“O loyal Benedictine children…”

October 18th, 2005 by imager

Masaya ang college. Period. Ngunit hindi mo maikakailang ang haiskul ang isa sa pinakamakulay na yugto sa buhay ng tao. Hindi ba?

Eh ako. Labing isang taon sa loob ng St. Scho. Nakatira na ata ako run eh. Hehe. Namemorize ko na ata ang buong mapa ng campus, pati na rin yung mga puno, maintenance, mga tao. Hay… Nakakamiss. At kahit na minalas ang batch namin at naabutan ng "tyrannical" administration, gusto ko pa ring balik-balikan ito.

Things I miss most:

  • yung magandang feeling kapag maaga kang dumating sa campus.. maaga kasi akong nahahatid sa school. Malamig tapos maaaninag mo yung sikat ng araw. Kakaiba talaga. Lalo na nung fourth year, kasama ko pang gumala sa empty corridors si Mai2 at si Melissa (mga maaga ring nasusundo), nag iingay at nangungulit kina Sir Joey at Mrs. Fitero (na maaga ring nasusundo!)
  • yung mga tambayan sa canteen.. ayan. maingay ako dyan. nung first year, dun kami sa canteen extension sa tapat ng spooky rubber tree. second year, sa may quadrangle naman (at dun pa talaga kami sa tapat ng flagpole!nyahaha). third year sa may tapat ng guidance. tas fourth year sa tapat ng faculty eating area! Nyahahahaha. Nag-aamok kami habang nananahimik ang mga guro sa pagkain ng lunch. Wahehe.
  • Sir Joey! talaga. miss ko na tong henyong to. Ayaw kasing patawag na Dr. Joey eh. O kaya Mr. Pascual, Ph. D. hehehehe. Lahat ng hirit, quotes, patawa… naaalala ko pa. "Ladeez…" haha. tsaka yung pagkakaiba ng uod sa bulate na snippets of info galing ata sa kanya. Haynaku! Favorite teacher ko talaga to. Bonus.. Kamukha pa si Jose Rizal!
  • fields, fields, and more fields. Yung grade school field, malawak, walang masyadong puno. Masayang magpiknik at mag kick ball kapag disme. Yung high school field, puro puno naman, tas may mga benches and tables. Tambayan ko to nung fourth year, kasama si Laisa, Adi, Mai2, Jevs, Jen, at si Jo. Dito kami nagffoodtrip pag may pera.. usually Monday or Tuesday.
  • Religious "happenings"… para kaming nuns-in-training noon eh. after ng flag ceremony, may paraliturgy ang bawat class. before and after classes, may prayer dapat, at hindi basta basta "our father" o kaya "hail mary" kundi dapat "personal prayer". You have to make up your own prayer kung ikaw ang prayer leader. After recess and lunch, may 5 minute silencing moment. Kailangan tatahimik ka at magmemeditate. Tapos three o clock prayer pa tska angelus. Kapag October, everyday magppray ng rosary. Not to mention yung 2 Institutional Mass, mga First Friday Masses, confession, adoration, way of the cross… hwooh! miss ko na to.. lalo na pag nag - ooffer sa mass..hehe
  • Yung mga classroom. hehe. iba kasi eh.. tas yung apat na science labs, yung chapel, yung Sr. Irmengardis hall (mukhang wala ka sa St. Scho pag andun ka), yung CAI room, AVR, Music Room, yung 2 Gym, Computer Lab, Parking Lot, Tower Gate, … hm.. basically lahat.
  • Sportsfest! Actually, ang habol ko lang dun eh yung shirts. i got d yellow one nung first year, red nung 2nd, blue nung 3rd year, tas (sayang! green na lang sana para kumpleto) red ulit nung 4th. haha Natatawa ako kasi napili yung design ko for the shirt nung second year, and supposed to be, may dove sa loob ng torch.. yung flames mukhang dove kaya "artistic". looking back, fried chicken pala yung design. Nyahahahaha

Sembreak Blues

October 17th, 2005 by imager

Grabeh.. Hindi ako sanay sa ganito kahabang sembreak. Halos isang buwan, akalain mo naman. Wala akong masyadong magawa. Buti na lang may libreng internet dito sa ofc ni dad (wahehe) or else mamamatay ako sa b o r e d o m.

Cge. Magfafantasize na lang ako..

Hm.. Ano kayang mangyayari sa akin ten years from now? Malamang (uh.. wait lang…) twenty six years old na ako! Naku, ang tanda ko na nun pala. Hopefully nasa medical profession na ako (naks.). Gusto kong magtrabaho sa magandang ospital. Medical City? St. Luke’s? Wahehe. Basta ayokong maging nurse! Or magtrabaho sa ibang bansa. Ayoko..

Ten years from now… gusto ko may sarili na akong place dito sa Manila. Maghahanap ako ng magandang apartment: roomy, well-ventilated, well-lighted, tsaka may laundry service. hehe. Sana lang may pambayad ako ng rent by that time. O well. Sana may car na rin ako by that time… maliit lang okey na sakin. Tulad ng Honda City na light blue..kaso malamang naphase-out na yun in ten years.

Ten years from now… (abah, speech ba ito?!) gusto ko may mga pamangkin na ako. Hmm.. thirty plus pa lang ang ate ko at fresh out of college pa lang ang kapatid ko in ten years. Whatever! Basta gusto ko ng pamangkin. Malamang kasi wala pa akong sariling pamilya by that time no. I have to focus on my job. wahehehe. Lovelife? Hm… Let’s wait and see. Que sera sera.

*snap*

Ang saya magfantasize! Di na ako bored :D

Unlimited, Limited

September 28th, 2005 by imager

Ang galing galing talaga ng Globe!

Kung icocompare sa Smart at Sun, eto na ata ang may pinakamabagal na reaction time.

I mean, kung tao siya, at nagjojoke yung mga kaibigan niya, mga limang minuto pa ang gugugulin bago siya maka-utter ng "ha..ha.."

Hainaku!

Kaya naman nung nalaman kong may txt nonstop na ang Globe, you could just imagine my reaction. Aargh!

haha

Kung kelan kasi nakaline na ang phone ko saka lang nila naisip na gawin yun ano!

haha ulet

Still, lately launching an unlimited text promo is still better than no promo at all. At masaya naman kasi inextend ng Globe up to 27 Oct ung promo. At pwede na yung mga nakaplan. Ang bait ni God! At tamang tama rin kasi marami ako talagang katext ngayon: si Roni (baleew! crazy! nyahaha) na talagang magtetext pa sayo na "m bored. nsa jip ako. tok 2 me." para lang magtext ka (aww..), si Kuya Aidz na never na tumigil sa katetext at kapipindot ng "nyahahaha" sa bawat text message (aww…), si Ninya, ang bespren kong never ko pang nakita after gr.6 pero lagi pa ring humihingi ng advice sa pag-ibig, si Jolupie, na naka-unli dahil naimpluwensyahan ko ata, at marami pang iba. Ang sayasaya. Masakit na thumb ko sa katetext, pero okeeey lang!

Sana forever na to! Hehe. Asa pa ko no?! O well. May plan pa naman eh.

It’s been so long, huh?

September 28th, 2005 by imager

So, after forty eight years -haha- I’ve finally made another entry to this blog! Musta naman?

Things I’ve done since the last blog entry…

  1. Midterms- actually, hindi ko nafeel yung pressure ng midterms… parang napapansin ko lang na nagmumukhang haggard yung mga tao sa paligid. hehe Math 17 midterms was actually easier for our class compared to other sections. Galing kasi ni Ma’am Mia eh! hm.. parang si Sir Joey nung fourth year (discrepancy… ladeez…nyahaha). Walang midterms sa English, the Geog exam was "practical", kakafirst exam lang sa Geol tsaka Logic. hehe ang galing ko pumili ng mga prof at subject! whoohoo
  2. Taal Field Trip- ayan! Highlight ng semester ko. For Php 670, nakapaghiking ka na sa taal. (i posted some pics here). First time ko lang makapagexperience ng trekking! Mental notes: Kapag sinabi ng prof na magdala ng approximately two liters of water, he’s not exaggerating! You’ll really lose like, 5 kilos walking uphill. nyahaha
  3. Dance Comp- Culminating event ng PE 2 Social Dance! Da best grabe. Si Erin yung naging dance partner ko, and with his expertise in dancing (yikoy), we ended up as finalists! Akalain mong may katiting pala akong talent pagdating sa ballroom dance. Nakakamiss sina Gem, Ate Tin, Erin, James, Eos, Kuya Sani, tsaka si *Sugo*. hehehe I never really remembered his name kahit na siya yung naging unang dance partner ko. nyahaha Nakakahiya no? hehe pero alam kong he’s in fifth year na in Eng’g.
  4. Sound of Thunder- title ng hilarious horror movie na napanood namin nina Roni, Fitz, Aidz, and Polo. Hilarious kasi hindi ko talaga lubos maisip kung bakit merong nakapag-isip na gawin tong movie na to, and actually thinks it could be a blockbuster. Or naweweirdohan lang ako sa kwento. Or hndi ko talaga maintindihan yung plot. Oh well. Sana nanood na lang kami ng Luvstruck! hm.. Sige na nga, Sound of Thunder na lang. nyahaha. Question: Bakit pinangalanang "Sound of Thunder" yung movie? Wala namang bagyo, at walang thunder. Email niyo ko pag nagets niyo yung sagot, ha? margaret_bocaya@yahoo.com

Medyo marami nang nangyari… pero hndi kasya rito eh.

Life goes on

and on

and on

and on

onion.

Mystery II

August 18th, 2005 by imager
Astig talaga si JM! Naging matino ang story namin sa Eng 1. Yey! Dabest ang kwento namin!
Challenge ko lang ang nagbabasa nito kung mahahanap niya ang loophole sa story: ang loophole na nadiscover ng group namin habang nirereport na sa harap ng buong class!
Three Little Words
It was the beautiful noon of August 11, 2005 at UP Diliman. Mina was seen walking at the academic oval from her PE class. She was going to meet her bestfriend, Jake, at the steps of the main library. As she was walking, drinking the remaining contents of her C2, her cellphone beeped, indicating she has received a message. She read the message and saw that it came from Darryl, one of her friends. It read:
hi! muzta? mit nman tau 2day o! mis u na e!:) hav a rose 4u! =D
But because she was meeting with Jake, she replied this:
hi din! sori…m olredi meeting jake e.:)
There were not so many people on the library steps when Mina got there. She sat on the topmost step as she waited for Jake. Then her phone, beeped again.
jake! jake! puro naman jake e!
She smiled as she read Darryl’s reply to her message. Darryl and Jake have been rivals since kindergarden when Jake threw away Darryl’s treasured pen. Darryl became so angry with Jake afterwards because that pen was his only memory of his late mother. Since then, they have been bitter rivals, and now, they’re taking their rivalry to the extreme as they are both courting Mina.
So there was Mina, waiting for Jake. Minutes passed, but there was no sign of Jake. Two hours later, Jake was still nowhere to be seen. Tired of waiting, Mina got up and went to her college to get her things from her locker then go home.
While walking, her phone beeped again. Thinking it was Jake, she hurriedly opened it, only to find out it was from an unknown person. It read:
kung ayaw mong mphamak c jake, sundin mo lahat ng gus2 ko…
Thinking it was a joke, she ignored the message. When she reached the locker room, noone was there. She proceeded to open her locker but was surprised to find what was inside. It was an envelope covered with mud and blood stains. She opened it and read the note that was inside.
If you want to see your friend, Jake, do what I want! Or else…
Mina trembled after reading it. Who could do this to Jake? she thought. She remembered Darryl, but dismissed the thought of him doing this. Just then, her phone beeped. It was from the same stranger.
sundin mo nlang lhat ng gus2 ko kung gus2 mo pang mkita c jake!
cno k b? replied Mina. bkit mo b 2 gngawa? ano b gus2 mo?
Her phone beeped again. kc nman e…, read the text. sgutin mo na ako at
kalimutan yang c jake.
Then it struck her. Nobody else was courting her, aside from Jake, but Darryl. She remembered the incident a while ago, when she refused meeting Darryl and how he reacted. Then she looked at the note. Below was a drawing of a rose. This reminded her how Darryl was fond of roses. The more she thought about it, the more she was certain Darryl was the suspect.
Her phone beeped again. akin ka lang, mina… akin lang…
Furious, and worried about Jake, she went looking for Darryl. She found him at the A.S. parking lot, carrying a bouquet of roses. She approached and condronted him. Darryl said he does not know she was talking about. He said he was also looking for herto give her the roses. Mina, disregarding what he said, demanded that he show him where Jake was.
"If you want, you can even look at my car’s trunk!" Darryl said with full confidence.
Their fight had already created a crowd around them, and as Darryl inserted the key to his trunk, more came to find out what was going on. What they saw was something that shocked them all, even Darryl. Jake was there, wounded and covered with mud.
"I hate you…"
Those words pierced Darryl’s heart. He ran away from the crowd, shielding his
face from the dagger looks of the people around him.
That night, Mina stayed with Jake, caring for him. She stayed at his house, and, together with his mom, cared forhis wounds. Late in the night, Mina’s phone beeped again. The message was from Darryl’s mom, and what it contained stunned all of them.
mina…c darryl ng-suicide…
They hurried to Darryl’s place. When they got there, Darryl was still being brought down form the ropes he had used to kill himself. Mina burst into tears when she learned from Darryl’s mom that Darryl did this because he was so upset after she accused him of kidnapping Jake. Meanwhile, Jake had a blank _expression on his face. When he was about to be questioned about the kidnapping, he asked to be excused because of his wounds. Before he left, Mina asked if she could borrow his cellphone so she could call her mom.
Mina was trembling with guilt and fear as she reached for Jake’s phone. Because of her shaking hands, she unintentionally reached the "Sent Items" folder. What she found there took the color out of her face.
akin ka lang, mina…
akin lang…
**nahanap mo ba ang loophole? sigurado ka bang yun ang loophole? hehe**
**basta matatawa ka na lang pag nakita mo ang loophole na yun!**

Mystery

August 11th, 2005 by imager
Pinagawa kami ng short story sa english 1 using only the elements below. Mystery ang category ng story ng group namin, and this is what we came up with:
who: darryl, mina, and jake
what: cellphone, rose, and pen
when: 11 August 2005, 12:00
where: UP Campus (Diliman)
initial setting: after M’s ‘walking for fitness’ p.e. class
  1. darryl texts mina, inviting her to be in his company.
  2. mina rejects darryl’s offer because she and jake had already agreed to meet that very moment.
  3. darryl replies, complaining about how mina always prioritizes jake, her best friend.
  4. mina recalls how darryl and jake’s big fight during their childhood started: during their upis days, darryl accidentally threw jake’s heirloom (a ballpen from his mother) at the lagoon.
  5. jake texts mina, asking her where they should meet.
  6. mina texts jake to meet her in the main lib. jake ok’s.
  7. mina waits at main lib (steps?) jake does not appear.
  8. instead, mina receives threatening text messages from an unknown sender.(’akin ka!’, ‘gawin mo homework ko!’ … something like that)
  9. mina leaves the main lib and goes to [AS? dun lang ang alam kong may lockers eh] and sees a note and a rose stuck in her locker.
  10. strangely, as mina sees the note and the rose in her locker, darryl arrives to greet mina.
  11. darryl asks mina why she’s not with jake. mina is clueless.
  12. darryl gives mina a rose. [mina gets confused]
  13. darryl brings out his phone just before he leaves and mina gets to see it.
  14. mina is left alone and starts getting the threatening messages again (akin ka lang!… kasi sagutin mo na ako!).
  15. mina gets suspicious. she catches up with darryl and demands to see jake. <she suspects that darryl did something bad to jake>. chaos erupts, and a crowd starts surrounding the hysterical mina and the now tense darryl.
  16. darryl argues with mina: where could he possibly hide the guy?! getting desperate, he says: why don’t you check my locker?!
  17. naive mina then opens darryl’s locker. OMG! jake’s there! dirty, rugged, and obviously cramped inside darryl’s locker, jake is miraculously alive.
  18. mina gets jake out of the locker, becomes furious and demands darryl to never see him again. darryl is still clueless.
  19. later that day, mina gets a text message saying that darryl has just committed suicide somewhere at the campus [nakabitin sa isang acacia tree sa ibabaw ng kalsada! hehe].
  20. mina and jake go to where darryl committed suicide and feels guilty about what happened.
  21. jake leaves mina for a while. mina gets jake’s cellphone to play games and instinctively checks out the inbox and the outbox.
  22. mina gets mortified.
  23. the first message on the outbox (most probably the most recent message sent by jake) says "akin ka lang…"

Siyempre magmamadali akong gumawa ng blog kung kelan matatapos ang isang oras dito sa internet cafe! Kelangan ko pang kumuha ng readings sa third world at tatakbuhin ko pa ata ang buong ka-uphan para lang makapunta ng as (nasa sc ako ngaun).

Well… para iupdate ang buong mundo sa mga pangyayari sa aking buhay:

  1. Yey! Kahit na hindi na ako consistent, I still managed to get 1.25 sa pinakarecent naming practical sa pe 2 social dance. O diba? Kahit na namentalblock kami ng dance partner ko sa steps sa harap ni ma’am, nakakuha pa ‘ko ng next to highest. *yey* bihira lang sa akin ang makakuha ng mataas na pe grade nung high school, so there.
  2. Sana nakapanood ako ng Live Aids sa MassCom… Sayang yung opportunity! Free for freshies yung unang playdate, di pa ako pumunta. Kung pupunta pa ako next year, I would have to pay 200 bucks na. hai… St. Louis loves dem Filipinos… the musical na lang ang papanoorin ko. Nakakaiyak daw, sabi ng mga pipol na required na manood ng play na yun.
  3. Second long exam na sa math17 sa monday, followed by the midterms on wednesday. Sa Tuesday naman ata yung first exam sa Logic, pero feeling ko idedelay pa ni soberano yun. Pano kaya kung umabsent si sta. ana? nyahaha

Gotta go na. (haha, may pagkaconotic ata yun ah)

Off to da Third World!

Bawal magkasakit.

Huwag kaliligtaang uminom ng Bioflu.

Recent Grafitti seen on my chair, AS 420:

PANGKULAY SA BUHOK JOY KALAMANSI KAYA GREEN

Come to think about it, greenish nga ang kulay ng buhok niya kapag nakatapat sa nakakabulag na fluorescent lights ng AS 420. Pero parang imposible namang dishwashing liquid ang ginagamit na pang shine ng kanyang silvery hair. Hindi masasabing attractive ang kanyang itsura, mainly because matanda na siya’t laging pinagpapawisan pagdating sa classroom. Siguro nagaaerobics. haha

PANGHUGAS SA PLATONG MASEBO

Kawawa ka sa klase niya kapag lalaki ka. Sa mahigit kumulang apat na buwan na pagdidiscuss ng symbolic logic sa inyong classroom, never ka niyang tatawagin for recitation (kung lalaki ka). At hindi ibig sabihing masaya ang buhay mo kapag babae ka sa klase niya. Siguradong every lesson may recitation point ka, sa ayaw mo’t sa gusto. Kung magandang babae ka, mas malas ka. Wala kang magagawa kundi sagutin ang bawat tanong na ibabato sa iyo every 10 minutes.

KAMUKHA NI MICHAEL V (GURANG NGA LANG)

Masaya talaga ang assistant prof na ito. Ang unang-unang joke niya sa klase, hindi halatang joke. Walang natawa dahil walang naka-get. haha That must have been embarassing. Wala nga palang tatalo sa kanya sa pamimilosopo. Kapag di namin malaman ang sagot sa tanong niya, mamimilosopo siya.

Hindi na rin ako magtataka kung bakit notorious ang pangalan niya sa cssp.
