boredom costs me much

i am here at the rizal study foyer (hehe, weird, school's over but i still hang out here.) well, i am just trying to save my allowance / my resources from drying out.

i am so damn bored at the dorm. all my roommates went home already. for the past two days, i've been shopping and with shopping, of course, comes spending. aarrggh.. (too much, teng. stop spending) last thursday : the official day of summer:, i was with kare in tutuban. but before that, since it was her lola's birthday, i ate lunch with her family at a chinese resto in malate. ( i guess..) i love tutuban, my 1500 bucks went far - i was able to buy two pants, two quite 'summery' tops, a white belt and a super cute pink board shorts. woohoo, so satisfied with my buys except for that board shorts. when i fit it at the dorm, aargghh, ni hindi kasya sa legs ko. huhu, have i grown that fat? no, no, i looked at the tag and it said there, "kids kids kids" oww-key teng. stupid me i didnt even wonder why the sizes are in 10, 12, etc etc.

yesterday naman,, i went to rob metro east to buy a pair of sandals. as expected i bought not just what i "scheduled"(whatever)/set to buy. wehe.. :) i wanted to watch a movie - either butterfly effect or the grudge 2 - but i was scared to watch those movies alone. so i had no choice but to walk around the mall, i think about three times. yeah right.

hmm, for today, what to do? what to do? (ehem, ehem,, mantra). i still am not sure. i might:

1. go to kalay to see yeye. tambay lang. or ;
2. go to national bookstore and read books there. (uy, nagpapaka-bookworm)
3. go to the mall and shop ( oh no, not again!)
4. stay here at rsf and surf the net the whole f*ckin boring day. (hmm, pwede rin)
5. watch a movie ( with whom? i still dont know)
6. drink and get drunk ( not a good idea. i dont drink when im depressed) :(

for tomorrow, my choices are still the ones enumerated above. the life of a bum sucks.
for monday, jay promised to teach me how to commute through mrt, lrt. woohoo, jay, if you're reading this, PLEASE dont back-out. you're gonna save me from boredom.

today is my 18th birthday. woohoo.

ha,, im so happy i got a guitar for my birthday. as ive said, "im a step ahead to being a rockstar." hehe, kidding. i still have a long long way to go before i get to that. (ehem, ehem, -- but i would be happier if i get a 6600 and a new laptop) nyikes, materialistic eh.

i had lunch with the family at peking garden (glorietta). the food was yummy and quite exotic (hehe.). they served deepfried 'peking head' ( as in you could see the beak). - whatever, sorry - -i dont know what you call it so 'peking head' nalang. i didnt try the sea cucumber because it looked slimy. ok, ok 'nuff.

after lunch, we had a sort of a mini-program. mama was even insisting that papa and i had the "first dance." whatever, the music coming from the rented karaoke sucks. what happened was that everyone gave me a message. kewl, very spontaneous. *touched*

after the numerous photo shoots (harhar), we left the resto. andeng, tita, iya and i watched 50 first dates. i LOVE the movie. it was only then that i realized the reason behind its title. its a romantic comedy film but i dont find it cheesy. lucy (drew barrymore) is very blessed to have henry (played by adam sandler). shet.. i asked myself -- "what if i also got a short-term memory disorder (is that the term? bear with me. hehe), would there also be a henry who would make me fall in love with him -- "every friggin' day"? *wishing*

it was already dark when we were back at our lola's place. after having fun the whole day, it was then the time to WORK, WORK, WORK on that term paper for fil. .what a great way to end my birthday.

but STILL, thanks to everyone who made my birthday special. super thanks. love you all. :)

(sorry for the sabog entry. there are just so many kewl things to say that i get confused how to organize them. :) )

here's what happened last friday

well, even though i admit being exhausted today because of the fil paper, etc etc plus the finals next week, i could say that happiness still is the dominant feeling.

i was supposed to go to the PDL session with my blockmates friday afternoon. however, there was a sudden change of plans since my mother texted me and said they'l pick me up any time and we'll go to Las Pinas. so i decided to not attend the PDL. (malas naman, i ran out of phone credits so i couldnt text martin or anyone to let them know i couldnt make it.:( )

i went to the dorm, packed my things up. kt, trins, jay and martin texted me "san ka?" ako naman, syemps, hindi makareply. at around 2, papa sent me load so yun, i called martin.

parang pinipilit nila ako pumunta pa rin. they even said that chuck is gonna pick me up pa. ako naman, since gusto ko rin naman makasama since last PDL na ata yun (unless tuloy pa rin hanggang summer), payag ako since my parents were not yet there. i assumed they would come at around 3 pa.

but.. but.. -- immediately after i texted them na sama na ako, mama texted me, "we're here outside" shett.. change of plans.. change of plans..

i was talking with my parents when chuck came. sshhheesssh,, pano yan? buti nalang, pumayag sila na sama muna ako for 20 minutes.

yun pala.. yehey, they have a surprise something for me. ayy... i was touched.. sweet naman. they gave me a cake plus a banner (na ang sama ko kase hindi ko napansin. hehe) that according to trish "pinaghirapan nilang gawin ni jay". wehe..

ok, so kaya pala ganun na lang sila kapilit. kaya pala hindi makasagot si jay nung kinakausap ko sa phone na hindi na ako makakapunta. hehe.

ayy.. i feel so blessed to have such sweet blockmates. luv you, guys :)

new skin

woohoo. i am so happy with my new lay-out for my blog. kaso i lost my tagboard. huhu. and i forgot how to get a new one.

well, school sucks, it says there.. quite ironic. hehe. hey, that doesnt mean i dont believe that school sucks. it really does. kaso i just have no other choice but to be in school. and take school seriously.. (nyek nyek)

most of my entries still are going to contain school stuff, although it sucks. (just making it clear)

ngapala, thank god we are done with the reporting for physics lab. sabog but at least it's over. i am not expecting a high grade there.

just two long tests, a reflection paper, a filipino paper and three final exams.. SCHOOL SUCKS. shet.

poor

woo.. what-a-day. wala akong kapera-pera.

buti na lang, we have a sort of a "despedida fiesta" for our pinoy class today. (si maam talaga, very creative) -- pagkaing pilipino overload (puto, streetfoods [kwek kwek], pancit malabon and ginataang hipon) yum yum. food indulgence for free.

i could not withdraw money from my atm. arrgh, i dont get it. there must be something wrong with the atm machine here in school. i'll probably try later at national bookstore. *sana po.. sana po*

as of the moment, i have 25 bucks with me. 15 wil go for the printing of my english reflection paper (it is due tom first thing in the morning) and the remaining 10 bucks for my fare. if the machine at national does not work, im doomed.

stressed out

stressed out -- there is no other way i could describe myself these past few days.

who wouldnt be stressed out by the way with all the papers, presentations, long tests. my head's gonna crack. there are just so many things to do and i cant decide which to do first. and im not used to cramming. (can anyone teach me how to,, i might need in the future -- or probably as early as now )

the other major problem is that i get sleepy as early as 10 in the evening for the past two nights. aarggh, tinutulugan ko lahat ng kailangang gawin.

my 18th birthday is coming and i dont care. i dont enjoy my early gifts.

arrghh, i feel so irritated today .

several reasons:

1. schoolwork ( i cant decide which paper / research to do first)
2. i am pissed off with this girl beside me. her pa-sweet voice just irritates me. i wonder why she keeps on saying "sorry" to the guy na inistorbo niya dahil hiniram niya yung computer. arrghh, it's as if i wanna say, "will you please shut up?! you are disturbing me."
3. i found out this morning i just lost my physics notebook. (yeah right)
4. i didnt see him today.

i am here at the internet cafe - killing time . i couldnt stay at the dorm because there's a pest control whatever - a thing required by ateneo for its accredited dorms. it is gonna take daw around two hours so i have no other choice but to go outside.

i went to les' party last night - with the rest of the a3 gang. hehe. as always, marami na naman ang a3. masaya siya lizzie arrived late so biglaan naging one of the 18 butterflies ako. :p yes,i was sober when i made my wish for les.

i drank again. dont ask what happened next. i did the usual thing - as always. arrghh, i hate it. i love beer but i hate its effects on me. when i came back at the dorm, i had the same feeling as last last week, after lizzie's party -- regret regret regret. why? - akin na lang muna. ( msg to everyone who was there with me at the party - i am sorry again guys. but im not gonna promise that i wont do that again. it just seems impossible. withdrawal isnt just easy. wehe) dont worry, next time - pacing -- as what kt and chase both told me last night.

this week is gonna be hell ( na naman?!) yup.. proposals for physics lab (thanks to isay she volunteered to do it :p); math long test on tues plus the prob set.; final paper for poetry due on friday; 1st draft of reflection paper for english due friday; 3 journal entries for english (hmm, nakakahalata nako ah. i get exhausted already going back to the past. ) and proposal for final paper for fil.

fragments

My father is so unfair. Hehe. He got a 6600. harhar. i want that. (bitch me.) I guess I would have to be contented with my fone now. well I love my phone especially the resolution of the pictures. What I just find annoying abot it is its VERY low memory. Imagine, it can only store around 37 pictures. I can hardly live with that. (ow-keey I’m exaggerating.) I already have the USB cable but I still don’t have the time to call sony ericsson to ask how I could use it. [?] I don’t know which software to install. Imagine how busy I am.

PLUS, it’s a major piss-off that I cant receive mms messages. SMART’s smartness must have been deteriorating.
-------
ha, I was happy yesterday. I find something magical about the pants I was wearing yesterday. It works as a magnet of happiness. I wanna send my apologies to my poor innocent victim. :) (woopps, why did I reveal that, the wanted curse must be reversed. )
-------
Les’ party is this Saturday but I still don’t have a top. I really have no concrete idea in mind what I am to wear. Hehe. I went to the mall yesterday to check on a “funky” top. Too bad I seemed not to have an eye for style.

How about not going? Hmm, no. I already spent for a skirt.

Sayang…
the skirt?
No..
but the thirst
quencher.

Woohoo. Let’s drink to that. Hehe. how come I am extra perky today?

----

ah ok. Im perky today because it’s doomsday tom. (sorry for the not parallel sentence construction) huhu, I have my group discussion for poetry tomorrow. It’s about the humor of history. We’ll be discussing simeon dumdum jr and charles simic. Ha, wish me luck and poetic wisdom. I need Divine intervention. I mean it.

-----

I couldn’t finish the blog entry about lizzie’s debut. Hehe. there are just so many ‘fragmented’ things to talk about. it was fun, ‘nuff said. I don’t wanna make fun out of myself na. I’ve heard enough of my story that night from my blockmates. (thanks to you guys ngapala) :)

------
as always, sorry for this chaotic entry. im just exhausted from our every-other-day journal entries for sir tigno’s class. I might post in the next days the well written ones.

gotta go for now. I still have my one-way conversations with dumdum, simic and their poetry.
