I have moved. Ages ago actually. The blog you see now is only a ghost of its former glory. Because I reset the template, you can't view the comments anymore. Anyway, to give you an idea of what this used to look like, it had a black and white picture of me holding a red umbrella, and pink navigational buttons.
Basta. I've moved.
Here's the link: HERE!

Just a thought
I don't want next week to come. I don't want to leave the dorm. I don't want to stop being a freshman. I especially don't want to grow apart from my friends.
This sucks. In less than a week, I'll be leaving G-123 for greener [hehe greener walls from the molds, probably] pastures. I've been recommended for Molave (upperclass dorm to those of you who aren't familiar with the campus), but - alas - my slot has been stolen from me, and thus, I will have to fight tooth and nail to get a decent dorm. My eyes are on Ilang-ilang. I don't care if it's an all-girls dorm and that it's so strict it's almost "up there" with convents and Tibet. I want structure. I want things to make sense again. Plus, if I was Catholic, I would have loved to be a nun.

Baguio
I've just *finished* (meaning it's almost finished but not quite there yet) working on my new blog. Yes, I will be moving out of this place soon. It just won't make sense to write in tikim-ng-kalayaan when I won't be living there...soon. Man, what a depressing thought. But alas, I can do nothing about it.
I've finished all my exams (hurrah for that)... My standing in NatSci is passing, in CW10 - not as good as I needed, Socio10 - estimated 1.something, MuL9 - have no idea, Math100 - ditto with MuL9. I have a paper due on April 3 and I have a violin lesson on Thursday.
Oh, by the way, I am in Baguio, in the comfort of our living room, wearing a turtleneck. I never got to appreciate turtlenecks like this until I had to give them up (try wearing a turtleneck in Manila and let's see how long you'll last).
My mom turned forty-[tooooooot!] today. We brought her breakfast in bed (family tradition). Halfway through her BLT sandwich (that's the best our culinary skills had to offer), she demands for a song, because the traditional birthday breakfast in bed is supposed to be accompanied with a serenade. We didn't prepare anything, and told her that we didn't know any songs. Nope, she still wanted to be serenaded. So, my brother gets this really thick RnB/Pop song hits, and we started wailing. Halfway through REM's Imitation of Life, my mom was like, "Kain na muna kayo." Yeowch. Hehehe.
It's so nice to be back in Baguio. I admit that I feel a little detached from it now, like I'm looking at it from a distance. Not surprising, considering that I haven't gone home since the Christmas holidays. Awhile ago we ate at Bruno's place... then walked around... got myself new earrings... and some clothes for Davao (leaving for Davao on April 5)... which was nice. Just like it was before UP... except since Pito was here, the guys were driving me crazy. Gaaaaah.
Okay, I can't think straight enough to make a decent post, so I apologize for the lack of structure. Anyway that's all I want to say. Gonna work on blog number three again.

Ditchee rant
Just came from the service at Victory.
I was passing by the cafe, on my way to the Coop to buy Pancit Canton, and I swear the cafe was calling me to come and blog. Evil, evil internet cafe.
I have an exam tomorrow. Not just any exam. MATH. Wonderful.
And here I am, blogging.
Oh, well, that's life.
Okay, I am going to rant now.
There are so many things I am annoyed at, but I am going to talk about one thing in particular now: being ditched by a friend for a guy. Yep. It's happened to all of us girls, I'm sure. Guys have probably had their share of ditching. Whether it bothers you guys or not, I don't know, but it bothers me. See, I have always fancied myself an important person, and I do not relish in the idea of being second to anything. And to be ditched for a... a... boy (gasp) is just downright WRONG!
I mean, whatever happened to girl power and all that crud? Why do some girls let their worlds revolve around this one person, or around guys in general? Bakit ganun? Whatever happened to feminism and our ability to cope without men? I mean, heck, we're young! Our biological clock has many more ticks left to tock, so why rush?
WHY?!
WHY?!
WHY?!
WHY?!
WHY?!
WHY?!
A note to all women everywhere:
Be loyal to your girl friends. Ditching them for someone who will leave you in a few months is STUPID, because girl friends are who you're going to run to after it's all over (and yes, it probably won't last forever, no matter what he says... sorry girls, that's life). And if you've been neglecting them for those couple of months, you're going to run to someone who might not be all too willing to let you blow your nose on their shoulder, thank you very much.
And to the innocent passersby:
Pardon me for sounding so bitter.

The End
I just came back from my last ever class this sem.
I can't believe it's almost over. (Only) one more exam and two papers to go. And then...?
I'm leaving for Baguio after my Math exam on the 27th. Hopefully, I'll be able to come back to Kalai on the 1st of April, just because.
I'll be living in Molave next sem. I hope I won't regret doing so. The facilities at Molave leave much to be desired, but because my friends want me in Molave, and that's where I got recommended, I guess there's not much I can do.
And since I'm moving away from Kalai, I guess I'm going to move blogs. I'm currently working on my new concept (instead of studying for my Math finals or finishing my final travel essay revision).
My sister's graduating today. Which is really weird. It was weird enough celebrating her 21st birthday, plus my 18th birthday (which I still haven't gotten over, because I swear that I'm still 12!), and now she's graduating and getting a job and being a responsible citizen... It's just so bizarre.
Speaking of the bizarre, I ran into Behn Cervantes (my Theatre prof from last sem) in the College of Music yesterday. It went a little like this:
Just an omelette

He smiles at me, waves, then leaves. I am dazed, unable to comprehend how something like that had just happened.Behn Cervantes walks past me once, then walks backwards, looks at me (I note that he has a new hairstyle, gayer than ever), and says:BC: (in his I-own-the-world-and-you-have-no-business-breathing-my-air voice) What are you doing here?
Me: (trembling) Sir... I study the violin.
BC: (scary) Ha?!
Me: (trying to be strong) I study the violin, sir.
BC: Are you any good?
Me: I'm okay. (suddenly remembering that Behn hates it when people say that they're "okay") So-so.

Death by Calculus
Tell me, how do you integrate this?
(2x2[as in squared, don't know how to superscript text]+x-4)/(x+2) dx
I don't think I'll be able to sleep because of Math100. I swear, Math is not good for you. Especially if you have a prof like my wonderful wonderful Gabby.
Urgh.
Anyway... that's all I'm gonna post now. Can't think of anything except that freaking problem. (If you do get to solve it, please email me. I need to get over it quick.)

Betrayal
I feel like crying.
Because I feel like it's true.
I've been kidding myself for so long. It can't be true. Because he's not like that.
But so many people have been telling me the same thing.
Oh gosh, I never want to watch Brokeback Mountain. EVER.

Back at long last
Wow I haven't blogged in ages. I have perfectly relevant excuses, believe me.
I look weird here, but anyway...
L-R (top): Mayang, Ann, Dy, Eden, Abby, ??????
(bottom): Itchan, Joan, Jen, Karen
This is me, after finding out that I can only have two spoonfuls of the
edible food from Gloria's (man, what an oxymoron),
because my gown was
way
too
tight.
I just had to put Rinno's photo here, cause he just looks so freaking scary. ;p
WHAT I HAVEN'T BEEN DOING
aka
The List of the Greatest Procrastinator that Ever Lived
- I didn't have the time. (Yah-huh you read that right, I am in fact still a student, and as a responsible "iskolar ng bayan", I have to study and finish my requirements.)
- I didn't have the money. (Okay, so this is the real reason why I haven't blogged. I've been broke. Yes, I have two exams coming up. Yes, I've studied. A little. But no, I haven't studied enough. Aww, give me a break, I needed to blog or I would have exploded!
WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING (in no particular order):
- March 17 : Final Interview at EcoSoc. There are moments when you that strange feeling of overwhelming accomplishment and superiority to the whole world, that feeling of invincibility. Moments when you actually believe that you are unstoppable, the belief so intense that the idea of flying doesn't seem so absurd after all. The interview was not one of these moments. I felt this small. End of story.
- March 20 (today!) : I bit a complete stranger. Bwahahahhaaha! Don't get freaked out, it was just the finals for my PE class (Self-Defense). I LOVE kicking butt. I missed it. My brother and I don't fight much anymore... haaaay, those were the days.
- Formal dinner! Here are some pictures! (Weeeee!)

WHAT I HAVEN'T BEEN DOING

- I should start writing my requirements for CW10.
- I should be studying for my NatSci exam. Which is... tomorrow? (Bravo! Bravo!)
- I should be studying for my Math100 exam. Which is... two days from now? (Idol! Idol!)
- I should return the copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's I have lying around my room. Which I should have done... a month ago? (I wonder how much I have to pay for the overdue fee?)
- OH MY GOSH. I have just remembered that my mom's birthday is coming up, or even worse, it's come and gone and I didn't remember. OH MY GOSH. I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE DATE OF MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY. WHAT A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DAUGHTER I AM. OOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYYY GULAY. (It's either March 18 or 22. Sana 22. Pleeeease let it be 22!!!)
