Stephenie Meyer's new book, "The Host" was a sort of a redemption for her. Seriously.
I hated Twilight (no offense Twilight fans) because of its sickeningly sweet love story between Bella and Edward. I loved New Moon because it was just what Bella deserved: Edward abandoning her plus it had a little bit more action and plot than Twilight and S. Meyer compared Bella and Edward to my belovd R and J. Eclipse was better than Twilight though I never really liked it that much as well becuase Bella was being such a bitch and was hurting Edward too much by associating herself with Jacob whom I don't like because, well, I like Edward better.
And I was also never a fan of how S. Meyer writes. That's why I was so prejudiced against her and her Twilight books. That's why I raised my eyebrows when I saw the new book at FullyBooked. I glanced at the back cover and skimmed through the teaser and I was surprised to notice that I was a bit interested with the book. So I bought it. (And I also bought The Godfather. I have been searching for that book for over two years now).
I bought it because I wanted to see if Meyer can write beyond Bella and Edward. And if her books would have the same tired plot of starcrossed lovers. And if her characters would just be another Bella and Edward v.2.0.
Enough about Twilight.
Let's talk about The Host.
Well, I'm not yet really done with it. I'm just a quarter through it pa lang but I can really say that it has a lot of promise. Really. I'm not saying this to be mean, okay.
It would be quite tricky to write about two persons in one body but I guessed she pulled it quite well. Im guessing that the reason I like this book was because I'm a fan of all things mind-freaky, mind-bending, schizophrenia, split-personalities, etc. I like anything that involves he MIND and all the freakishness that comes along with it. I'm all for the "voices speaking in your head' thing. Though I'm quite sure Stephenie is still a long way from Chuck's Fight Club. But it's really good, sp far. Honestly speaking.
And the characters aren't Bella and Edward part 2. Melanie/Wanderer is very different from stupid Bella. Jared is different from stone-cold Edward as well. Jared will punch Melanie/Wanderer. Hell yeah. Love it. (Kidding. ABout loving the punch.. Jared will really punch Melanie/Wanderer yah know).
I'm waiting to see if the goodness that I see in the first past of the books would continue through the end. I hope it will. Because I'm also waiting to see if I'm going to be a Stephenie Meyer fan just as I am a Megan McCafferty fan.
Patty Honey and Ricky Piano vs Jessica Darling and Marcus Flutie
No. I think it's more like Patty Dove and Ricky Sullen vs Patty Honey and Ricky Piano. Aha, yeah?
I recently caught Hercules on Disney Channel too. It made me cry as well. Go The Distance is such a nice song.
I was watching the UEFA Champions League Highlight SHow awhile ago.
So I guess it's Manchester United vs Chelsea, ain't it?
Arrghhh.
It made me sad, really. That Kaka and Co. wasn't able to make it to the UEFA Champions League Finals like lat year. Sniff.
And I hope they win later. Against their rivals, Inter Milan.
Go Kaka, My Darling.
I so wanted to buy that football magazine featuring Kaka on the cover. It was a bit impractical though. It's 600 bucks, dude. For a measly magazine. I'm not that crazy, really.
For Kaka, yes. For a magazine, not really.
I'm not Milanese nor am I Italian but I'm going to say it anyway: FORZA MILAN.
PS. I havent told you anything about a friend's mohawk yet, have it? I love, love Estelle's Mohawk. It's nice. And it's also funny how people oogle at her hair. They do. They can't get over a girl (and and Atenean at that) having a mohawk.
Tss.
I like it. I'd love to cut my hair like that.
So I will.
I know how much you suffered. I know the pain you endured. I know all the psychological trauma that you underwent. So I know that it's so much better for you there.
I know it is.
So Andrey Nikolayevich Bolkonsky, I hope you're happy There. There Where The Sun Is Your Neighbor, Where The Light You Seek Ain't Too Far.
Prince Andrey was my favorite character in War and Peace. I cried and moped during his three deaths Three deaths and three re-awekening. In the last one, he succumbed to DEE.
I have realized that W and P is now my favorite book (right now). The way that Tolystoy has written it is just so amazing. The characters were just so vivid and alive that you think these people really existed and had birth certs. When Tolstoy writes about an event in the book like for example the ball where Andrey and Natasha met, you feel that you were a part of the ball yourself, that you were also wearing a ballgown and was in the presence of the Tsar. When Tolstoy wrote about Natasha's impending elopement to Anatole, you will feel yourself seething with rage and contempt for Natasha and Anatole and feeling sorry for Prince Andrey.
When you finally close W and P, you will feel sad and sorry and you'll also feel that whatever book you read now, would never, ever, ever compare to W and P. The way it's written, oh man, other writers should just mope and cry because they won't ever compare to Tolstoy.
Seriously.
For real.
I'm now reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire and so far so good but then there's this feeling in the pit of my stomach saying that it's not as good as W and P. At all.
Next on my reading list: Don Quixote. It's the number one book in the 100 Greatest Book of All Time.
No scratch that.
I hate spending time with pretentious people. So YOU should forgive me for not attending your birthday party.
AND I SWEAR! HOMAYGAWD. I WON'T EVER, EVER, EVER DO THAT IN MY REAL CONSCIOUS LIFE. I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER MAKE-UP WITH THAT GIRL.
Not in a million years. Not in a bizillion years. Not in a bijillion year. Nuh-uh. Never.
I'm a stubborn girl.
I'd love to study Brazillian Portuguese at FullyBooked but then I have summer classes and I think those classes would be held in FullyBooked at Bonifacio High Street. That's too far. Kung sa The Block lang eh okay.
I'd rather they let me transfer school. Hint: Oxie and Collie.
Hah.
Graduations are like weddings.
No matter how much you fuck uo during those two big days, who will care? You're graduating, right? You're getting married, right? And they're not.
Hah. There was a wedding yesterday at church. We arrived early so we sat in at the wedding. Then one of the church people got irritated because may 6 pm mass and the people wont leave yet. Hah.
I'll get married at St. Petersburg in Rome. Becasue that's near Milan where my husband is.
ACMILAN, You're not thinking of selling Kaka, are you?
I've started and killed lots of blog since the day I discovered the joys of blogging. Only three remains standing. Pattyrism, Annawanna and Hooliganism (LJ).
I update and keep all these blogs quite religiously. Especiall xanga. Xanga is where i exude happiness, live and breathe. Har.
It's Kaka's birthday tomorrow. I'm excited. See, the greatest and most handsome boy ever to live in this planet was born 26 years ago (tomorrow). EEEEKKKSSS. This just proves that Kaka is totally human because he has one very human quality, a birthday.
Tomorrow is Earth Day and I saw all these posters around school saying we should all wear green tomorrow. I agree. I'm going to wear my Green Kaka shirt. Eeeekksss. I'm stoked.
And I really wouldn't rest until I get my hands on those Nike Brazil football jersey.
And have you seen Nike's new ad? Roger Federer is so hot there. As in totally.
I saw that last Saturday when we were in Trinoma. And then afterwards, I went to Adidas to look for football jerseys again and then i saw a Kaka ad. Darn it. Kaka is so much hotter than Roger Federer in that Nike ad. hah.
So, now it's Adidas vs Nike, eh?
Adidas because Kaka is a spokeperson for the brand. Hah.
Teehee.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAKA! YOU'RE 26! (and 26 is my second favorite number)
EEEEEKKKKSSS.
I just found out that Kaka scored a hat trick for their victory against Reggina! Aha! That's the way Kaka.
I am so sure he read my message to him (as if)
Kaka's baby is due on May. Oh my.
And they're saying Chelsea wants to sign Kaka. I'm alright with that. I can watch him all the time at Barclays. EEEEKKKSSSS.
See the jersey he's wearing? Nike has one like that. OMG I'm going to buy that.
Teehee.
HAH.
addict, addict.
Dear (name of Crush)
Dear Kaka, C. Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Nameless Eco Classmate,Former PE Classmate, Random Nameless Guy With The Nice Hair and Nice Car Who Also Waits At The Blue Waiting Shed Near Xavier, That Guy With the Nice Nerdy Glasses, David Beckham, Edward Norton, Phil and James Younghusband, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Jim Sturgess, Gaspard Ulliel, Daniel Radcliffe, Michael Vartan, Josh Hartnett, Make Me A Supermodel Model, John Lennon, Justin Timberlake, Heath Ledger, Among Other Crushes, Etc.,
Thank you all for existing in this world. Your mere existence makes a lot of girls (and sometimes gys as well) really happy. Thank you for your nice eyes, beautiful lips, nice nose, awesome hair and altogether gorgeous faces.
I have one request though: Please stop looking so hot all the time. You all distract me from concentrating about matters of consequences. Your goodlookingness isn't really helping me at all.
Please tone down your hotness. Thank You,
Sincerely Yours,
Patty J.

i know that there's seriously something wrong with my brain. i was reading sigmund freud's collected papers and writings yesterday in the lib (while looking for bisexuality notes) and boy did i learn a lot from mr. freud. like seriously a lot. and i think that there is something wrong with my brain. it's called over-thinking. yes there is such a thing. seriously. i over-think and over-analyze everything. and i mean everything. that's why my brain is always tired. not with studying academics but with over-thinking just about everything. and sometimes that is the reason why im always quiet and wouldnt participate in any conversation because im busy analyzing everyone talking and what they are saying. and that is why sometimes, my eyes and my brain get tired. tired as in seriously tired. like pagod.
because seriously, for everything that one person say or do, there is a corresponding deeper meaning to that. i know there is. i have proven that time and again with various people i know.
and i have the uncanny ability to tell if people are lying to me. i swear i can. i have proven that too. seryoso, you wouldnt believe how much we lie to each other. we are all so fake, noh.
kaya people should be wary when they are telling their lies to me. cause i honestly can tell if they are lying. what they say isnt what's real. and i discover their lies just by listening to them. or looking at them. seriously i can tell if people are lying. and i would know im right if i have gathered enough "evidence" about it.
i have lost a lot of respect and trust to people because of this ability. i no longer trust the person that much when i discover their lies. even if they are just white lies or petty lies.
and i think i am also a master of repression and selective amnesia. haha.
i should shift to psych. but wait, i dont like the psych blocks. oh well.
can i minor in psych na lang?
our intact teacher gave us this hand put regarding shifting and minoring. i dont want to shift. duh. i want to take up a minor though. hmmn, sociology or cultural heritage/anthroplogy?
that would sound cool. bachelor of arts major in social sciences minor in sociology/cultural anthroplogy.
sounds smart, eh?
its just not the same if for example: bachelor of science major in management minor in business science or chorva..
which sounds smarter? i leave that to you.
and oh. i remember, i have this very nice book that i got very cheap from the Previously Owned Books or POB section of National Bookstore, Quezon Ave. it's about dreams and the unconsious mind. and the writings and the explanations and the drawings and the symbols were based on freud's and carl jung's works. and its nice. and i love that book. the reason that i bought that book because we need it for SEG (psyfiles). and we seniors are the psy-heads and we have to facilitate these stupid juniors and our topic was yeah dreams. and i was in nbs one time and i saw the book and i bought it and it proved useful (i guess) in explaiing some stuff to the juniors. well, the juniors werent helpful at all. their happy dreams were stupid and petty you would find any thing to explain or something. and us seniors weren helpful either though. we were all just reeling from college entrace applications and examinations so what would you expect anyway. but the book was pretty popular with my classmates though. so popular that i repeatedly have to glue it and scoth-tape it just so the cover would stay in place.
you'll really learn lots of things from that book.
and oh.
if queen jocasta is pronounced yo-kas-ta
and carl jung is pronounced carl yung
and milla jovovich is yo-vo-vich
and jancovic is yan-co-vich
should joven be yo-ven?
yon. yan. yan yuzon who?
am i still disillusioned? a little. na lang. i hope.
and i need something. i desperately need something to push me out of this pit. something that would make me happy.
in my first sem bout of the big D, pupil lifted me off the pit.
in my second sem bout of disillusionment and disenchantment, i wonder what will lift me off this stupid pothole i'm in. i swear it's not nice. being disillusioned, i mean.
but, there will always be something. something that would make me believe again.
i choose to be happy and i will be happy.
in fact, i am happy. i am just being..calloused i guess.
ahaha. i love my fairy godmother whoever she (or maybe he..he might be a gay fairy godmother) is. or she just might be my mom. she was the one who bought it eh. hoo-hoo.
i have the book. ahahaha. hah. i am so happy.
after spending something like 40 mins sa ateneo enrolling, my mom and i went to sm the block home world to look for a book shelf for my brother cause his old, rickety book shelf was falling apart with all his boring med school and pre-med school books (which are boring books by the way but greatly helped me in my zoology sojourn..two of his books were great references for my teacher's lessons and exams) then we ate at kfc at the block too (which is the best kfc branch i've seen so far not to mention cleanest) then we bought some cake and crinkles then went to fully booked.
oooohhhh. fully booked. aha. i love it.
fully booked is my favorite bookstore (alongside powerbooks, booksellers in galleria and of course national bookstore and oh yeah books for less in roces ave..so basically i have lots of favorite bookstores). it's so big. and full of books (duh). and i heard the fully booked in serendra is like three floors. can i please move over there? i also like their plastic bags. yeah its plastic unlike powerbooks' brown paper bag and bestseller's orange bag (which i use as a pe bag) but i like the writings. i actually have a collection of fullybooked bags you know. i love bookstores. i love libraries too. i love the smell of books. yun na lang.
so after looking at the cute jordi labanda notebooks and the other cute hardbound notebooks there (which i intend to buy because i like nice notebooks wherein i could take notes with a lot of fervor), i sauntered and wandered over to the vintage two-in-one books that sells for 502 pesos. i wanna buy them. really nice titles and good books. the books there were like in the list of the greatest books that im trying to put up in my walls. then i wandered to the best-sellers section where there were new books all hardbound and stuff but which i really didnt like. so i transferred to the second display table behind it and gasp! it's
fourth comings by megan mc cafferty in all its hardbound splendor. there was only one copy so i grabbed it. see the picture? may plastic pa yan. i dont wanna take it of yet.
yihee! i am so escited to read it. yikee patty.
another sleepless night for me i am sure. i will try to finish this before morning. heehaw. and then i will read it again and again and again repeatedly until i get tired of it (well i wont). normally when i read books for the first time, i will read it so fast (so i could practice my speed reading skills) and finish it so fast then read it again more slowly. is that weird or what. thats not weird. more like retarded.
the books was like 800 bucks but i really couldnt wait for the paperback edition. so i have to have it.
tee-hee.
i just discovered that i like drinking coffee. any kind of coffee. it doesnt have to be starbucks or figaro or whatever. just any coffee would do.
and then i also annoyed some laptop salesman kanina. cause my mom was asking whats a good laptop for students lang. then before the salesmen answer i'd blurt out "macbook". i want a macbook. i still do. please fairy godmother. macbook naman po. nag-please ulit ako. can i have that too. tee-hee.
the new ipod nano with video looks great. pero eww 4gb lang.
finally after a gazillion years, i uploaded the family day picture. na ayaw kong i-upload dito sa multiply. kasi ayaw ko eh. yun lang.
and oh. jeezuz kryst zuperztar. i really dont listen to OPM na talaga. as in the bands i used to like and revere, whatever. in the radio and in my ipod and itunes, puro the verve, rihanna, alicia keys, ne-yo, akon, goo goo dolls, sugar ray, pussycat dolls (tee-hee), cyndi lauper, il divo and others. haha. mixed taste. hoohoo. i kind of feel ashamed of myself that i no longer listen to opm bands these days. and when i saw the huge pupil billboard along edsa, i didnt screech in delight and cause my dad to smash in the car in front. i was just like 'whatever". and i didnt even oogle at it. cause normally i would. and i would scream and screech endlessly (and even jump if the car permits) and tell evryone in sight (meaning my mom and dad) that pupil has a billboard. im not even excited for the album launch. i was planning to go. with my sister who also used to be a huge pupil fan. but we no longer want too. and it makes me feel ashamed. and i dont know why. i should be punished. i have colonial mentality.
current favorite songs: hate that i love you (i hate that i love hate that i love you...o.gets?), bitter sweet symphony, sweetest girl which sounds a lot like matisyahu's king without a crown, and oh yeah, wont go home without you (im listening to it right now).
i just realize that i love my yoga linen pants. im not sure if its really a yoga pants but its so comfortable eh. or maybe i could call it a hippie pants because it made me feel like a hippie while i was walking around kanina.
i told my sister to buy me an oatmeal bar at stc. as a reward for me for making her costume. she did buy me one kahapon. i love it. that was like my favorite dessert in stc after a huge baon of siomai (and rice) or dory fish or whatever. i notice that all my baon in highschool especially in fourth year were like sobrang dami (kaya ang taba ko). may big lunch with maraming kanin and ulam then for recess, isang brown paper bag filled with sandwich na malaki, cookies/biscuits and chocolates or candies (kaya ang taba-taba ko. tsk.) i blame my mom for making me so huge. tsk. kaya yung iba, i share or give to others. (pero walang effect, mataba pa rin ako). anyway, the 15 pesos oatmeal bar in stc were my fave. i eat it also during physics when i feel tired after studying vectors with a not so competent teahcer teaching a very hard subject. and my sister's classmates who pass by our classroom saw me stuffing a half oatmeal bar in my mouth and they told her and my sister asked me hindi daw ba ako natatakot baka mahuli ako ng teacher at ang tapang ko daw. syemps. yung iba nga kanin ang kinakain sa classroom eh. i am expecting another oatmeal bar from her later. then i will eat the cake we bought. excited na ko mag pataba ulit. (tsk.)
i am playing il divo's o holy night right now. malapit na christmas eh.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY. o ang aga ko noh.

oh please i want this book.
it was just recently released in the US of A so malamang wala pa dito.
oh please oh please oh please. i want this book.
please fairy godmother, please sana mag-arrive na siya sa philippines sooner or later. please.
fourth comings is well the fourth book in the jessica darling series which i so, so, so love to bits.
you wouldn't understand how much i adore the book. and how much i revere marcus.

but i think this is the face of the real marcus flutie (if ever he exists)

sloppy firsts

the first book. you have to read it. you just have to. you are so missing a lot. i remember, twas junior year when i first read it. and then my classmates were so curious with this book (malamang kasi dahil sa cover and title which i think they thought for a moment na about ito sa sex..you could guess from their faces and curiosity. seryoso. kahit yung mga akala kong hindi nagbabasa ng libro, nagtanong sa akin kung tungkol saan yung book. sabi ko, about teenage life. well, they were greatly disappointed.)
second helpings

jessica gets more hostile, cynical and acerbic. i think for awhile, during my senior year, i adapted or channeled the jessica darling spirit in some way. hostile, sarcastic and acerbic. read my xanga blog and browse through my er jessica darling phase.
charmed thirds

oh please fairy godmother (if you exist. if not...uhm, tooth fairy would do), please give me this book. puh-lease. puh-lease. next best thing is...sana dumating siya sa pilipinas as soon as possible. please.
i said please. now can i have it?
my favorite book in the series so far. jessica goes to college, jessica breaks up with marcus (gasp!) for a short while (2 years ata) then got back together, jessica goes to columbia university (another dream univ for me..as if!), jessica grows up, jessica takes marcus back into her life,... "i wish our love was right". just read it folks. just read it. i swear you wont regret it.five weeks since i last uploaded.
i am so sorry my hooligan friend. busy with other blogs.
visit my xanga and multiply. thanks. i love you all.
uaap. "it's just basketball" my mom says. "there's always a next time" my dad says.
well, for me.. it's not just basketball. hell. it's it's it's i dont know. basta.
if you know me really really really well.. for me it's not that okay.. it's not that fine.
i take my basketball seriously even though i dont know how to play.
since second year high school, nahumaling ako sa basketball dahil yes you guessed right.. dahil kay number 17 ng ateneo.
actually when i was in grade six, when the ateneo blue eagles won the championship..when there was all that hulabaloo and hype about the blue eagles (cause i think they ended the 4 peat championshgip ng lasalle nun eh) when wesley gonzales, gec chia and the other blue eagles were at STC (kasi pinapanood nila mga kapatid at kamag-anak nila sa stc eh) for the family day and all the girls were like going goo-goo-ga-ga over them and asking for their autogrpahs and pictures and nakasabay kong bumili ng iced tea si wesley sa TGI Friday's booth (which my aunt brought to stc) and pinagkaguluhan na naman at nung mag first year hs na ko and all the people were like "ateneo or lasalle" and i dont know what to answer cause di ako makarelate kasi hindi naman ako nanonood ng uaap tapos nakakainis sila dahil feeling dahil hello di naman kayo atenista or lasllista nag aaway pa kayo sa school... i said WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT UAAP? wala pa kong pake during that time.
but nung second year ako, when i was sitting in front of the tv and doing my dummy keyboard, i accidentally tuned in to channel 17... studio 23..home of uaap. then i said.. ano ba itong hype sa uaap? makanood nga to see. then the game coincidentally was an ateneo-lasalle game... and and and OMG nakilala ko kung sino si chris tiu. simula nun nanood na ko ng UAAP, PBL, PBA, NBA and other basketball shows and talagang you could say i was smitten with the whole basketball craze. (at least i could say i am not one of those posers who ride on sa fame ng world cup.. mga feeling footbal fanatics kaagad matapos lang yung world cup..tss yeah right)
i would ask my yayas to watch ateneo vs lasalle, ateneo vs whatever game sa studio 23 kapag 2:00 yung game ang nasa school pa ko. and talagng if you knew my yayas they'll be the first to tell you that i was smitten with chris tiu. and the whole basketball world na rin. suddenly, i just found myself watching all these baskteball shows and learning all about fouls, plays, basketball terms and others. suddenly i just found myself screaming at the tv or at no particular person when the team i'm supporting is losing.
so it's not surprising if you would see me in araneta (or in my home) jumping up and down and screaming my lungs out. lalo na sa bahay. humihiga pa ko sa floor pag natatalo team na gusto ko. and pagagalitan ako kasi ang ingay ko daw. eh ano ba? tss.
kaya kaya kaya..sobrang lungkot ko kahapon and seriously.. i cried sa banyo paguwi ko (nakakahiya pag sa araneta diba). (kasi masakit din katawan ko eh.. dahil sa arnis. bwisit and oh... grabe black na balck ata mga pasa ko kahapon. well magaling mga kalaban ko eh. di nga ako nanalo eh) and started kicking everything in site. sorreh. since nagyon, full fledged atenista na ko..ang sakit pag natalo.. ang pangit ng feeling diba. DIBA? sayang yung championship.. sayang lahat ng games. grabe naawa ako sa blue eagles kahapon. lalo na kay tiu, baclao and arao. sniff.
i hate lasalle. yabang. 392..488.. YABANG. at least we passed the acet..YOU didn't mga bwisit. boo. ue dapat manalo.
raissa, we wont see each otyher sa finals pala. sniff. nakakalungkot.
nalulungkot pa rin ako hanggang ngayon.
HOY ANG SARAP MAGING ATENISTA noh?
hay lab et. we won we won we won. and we will win again and we will win again and we will win again. on sunday on sunday on sunday.
today is tiu's day noh?
i really thought we'd lost but.. MAGALING TALAGA SI CHRIS TIU EH.
hahahahaha.
haylabet
haylab the blue eagles.
kita kits sa araneta!
and sa championship hahaha
itong nakaraang linggo, naganap ang acet o ang ateneo college entrace test. marahil mga libu-libong fourth year high school students sa buong pilipinas ang kumuha nito. hmmn. ano kaya ang nadama nila noon? ako. may sipon ako noon eh. sobrang kabado. sobrang.excited din.
late na pero gusto kong mag share ng karanasan ko nung mga entrance tests ko.
upcat: bago ako mag upcat, may 50th birthday celebration pa tatay ko at yung younger sister ko, 14th birthday din niya nun. so habang kumakain ng litson ant ng iba pang masarap na putahe, nag-ka-cram ako para sa upcat. pero kunwaring cram lang yun. pasikat lang yun sa relatives and visitors. nagpapaka genius ako noon. pero ang totoo enjoy na enjoy lang naman ako sa pagkain ng litson. so nung araw na ng upcat ko, sobrang aga akong ginising at hinatid sa palma hall. lahat ng gamit ko hawak ng mommy ko. kasama ko siya sa pila. para ngang mas excited pa siya sa kin na magtest. actually parang lahat anta ng magulang ang excited pagnag tetest mga anak nila. masa excited pa sa anak nila. sila pa yung nakapila ng mas maayos. o ayon. akala ko mainit room ko kasi up yun eh. state university. konti lang budget. e di akala ko walang aircon. mali. meron. malamig. tapos yung isang proctor, sobrang baho ng damit niya tapos daan pa siya ng daan sa harap ko. bwisit. di ako maka concentrate. eh ang baho ng damit niya. so ayun. medyo pinagtawan ko lang naman ang test ng up. mahirap kasi. kaya tinawanan ko na lang. pag labas ko ng examination room, sabi ng magulang ko, naka smile daw ako. parang nadalian daw ako. sabi ko oo. (ows. bat di ka pumasa?) ang totoo nun, mahirap talaga. dinaan ko na lang sa smile at tawa. (ah the power of smile). tapos pag dating namin lahat sa school, upcat lang ang pinagusapan. pati mga answers. as if may tulong pa yun tapos na eh. tapos nung release of results sa internet. sobrang bagal kahit dsl ka pa. nakakirita tuloy. tapos dumating ako sa joven. 3 ang joven. wala ako doon. (yahoo kasi ayaw ko talaga mag up. gusto ko yung kapit bahay niya doon sa katipunan). pero syempre, nakakalungkot pa rin. kasi ibig sabihin nun di ako good enough or maatlino enough para makapasa doon. so konting sadness din na may halong happy-happy-joy-joy.
*bakit halos all-filipino ang entry ko? kasi may hang-over ako sa fil paper ko. nakaka nosebleed yung tula.*
acet: before mag acet may retreat ang iv4 na may halo halong bukingan ng life stories, love life, all the hurts and pains and other secrets and chuvaloo. since sama sama kami sa isang building na para na ring dorm,, halo-halo ang sipon at iba pang sakit. (eww) kaya may sipon ako nung acet. as in tumutulo yung sipon (hoy pero may tissue ako nun noh. isang box pa) ang singhot nang singhot. nainis siguro yung koreanong katabi ko. tapos. di aircon yung mga hs classroom..mainit. tapos. suot ko blue. tapos sa upcat maroon. haha. color coordinated para ma-imbibe ang schools spirit. then kasama ko si megan z sa pila nun. and other theresians. then pumasok na sa rooms. uy maayos sila in fairness. may seating arrangement pa. o tapos mahirap ang test. lalo na yung sa math. eh dalawang parts pa yung sa math. o paano naman yun. medyo okay yung 1st part ng math. yung pangalawa, 5 minutes to go wala pa ko sa kalahati. kaya ayan. nasa math 1 ata ako. afetr nung test. pagod ako. then nung nakuha na yung results, oh oh oh. sobrang di ako mapakaii. kasi isa kong classmate, nag text sa kin na uy bukas na results ng acet. so nag panic ako. at nangulit ng tao at oo the next day an daw yung results. grabe di ako makatulog. tappos para ma-imbibe ko ang atenean spirit, pinatugtog ko over the loudspeaker yung album ng spongecola ang kjwan. tapos nag dasal. it worked. dahil the next day, tumawag mom ko sa admu. sinabing nakapasa ako. tumalon talon ako sa buong bahay. nabulabaog lahat ng tao. pero di pa ko kontento dun. pumunta pa kami ng dad ko sa blue egle gym para makita list ng nakapasa. and aha. andun pangalan ko.yehey. tapos pag pasaok ko sa school,lahat kaming pumasa sa ateneo, tuwang tuwa and mayabang ang dating. sa sobrang tuwa, wala na kong paki sa intrams. and sa the rest ng school days. tinamad na ko promise.pero ngayon, bawal mag tamad tamad sa ateneo. aha.
ustet.: masasabi ko lang, ang daming nag test dun na kasabay ko. pati mga nakikita ko lang sa simbahan, nakita ko din dun. madali din yung test. parang mastery test lang ng stc (ang yabang ko talaga). pero totoo naman. hindi na ko nag yellow shirt. kasi wala akong yellow shirt eh. and lahat naman daw nakakapasa. ayun. tapos nung binigay yung letters of acceptance, halos lahat sa clase meron nung yellow paper. uyy. lahat naman tuwang tuwa. (teka. may hindi ba nag exam sa ust sa iv4? lahat na ata sila nandun eh
i miss iv4). and then maeron pa kong dinaluhan na miting ng mga top 100 daw na nakapasa sa AB sa ust. may kasama akong two other theresian na costaffer sa mag. eic ko pa nga yung isa. tapos natawa ako. dahil ako top 100? yeah right. sobrang ang laking PARIKALA nun. haha. tapos. confirmed na daw kami dahil umatend kami. yeah right. pfuit.
dlsucet.:kelangan pa ba ko magkwento dito? o anyway. mahirpa ang exam. pero ginago ko. kaya ginago din ako nung results. pumasa ako pero akala ko di ako pumasa kasi dun sa stupid text messaging. bwiist sabi di daw ako pumasa (maraming beses ako nag text nun) so kinabahan ako kasi kung lasalle di ako pumasa, pano pa kaya sa ateneo at up diba? eh pinadalan din naman pala ako nung napakalaki nilang primer na tinabi ko sa basurhan sa school. sorry katabi ko basurahan sa school eh. isa din kasi akong malaking basura ayon sa nagayos ng seatplan. tapos.yun. di lahat pumasa sa exam. at bwisit kasi yung dalawang essay lalo na yung tagalog portion. bwisit. diba. waste of time. joke lang. isa lang sa iv4 ang naglasalle. si leanna. hi leanna. DL ka diba?
o ayan. mga kwentong entrance exams chuvaloo. wala lang. i feel nostalgic. feeling ko, sumasabak ako ulit sa mga exam exam na yan. at oo, ayaw ko nang mag final exam sa zoo. okay na ko sa grade ko. very high na for me. B+. sana tumaas pa ng A dahil sa bonus. o sana maging A++++. meron bang ganun?
malapit nang mag-end ang first sem... yehey(!) or (?) anyway.. ano kaya natsci ko? dapat madali lang. and yes, classmate ko pa rin eng and fil classmates ko ngayon. yehey.
at oo. nabasan na ulit ng 4 pounds timbang ko in three months. so in six months, i lost 21 lbs already. sobrnag okay na hindi. kasi the first three months, 17 lbs kaagad. tapos the rest nung 6 months, the last three months, 4 lbs. lang. ang konti noh. di kasi ako nakakapagjogging. hala sa sem break.. back to exercising ulit. yes. sana matupad ko.
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. the glam life, ei. tss.
the more i'm with them.,.. the more that i feel that i dont belong. fuck that. i feel a wall between all of us. am i the only one who feels the same?? or they feel the same way too????
what is wrong with moi?
holy shit i hate this.
i feel melancholy and sad. AGAIN.
i'm surrounded by imposters everywhere i turn.
yes one tree hill.
i'm sad the whole series is over.
the clouds were huge cotton balls that wiped away my tears.
the sun was a huge beach ball that scorched my hand when i tried to bounce it away from me.
the star winked at me from up above, telling me everything will be okay.
the moon was my lamplight, my hand of glory that gave me light last night.
the stupid printer puttered away, printing my life on paper.
she kissed you with her cold, dark, life-less lips. wouldn't you rather i kiss you with my dark red, full-of-life lips. she hugged you with her cold bony skeletal hands. wouldn't you like to just borrow my jacket instead?
oh wait i don't have a jacket.
why am i being artsy fartsy today?
damn. i just cant get hold of those cool metaphors. i cannot for the life of me create one that is good enough. jeeeez. trying hard ka patty.
anyway, bukas.. for sure.. luluhod ang mga tala. at kakain ako ng saging na walang puso. wahaha.
uhm. what's wrong with me?
cool metaphor: para kang carinderiang bukas sa lahat ng gustong kumain.
dead metaphors: nakakatae ba ang pwet ng baso? nahihilo ba ang elesi ng electric fan? nakakalakad ba ang paa ng upuan?
wahaha. funny. those are from my fil teacher. except the elesi. that was mine. =)
i wanna write poems. good poems. as in those that do not suck at all.
continue to dream a dream chickadees.
saan ang tungo mo mahal kong kaibigan...??
that's the dawn's iisang bangka tayo. i love that song. remnds me so much of fourth year hs.
i thought that this day is going to be mentally draining because of two consecutive long quizzes in my zoology lecture and zoology lab. phew. buti na lang both got cancelled. okay lang na sa monday pa. at least we got a weekend to prepare.
i think i am like the boy in the bread of salt and the chaser. i keep on deceiving myself. which is not really a particularly nice characteristic.
pupil's album is coming out soon and i am counting on this to boost my morale and happiness meter. because i love this band to pieces. i adore this band.
i feel so whatever today. i wanna write poems. i wanna continue the short story that i started way back in fourth year hs. i wanna write seriously again. i wanna write.
i wanna live happily and normally again.
i wanna go back.
is someone getting the best of me?
no.
thank god i am not the only one depressed. one of my good friend is also depressed.
and oh. DO I REALLY LOOK LIKE I'M TAKING ANTI-DEPRESSANTS? honey, wherever did you get that crazy idea. okay fine. that entry probably sound like i am taking anti-depressants. I'M NOT. i dont need to. black chocolate is my anti depressant.
why am i depressed? because no one has yet gotten the best of me... or i havent gotten the best of someone yet. and when will that time come? i feel terrible lonely and sad in a world where everyone keeps mentioning their best friend and special someone as if daring me to also tell them i have those two people. ts. peyton's right. there are a gazillion people in this world. and all you need is 1. for me. all i need are two people. the one i could rightfully call my best friend and a special someone. no one has yet earned the right to be called these two things in my life. YET. i will find them. and they will find me.
i am currently feeling limerence towards this certain person. this is stupid. i like it anyway. now i have a reason for what i feel right now. or what i don't feel
this week has been physically, emotionally and mentally draining. i intend to sleep tomorrow once i get back from school. and rightfully so since i will be having a long quiz in lecture and lab for zoology tomorrow. that is so awsome.(not)
so far. i am not yet back. to my old self that is. i am awaiting that day.
and oh. the only thing that associate my blockmates and i to each other is that yeah we're taking up SOCIAL SCIENCES (OR SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPLOGY.. a fancier name for our course) but we're all ANTI-SOCIAL.. i think. and oh we're all orgless. that is so cool noh. wahaha
and why should i think about them. they dont think about me so why should i right? they dont need me, i dont need them. the one thing i hate about myself is that i think too much. think about so much stuff.
i wanna cry.
no just kidding. i wanna sleep.
and yeah. black chocolate does the trick
and oh i am not taking up anti depressant. :)
