circle time, afternoon session at learning jungle. :)i know, i'm not supposed to post pictures, but you can hardly see any face in the picture!
just teacher dez'. HEHE. :)
just teacher dez'. HEHE. :)
HAHAHA. in learning jungle, i saw this book in the library entitled "Sisters are for Flying Kites" it's sad kaya. HAHA. a few days later a saw a "mommies are for ______" book. i forgot what it was. anyway!
when i was in first year, i always dreaded the thought of staying in the dorm for five straight months till i go home. the weekends weren't long enough to spend 5k roundtrip to iloilo, so i had no choice. five months. but now, 5 months doesn't seem so long. yes, please compare that to the 8 months because i didn't go home for the semestral break. wah. i just can't wait till i go home on the 23rd. :) :) :) i remember during that 8 month stay i didn't see any relatives, and i was super dying to see any familiar fez from my family tree. because when i see family here in manila, it just means everything's for free and i can eat real food at nice restaurants. :) it's nice to have that once in while, because i eat fastfood forever in the dorm. and i'm sick of mcdo. of jollibee. of yellow cab. of box o rice.
after our meeting, i went to glorietta to meet up with my cousin, nang marie. :) went around a little because it was on sale, checked out the new glorietta and then decided to go to greenhills. HAHAHA. shopped till dinner, and then ate at Tender Bob's! wooh.
Saturday, after the 10am-430pm meeting, i went to powerplant to meet up with nang marie, tita ati and tito jap! :) we went to greenbelt and went around, shopped a little and then ate dinner. :)
nang marie, nang mayette and i ate at John and Yoko. you should try their japaella and salmon belly. yummy forever. :) and then ate mocha sans rival for dessert at classic confections just beside john and yoko! :) after dinner, we went back to my lola's condo in magallanes, and i spent the night there. no extra clothes, no toothbrush, nothing. HAHA. i can be spontaneous and disgusting like that. :)this long weekend, from thursday till sunday today was a long one. very long one. i commuted a LOT. if i would have it the easier way, i'd take a cab from ateneo to glorietta. but that was expensive too, and i've already spent my splurge money earlier this month. (i have discovered that i have this tendency to splurge on something, and cut down forever till i get my next allowance. haha) this weekend, i also WALKED A LOT. it comes with commuting. you get that already. i've also become comfortable with closed shoes. this weekend, my shopping urges have been tested. there have been many times where i really wanted to buy, but i didn't. and i'm proud of myself. (HAHA). also. this weekend, i ATE A LOT. steak. japanese food, sans rival. the commuting and walking paid off. :)
AND SO. now, i think i will have to cut off from everything good. :) let's say that each person has this amount of power to do whatever he/she likes. eat good food, shop all day, splurge, waste time on useless adventures, drink till morning, and etc. i believe that i've used mine up for this month. (well, until may 23! haha) so i'm going to start being productive and reasonable and conscientious with the things that i will be doing. :) wooh. no excuses.
however, if ever i would have a last hurrah, a last splurge spree, i'd definitely buy myself a tamagochi. :) i remember when i had my first tamagochi when i was in grade1, i was just showing it to my friends. my teacher saw that i had brought it out and thought i was using it, so she confiscated it. BOO.
whatever happened to that thing.. i think it ran out of batteries. and so i used it as a keychain and then it got lost. HAHAHA. oh well. but i want one now. to keep me busy while waiting. i just have so much time doing nothing. for example, when i commute, i wait. during breaks at work. waiting in line. those in between moments. HAHA.so. there. those are, so far, the things i want to blog about. HAHAHA
below are just random thoughts. :)
- Miss California issues.
because i have very limited internet access here, i read through perez hilton's 39 pages worth of hollywood juice. i've been trying to figure out what made miss california the people's enemy number 1. haha. and so i found out that perez hilton asked the question about gay rights and miss california, being someone with intact religious beliefs, replied that she doesn't support gay marriage. tell that to perez hilton and you'll be a blogworthy beeeeech. :)
i want to say that i, as well, do not believe in gay marriage (coming from my religious beliefs) haha but actually, i'm not really sure with this. so i really don't want to say that i believe in so.
but the point really is, don't people see how sincere and honest miss california's answer was? sometimes i think the question and answer portions of pageants require the contestants to give the favorable answer. but hello. everyone is entitled to their own opinions. i just feel bad for the girl because everyone is hating her for answering honestly.
if you don't like other people's opinions, can you just please shut up and stop trying to look for people to side with you on this. attention horse. HAHA.
- iCAMPUS in Ateneo.
and so everyone is amazed with the iCampus inside the LS bookstore. haha. and what's even more surprising, macbook is now 55k!!! i've been re-assessing my thoughts on mac and why i don't like macbooks. for me lang, THIS IS MY OPINION!!! IT'S NOT USER FRIENDLY!!!!!! huhuuhuhuh. it's like the sony ericson of Nokia. the Fully Booked of National Bookstore. the Fried Chicken of roasted chicken. do you get my point!? huhuhu. i also think that maybe it takes some getting used to when it comes to mac stuff..of course, i've seen how mac works and it's wonderful. the sliding thingies, panels and stuff. photo and video editing, photobooth, etc. it's all wonderful. but windows has been my bff since 7 years old. so you get the point.
and if ever i would get a new laptop, IT HAS GOT TO BE VIVIENNE TAM!!!!!!!!!!! you know me. present me with a super cool phone with all the cool features and a normal phone with lesser cool features but in pink, you know what i'd get. :)
HUHUH. i will treat my vm like a baby. i swear. pretty laptop. it's small too. :)
- you know what's hard living far away from home???
1. sure, i do enjoy bringing baon to school/work. as far as i can remember, i stopped bringing lunch when i was in grade3. once in a while, i do, when the food was yummy. but most of the time i buy in the canteen. :) but this summer, we had to bring our own baon to work, unless we wanted to eat mcdo forever. (it's the nearest from jungle) of course, i like to bring baon because i get to cook whatever i can and want! :) however, cooking is also tiring. i have to get up really really early to cook the food and the the rice. if i was living in my house, all these would've been prepared by the time i wake up.
2. people's enemy number 2, washing the dishes. i hate. i do not have a choice though. i have to. if i want to cook everyday, i have to wash everything everyday. argh.
3. buying stuff. of course, if i was living in my own house, i'd only be spending for my lunch in school, and my weekend getaways. but living alone, i carry all the expenses. from tissue papers, dishwashing detergents, shampoos, soaps, laundry powder, etc. the good thing about living in the dorm is that you don't have to pay for the water and the electricity separately.
4. laundry. need i say more.
5. always worrying what to eat next. or where to eat next. of course, it's all up to me. i don't have a manang fe to prepare torta, sotanghon, and fish when i arrive. i don't have a manang fe who does all the wet market shopping. i just have me. and fastfood. and half cooked chicken. and pasta. and bread. do you see why i badly want to eat real food at a nice restaurant???
6. budgetting your moneh. i don't know how to, but somehow, i manage to get through a month and not go penniless. (sp?!)
7. you can't get sick. it's a major no no. sure, there are nearby clinics and hospitals. but you're on your own. i don't have a lolo who'll ask me what food i want for lunch. (yes, he'll drive to wherever just to buy me food. he does that whenever someone in the house is sick. well, sa kids lang. haha) i don't have a lolo whom i can wake up at 3am, drive to the nearest pharmacy and buy me medicines... i don't have my mommy who'll take my lunch in my room and spoonfeed me... i don't have my mommy to tell me i should stay home instead of going to classes because it's up to me now. so as much as possible, i don't want to get sick.
8. limited stuff. if i need a filipiniana costume, at home, there are lots. if i need a cocktail dress because i'm attending a formal party, at home, i can just pull out one. if i need something to wear for a job interview, i can always look for mommy's corporate attire in her closet. you get that. my last resort is buying.
this list can go on and on. but maybe the one thing that's good from all this... is that i'm on my own. :) i can eat whatever i want, i can go out whenever i want, go wherever i want. i can think for myself, and decide for myself. no one's going to tell me what to do, what time i should get home, what i should wear. :) i can be proud of my own efforts. (i.e. if i didn't have ojt yet by the end of march, i would've asked my relatives for connections. but i didn't. :) and i can proudly say that I AM LIVING MY OWN LIFE. :)
so to my parents, thank you. :) for trusting me on this. for trusting my own life to myself. :) for believing i could. :)
and the last thought for this blog....
i thought this was going to be easy. i thought i could do this with my eyes closed. apparently, the world is conspiring against me. i can foresee how i will be in the next few months. please Lord. help me.
if you can guess the last part, i'll give you a prize. hahaha
Au Revior!!
