People Power
I'm doing our project in economics - or at least, i'm pretending to do it.It's all about Philippine Trade Relations with the EU. I was looking for info and stumbled upon this from the DTI website (I partly work for this agency all because of the essay thing before.. haha..)
Why the Philippines?
Quality Manpower and Resources
The Filipino workforce is one of the most compelling advantages the Philippines has over any other Asian country. With higher education priority, the literacy rate in the country is 94.6% - among the highest. English is taught in all schools, making the Philippines the world's third largest English-speaking country. Every year, there are some 350,000 graduates enriching the professional pool.
For real? Please tell me I'm not hallucinating.
I have this unwavering faith in my people, but seriously, where is the 94.6% you're talking about? Where are those 350,000 graduates "enriching" the professional pool?
So no classes yesterday- because of the state of emergency.
Apparently,most of those who belong to the 94.6% are not exactly the smart, sane bunch that I imagined. They just happen to know how to read and right.
Why the Philippines?
You see, all my life, I have never wished to be something else like American, Japanese or French (although I am in love with their culture). I have always been proud of our heritage, and I'm even prouder to have grown with a family that treasures Filipino values and idealism.
My grandparents and relatives would always recount their bittersweet days during the martial law. I am so proud to know that my parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles have been part of the thousands who marched in the streets for democracy.
I have an uncle who got kicked out of school because of student activism. wagi diba?
I envy my older cousins everytime they recall how they viewed the EDSA revolution, perched on their dads' shoulders. People Power to them then meant nuns and soldiers holding hands in prayer. Teachers, construction workers, drivers- everyone then knew that they had an important role to fill, and they were doing something really worthy.
In my family, I have been taught to be fully responsible as a young citizen. I may not exactly be a model student, but at least I am aware of how much i owe my country. I was more idealistic when i was younger. Back then- entertainment meant the news and quality reading meant the Constitution and The Revised Penal Code.
That was a long time ago.
Now, I'm a bit older, and just as I thought that I know more, things don't make much sense to me anymore.
I used admire people like Satur Ocampo, Randy David, Teddy Casino...
But do they know better?
Is there really a cause?
Are they really fighting for democracy?
Or are they merely abusing it?
Two years ago, i made a promise to myself-
I shall never march in the streets again,
unless I see that it's for a cause truly worth fighting for.

It was Thursday night. No, make that Friday morning - 1 am. I was in my normal panic mode- Friday was supposed to be the day scheduled for the Humanities, FM and ADCHEM tests.
Panalong combination no?
Oops, idagdag mo pa ang French test.
I haven't studied for anything because of the gosh-darn French projects. Well, I started working on them the week before, but I've been soo busy during the past days. Need i say more? Haggard to the max.
I was arguing with Mutti. I really wanted to stay home on Friday. I can't take those tests- the AdChem test! And I can't pass a half-baked project in French.
Grade Consciousness, my dears, is inevitably the root of all delinquency.
Hours later- 4 am. I told Mutti, I really don't want to go to school on the account that my right eye was swollen (from all the crying and from not sleeping for a week and from squinting too long at the monitor because i misplaced my glasses).
Dumali na naman ang Alibi Queen.
So, I called Salvo and told him not to pass by our house anymore. After that, I guiltily went back to sleep.
6:13- I woke up to the shrieks of my phone. It was Janica.
"Ui walang pasok!!!"
God loves me sooo much.
I know, from a totally selfish and silly point of view - nagkaron ng state of emergency dahil tinamad akong pumasok.
The night before Mutti was telling me to "chill" and take a few minutes to pray. Now, I'm so sorry that I said, "I don't have time for that! I need to study for Adchem.."
Ang sama ko no?
God is so loving especially to those who don't deserve His love.
The same goes for all of us and for our country. We've been through a lot. We're all still here.

Dia de Campaniera
Dia de Campanierachuvaness lang. hindi pa rin nawawala ang zutness mode. anyway, i still feel dead. you get that feeling? you're ever so peacefully walking by yourself, then someone stabs you, then- hush.
what a boring day.
gad.
if only i knew na retain lng grade ko sa english edi sana, tumahimik na lang ako kanina- recite to death pa naman ako.
shet na malagkit.
in between recounting the last moments of fortunato, i was constantly bugging Volta.
"Volta, depressed pa rin ako. Gusto ko ng churros."
three kinds of ironies? yada-yada-yada..
"Volta, iba na craving ko- kwek-kwek naman. wait, iniihaw ba yun?"
drinking is a part of the european culture. in the phil. provinces.. blah..blah.
"Shet, Volta gusto ko ng Onion Rings ng New York Fries & Dips"
"Ay,pinipig na lang.."
"um, in season ba ang sinigwelas ngayon?"
B.S. talaga oh..
anyway, the only exciting part of the day would have to be the start of the campaign season. syempre, pinahamak na naman ako ni dearest rufus (Miguel Ruffy; a.k.a. Ma. Eloisa Florinda Ruffy) at ginawa akong campaign eklavu.
Shockness.
I didn't know na partymate na si Pauline.
Wait- ang laswa pakinggan ng partymate.
O talagang twisted lang ang utak ko?
anyways, ok lang. It's been a loong time. Nakalimutan ko na ang kababawang issue. Haha. She's ok naman.
O diba? Syempre, I want to leave the school being in good terms with the incoming seniors.
Heck, ala-una na ng umaga.
Gusto ko talaga ng churros!
Kahit yung Dulcinea kind.

Je ne sais pas.
Je ne sais pas.Je ne sais pas.
Je ne comprends pas.
Ewan.
Ang tragic ng prom ko. Ewan ko sa inyo, but that was me in my side of the world. Na-take ko ang maagang pagkalagas ng kilay ko,and all the pain from walking and dancing in heels, pero ito ang di ko kinaya...
"What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you..."
Juice ko pong pineapple!
Ano ka ba? Ambagal mo boy!
Last dance effect na sana - at nagmaldita ang lola mo at mega reject ng dance dahil hinihintay lang kita.
Lumipas ang first decent slow song, kasayaw mo si close friend. Ok lng,last dance ang habol para memorable kuno. kuno.
Panira ka ng moment ko!!! Feel na feel ko pa naman si hair extension, at ang mega magenta gown.
So nung patapos na, nag-emote na ang lola habang katabi kong natutulog si Katta. Puchang buhay. Minsan-minsan mo na nga lang itotodo ang kagandahan mo, dededmahin ka pa ng kumag na to
At nang tumugtog na ang lifehouse factor na yan...
Nooooo... Na-crush ang heart ng lola nyo. May-i-grab me naman ang mga kapwa bitter na sila Dea, Volta, Casti at Anjo. Circle of bitterness ito.
Friend: Ano ka ba?! Nanjan c *chuvaness*...
ME: Hay nako leche, lumapit siya dito..
Friend: Gaga. Wag mo talikuran, bka di ka nya marecognize dahil kay wiggy effect!
ME: Gago ba siya?! Kanina pa kami nagkakakitaan..
Friend2: Ui. last dance na to, ung isang chuvaness nanjan din..
ME: wis ko na feel...
Friend2: matapos maghabulan effect, wis na?
ME: Oo, leche talaga.
wagi noh?
lecheng lifehouse yan.
Nung nag-lights on na...
Magkasama kami ni close friend at picture effect sila ni bestfriend nya.. Hallur parang dun lng narealize ni *chuvaness* yung ginawa niya.. or rather, yung hindi niya ginawa...
*chuvaness*: (Ting!) Uy, sorry pala.. Shet! (ui, ngaun lng ata nagmura to)Sorry tlg.
ME: (ever sarcastic smile) Ok lng..
*chuvaness*: hindi eh. sorry tlg. Andami ko ngang di nasayaw eh.. May-i-enumerate ang gagong to ng mga names ng di nasayaw..
sige pa, sana sinapak mo na lng ako diba?!
ME: (sarcastic ulit)Aba! sorry ha.. isa lng naman pala ako sa lupon ng mga babaeng di mo nasayaw.. sorry, pinahaba ko pa yung pila!
*chuvaness*: ui, indi ganon.. kasi sasabihin mo n nman na sinadya ko..
ME: sige na tapos na eh..
*chuvaness*: sorry talaga! gusto mo magsayaw tayo sa school?!
(cute sana..pero di matitinag ang drama ko..)
ME: tapos na nga..
*chuvaness*: kahit walang tugtog..
ME: hinabol lng...
*chuvaness*: may ibang chance pa naman eh
(asa.)
ME: sana nandun tayo parehas..
*chuvaness*: ui,promise na talaga...sorry na..(sabay playful poke w/the elbows..ano ako? kumpare ba ito?)
walk out na ang curlz and nailz ko after nun...
asa namang malalaman nya to. kasalanan ko pa ba yun? hindi naman sa umasa effect, pero sna kasi may isang salita ang mga tao jan. day before that, awayan and naganap and it was our only chance to patch up.
hay nako... sinasabi ko sa inyo, minsan dapat nakikinig din tayo kay ma'am quintal. eto na lang..enjoy the gift of singlehood o single-ness ba yun?!

Le Affair
Le AffairPhysics: 3 misconceptions on Energy/ Rotational Motion and Gravity
English: Plans for "english camp"

PE: Tango!!!
Pinoy: radioplay

zutness of the world!
Anyway, to calm ourselves amidst the foreboding zutness of the coming week, Carlo and I had one of our impromptu late night sessions.
Grabe. It's been two years.
It feels good, tough. Finally, we have closure (or something like that). I'm glad we can talk face to face again and laugh at the stupid things we did waaaaay back in our Archi days. Grandslam kasi!
haay.. We stayed in KFC for hours, as in we were the only ones left in the second floor. We were laughing like crazy reminiscing about the fun, zut-free times, especially the Dalton days.
There's comfort in remembering things of the past, and joy in discovering new things about each other. So I have to admit, kahit na gusto kong patayin si Casti minsan dahil halimaw siya sa math, he'll always be a very special friend effect. Grabe! One in a million.
I don't think I'll ever find another friend who hates tomatoes in the same way as i absolutely abhor frogs. Rational. Irrational. Ewan. That's why we click siguro. Parehong twisted ang mga utak namin.
Who would have thought na magiging grandslam mates pa tayo after not talking for the longest time? Before we head for college, and eventually for France, eto muna.
Don't ever forget pink lemonade and fries! Kahit na kalimutan mo na yung "it" part.
Don't ever forget the Mammothz volleyball hype. Remember Death Strike and Twilight Onion? Don't ever forget our watercolor sessions during Earth Sci class! Remember the day we made a lagoon at the back row?
haaay, gago ka talaga Casti!
from The Pen, Mammothz, Radical Tree Friends and now, the GC lane.
Thanks for everything and good luck, el presidente!

gah!
what were you thinking?
so i don't hate you...
but what's this?
"
how dare you quote Yellow.
why are men like this?
excusez-moi.
i know this is way too sappy, but i have my period right now (aaaaagghh!!! run! run!) and i am just way too confused and frustrated.
yuck.
excusez-moi. this is really kadiri...

Kabanata XXXVIIAng Hiwagaan
Lagpas na sa ika-12 ng hatinggabi...
E, di ayan...Lumipas din ang araw. Ganun lang yun kabilis. Hindi ko siya hinintay, at hindi ko siya dinibdib. Mas mahalaga ang susunod na petsa dahil, ta-daaa, ngayon ang kaarawan ni Brandon Boyd na dati ko ring sinamba-samba.
Mabalik tayo sa mga kapighatian at kahungkagan ng kahulugan ng mga rosas.
Ano ba?
heto ka na naman, James. Balik sa phase one.
I. Ipipilit ko sa sariling ako'y peminista, samakatuwid, hindi ko kailangan ng lalake.
(oo, Mia.. nasabi nyo na noon na isa itong maling paniniwala.) Sabihin na lang nating mas nananalig ako sa aking sariling kapasyahang sumaya.
Magkagayun man, hindi pa rin ito totoo.
(James, nakakalimutan mong life-support mo ang sangkalalakihan.)
hay nako. wag niyo na subuking ibigay ang depinisyon ng katagang "pathetic". alam ko na yan, at natunghayan ko na ang ilang daang halimbawa.
II. eto na ang explanatory part...
eto naman kasi ang walanghiyang Salvo <- ang aming driver, matiwasay akong nakaupo sa kotse habang nagtetext marathon, nang buksan niya ang radyo at inilipat ang talapihitan sa istasyong di ko na maalala.
senti music.
ayos lang. masisikmura naman.
"Love Will Lead You Back.." <- ayos! bitter mode ba ito?
sabay..
"Dear Joe, I've been trying to recover from a failed relationship but no matter what i do.. (insert sappy lines here)"
waaaaa!!!!!
waaaaa!!!!!
excusez-moi.
Mahabaging langit. Ewan ko ba! Nakasusulasok na ngang araw-araw makatanggap ng pagbibitter ng mga tao sa text, at ngayon heto pa...
walangjo!!! Love Notes with Joe D'Mango.
Juice ko pong pineapple!
Naisip ko tuloy, "Magiting ka joe! Bangis mo boy!"
Pano ko magagawang makinig sa mga kapighatian ng mga taong malapit nang magpakamatay dahil lamang sa lab?
Juice ko.
Juice ko pong pineapple talaga.
Ano ba naman to?
Marami pa kayong dapat gawin!
Project sa electronics...
Tambak ang labada...
UPCAT results...
exchange rates...
III. Ang konklusyon:
wagi ka, joe!
salamat nga pala sa Cu sa torture kaninang lunch. Kala ko ba gwapo? San dun?

pain all over.
pain all over.hello loveys!
i just want to say na isa na akong ganap na athlete-athletan!
details to follow! (maniwala na lang kayo na oo, naglalaro ako ng volleyball, at oo! nanalo nga kami ng 2nd place sa recently concluded and ever prestigious Hi-Y sportsfest! wagi noh?)
right now, i feel pain all over.
nadagdag sa aking collection of bruises ang isang pasa sa braso, isa sa left thigh at isa pa sa left knee bunga ng aking extreme sugurin-ang-bola drama.
at syempre, hindi mawawala ang eternal pain sa um, intangible parts of my being.
thanks to janica (na nagpunta pa kahapon para sa moral support! love you, girl!), i'm finally learning to change. she's taught me na walang patutunguhan ang aking pagpapakabato. sure, napakavocal namin and all sa pagiging flirt-campers, but nothing goes beyond that.
well, right now - i'm scared. who wouldn't be? after two years, you can't let it all gush out just like that. but... as in BUT, i can't get it out of my system.
enough. enough. enough.
candice jokes, "ano'ng meron ang taong happy?"
"boys."
sometimes, though, i think that my world could have been more peaceful without them.

this has been driving me crazy for the past two days... eLouai.com It's so cute! You can make thousands of dolls in the latest designer wear. Ang saya. Syempre, I have unleashed all the kikay-ness in me, and I even made my own doll. (see previous post)but i've been keeping my babaw stuff and my deep stuff in equilibrium. at the same time, i have updated my poetry (shit) blog wandering-girl.blogspot.com yeaaa, it's actually very cheesy, but who cares? i badly need to release all these streams of consciousness so that i can concentrate better in adchem.

sanctuario
eto na. something very tragic happened today, which i'd rather not talk about. i have bleen slaving over my drawing board for the past week designing gowns for my friends. (lubusin nyo na hanggang libre. after 10 years ko na kayo sisingilin!)anyway, i'm so glad i stumbled upon this site today. matapos lumafang ng curry-flavored Libby's corned beef, i fell asleep for 4 straight hours. Rejuvanated na ang lola!
and here's my latest sanctuary... Badinggerzie.blogspot.com mabuhay! mabuhay ang sangkabaklaan!
well, my head is still cloudy from oversleeping, so i just cannot squeeze some sense out of it. maybe later, maybe never.
