to explore. Anyway, I am so psyched about all of this.

Nga pala, I have this boss. And he kinda reminds me of a friend of mine from High School - Nikolai (FMS 2004). As in, super reminisce ako to the max. Sana he gives me a great evaluation by the end of this internship.

Ayun. So till the next post!
