My point of view of the day which people fondly call Valentines Day

2009-02-14T18:07:00.000+08:00

It’s my gloomiest valentines day. It’s not that I used to have fairytale valentine, but believe me, I loathed Valentines Day since high school, or even grade school, primarily because I didn’t liked the feeling of being teased when someone gives you something. It’s just so unusually erroneous for me. I don’t normally greet people “happy valentines” unless they greet me first or I’m not in my usual self, call me KILLJOY but that’s how it is in my point of view. To get rid of unnecessary thoughts that linger in my mind now, the fact that my car was bumped near SM made my day even worst. It seems like the Friday-the-thirteenth took effect on a Saturday-the- fourteenth. I spilled something on my shirt during dinner at Sugarland. I again spilled a few drops of Java Chip from Starbucks. I had my toenail collide with something, which hurts so bad. I .In fact, we had a scheduled practice for our Gensci2 play and apparently, Nissi’s car stopped in the middle of the road because of malfunction, which made her ride motorcycle coming and made her late. Sorry for using you as an example Nis, but I’m just pointing out how ill-fated this day is. Let’s call it, series of unfortunate events.

And, oh yeah! I miss blogging.

How I hated valentines more!

Happy Holidays!

2009-01-01T17:50:00.000+08:00

This is the season with many activities all around. I had spent my Christmas away from home so I didn’t really have an easy communication method. Thanks to all who greeted! I wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I usually end my year with a survey which I update annually, but this year I won’t. I find it lifeless.

I am not so socially active these past months. I hadn’t really spoken much about my life lately. I pointed out some reasons before and I will mention it again now:

1. lack of privacy here in multiply, its getting crowded

2. I am busy

3. lack of interest in blogging

I would like to summarize my thoughts for 2008

The world financial crisis is really what is stuck in my mind. Yes, I am affected. I have read some articles about it and billionaires all over the world lost its status. I wonder where their billions are right now! Haha!

So the global warming still hurts me, you see, it is not very common in places with winter season to have snowfall anymore. Polar bears and penguins are the cutest!

I hate my 107 major! And I just realized that IM people are carefree people, except when it’s near exams because it means deadlines. But on an average class hour, we are as free as a bird!

The pre-twilight craze never got into me until the day I watched the movie itself. It was then that I realize how hooked I was. I read twilight and newmoon already! I am not a reader, mind you! Now I’m reading Midnight Sun!

Life is unpredictable. Period.

imagine me and you, i do, i think about you day and night

I have addiction to gaming nowadays. I play crazy kart with some friends and I super enjoy it! But recently, I received a link from nong rhix. It’s another minigame! It is sooooo cute! And very addicting! In fact, I slept 4AM last night(morning) just playing that hypnotizing game! I just can’t stop till I beat my highest score over and over again. Then I forgot who gave me the link but I remembered Athenna commented on it so she was still online, and I asked her. “Sino to gain nag give sang link sang BIRDS AND BELLS nga game?” Unconsciously, I called the rabbit, a bird! Hahaha yeah I was almost loosing my sanity! Their other games are also very cute! Try it!

Here's the screenshot

The people I learnt to love in IM

2008-09-22T16:30:00.000+08:00

These are the people who made me love my course and enjoy what I have today

In no particular order

Note: this was written before the crazy incident happened, so I might consider some, inaccurate already

Cherry- my angel, we face troubles in most subjects together. She is my angel sent from heaven! Haha I can often relate most of the queries in problem solving, programming, math, projects, reports etc

Hernie, the president- we have a love-hate relationship! Haha but still I adore his efforts!

Edlem “karla”- the all in one guy/girl! I just have fun with him anytime anywhere!

Victor- the big but gentleman haha, he is just too caring J such a nice friend. So good in CK!

Angelie/ ange- the m*rselle fanatic, one of the firsts that I met in IM, and we shared the constant hatred to our RS prof (Doctor H). I regularly remind her of the vices she needs to avoid.

James “karlo/kimmy”- the latiza fan, my other ck companion, the first person who gave way to let me win in CK!

Anton “Jose”- the photographer, the minesweeper guy, the expert, my games supplier haha

Carmela- the mayor, the ever patient mayor of IM3. She was with Akol when I met her.

Tina- the hardworking CIS secretary! Good thing I didn’t run for that position!

Syriel- we spent time pretending to do the 104 together haha just enjoyed the night instead

Makki- the joker, my eating companion, the one who gives me “kasadyahan” as what he said

Yanyan- the joker’s other half, my other eating companion

By groups

Gene, lala, paolo- the very kind co1crew members!

Kris jean, dona, jenny, MM- the diligent classmates who answer most of my queries

My professors

Dr. Go- my English and Chinese inspiration

Sir Vince- a prof who acts like a student

Ms. Bernabe- the very patient and considerate teacher

Sir kooks- the busy dc

PS If you’re not on the list, it doesn’t mean I hate you, it’s just that, the things we shared together isn’t that significant maybe…

2008-08-08T18:01:00.000+08:00

888, said to be the luckiest day in our lifetime. Nothing happened special today. It’s been a while since I last updated. hmmm I think I don’t get the enthusiasm in blogging after a series of unfortunate events. I’ve been struggling to balance everything to put them into their proper places. Stuffs like, project makings, leisure, IM104, leisure, McDo, leisure, CLAW, leisure, finance… see? I prioritize leisure more than anything else. Of course, leisure and Mcdo won’t be out of the picture. That’s where I get my strength.

Prelim- it was fine, but not enough for me to be the happiest person on the planet. My grades were unsatisfactory in my judgment, a lot of disappointments. I think I need to get over being so paranoid with my grades, but I just can’t. I sometimes loose my sanity. Considering I won’t be able to get laudes anyways, I might as well live the “happy college life” as what many people may call it. Have you ever experienced being on top and afraid to fall again? Being on top gives no room for improvements. I mean the highest level, not just high, like a perfect score for example. And yeah, I degraded.

Life has been rough these past few days. I haven’t been completely okay. Although I don’t have any major problem, I just suffer.

I am very environmentally and economically aware these past few days. I can just feel the effects of ruthless human activities. I felt the earthquake 2:30AM here in Bacolod. And the unstoppable typhoons making our country a meeting place! I got scared and thought about the end of the world is near. Sue me but that is what I think! Now, the inflation rate, I am so struck by the oil prices! It is so damn high! Need I elaborate that? Everything got high. A thousand peso won’t even fit a week’s allowance for a regular student, unless you are the stingy type who would eat Hansel or cream O for lunch haha

currently watching Beijing Olympics opening on the TV

There is always light after a series of darkness

Sometimes, we just need time to realize how bright it is.

We must not forever hide in the shadows,

At times, we even need to take one step to see the sunlight

a step means a trial to face and an obscurity that is yet known.

Good day!!

money

2008-07-06T20:54:00.000+08:00

Somehow I learnt something from someone

Money is important

Money is not everything, but it is something

Money cannot give life, but it can prolong one

Money cannot give you happiness but it can make you happy, in one way or the other

It’s too sarcastic for people to say that money is not important, because it is, in fact, it is causing so much trouble, many people die because of it, let’s just face reality, money rules the world.

And there are people who consider money over anything else.

You may say that there are still such things as faith and love, but isn’t it considered equally important now? I am not being mean, I am just being honest.

life's anguish

2008-06-24T19:18:00.000+08:00

I can’t believe I am saying this. This is so not me. But, it is soooo hard to forget. The hardest thing to do is to move on. Forgetting is impossible. Memories can be kept forever but grief can be suffered eternally.

Now I understand why there thousands who commit suicide and metal hospitals are fully-loaded. This is all the information I can give you, forgive me.

I am 19 OMG, I hate getting older (yearly). As a child, I would love to grow older and I would look forward to every birthday. But things change, another year and I cannot call myself as a teenager. School started and I had a hard time enrolling myself with some circumstances that even I, cannot understand. I am now under the College of Arts and Sciences, not CBA as what I thought would be my family until the day I graduate. I don’t have anything against it but it’s just hard to accept that I will leave the “family” that I considered for two years. I can’t imagine myself wearing green (although I love green better that yellow) during sportfest and u-week. Whatever. I am not that affected with it since I am not so active in college activities now, only in my academic club, which is also in CAS now. Though I had enormous activities with several CBA officers, I am thankful that I’ve experienced being in both colleges. I just loved CBA so much that I loved it more than my course!

I know that this is super late but I just want to talk about my summer.

When classes were still ongoing, I had a plan to take summer classes to at least entertain myself since holy week was early and I had no conflict with anything. But I changed my mind when I decided to just enjoy summer. I didn’t take summer classes because I thought that I can sill catch up with all my subjects anyways. I won’t be taking up another major for the sake of being relaxed.

Now, I am grateful of my decision since I encountered a lot of amusing times with memorable people. The events might be scattered but all of those little things made it extra special. I won’t disregard this meticulous summer for the rest of my life.

This blog entry has the purpose solely to post something. I ran out of ideas, forgiveness.

Under two circumstances

2008-05-11T22:02:00.000+08:00

I have been a stagnant blogger i.am.sorry

But does anyone care? I prefer to just post photos and add some explanations along with the album. It’s more entertaining, I suppose?

I have been busy manning our family business and recently, the summer splash preparation. Had several meetings in McDonalds about the event. I purposely didn’t go on the day for the reason that I hate sunlight. I am not a vampire, don’t get me wrong. I just hate it. I already have uneven skin tone. What more can I ask for? Hahaha and i have skin asthma that cause my skin to really look bad

And besides, the summer splash was for the summerians and I am NOT one of them. I am just working for the club, CIS.

My summer is kinda complete already, but I received another problem, choosing between school or another vacation. So hard to choose! I can’t really decide up to now! The vacation is like, my birthday gift, exactly starts on my birthday, but it will end the 12^th of June, it means that I will be absent for the first 3 or 4 days because school starts on the 9th. How tough huh?

If I was my old ME, I would definitely opt school, no question with that…

But I’ve change, I am now a different student and my point of view is different, thanks to La Salle and my course, I can be carefree haha if you know what I mean, if not, go figure. I have been blabbing about this in my previous entries.

But but, I still worry a little for being absent, I am not totally happy-go-lucky yet. I hope soon..

I just can’t choose, but I need a decision, ASAP!

School is not cool

my evil twin

2008-04-22T17:12:00.000+08:00

Did u ever had someone plagiarize anything from your site? Like a quote, picture or anything. Now in my case, my chinese name is being copied by someone. He maybe thinks its joke or its something nice to use. So devastating!

I’ve had encounters like this before but I didn’t tackle it publicly, so now I emerge. I was viewing friendster tirelessly when I got to read an update from a contact. I am not usually minding those but this time, it caught my attention because it was written in Chinese. I thought it was a shout out and I read it and to my shock the name of the person was “lester 我是蔡爱萍”! Imagine my astonishment when I read that! To my non-chinese friends his name says, “lester I am Cai Ai Ping” and Cai Ai Ping is my name.

He is pilfering my name! It is very ovious that he is not chinese and he is a guy copying a girl's name. How dare him! And I don’t understand the purpose to why he did that! I don’t know him personally so I don’t mind messaging him because he may be a bad person or what. I can’t remember who he is so maybe I approved his friend request long ago. Because I don’t approve friend request from people I don’t know now. I know I should have an action, but I have no plans yet. Here is his profile.

nail art- summer love

2008-04-15T20:11:00.000+08:00

I just want to share my current obssession

I am so addicted to nail art that I just can’t get enough of it. It first started when I saw some super cute nail pictures from the net. Then I bought some from Face Shop, since they’re the only ones who sell nail art stickers here in Bacolod. Then I loved dressing-up my nails all the time. I just buy them everywhere I can. I got excited when we were going to Japan since I believe it really originated there. So I really bought a lot and stocked it here, enough for myself of course. Although i also bought some from Skin Food, Dashing Diva from the Beauty Bar and Elianto. I do my own nails so some processes of nail art, like the custom painting won’t work for me because I can’t do it with my own nails, although I bought some nail art pens also. It would usually last for 1-3 weeks, depending on how careful I am. But normally, I will change it every 2 weeks. It will take me as short as 2hrs and as long as 6hrs to finish my nails. My nails attract a lot of attention mind you, and I am afraid the sooner or later, it won’t be as unique as it is now. Copycats as what you might call them. Here is my current nail-art. I don’t capture everything, because either I don’t bother, I don’t like it or I just don’t have time to take a photo.

Well, I really started doing this even before summer but I just want to feature it this summer hehe….

Summer is here and I’ve got practically nothing to do. I am done with my vacations, only Iloilo awaits me. I planned to have summer class but I didn’t push it through. Now I am stuck. I might as well entertain myself with malls and chat and text and some chatting and a little pampering like hitting the salon or spa.

I love summer as a free time, a vacation time or whatever you want to call it, but I don’t like it as a season. It is a very HOT one! I only enjoy summer when I go abroad since northern countries have lower temperature when its summer here. I love being in cool places.

I hated Tagaytay because it was too hot when we got there. I even had my skin burnt! Very disappointing.

I love Christmas weather better.

Is nursing the only course on the planet?

2008-03-11T17:37:00.000+08:00

Ok so whenever someone will ask you, “What’s your course?” the question is always followed by “Nursing?” Why is it a must to go to other countries? Why not be rich in the Philippines instead? Hehe I know it’s a little harder, but be patriotic! Haha I have been asked by that question a million times! So that’s exaggerating, I am sorry. I really hate science, especially in high school, all those biology, chemistry and physics classes make me sick! It’s the last course I will take, mind you. I’d rather have a 2-year course.

I can’t figure out why everyone is into nursing. Even the financially capable people I know are in nursing. I know a handful of heirs that are in nursing or are nurses. What will happen to their businesses? Considering some of them are only child.

Even doctors would leave their profession and switch to nursing? What’s happening to the world today? I am currently happy with my computer related course. It can also bring me to places like, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong or Taiwan. But I’d rather stay here, or I might think about it… hehe

ronald and my desktop

2008-03-09T20:51:00.000+08:00

I am really really really sad. My hard drive crashed 2 days ago. I just can’t live without me desktop! I don’t like using the laptop. In fact, I can’t do my normal errands without my desktop. I can’t do my IM101 program without it. WHY?!?! Of all the things to be broken, why my HD? I want it back!

For the past 10 days, I’ve been hanging out at mcdonald’s lacson. I’ve been present everyday. My usual visit includes mcflurry or cappuccino at mccafe. I am really a mcdo lover ever since I can remember. This just proves my loyalty. I have known many people at Mcdo, including the staff, managers and customers (mcdo addicts like me) hahha… I have appreciated and hated some managers, but i still love mcdo!

I have a big problem for the coming weeks, I will be absent for 4 days. It will greatly affect my exemptions and worst, my grades. I don’t really mind being absent, but not before the exams! Hai I just can trade my studies for pleasure, so bad of me.

Mansion

2008-02-15T19:01:00.000+08:00

Sometimes having a good life can really be scary. You don’t know how the future lies ahead. Life is never certain; it’s just like a rollercoaster ride. I’ve watch MMK which starred KC and I was really struck of what happened to her. Its good to have a rags to riches experience, where everything good lies ahead of you, but riches to rags is different. It’s like falling down from a building 50-storey building and you are not sure who will catch you, or if anyone ever will.

Being famous or rich can give you friends or may I say, plastic friends, but if ever you’ll loose everything, this “friends” will be strangers. You thought you can count on them before as much as they can count on you, but having nothing will eventually make them disappear little by little.

I was really touched by the story. I just can’t imagine the girl (KC) to be obliged to learn everything in a snap. It’s far easier to learn how to be pampered than to learn how to work. I’ve heard several situations like this in real life and it also worries me of how that person can move on, with all the spoiling he/she has been used to. It really bothers me and I really pity those people.

But as the story ended, life is not measured with money; it’s with happiness and being with your loved ones. And the title was Mansion so I also entitled my post by it.

amazing race asia 2

2008-02-14T17:14:00.000+08:00

I was eating my Valentine dinner earlier when I heard that they lost from the Singaporians! I didn’t want to believe because M and R are really AMAZING. I said I would come home before 9 so that I could watch it on AXN. I don’t like to know the results unless I watch it, especially when its bad news. But they really ended up 3^rd placers! OMG!

I just can’t accept the fact that they were really leading and one roadblock changed their fate!

Life now seems busy. Ok it’s not the typical IM student, but believe me, we are. Seminars are to be attended. Programs are to be compiled. I don’t have problem with that, I was used to being busy.

I’m currently obsessed with nail art. So fun! v is not my nail

I encountered 3 accidents on my way home today. All in one street, Lacson. Is it bad luck or what?

I’ve been entertained by fishes in lagoon lately. I’ve been a frequent visitor of the lagoon, can you believe it? Buying a 5php popcorn or a 20php fish food and feeding the tilapias in lagoon makes me happy in a way. It calms my stressful day.

And and bacolaodiat (Bacolod’s celecration of chinese new year), is on Thursday already. We will get to parade for lasalle.

hanging bags are falling down

2008-01-21T15:40:00.000+08:00

When I got into my room last Saturday, I was puzzled when I saw a mountainous figure from the dark. I got home late, obviously, so my room was dark. I hurriedly turned the lights on while thinking, “Why is there an ukay-ukay in my room?” When the lights were on, I saw my bag hanger broke and fell down. The middle part cracked because its over-weight. So, here’s the picture.

So you see Winnie the Pooh hanging? Haha. And I needed some help in fixing it.

Today is the start of our University Sportsfest. And, today is the only day that I will get to enjoy the events but I am sick. I still went to school and watched cheering, bbal game and practiced our speech choir. As usual, CBA lost in cheering, no surprise. BUT we won the basketball game against College of Arts and Sciences.

Being sick now is really a big problem for me. I will be away tomorrow but I am sill, how good is that? How can I enjoy? How can I enjoy a place with a very low temperature when I have colds? Arghhh I won’t be updating until Monday of next week. But maybe I can sneak sometime to be online if I find somewhere to log in. I will miss being online.

ilang-ilang

2008-01-17T17:44:00.000+08:00

Lately, I’ve been very busy and depressed about so many things, mostly schoolworks. I get very pressured on sportsfest, not that I’m into sports, but because I am leaving so I will have absences for about a week. I am trying my best to give patch up things by sponsoring something for the College of Business and Accountancy, as per requested by my professor, but there are some professors who can’t do away with that and they would really check. So I have some mischief, like sponsoring for another event so that our Mayor (class president) will check my attendance for the whole week, without being there at all. She requested me again, so why should I put her down? Talking about a future progressive Philippines, with this kind of citizens? I know it is wrong; I just can’t afford to miss so many points for a week. I will be leaving for a while with my family.

I have so many requirements lately. One is to interview a parish priest. It is for our Religion 4. So we ended up taking a video of our interviewee because we can’t catch up with his answers. We’re supposed to just take down notes, so now we justt have to type everything he said in the video.

While making it, I was too bored and too irritated that I went out of my room and I saw the ilang-ilang tree. It was blossoming so I took a flower and played with it while Nissi was typing our interview report. Look what I’ve done.

thinking about blogging here in multiply

2008-01-10T18:00:00.000+08:00

Because of the population of multiply getting bigger, I'm thinking of making another blog, or stop cross-posting my blogger account here.

I need privacy. And I don't feel at ease telling it to some strangers. I maybe mean to you, sorry but i just have to do this soon.

a random thought from me ^-^

2008-01-10T17:53:00.000+08:00

I was so addicted to spring waltz for a few days that I chose it over malling, but it was just for a couple of days, then my life went back to normal. Phew! Another stressful week, it is my 1^st week in school for 2008 and a lot of revelations happened. Some of my grades came out, but I’m not so affected with it, some are good, some are so-so. I want to watch a lot of movies! I already watch National treasure, SSS, and shake rattle and roll. SRR was so ugly! Hehe Nat’l treasure was good, but I still want to watch I am legend. I have mixed emotions right now, that includes hunger. I just want to enjoy life. I will be having a leave on the sportsfest so I won’t be here to “cheer” for college of business and accountancy. I am not sad at all, in fact I’m happy. I will update you soon.

OK so I’m in my secretive side again, those ^ were just something to distract my attention. I won’t say what happened, again, but I will tell you what I feel.

I feel so sad. I am not heart-broken, don’t get me wrong. I am just confused of my surroundings. Why am I in this situation? What did I do? I am not either on a cat fight. I have scattered thoughts, sorry for saying nonsense things. I also feel this problem is nonsense. I think tomorrow is a Saturday, not a Friday, I hate going to school with so much burden. I must be happy right? Ok so I’m not really sane right now. I just want to write down my scattered thoughts. Haaaay( (this word is getting useful in times of need)

I have wasted too much on this. My life is not to be ruined.

New year 2008

2008-01-05T04:46:00.000+08:00

I was thinking to write my year end review now, as I always do, but I just can’t. I’m too lazy to collect my thoughts and put it in one essay. Or I may not want to recall the bad memories at all or maybe I have noticed that the multiply crowd is getting bigger and I am shy or I find it too confidential to announce it in public. But if ever I will have the mood of writing, I will soon. For now, I have this survey from last year to be filled up again. I want to see how much I changed.

Straight ahead, instead of turning back

2007-12-08T10:51:00.000+08:00

Whew no updates for a long time! I’ve been quite confused the last time I posted something. My life changed dramatically! I maybe wanted to settle things up before posting anything here. Well, the change that I’m saying is quite confidential and I cannot tell you the story maybe that’s why I wasn’t able to say anything. All I know now is that I am already happy, or sort of. I may not feel what I was experiencing before, but this is a change. I may not say that this is better; all I know is that this is something different. You may wonder what am I saying but I just can’t say it here. I have just moved on. I just felt how college life really means. It is sad. I sometimes still think of the past, I think of it that I was happier back then. But I also realized that sometimes I am happier now. I just haven’t adjusted a hundred percent, only eighty percent I guess.

Here are some of the changes that are not really of being in college, but jut changes in me. We speak English in class, most of the time, and it is getting contagious that everyone in the classroom follows it. I am now disorganized. I don’t plan. I don’t expect. I don’t think of what will happen next (although sometimes I still do). I don’t worry too much on things anymore. I’ve really learnt how to be a happy-go-lucky person. Life is short, and I’m regretting every minute that I’ve wasted.

pink cow vs blue-eared elephant

2007-11-12T14:43:00.000+08:00

I had a previous post that featured my elephant-mouse-wrist-rest which was being killed by my friends right? So now I'm teeling you about my new pet. I bought a pink cow to replace my old wrist support! I just loved my old one but it can't extend its life and it might burst in the end! The elephant was from Singapore and has glow-in-the-dark figures inside. Its about a year and 6 months old. My new pet is painted white and pink. weird, but it really is. It doesn't say anything about the manufacturer so I suppose its from China. Here are their pictures.

my upcoming empty christmas

2007-11-10T16:57:00.000+08:00

As I was about to enter the house at 6pm, I felt the cool breeze of December air. I said to myself, OMG Christmas is coming, and I’m not even happy. In fact, I am lonely. It is very hard to think of great things when I’m stuck with an unsolved dilemma! *sighs* Normally, I would enjoy the feeling of Christmas time from October-November but December isn’t really a happy-time. Too much celebration makes me sick! I love the preparation for Christmas, and only the preparation itself. I even get excited when I hear Christmas songs being played in department stores as early as October. Having Christmas break also gives me the reason to smile, and that’s about it.It is also the time when I get to see people whom I rarely see, people who are close to my heart but unfortunately not available in other times of the year. It is weird but I always get the feeling of loneliness when it’s Christmas day already. I know it’s not all about gift-giving and Christmas parties which usually makes people, especially children, blissful. It’s more on the meaning of this celebration that makes sense.

2nd sem profs

2007-11-07T16:22:00.000+08:00

As of now, I have amazing professors, contrary to last sem’s! I have Mr. Daquila in Marketing, the past teacher or the BABA which they say gives high grades with less effort! Then Mrs. And for Bmath3 and Math6! Yes, same teacher, and she gives additional points for answering her riddles! How cool is that? For Religion4, I have Mr. Tag-at again! I just love him in Religion1! I got 98 without sweat contrary to Mrs Hilado in Religion3 where I got 80 when in fact, I studied Religion the hardest! For Computer Application 2, I’m under Mr. Pahilanag again! As I’ve said in my previous post way back, he is a graduate in Tay Tung and I was under him for IT1. And the last, Dr. Lily Go, an alumna of Tay Tung again. My dad’s batchmate in Tay Tung. I don’t know how is she when it comes to giving of grades, but I’m hoping for the best!

goodbye freetime :'(

2007-11-05T09:04:00.000+08:00

I went to two parties last night!

Katrine, Jo-ann and I had our make up done at headship. We were running late! I went home and changed first so I was also the first one to arrive at the venue. I was waiting for them in my car when a guy tried to open my door! I was shocked! Good thing the door was locked! My heart was pumping! I was there for about 30 minutes when they finally came. Spent 2 hours in Justine’s Party when I finally decided to drop by Kristin’s party. So I did. And came there came peter, he was ready to go back to Business Inn because he promised her that he would catch up. I just spent about 5-10 minutes there. Then went back and decided to go to McDonalds, as what we usually do after a party, with all those make-up on! It just completes my day!

I feel so sad right now! I really do! It’s the last day of semestral break and I feel so incomplete. Although I did many things, I still feel lonely! I think I had enough vacation but still! I’m not looking forward to anything so I don’t know! I really want to cry! This is very sad.

2007-10-21T19:41:00.000+08:00

I'm back for half a day and I'll be leaving for manila tomorrow morning. I can't believe it! I left my camera so don't have much pictures from Cebu, I just used my dad's digi for a few shots and some are photos taken from my phone (which doesn't have a flash nor a zoom). So expect that I wont be online for a few days hehe.

exam exam exam

2007-10-15T10:06:00.000+08:00

I don’t know what to feel, really. I just can’t wait for the semester to end yet I am not prepared for it either. Haven’t studied anything for tomorrow’s exam! I just don’t feel like studying because it will be the last! And I think I just don’t know how to start! Phew! I had a busy weekend for the pajama debut of Karen and I just needed some sleep so I slept nearly the whole Sunday. My sembreak is so full! I have to leave the day after my exam, which is on Wednesday for the temple event in Cebu. So I’ll be away from Thursday to Sunday. Then I’ll be leaving for manila again on Monday, Oct 22 until Oct 29. And then November 1, one of the much awaited get together of my HS friends. I have some one debut party on Nov 3, and 2 parties on Nov 4! Talking about a hectic schedule! And the enrollment! I will not be here! OMG

techies

2007-10-04T14:45:00.000+08:00

Wohoo. Many things to blah about!

First, I got an iphone! Haha It is not my dream phone, nor did I want to get one. But it is a blessing, so I should accept it! Haha! It is not the greatest phone mind you! You can’t forward messages. You can’t take videos. The camera has no flash nor zoom. There is no usermanual! I had to download a PDF from the net. It is only 8gb! Not enough! And then comes the worst part, it has a auto-spellcheck so it corrects every word that is in shortcut, in Filipino or in dialect. I don’t know, maybe I just don’t know how to set those things, but I tried my best! I’ve searched for answers everywhere but no luck. But in overall, not bad. So if ever you’re planning to have an iphone and now you’re thinking twice after reading my entry, don’t believe me, maybe you’ll love it cause I’m just stating my opinion, go figure.

Second, I enjoy playing boxing in Nintendo Wii! Haha It is fun. I just considered that I can actually play the game without hurting myself!

Third, Friendster is cool! It now has Traditional Chinese!

Forth, I hate YahooMessenger! It implemented a limit with the status. It can only accommodate 40 characters! I hate it because I loved changing my status and placing my links before!

Fifth, I hate the fact that exam is coming again! Even though I only have to get about 3 exams for endterm, I just hate studying!

I have changed

2007-09-18T11:57:00.000+08:00

Back in High School, I was very responsible. I was very workaholic. I would be doing things that weren’t mine. During events, I was always the first one to arrive, and the last one to leave, especially during fund raising and batch events. I was always excited with everything. I work overtime. I enjoyed. Now, I’ve changed, very much. I think I started my college days as a responsible student but my club, which is greenBees, molded me to be irresponsible.

During the early part of my service, I still had the interest. I still looked forward to our meetings. But as time passed by, I’ve hated it so much. I hate waiting for tardy people. I hate being dictated especially when I think it is injustice. I hate the feeling that I was doing more job than the rest. I find it not good. But, I still attended meetings. I was rarely absent. And everything just wasn’t good until it reached to the point that I told the other officers, I’d quit. I’ve hated it so much.

Now, I’m used to being absent and just having the attendance checked then I go home. I learnt how to enjoy life. Its not that I didn’t enjoy my work in high school, in fact I loved being busy. I love the people that I was working with. I just miss my old classmates. I’m now the typical pasaway student that you’d encounter in college. I hate checking of attendance. What’s to enjoy in school if I don’t like the people I see there often? In fact I have a meeting in Filchinoy now, and I’m absent again. I just don’t want to be there and considering that there are more than a hundred members and only about 10 attend the meeting. And take note, the only students attending are from Tay Tung, my old batchmates, same old people. I find it unfair so I also don’t attend, simple.

2007-09-15T17:49:00.000+08:00

It’s University Days and Kelvin was scheduled to visit Bacolod from Sept 12-15. We were busy with the Filchinoy kiosk and we made a lot of takas from our checking of attendance in our respective subjects. I had a Business Statistics exam 8am on the 12^th and he arrived at 1055. Good thing I finished 2 exams in an hour. I was off to set-up the kiosk from 9-1030 then went home to fix my things. I was in the airport at 1045 and the plane had already landed. I expected the PAL flight to be delayed, as always, but it wasn’t. Then Karen and Katrine came later because they had their church service in the morning. After fetching him, we ate lunch at Bob’s Jr. We stayed at the kiosk for a while then checked in at Palmas del mar and played bowling in the afternoon. It was so fun cause it was my first time to play bowling. It’s also Katrine’s first. We ate dinner at chicken house. We actually had a lot of arguments as to where we would eat, because Karen had a different taste than mine.

I can’t be specific with what happened on the other days so I’ll say it randomly. We played bowling for the second time. We ATE a LOT! He always looked forward to where we’ll be eating next! Takaw! Haha! Peace! We tried Mang Inasal( as requested by Karen), Bigby’s, Chicken Deli, Bob’s Café, Pepe’s, Hong Kong Kitchen and McDonalds. I asked him to rate the chicken inasal that he tasted and he chose Chicken House as the best, Mang Inasal is second and Chicken Deli as third. He transferred to Luxur Place because Palmas del mar is a bit far from my house. We loved watching movies! We had Underdog for Thursday, 1408 for Friday and Sinking of Japan today. We had fun during his last hour in Bacolod. After checking in his luggage, we waited for Karen and Katrine in Metro Robinson, or whatever the name is, then we drank hot chocolate cause its Chocolate festival and hot choco was only 10php! Karen was not contented, she even had icy choco. We ate donuts and had a lot of pictures! Then the plan was not to remind him of the time, so he would forget about his 415 flight. So mean! We even pretended that we needed to use the toilet just to waste time! Haha We had our pictures taken inside the male’s cr! Karen even kept his cellphone just before he was entering the departure area. But all that stopping didn’t work! He still wasn’t late! Hehe. I had a lot of fun! Really!

Pictures are posted in my multiply site.

headache

2007-09-03T15:31:00.000+08:00

I am very paranoid with grades but I don’t care about studying. I don’t study much during exams but I tend to expect a lot with the results. It is my weakness. I guess I’m not used to be a bookish or a geek. I believe that examination tests what you’ve learnt, not what you’ve just memorized. I hate memorizing. When my expectations fail, I become really depressed, like what’s happening now. I think I have so many problems to think about that worrying about them made my head ache. I worry a lot about my grades. Being in the deans’ list again puts so much pressure on me. Even though I shouldn’t care much about my grades because I already got 83 in Acctg2, taking away the possibility for me to be a cum laude, I still agonize too much.

I realized that doing good at present will pressure me to do better in the future. And if I fail with that expectation, I get miserable. I spent 1 hour earlier just to forget about my Accounting problem. I am not failing, but I just can’t accept that I might end up having a line of 8 grade. Grades aren’t out yet. Meanwhile, my Economics is doing great. I fear that I might expect more on the endterms. To tell you honestly, I got overconfident with my prelim grades because everything turned out so well. Except for my Religion subject which was understandable. Now, I feel that I won’t get much success as what I’ve got for prelim.

parental control

2007-09-02T17:45:00.000+08:00

I’ve read YES! Magazine a while ago and I want to quote Cristalle, the 24 year old daughter of Vicki Belo. She said, “My mom never deprived me of anything material, or even her permission for me to do anything. You’ll learn not to take advantage of that because she gives it to you with total trust. Ever since we were small, and then even in hs, ‘Mom, can I go out?’ Diba, ‘yong ibang parents: “no, hindi pwede!’ ang daming rules. So, ano ginagawa ng mga bata? Tumatakas, nagiging pregnant, you know… ‘yong mga gano’n. With me, my mom goes, ‘Go out, go out, magsasawa ka rin!’

I am also like that. I can do what I want. I can go out anytime I want. But I don’t do night outs so they trust me for that. I mean, I can even go out anytime without asking permission because I don’t push the limits. I know very well that I must not come home late because it is the proper thing, so I don’t. I have the freedom so I don’t need consent unlike most of my friends. I consider it as an advantage so I take care of that trust. The more parents’ say no, the more teens will do it.

As for my title, I've been watching Parental Control in ETC and its entertaining.

taro passion

2007-09-02T04:54:00.000+08:00

I looooooove taro flavor! Anything goes well with taro. It ranges from taro ice cream, taro milk tea, taro ice, taro pudding, and taro jelly ace! I first developed my passion with Quickly’s taro ice. I would drink it 3 times a day when I was in Manila since Quickly was only available in Manila that time. Then at last! It opened here in Bacolod. But because people were not fond of it, and they don’t appreciate its uniqueness, it closed after some time.

I went to Taiwan during my 6 weeks study tour and they had Quickly everywhere. The problem was, we didn’t know what’s Taro in Chinese until finally we knew its 芋頭 in Chinese. So I was again, enjoying my milk tea often. Back to the Philippines and I missed milk tea very much.

About a year after, we went to Malaysia, and to my surprise, I was surrounded by taro again! This time, with a different name, Yam. They had ice creams! We would eat yam ice cream almost every after meal because our buffet would always include ice creams, chocolate fountain and a lot of cakes!

Until recently, I went to Taiwan again or my 3 weeks tour. I was enjoying every minute of it with the abundance of milk teas! I even ate yam ice cream in Formosan. Hay! Heaven!

Now, I miss Taro badly!

In the 8 facts about me, you share 8 things that your readers don't know about you. Then at the end you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

* Each blogger must post these rules first.

* Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

* Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I just can't work on things when I get home, unless I go online. I just simply check mail, blog a little or check on my other accounts. I get my strength from it. hehe

2. I have this obsession for discount cards i.e. Kamiseta, Celine…

3. I use a prepaid sim when my postpaid account is already excess.

4. I have studied kok-im for 13 years but I can use pinyin better if I type Chinese.

5. I keep a pair of flip flops in my car so I can use it when I go malling on school days. Wearing heels exhausts me so much.

6. I am very focused on things I like but I don’t cooperate when I hate the situation.

7. I always do 3 things at once. Watch tv, talk on the phone and chatting/ surfing.

8. We have this scrapbook project in psych and because of my excitement; I am almost done with it. I miss doing projects that requires creativity. I just have so many things in mind. The deadline is still on the endterm but I prioritize it more than my midterm exam.

moon

2007-08-20T20:41:00.000+08:00

got this from KM

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

It also rained all day here in Bacolod that’s why I feel that I’m getting sick. My class ends early every Tuesdays and Thursdays. I go home at 1030 or later if I’m doing something. I went to SM then met my classmates at Lopue's East.

We just had to practice our presentation in Filipino for tomorrow. We chose to present The Buzz with the controversial celebrities today. It was fun! My part was Kris Aquino. And we had commercials in between.

I had a problem getting home because we were practicing in my classmate’s house and my car was parked a bit far. So I had to wait several minutes to let the rain pass. But then, it never did. I just decided to run because it was getting late. So, now I feel I’m sick.

personal stuff

2007-08-15T16:56:00.000+08:00

Enough of bad luck and carelessness! I’ve mentioned earlier that I lost my binder, right? Now, today I left my pencil case in w17 this morning and my accounting book and Religion manual in w26 this afternoon. Good thing my classmates gave it to Nissi and my things are with me again. I’m just so careless. I don’t know what’s happening, is it just bad luck? Or it is just my faith? I hope I won’t lost more things in the future!

Gemini

2007-08-14T19:17:00.000+08:00

I feel so tired right now. I am just so disappointed with what is happening. First, I lost my binder, where all my notes are written. I just don’t know how to handle it. I write even the itsy-bitsy things that I want to take note of. I can understand it more than anyone else. I just don’t know how to start all over again. Trials, I know.

I am also disappointed with some of my grades. Although I’m thankful that I’ve reached 81 in RS, it just makes me feel sick. This week is just not for me. It started bad. I know it will be bad luck for the rest of the days. I don’t rely on astrology but as curiosity struck me, I’ve browsed through yahoo astrology and I guessed it right. August 14 is not a good day for me. I’m hoping for brighter days ahead of me!

I've been relying on something for the past 3 moths and this failed me, that is why I feel as if its the end of the world.

2007-08-09T23:29:00.000+08:00

Recollection tomorrow! That means no lectures! haha I bought a prepaid simcard from globe because my text usage is excessing from my postpaid limit everytime. So I will just use it for unlimitxting. Prepaid is actually cheaper than postpaid. being unlimited for a month will just cost you 480php. And no joke, it is really worth it. I just can't let go of my postpaid simcard. Maybe soon, we'll see.

being 18 means,

No class tomorrow! Weheeeee!

I’ll be patiently doing my duty as a Filipino. Waaa. I’ll register in comelec tomorrow!

I’m exhausted at school. My dvdrom is broken. Lots and lots to think about

I am anticipating to watch several movies namely, bratz, rush hour 3, license to wed, nancy drew, hairspray, daddy day camp, I now pronounce you chuck and larry, who’s your caddy?.

8 random things you do not know about me

飞翔 tagged me about 8 random things. Some close friends already know these. And I already have listed my random facts about me in my friendster account so this will add to it.

1. I sleep early when I have so much to do and I stay up until 3am or so if I have nothing to do. Then the next day, I have a 730am class.

2. I drink lots of coffee during exam week, an average of 3 cups a day.

3. I used to hate accounting because it puts too much pressure on me when I was still majoring it. But now that I shifted to Information Management, I'm starting to love accounting because it is a minor subject and the lesson is easy.

4. I always have a hard time sorting out my bags in my bag hanger. It is very hard to choose which one should stay and which one should go.

5. I hate my red civic. I want a bigger one. A pick-up maybe. haha

6. I don't normally listen to class discussion. I just copy notes and review for a quiz at home. I don't understand the lesson if the test is not yet scheduled, and this always puts me at risk. I know it is bad. I am just too lazy to listen when I know that I can still catch up.

7. I really hate copycats! I can take backstabbers but copycats really boils me.

8. I am a mall person. The mall is my second home. haha or maybe it is my only home.

booo

2007-07-29T00:22:00.000+08:00

I became so sentimental today and I browsed through the pictures and videos from Taiwan. I almost burst in tears again. How sad is it to know that after two months, 67 days to be exact, of being back in the Philippines, we don’t have ym conference anymore. As if it was just a dream. Now we’re back to reality. I really don’t want this to happen, but what can I do? No matter how I want catch up with everyone, it seems impossible now. It is just so different being with those people everyday, spending the whole day with everyone as if that was the only thing left. My life revolved around eating, activities, tour, playing cards, sleeping so late, buying stuff (in short shopping), taking pictures, bus rides, having fun! I felt as if I had no problems to think about. I felt that I left everything in the Philippines and I was enjoying everything! Now it’s different. It is back to reality. I have to face it. It is sad.

tragedy

2007-07-15T18:20:00.000+08:00

I have been busy these past few days, even up to now. It is already exam week! A lot had happen actually. My maternal grandfather died last July 3 then my cousin had her wedding on the 8^th. She just had to pursue the wedding even with the situation. Everything had been planned months ago so it would be a drastic action if she will cancel it. And today is the burial. I have been going back and forth to Iloilo this month. My mother is from Iloilo so all the events are there. My grandfather was sick for quite some time already, about 80 days in the hospital. He his already 88, 92 in chinese. His death was already anticipated because of old age. But of course, we were hoping if he could be there in the wedding as well. We are a big family. We are about 50. And we are about to celebrate a grand birthday celebration for him on August. It has been a tradition for us to celebrate his birthday every year. My grandfather’s death was a day before Irene’s birthday. While his burial falls exactly at Karen’s debut. They are my cousins by the way.

mixed week

2007-06-26T14:48:00.000+08:00

I’m currently having an unbalanced week. Sometimes, I have too much time and got nothing to do. Often, I’ve got many things to do in so little time. My schedule is really crazy. We still have election and induction for GB and I feel bad about it. Having said that I’ll quit didn’t minimize my burden. I actually have the same load. I already said that I’ll quit being an officer last week and they persuaded me not to. Dadi Michael said that I don’t have to do many things for the preparation for the last activity. He is just asking me to be there, for the sake of the group. So I agreed. I will be a ghost member for the last week of our org.

FYI, this organization is called GreenBees Society, existing for the sake of Freshmen College of Business and Accountancy. Since I’m already a sophie, all we need to do is guide the “new” set of officers and leave, forever. But before that happens, we have to do so many things. But I say it sucks, making me wait 30min-1hr every time we meet. I partly regret being an officer in the org, who doesn’t? From the very first sessions, I already lost interest because of punctuality and attendance problem. I really wasn’t enjoying. It was on the latter part that I just decided to tolerate my suffering because the org will last for about a month or so.

But last week, I broke, I said I’d quit. And they said not to. So I am doing what they said. Just have my name on the list but I do not have to be there all the time. As a matter of fact, we have our election later and I won’t attend. It is my 1^st time to be absent, with no valid excuse. I just WANT to be ABSENT. That’s all. I only have class until 1030 but we had a meeting at 12-130 so I waited. Then I don’t have a class afterwards so I don’t like to wait for another 3 hrs because the election will be at 430.. I am sick and tired! If you are concerned with what I am saying here, don’t judge me, because I am just saying my opinion and my feelings. You don’t have to criticize my opinion, ok? I am just so tired!

Well, last Saturday, I just figured that my cabinet was too crowded. So I decided to clean it up. Here! I took a picture of my effort. hehe

life is short

2007-06-22T23:08:00.000+08:00

Eighteen years of existence and I felt the urge to say something about it. I know this is kinda late, but I have planned to summarize the significant happenings in my life, I just didn’t have time. I really don’t want to reach the legal age since I am happy being young. But I believe that nothing is permanent, even life. I am so down every time I think about my past, not that it was sad or what. I just want to cry, others call it tears of joy. I think it is essential to grow old, but it is a choice to be old.

I’ve said this many times already but I want to say it again. I feel so blessed of my life that I can’t think of anything more to ask. I know I wasn’t perfect, nor I was angelic to be so blessed by things that others have been asking to have as their own. I know that my family has been a great factor of this life. My friends are part of my well-being. I wasn’t even a perfect friend, although I tried to be good. But still, here they are, they remained the strongest. I chose many to be my close friends, but several also left me. Maybe I had something to do with it, I don’t know. All I know is that I love what I have now, they are the best. They understood my hardships and accepted me for who I am. I am sorry if I had mistakes in that past. I wasn’t that experienced in handling situations.

My mentors molded me for who I am today. I want to thank them for being harsh on me sometimes because those made me stronger. My high school life was the greatest. I won’t trade anything for it. It taught me everything I need to know to become who I am. I don’t know why I get this feeling every time I think of my high school life. It placed a scar in my heart. I can’t say specific situations that are significant. Well for me, everything is.

I have met numerous people through my travels, specifically in Taiwan. I have met true friends two years ago in my 6 weeks tour, but now we are not that connected. I know someday, this will also happen to my 3 weeks tourmates, but I really hope not. It is hard for us keep in touch. Yes, there is technology, but it feels incomplete. I still am sad of the fact that we are not lucky enough to be with you guys when you meet because we are here in the province. I consider of it as a disadvantage, but I think that is reality. I just have to accept that after many years, or even months, the YM conference that we have every night, will fade. Although I can’t do anything about it, I can’t stop reality, nor can’t I bring back time, I just want you to know that it was one of the best parts of my life.

I living a happy life seem too fast, too fast that I didn’t even notice that I am already an adult. Life is short. Live it to the fullest!

OMG, this is actually the last day that I can proudly say, “hey I’m just seventeen!”. I just can’t believe it. And I just can’t take it. I really don’t want to get older. I just love being young! I am still not stable in many things. I am not enrolled yet. Blaahhhh! I just can’t understand so many things. I hope I can handle those in a click. I just want to say something, before I actually turn legal. I hate it!

What I/we have done in Taiwan:

2007-05-31T16:09:00.000+08:00

I am more comfortable in using bulleted posts than paragraph forms. It is more efficient for me. Maybe you have read some of these in my previous post, but in a different category and I think posing it in bulleted form will be clearer. Now, I tell you again about my Taiwan trip.

We played pusoydos until the wee hours of the morning.
We played pusoydos on the bus, using bottled-water boxes for our table.
We shopped at night markets.
We took pictures as if it’s our last day on earth.
We didn’t sleep regularly in the hotel instead, we sleep in the bus.
Converse is so IN.
We drank coffee plaza regularly.
We ate Doritos nacho cheese often.
We drank milktea often too.
I had Taro/yam craving.
I used my jacket to hide from the sun.
We did our own laudry, I mean it, we hand wash.
I adored every Schnauzer and Terrier dogs that passed by me.
I hardly used my cellphone. Texting is expensive. Only Jovert enjoyed using my phone because he sent mp3’s to his phone.
We searched for starbucks.
I got the craze of UFO catchers! Got some cute stuff from it.
I bought so many colored Hi-Tec “G-Tec”.

Here are some pictures ;)

20 Things I’ve learnt in Taiwan:

2007-05-27T20:48:00.000+08:00

I’ve been there for three weeks so I’ve been used to leaving in that way. I’ve been on the 6 weeks tour 2 years ago, so they’re the same banana. Hehe. Got that line from my accounting teacher. Well, let me rephrase my title, “things I’ve mastered in Taiwan” because I’ve already learnt this years ago.

I’ve learnt to eat almost everything using nothing but chopsticks.
I’ve learnt how to do my own laundry.
I’ve learnt how to depend on maps.
I’ve learnt to depend on mrt for my transportation needs. (Although I’m already good in riding mrt 2 years ago, I still got confused when Kelvin asked me to transfer in a wrong stop going to jiantan. Haha. So we waited for another 5 minutes. I wasn’t on my mind that time because I was thinking of buying 3 watches that was worth 3knt each.)
I’ve learnt how to value time. Time is gold.
I’ve learnt how to cherish every moment that is given to me. ( I actually realized this on the end part of my trip)
I’ve learnt how to think of others, on another perspective and not just on my side.
I’ve learnt that having white skin means sacrificing the tour. (Not going with the tour means no exposing myself to the scorching heat of the sun.)
I’ve learnt that coffee has not effect on me. ( I drank coffeeplaza about 3-4 times a day)
I’ve learnt that Doritos Nacho cheese is the food of Spiderman.
I’ve learnt that having long bus ride is good; it can help me catch some sleep.
I’ve learnt that bottled water boxes can be used as tables for pusoy dos games.
I’ve learnt that people get paranoid when many people will be using a common bathroom, so they do it in advance. Some would take a bath at night, some would wake up as early as 4, like us, to beat the crowd. Try to relax, bet, maybe the bathroom will be empty at 7am.
Be careful with money management. Make sure you have money all through out the weekend. It is very hard if you run out of money in a foreign country, on a weekend.
I’ve learnt to be careful with bedbugs. Make sure your bed is safe of insects before sleeping.
I’ve learnt that taxi flagdowns vary in every place in Taiwan.
I’ve learnt not to rush in buying things. There are more stalls through out the night market. Try to canvas prices, but it will normally take time.
I’ve learnt how to bargain using my ID and saying “我是學生”.
I’ve learnt how to bargain using quantity.
I’ve learnt how to control my shopping urge. I actually bought fewer now, than two years back.

I’ll try to post more soon. If I remember saying more.

Taiwan Trip

2007-05-26T17:19:00.000+08:00

Well I made a summary cause i don't know exactly how to tell you guys what i feel. But if ever something pops out of my mind, i will just tell you again.

Wooo. No updates for 3 weeks. I don’t know how to start this, but I’ll try to tell you everything I can. It started last May 1. We had this orientation in Liberty Hall, Binondo where we met some of our groupmates. We never expected that the orientation will cause us the whole day, because we planned to go to 168 in the afternoon. So it was all messed up. I even ate at jollibee because there was no McDonalds near our hotel. May 2 was a free day. We initially planned to watch spiderman and go ice-skating at MOA as well. But, we really wanted to visit 168 so we decided to shop there the whole morning and continue to MOA in the afternoon. We had a hard time finding a taxi that would bring us to MOA. We finally ended up having a contract with one taxi. The spiderman movie was cancelled because we didn’t have enough time. We went ice skating for an hour and went home. The next day was the start of our Taiwan tour. Our flight was with China Airlines. When we reached Taiwan, I was excited about everything. I wanted to visit the places that I’ve been to two years ago. Our room assignments were given and we had to fix something. The tour went good. I never kept track of the things we’ve done. I already forgot the things in detailed. All I know is that we had a blast.

We painted lanterns and kites. We made doraemon using clays. But, my doraemon was lost so I don’t have it now. We made grasshoppers using leaves. We made dumplings. We made paper with our own hand print in it. We made paper fans. We rode a two-seater bike. We flew our kites. We visited schools. We played pusoy every night. We went to nightmarkets almost every night. We went to a theme park. We saw the queen’s head. We went to hot springs. We went to Taipei 101, which they claimed to be the tallest building in the world. We had our puppet presentation. We visited museums. We went to sun Moon Lake again. We played Chinese Yoyo. I bought a lot of colored Hi-tec’s…

Then, the worst day came 22nd, our last day. We had this farewell night and I was crying already. My eyes were swelling. We planned not to sleep at all until the 23rd. But when katrine and I got back from the shower, everyone was no where to be found, so we just slept at 5am, woke up at 7am. At 11am, we already need to transfer to the airport. I was not in my normal self that day. I was so lonely. We got into the bus and our yearbooks were distributed. I was not really thinking of anything else, but going home and leaving these folks. I was really sad. I think I was not yet prepared by the fact that this is just a 3 weeks trip. It should end. I was just not prepared that everything ended so fast. Unlike my other farewells, which I thought over several time before the real day.

When we arrived at the airport, I cried again. I was sitting near Jovert and Kelvin in the plane. I was so lonely because they’ve been close to me. Jovert was joking the whole time but it made me even lonelier. Again, I cried several times. He asked us if we wanted to meet up later on, I said yes, but it is difficult for us to meet because of transportation. We planned several times. I was still in tears. I was very affected of the departure because I know that it will be difficult for us, “taga-province” to be with them again. For them maybe it will just be easy, its just a text and a car ride away. For me, it is like goodbye forever. So I was very emotional the whole time. I cried the whole trip. We played pusoy for the last time. The airport moment was very fast. I haven’t even say my goodbye’s to my other friends. Well, if ever anyone of you is reading this, nice meeting you all.

I met a lot of great people that I know I will treasure forever. Thank you for making this trip memorable. You know who you are…

…. And a lot had happened. Don’t want to think of it anymore. It will just make me burst in tears again…

Jacklyn's

2007-04-29T10:33:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I’ve returned two days ago, but busy doing stuffs so didn’t update my blog. I’ve been to Jacklyn’s debut last night. Well, that’s all I can share cause I don’t have anything good to say except for being busy the whole time, figuring out what to pack for our trip. Another thing that keeps me busy is our flight schedule and lounging dilemma. Here are some pictures of Jacklyn’s party. Visit my multiply for a lot more.

2007-04-22T21:46:00.000+08:00

I'll be away for four days since I'll be going to Iloilo. I'll surprise my cousin Kevin because it is his birthday tomorrow. It's also part of my plan to visit Iloilo before the summer ends. So, no update from me for the next days folks! I just want to inform you that I'm so confused with my accounts in blogger and in multiply because my posts in blogger synchronize with my multiply's blog. I only use my multiply account for photos because I want to make sure that if ever my computer crashes, at least i have some photos kept in an online site. I consider my blogger account as my main diary and if ever you read posts from multiply, please ignore it, or just continue reading if you like to. Comments are greatly appreciated. :D bye.

she sucks

2007-04-20T20:36:00.000+08:00

I have a lot of time now, but I guess I have nothing to say much. I’ve decided not to take up hospitality management and take up information management instead. IM is one of my choices ever since. I just thought about what I want to take last night and it made me feel so pressured and stuck. I really haven’t seen the subjects to take up so I decided to inquire. It just popped in my mind late last night. I thought this is my last chance since I’ll be leaving on Monday. I thought about double-majoring so I asked about how long it will take me to finish HM and IM. The IM dean told me that it will take me about five years so I was not happy about it. I approached another CBA faculty and asked for the course descriptions and requirements of all CBA courses. I found out that HM is practically more of catering, food science and stuff, I wasn’t too interested with that. I read the IM subjects and I got interested with web design and computer graphics & multimedia. So I hurriedly processed my requirements and suffered from extreme heat. Finally, I passed my application and went home. With my current status, I hate someone VERY much that my blood boils every time I think of that person.

new layout

2007-04-16T09:36:00.000+08:00

Actually, it is not my plan to change my layout since I stil appreciate my old one. I am not the type who change layout so often. In fact, I hardly change. WIth the fact that I am not good in html and stuff. I made it up last night while talking to someone over the phone. I don't know. It was just my instict to do that. :P

it caught fire

2007-04-14T21:08:00.000+08:00

My typical summer day, it has been always like this. I would normally spend a week or two out of the country then after that, I would spend the rest of summer helping out in our electrical company. I started manning our store this week, just got back, Monday. It has always been boring. Good thing we have internet connections so I can spend some time online while suffering from the intensive heat of summer. I answer the phone or act as a cashier. It is an easy job, but boring. I still do it because I don’t have anything good to do at home.

Well today is a normal day for us. I ate out during lunch and shop for an hour or so. Got home tired and feeling dirty of dust and smoke. I am in the mood for sorting out my bags. I have this coat hanger where I hang my bags instead. And it’s so full nowadays that it’s beginning to lean. It’s my leaning-bag-hanger. I finally cleaned up some unwanted bags. I placed all my clutch bags in a plastic and hanged it in another place. I was trying to figure out what to do next when my mom entered my room. She said she was going to our electrical shop because there was fire in a building across the street. I said ok, and shouted that I also wanted to go. I was already wearing my pajamas so I hurriedly put on working clothes and ran to the car. When we reached the area, it wasn’t a big fire. It was already put down by the firemen. We were talking to other familiar people about the happening and they said it was from an internet shop across the street. Good thing it did not spread to the next store, where there are gallons of paint. It might have been worst.

Here is the picture of my hanger

Holy Week

2007-04-10T21:42:00.000+08:00

Just got back from Macau, Kowloon and Hong Kong yesterday, so I was so tired to blog. And I was busy chatting the whole night. Missed being online so much. Well, the vacation was a 7 day tour. It was fun! The weather was great, having a 10-18°c. I was with my relatives. We were 21 all in all. It was fun because we were a lot. The only thing that irritates me is the Ocean Park tour. It was so crowded that I didn’t have any ride except for the cable car. The cable car had about a kilometer of queue. But the queue was moving fast so it was about a 45minutes waiting time. But the other required 1-2 hrs of waiting! I was frustrated queuing the whole time. Macau is so-so. The food wasn’t so great but the Casinos were nice. I didn’t get the chance to enter one though, because I’m still a minor. But I had some pictures taken outside the casinos. Disneyland is better. It had a no-queue to 60 mins-waiting-time queue. The fireworks was great because of the music. But it wasn’t far different from our Bacolaudiat fireworks. I love shopping in Mongkok! The nightmarkets were awesome.I saw Gerald Anderson strolling around the electronic shops in tsim sha tsui, Kowloon. I had my picture with him :D. Well, maybe looking at my pictures will tell you more. Visit my multiply site will be better.

not enough time

2007-03-27T16:16:00.000+08:00

I really don't have time to blog right now, but I'll just say a few words. I already got admitted to another course, HM. I am not actually anxious about it, but my screening schedule has conflict with my class schedule. So, I was nagging for four says because the faculty was always empty. I can't reschedule my screening today. Good thing we were dismissed early in business management, so I rushed to the HM faculty and I found many students waiting for their turn. Goodthing my family name starts with "C" so i was one of the earliest to be called. Well, the interview was easy. I was not nervous at all, compared to accountancy exams. So I'm kinda happy about it.

Then the hard part. My Math teacher said that my assignment is lost, so she gave me a ZERO! Is that fair?!?!?!?!? I am not the one responsible for it. I passed it! duh. So meaning, I can't be exempted from the exam. She's so unfair. She even exempted some people that have line of 8 in prelim! I had a 93 and a 94! It is just a homework, which comprises about 10% of the equivalent grade. And to think, it is not my fault that my paper got lost! :(

weee, a good day

2007-03-20T19:17:00.000+08:00

As I woke up, i already felt that this is gonna be a good day. My prediction never went worng.

I finally figured out what’s wrong with my desktop! My firewall is being hysterical! It says it allowed the programs that use, but it actually blocked them. I still didn’t know what’s wrong with Sygate, so I just reinstalled it. I’m soooooooooooooooooo happy today! Got a HIGHer score in accounting! Bwahahaha I finally can breathe. Our midterm grades finally came out, a week before finals. So stressful. I am tensioned by our requirements for now. I miss playing basketball at WOF! Woaw. And we hard play pusoy dos these days.

details

2007-03-18T19:32:00.000+08:00

Sorry cause I didn’t state the reason why I didn’t have enough time to blog in my last post. Well, my desktop’s wifi isn’t working so I have to use the laptop, my father’s, my sister’s or my brother’s pc to go online. I can’t do things properly when I’m not using my own pc. I am just not used to it. I can't work with that. So I choose to keep quiet until my desktop will be fixed.

all about my car

2007-03-17T19:42:00.000+08:00

Ok so I have a lot to tell but I don’t have enough time. Today isn’t really something to tell. I’d rather elaborate more about yesterday.

My emotional status is quite OK, thank God! We did not have our last period class so I was already free at 130pm. We decided to take a walk around the university and we stopped at my car. We decided to take a rest so Kristine and I jumped in the car while others were standing outside. We were hysterically talking about many things, primarily the clothes that they will wear for their PE presentation. I did not notice what was happening until Kristine asked me why the car was moving (while she was turning the steering wheel). I told her, “of course, because the wheels move”. I didn’t mind her because I was busy chatting but she still continued to do that. After a while, she pressed the horn and they were all shocked (including Kristine). The rest of them are in front of the car so they heard the loud noise directly. Kristine Ong was still playing with the steering wheel and I told her to stop, while jokingly say, “what if I can’t reach home”

I was getting bored so I decided to go home. As I arranged my things, I was surprise to find out that my steering wheel was locked. It is the car’s initiative to lock itself to prevent car-napping. I was getting worried and I don’t know how to fix it at all because the car won’t start, the keys won’t turn. Then Jean said that we might need help so she texted her friend to help us. When her friend, Mark came, he turned the keys and the car started. It was stiff to turn the keys so only a strong person can do that. So I was relieved and I started driving.

I was doing my routine driving, passing through the same streets I pass everyday, when I suddenly remembered to go to my family’s workplace. I decided to turn to this unfamiliar road going to the place’s direction, west, when I realized that the road was getting farther, farther than it should be. I was turning left and right when I realized that I don’t know where I’m heading. I was just feeling calm because after all I am still in Bacolod. I finally got to this familiar landmark and felt relief. I was still driving towards west when I realized that I was wrong, I was moving back to where I’ve been. Then I turned back again and decided to just go home.

Talking about almost 18 years of existence here in Bacolod, Sheeeesh.

surprises

2007-03-12T19:41:00.000+08:00

ARGH another stressful day. Got a test in accounting and again, I had no answer. I am so stressed that I cried after the quiz. I still am waiting for our midterm grade considering that we are about 2 weeks till endterm exam already. What a waste of time. I hate myself for not studying. I admit; I did not study. So I feel regret right now. I know I should’ve studied. It’s so hard for me to think about that happening.

Oh well, on the happier side we just had our surprise for jo-ann last Saturday. Waa. Our plan was not really a plan; it was not more of preparation. I am just used to preparations that I consider that event so candid. Well, it was hard to communicate with my high school friends but we still managed. We made everything almost on the spot. We ordered cake the day before. We were not sure where to surprise her. We were not sure how many will be there. We did not prepare enough food. When we reached the said venue, the subdivision club house, there was an event hat night so we can’t use the club house. We hurriedly decided to do it in her house without even asking the permission of her aunt. We said that we will start preparing the venue at 1pm but we arrived at 2, which is very unusual because I don’t get late. Well the surprise was not so surprising because we were confused when she arrived so we quickly light the candles and we even did not finish doing it because she was there in front of us when we realized that we took so long lighting the candle. The party poppers were even not synchronized. But at least she was shocked seeing us there.

Here are some pictures. See my multiply for more.

what a day

2007-03-06T19:15:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the long stagnation of my blog. I am just so busy. And I am frustrated.

Just got back from school and heck, so many things happened. We had our recollection the whole day. But I hate the fact that it wasn’t effective. I don’t find any significance in that activity. I was just anxiously waiting for it to end. By 430, we had to attend our soroptimis international meeting so there we were waiting outside C15.. The room was empty. I thought the meeting was over or they transferred the venue so I called all my other colleagues to ask. There was no answer. It was about 440 already so I was worried because I thought before that we can’t attend the meeting anymore because our recollection was schedule until 530. Soroptimis International is a club for women business professionals. It is starting to form a Sigma society chapter in our school.

We were supposed to be attending our seminar that time for our group guidance class but we thought it was not compulsory. The seminar was about the majoring that commerce students must have knowledge about so that we they can decide what to major. But as accountancy student, it was also dedicated to us because it is just a little possibility that we can reach 4^th year. Eventually the accountancy students will get fewer each year due to insufficient grade of below 83. We decided not to attend the seminar because the teacher said it was not required. I am shifting to HM so I was not interested with the seminar.

Then I received the bad news. My classmate texted me saying that we will have minus 10 in our GG grade if we don’t attend the seminar. So I was panicking head to toe because we will be starting our induction of officers in Soroptimis. I was so irritated with some people.

First, she hates us. She really implemented the minus 10 because she hates us.

Second, she is so selfish that she lets me feel that I am the one responsible for the conflict of schedule that in the first place, I didn’t force her to join. The details are confidential so I might not post it here. Yes I am convincing people to participate because I am just doing what an active member is supposed to do. It is really unfair to just list you as an officer by name but you are just using the position. It is also unfair not doing anything if you took the responsibility. It is just not a good leader must be. If you don't want to help, then don't. Don't just use the name to be glamorous.

Oh God! I so hate this day. I spent the whole day praying then I was shocked when my mood was turned upside-down in just a matter of an hour.

love for fireworks

2007-02-24T22:53:00.000+08:00

Waaa.

Just got back from the city Plaza to celebrate Bacolaodiat! MYGOD! The fireworks were amazing! It was boring at first, but after an instance, napa “woah!” ako. I was thinking that it was not worth watching, but I was wrong! I definitely will appreciate fireworks from now on. I hate myself for not being able to watch last year because of MY responsibility it has always been a burden! But they say this year is way better than last year! Curse my batchmates for not giving me even just a glance at the spectacular show! At least they say that this year is better. But believe me it can’t compete internationally but, not bad. It is really different watching the fireworks display live. It is a bad thing that I wasn't able to time the show, but it is roughly 30mins. The fireworks was worth P200,000, and it was sponsored by SM. FYI, SM is gonna open its doors on Thursday, March 2, so it’s part of their advertisement.

OMG I know my entry is untidy, sorry. Ok I’ll explain it to you.

Last year, our batch had fundraising activities to pay our yearbook so the bacolaodiat festival was part of our target. We rented a booth and sold goods. As the treasurer, and as the only one RESPONSIBLE! Or let me say concerned, I was left in our booth when the fireworks started, as if I needed money from that activity! Ok, because of liability I managed to wait patiently and suffer from curiosity. Why do I have this conscience of not giving up from my work? I always suffered. I was very patient. I didn’t saw anything. I haven’t joined the parade. I was so not enjoying!

So, enough about last year, at least I witnessed the “better” fireworks display now! Bwahaha and we had this parade yesterday representing USLS. Yes, I’m now representing my Filsino club in college but the club is still consist of my high school friends, so basically I was still with the taytungains. I wanna watch fireworks display in Disneyland, they say they have a good show. I hope I can do that this summer. I was not able to blog yesterday because I was waiting fir our pictures from my friend’s cam. But until now I haven’t seen her online so maybe I’ll post more pictures from the parade soon. But now I’ll just share some of my pics and my fireworks picture.

hmphh

2007-02-22T21:08:00.000+08:00

I hate someone so much. I want to cry but I can’t cry. Crying often makes me feel at eased. I don’t know why I take things way too seriously. I know that these are just trials making me feel blue. I realized that pleasing someone I don’t really like is like fooling me to believe that I can surpass this person. It is so hard. I need to understand every side to decide what path to go into. I tried understanding. I even tried pretending. I made myself believe that nothing’s happening. I admit that I am mean. But I even tried not to just to fix this. I often find myself wondering what happened today and what improvements I have, but disappointment always prevails.

Oh well, my accounting grade is not yet out. I am so anxious about it. It greatly adds to my anxiety. Hay. Life, I often consider it easy but now I realized that it is the opposite. There are ups and downs as they say. But I was often facing the brighter side that I don’t know how to handle my problems today. I just wanna drag those eyeballs out of that stupid face! i hate you!

Yeap, and it’s a new year alright. The year of the golden pig, the celebration here in Bacolod haven’t started yet because City officials gave way to Iloilo to celebrate it first. We will celebrate Bacolaodiat next weekend. But hey, even Filipinos are celebrating with our traditions. We have this dragon dance that go around Bacolod’s business district. The dragons are considered good luck and are expected to enter the Chinese stores, then owners are likely to put money inside the dragon’s mouth. This has been a tradition. And there are a lot more ethnicity during Chinese New Year.

BigTwo

2007-02-15T19:25:00.000+08:00

I have a confession to make. I have this fun practice with my Accountancy classmates in playing Pusoy Dos, also known as Big2. We play the game more than we listen to our teachers. Most of the people that notice our games would say “daw casino classroom nyo bah”, your classroom is like a casino. We have an average of 3-4 decks of cards every time we play. We play during breaks, before class, after class, during class and before the teacher arrives. Yes, we play even when we have class, we laying during Religion, English, Math and even Accounting. It is like automatic already that we play pusoy when we have free time, or even if we are busy, we shift our stress by playing.

We use this game to lessen our anger, to calm down, to forget about something and to entertain ourselves. You are not a certified BABA student if you don’t know how to play pusoy dos. We often challenge Denver, and we jokingly discriminate him and his school by saying “ wa wala man na pulos product sang st john’s man, mga pirdi” the products of st john’s are useless because they are losers. But he never takes that seriously, he would wait for his turn and answer back when one of us form Tay Tung would lose and he would say “ you are losers, not me”. Well that’s it. I may think that I only enjoy schooling because of pusoy dos. I’m so bad.

yeah, the 14th

2007-02-13T16:51:00.001+08:00

As I’ve said, I hate valentines. The only good thing about the 14^th of February is that it is the birthday of Kris Aquino, whom I greatly adore. I’m right. It is the worst day in the year. We have EXAMS this week! I can’t study for my major subjects the next day. Considering I have a 79 in prelim. And, my accounting exam is at 730-930. *sighs* Well, enough. Hehe I remember my escapade with Jo-ann last vday. Boo. Yes, I miss my old pals, but I never will miss that day! I just look on the future, the brighter side, I guess. They will *again* be busy preparing for the final qualifying exam, and I will be soooo bored observing them. But I hope to enjoy my last term with my BABA classmates. And I am so damn excited for summer!

Enjoy your Valentines Day everyone!

*I won’t be updating tomorrow so better greet you now*

Yeah, I’ve been thinking lately about my life. I consider myself lucky. However, there are really times when I think of getting something I don’t have or being someone I’m not. It is all about contentment. I am somehow contented. And contentment also gives problems to a friendship. It is not dreadful to aim for something but we should be sure to do it properly. Contentment also comes with jealousy as it causes misunderstanding, most of the time.

Personally, having a bad relationship with my friends makes me feel awful. I know I can’t fulfill their needs neither can they fulfill mine. Sometime, we fight over the shallowest things but we just don’t know how to handle it and reconcile in the end. I admit that I am not good in fixing relationship as I end up yielding. It often makes me feel awful to have a conflict with others. I am pretty much affected with my surrounding and I often cannot focus on what I’m doing.

Well, back to my life. I have to face reality that there are really people who just befriend you just because they need something from you. At my back, I am just trash that can be recycled and be thrown away again. I’ve experienced enough to testify what I am saying right now. I think I am an entirely different person. I don’t use people to complete my needs since I think that I often complete the needs of others. I will not be counting the things I did for you if you just stay with me even if I have nothing to offer you or when I am simply down. I have undergone so many people who treat me like this. I feel betrayed because I know that I was honest to you when you were just using me in the first place. I also pity people who use others to compensate with their desires. I know a hand-full of them by the way. They are just like, blinded.

I don’t know if what others think of me, because in reality, we can never see the negative side of us. I am just trying to analyze what I hate most about other people so that I can imply it to my personality and avoid doing the same.

hectic day

2007-02-03T20:28:00.000+08:00

And so, our pre-qualifying exam for accountancy is over. It took us 4 hours to answer it. And mind you, I only answered about 3 out of 50 short problems. I didn’t answer our 3^rd part exam which was the long problem, and I just made patterns in my 1^stpart exam. Oh well, enough for my mind-breaking experience. I won’t major in accountancy anyways.

I’ve been thinking for the past few days. I don’t like the hassle in accountancy. My classmates are topsy-turvy in reviewing for the qualifying exams that we should take and I on the other hand am just enjoying my life and fulfilling my wants. I’ve been playing basketball at World of Fun Arcade almost thrice a week. If only I can have my grades as high as my scores in basketball. :)

We watched Night at the Museum last Thursday and it was uber fun. I went out with Denver the “heartbroken”, Khriza the “scholar” still, and Herreal the “loud one” hehe. We enjoyed the afternoon, really, well maybe except for Denver because he had a fresh break-up the day before. *-*

I will be facing a lot of troubles this February! We will have our midterms the week after. There will be a Chinese New Year Celebration exactly the day of our final qualifying exam. And I am planning not to take the final quali since I will be shifting after all. We might have a parade on the 23^rd for the Bacolaodiat this year. I’m kinda excited for some activities but I’m so nervous with some. Another qualifying exam for Management Accountancy is yet scheduled on the 1^st week of March. *sigh*

Shout Out: Advance Happy Birthday Katrine!!! I’ll greet you again tomorrow :D

My elephant

2007-01-19T22:55:00.000+08:00

I pity something right now! I told you about my elephant-shape mouse-wrist-rest ayt? I really love it and I treasure it so much. It has glow-in-the-dark stars inside and it is pretty colorful. Well now, it is dying! Haha. It is the eye-catcher in my room just because every person who enters always notices it. They always play with it and squeeze him in torture. I always have a hard time protecting my stuff and I always pity him in the end. Now, it is so dirty and is about to rip open. I worry a lot of loosing it. I don’t think I can still replace it cause I bought it from Singapore and I haven’t seen one here in the Philippines! Urgh! Here is a picture of my beloved stuffs, my mouse-wrist-rest and my pink mouse. haha

You have the skills to control your emotions, you just have to use them.

How Emotionally Mature Are You?

Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.
You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey.
You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

You Are 64% Spoiled

You're pretty spoiled, but you probably don't think you're spoiled enough.
No doubt about it, you're living the good life. Maybe a little too good!

Are You Spoiled?

Here is the funny part, it says that i should study accounting well in fact I am an accountancy student right now and I'm planning to shift course next year.

We had these series of tests in Group Guidance this morning. Our guidance counselor interpreted them and it turned out that i should get computer science, technology, accounting or management because i had high scores in those fields. I actually got a perfect score in comsci. Yes, I am interested in computers but I am afraid of facing people that are already in superior in it. I know, I should try it because I enjoy computer and technology and I have also interest in it, but I will just take Management accounting. Accounting stuffs and computer stuffs are in the list of my choices since high school. If I'll combine them, i would go double major, but i don't like to be double-majored cause I will be under College of Arts and Sciences and I already love my CBA *college of business and accountancy* family.

The interpretation also says that I am under-achieving which means that I can do more than what i am doing right now becuase i had a superior IQ score but I only got an above average in my current academic performance . So, the guidance counselor says that I am just LAZY but I can actually do better. Everything she says is extremely correct! It says that I am dominant in things that I want. I push anything that i want to happen and I usually get what i want. AND take note, according to blogthings, I am spoiled. See the picture?

Huhuhu… :(

Bye 2006

Welcome 2007!

First post for 2007, what can I say?

2006 is not a good year for me, but it is not that bad. Many things had happened that I can consider it below average. But, I am so afraid to face 2007, which is the year of the pig. FYI, I am Chinese and we believe in zodiacs. Pig is the worst enemy of Snake, and I am a snake, which means that we are the most unlucky. Another thing, I will be turning 18 this year and I HATE it. I am so not happy of being in legal age. I don’t even like growing old. Now I miss my game boy. waaa

My dream!

2006-12-31T09:35:00.000+08:00

Wa! I am so happy right now! I just got the mail! I passed Business Management!! Yeay! I just got to think about accounting grades after that!

I am dying to visit Africa! I want to see Table Mountain in Western Cape, South Africa. I want to see the famous silver leaf tree. Can anyone bring me there? I will surely enjoy Egypt in North Africa if given a chance. I want to visit the Great Pyramids of Egypt. I know it is difficult to go there but I am really interested with it. I am also planning to visit Australia but it is not number one in my list. The problem is, my uncle had already been to Australia and they are our travel companion every summer. He plans to visit Japan this summer, but if ever Japan pushes through, I won’t go with them. I’d rather go back to Hong Kong than Japan. I just don’t like Japanese, not that I hate them or something. I just don’t like their food and their fashion. I can’t wait till summer arrives!

Reunion

2006-12-29T09:10:00.000+08:00

I was having a hard time signing in. Well, I am currently so down. I am so scared with my grades in business management. I was so stupid not to check the counting of the teacher and I ended up failing our one and only quiz. Now, I have to face reality, because it is grade giving time and my mail (which is suppose to be our report card) has not arrived yet. That letter will gain me additional points but it is nowhere to be found. My classmates have already received theirs so I guess I am really failing. I still have a major problem to face. I don’t know how to explain it, but I’ll try to give details it later.

I am so tired right now that I can fall asleep in a wink. I just came from our NEXT Christmas reunion and I am dying! But, it was fun! We prepared the props for the games since December 19 and we inflated the balloons from 2-5PM today. My fingers were swelling because I and Geneveive were knotting the balloons. We were preparing for the balloon war. We had other games that were not the classic party games. They were partially different. The party itself was entertaining but I was a little annoyed with the noise. The room was so small that all of our long-kept conversations were echoing. It was just frustrating to see some people not joining the crowd. They were not cooperating that much and it was hard to convince them to join. The picture-taking madness was also fun! Everyone was so vain that we smile in all cameras if a person attempts in taking pictures. The party was really loud. I would like to attend another reunion in the future but not as an organizer, but as an ordinary guest. :D

Christmas day

2006-12-25T15:19:00.001+08:00

I have mixed emotions right now! Argh! It is Christmas day, yet I feel empty. I have so much in mind. I think of unnecessary things, which I hate. I just got home from the Tiok Lim Christmas party. It was so disgusting, so boring. Again, I saw my Chinese classmates form high school that I normally see on Chinese gatherings (i.e. temple festivals and Chinese celebrations). And i also saw almost all chinese community in Bacolod. I just feel sad. I don’t know why. I am so disappointed this Christmas maybe because I am thinking of having classes again and receiving our prelim examinations grades. I am so terrified. I am thinking of writing about the significant events of 2006, but I guess I am so disturbed that I cannot. Maybe if I really am in the mood to write then I will.

My Christmas Eve

2006-12-24T22:49:00.001+08:00

Yes, I talk back about a person. Who does not? Neither of us is perfect. The thing is, few of us accept and admit the truth. Am I right? This is actually not quite an issue, it just popped into my mind :D.

Yeah it is Christmas Eve, and I got a ‘timus timus’ or cellulitis as what it is properly called. But according to my readings, cellulitis sounds too severe so I prefer using the local term. The inflammation is not actually too huge, I didn’t even recognize it at first, but I’m not happy. Come to think of it, it is Christmas Eve and almost all drugstores are close. I have driven to five drugstores and they don’t have the medicine that I was looking for. What a Christmas! I am not enjoying Christmas! I am actually sad.

i found out something

2006-12-19T19:32:00.000+08:00

I recently discovered that I am a deep thinker. I worry a lot. I don't find myself doing things that i don't plan carefully. I am not a risk taker. I do things which I think is right. I fight for what I think is right. I normally admit my mistake and take it as a lesson. I admit it because what good will happen if I deny things that is true to me? I know it becomes sarcastic if I think of other people’s error except mine, but I accept the truth that I also am not perfect. I also do what I hate about other people’s practices. I am sometimes a one sided person. I hate being that way but I can’t stop it. I am just open to say that I commit mistakes but it seems that I am mean. I just want people to also realize what they do, and not just what other people do.

I am very hard to please, hate to admit it, but it is true. I sound demanding and bossy at times but I just do what I think is right. I put my self in the right place and do what I should do. I normally alter to this character if I am given the responsibility, which usually happens. I just want to let people know my experience by putting themselves in my position. It is very hard to handle people that do not want to be handled. It is also difficult to ask someone’s help if he is not willing. It is complicated to fit in everyone’s tastes.

It is impossible to please everyone...

high school

2006-12-14T22:23:00.000+08:00

Yeah and I so miss my life back in high school, where I get to sleep in front of too many things to do cause they can be done in a 15 minute recess or a period in Chinese class. I miss the campus because I am familiar with almost everyone and everything. I am familiar with the cars at the lobby, I even know almost all of the drivers, I recognize the owners of the bags that wait with me at the lobby every afternoon, and I know almost all the security guards, the janitors and the personnel. I so miss my mostly-successful cram-studying that I usually do in our day to day quizzes, or simply the life that I really enjoy in high school. I miss the activities in Tay Tung, the contests, the Chinese new year celebration, the Mooncake festival and the loyalty week! I miss my stable classroom. I miss the people I see on a cycle. It is just not the same. My life now is so messy. I don’t like the reality that we have to change classrooms every subject that we take. I only enjoy Business Math class this semester. This is the only time I can reminisce my high school existence. I do the same thing.

my old blog is dull

2006-12-14T10:43:00.000+08:00

This is my new blog. I just think my old blog is boring and I’m hoping that this one will not be. I am not good in blog-making. I just write if I want to but mostly if I have nothing to do. But now, I’m usually busy. My oh-so-random url is inspired by what I am chewing right now. I have a canister of rock candy that I bought from a friend that had a relative who came from the states. This candy is meaningful to me, as you can see, we eat this during Business Math and this caused my molar band to loose! It has 5 different colors with different tastes. Pinkish-red is cherry, yellow is banana, green is apple, orange is orange and brown is chocolate. I hate the banana! I gave it all to Denver cause he loves it! I have two eating companions during Business Math, Khriza the “ scholar” and Denver the “abnormal”. We usually eat HOT Nagaraya or Mr. Chips. We normally buy something to drink at the cafeteria before the teacher arrives. During ordinary days ( no quiz), we play Pusoy Dos or Tong-its in our desks. We sit at the back portion of the room so it seems that no one cares. We recite all the time and we enjoy the subject! See how exciting Business Math is?
