Taking a Break

Due to the sporadic updates and the blogger's very own laziness,

this blog will go on HIATUS for an indefinite period of time.


 

To contact me, just send me a message through the Tagboard. I would still be dropping by every once in awhile. :)

Ramblings

Wow, it has been a really long time since I last updated. Sorry, blog.

Weird week... I don't really know why, it just feels strange. There's work to do but at least not as bad as last week's load. Thank God.

Spent the morning finishing the original Gene Wilder Willywonka and the Chocolate Factory movie (which Jid and I started watching yesterday.) It was actually pretty good - though Gene Wilder was a bit scary-looking. Haha, well, that's what I think. The movie was sad... with the awww-ish moments all over the place. I can't wait to watch the Johnny Depp version, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Then we headed off to Arki Building 1 for the tambayan set-up and clean-up. I can't really bear how absolutely disappointing and useless most of my org members are. Most of them couldn't even be bothered to spend a few hours to help out. What's the use of having a so-called org when you can't even sacrifice anything for it? Nakakaasar lang talaga. I know acads come first, but hello? Kaunting tulong naman, kaunting resposibilidad. Paminsan-misan lang naman eh. I'm sorry but most of them are really self-centered in times like these. Haaay, kaya walang sumasali eh.

Anyway, there. Tired as hell from training, but still I'm enjoying myself. It's tiring but also a good stress-release. :)

I love my little Jiddu.

Passing By

It’s sad that I’ve been too busy to update my blog recently. And yet, I find time to update my LJ. I’m sorry, blog… More people that I know read it.

 

My birthday and the balloons have come and gone. Things with Jiddu are absolutely wonderful. School’s okay, but the design class is really a lot of WORK. And yeah, I’ve found a new love – sports climbing. Things are actually pretty okay and happy these past few days.

 

So, for the record, I love my life. :)

It seems like I haven't been updating my blog for the longest time. I've been finding it easier to post in my LJ kasi eh. So many things happened ever since my last post. Like the craziest and almost violent fight with Jid. I won't into details, but be assured that nobody hurt anybody, just that there was a lot banging, slamming and throwing all sorts of things. It was really ugly but I'm glad we got past it.

Then there was also the trip to Power-Up in Tandang Sora Ave. with my design class. It was sooo much fun to wall-climb! It was my first time then and I am so looking forward to doing it again! Is there a UP org for wall-climbing? I think I wanna join if there is... Anybody knows? If only Power-Up isn't so far, I'd go there everyday! Haha, na-addict! But really... sobrang natuwa ako! Everyone, let's go climbing!

Anyway, my birthday will be in two days... June 27th. I don't wanna get any older! 20 sounds so old! Haha. But I'd still appreciate gifts, just in case. *wink*


(Belated) Happy birthday, Jassie! ;p

It’s like having this incurable and fatal disease – and this time, waiting to die or for a miracle to continue on living. I cannot help but fidget with uneasiness and be scared of the unknown. There’s the desire to continue on hoping and believing but there’s also that fear that hoping and believing might break me even more.

 

Yes, it’s a measly grade and yet it’s my life right now. It’s the grade that could make or break my college plans. I would have known the outcome if I tried a little bit more, pushed a little bit further. There are so many reasons. One is living so damn far away. Another is being so dependent on other people for transportation (when I already have my driver’s license). Another, was believing that there was nothing more that I could have done – when I knew I still had the chance to beg a little and try to talk to the Prof a bit (for I’ve done that a couple of times before.)

 

But right now, there really is nothing I could no anymore. The classcard is somewhere there in the Math building, graded and signed, just waiting for me to come and get it. :(

 

If only I could just sleep and sleep till Wednesday.

 

So… here’s to hoping for a miracle.

Batangas! (long entry ahead)

Totally off-topic and quite late but… woo-hoo! Sergio Mora won! I knew he would! Haha, I love Sergio! It was actually a rather bland match and Peter was very disappointing, but hey, I don’t care… Sergio won! ;p

Anyway…

Just got back from Lozzie’s tita’s beach place in Batangas. Hella tired, but fine. I actually tanned a bit! Haha! I had a great time even though there were only few of us and it was all couples. The place was wonderful, in such a way that it felt secluded and yet felt so vast at the same time. Oh, and not to mention all the food! (Thanks so much, Loz!)

Here are our adventures and misadventures:

Day One (Tuesday, May 24)

We were supposed to meet up 4AM at McDonalds Katipunan so I woke up really early, around 3AM to take a bath and make sure I have all the stuff I needed. (I stayed in the condo, right after my Math 54 exam.) Then Lozzie arrived at my place with the food and told everyone to just head there. Pat came, then Ria and Jerry with the van. We left Katipunan just before 5AM.

Ria’s driver drove sooo damn fast. As in super fast! He overtook every vehicle he could and used the shoulder for the most time in SLEX. He was so fast that we got to Tagaytay in an hour and that with just one blink from Loz we missed the spot where we were supposed to turn and went all the way to Calatagan. If it weren’t for this dead-end Loz wouldn’t have realized that we were lost. We went all the way far back to Lian and finally got to the resort.

As soon as we unloaded, we realized that one cooler was missing and we then believed that it must’ve been left in front of my place! Haha! The cooler which contained our lunch for that day. After much panic, worry and deliberation (because no contact numbers were available and such), Lozzie’s mom finally went to the condo and retrieved the cooler.

The place was very homey – and the people there were very nice and warm too. Some of the plants were very creepy, ugly and yucky, though. Really. I’ll post some pics as soon as I get to upload them.

Anyway, the day was in fact very quiet and peaceful – almost bordering on boredom because there were only five of us and none of us were really that loud. The only major event of the day was Pat getting really bad rashes all over his body due to some allergic reaction with Ria’s sublock. It was really horrible. For the rest of the day, we kayaked, swam in the pool, ate lunch, walked around and watched a DVD. We actually slept a bit early that night.

Day Two (Wednesday, May 25)

Again, we kayaked, swam in the pool and sunbathed. Loz and I actually tried to get some color. Haha. Her relatives came around lunchtime so it finally got a bit noisy in the house. The kids were actually very cute and her Tito and Tita were very warm and friendly.

After a late but very yummy lunch, we went off to the Lian town proper to pick up Jid, Maicah and her boyfriend. It was so great to finally get to see my Jid. Hehe. After a few errands we got back late in the afternoon. We took a dip in the pool and basically just hung out.

Pat was once again a victim of his own skin – he had really bad and painful sunburns from our noontime kayaking.

Then that night, we watched The Contender finale (woo-hoo Sergio!) and this amusing but rather boring Korean film, My Little Bride then slept around 2 in the morning.

Day Three (Thursday, May 26)

I actually woke up a bit early and ended up going to the boathouse where the boys slept to “surprise” Jid, the sleepyhead. After breakfast, we went off to kayak on our own – and well, me being a sissy, didn’t wanna go so far to the deep part.

Come to think of it, the day brought out a lot of my issues about my fears and being put into awkward situations. I’m not a good swimmer – having only learned the basics in high school – that’s why I get paranoid when I get to the deep parts of the water. That’s why I forfeited my chance of snorkeling (even with a life vest on.) I just really am scared of so many things and I’m just not brave enough to test myself, especially if it’s a life and death situation. Oh well… I’m such a loser, most of the time.

There were bits of drama almost all-through-out the day with Jid but we ended up okay. We ended up watching The Little Black Book in the afternoon (because the Alfie DVD failed) which was surprisingly good. It was amusing and engaging – also, I could very much relate to it. Haha! Omission is betrayal! ;p

In the afternoon, we tried the Skimboard (which we both failed to really learn – unlike the Amazing Pep Squad Couple! Bleh.) and disrupted the sea creatures during the lowtide. Hehe.

Pat was once again unlucky, as he twisted(?) or sprained(?) his foot while trying to Skimboard. ("Mamatay na kung mamatay!" *kablag!*)

Then we stayed in the pool till dinnertime, watched Lost (this show really creeps me out!) and stayed by the bonfire, made s’mores and talked and talked and talked under the night sky. That was actually my favorite moment of the entire trip.

We ended up getting locked out of the beachhouse and asked for Ria’s help so we could get in to watch the replay of the American Idol finale – of which, I fell asleep midway. Haha.

Day Four (May 27, Friday)

Woke up to find Jiddu beside me. We hung out a bit and ate breakfast. Watched dance contests on ESPN with Pat, Loz, Ria and Jerry. Then we went on to watch Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle (where I sorta got sleepy near the end). I didn’t like that movie much. It was funny on some parts but just really stupid on most.

We took a last dip on the pool, had a late lunch – which I got worried about coz I had wanted to leave early coz my dad would be waiting to pick me up in Katipunan. But we ended up leaving the resort 3PM and leaving by bus 4PM. It really sucked.

Then I thought we would follow the same route going to Batangas (via SLEX and Tagaytay) but we went through Tagaytay, Cavite then Coastal, instead. After feeling so paranoid, panicky and low (not to mention the strong desire to pee!)… and after all the traffic, the lies and the tantrum… and after one bus, the MRT and a cab, I finally got back to the condo – to my worrying and weary dad.

Yep, I’m finally home, at last. :)


If I pass Math 54, then it would be a really good summer for me. But that’s still something to worry about. :(

Chances

I started writing this yet another typical narrative and diary-type entry about how good the week has been and how Jid and I are back together… but I decided to write about some things I’ve realized the past weeks.

 

It all seems like a blur now – last week’s events, but I’ve learned a lot from it. First of all, I learned how to do things on my own. I’m not so proud to admit that I’ve somehow became boyfriend-dependent for most things. But daring myself to do and to try things alone and for myself last week finally gave me reassurance, encouragement and even the drive to set out and explore – even by myself.

 

I learned how truly wonderful my friends are. I truly don’t know how I would’ve done without them. Especially Niner, Kate and Kev. I don’t know how to explain but they make me feel like I can do anything and I can fix anything. Their belief in me gives me enough strength to finally believe in myself. Not to mention how they could easily make me laugh or see the brighter side of things. I love them for who they are diversity and I love how even after a long time of not seeing each other, it’s like we’ve been together forever.

 

And most of all, I realized that I should never give up on something that I hold dear, on something so important. I learned how to let go of my pride – one of the hardest things to do.

 

It’s a new beginning. Sure, there are some changes, some uncertainties. But we’re giving it our utmost best. I’m giving it my best. What we had and what we have deserves another chance.

It hurts.

Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room inside for me

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good

Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
(Take That - Back for Good)


I still think about you,
I still dream about you,
I still want you and need you by my side,
I’m still mad about you,
All I ever wanted was you,
Your still the one, your still the one.
(Brian McKnight - Still)

I must forgive you
And you must forgive me too
It's the only thing that's left that we haven't try to do
One thing I'm sure will work
That we haven't tried before
Let's not bring the past back anymore (Ray Parker - The Past)


I'm at loss for words. Let the chessiest and saddest songs speak for me. I've put myself through this... I'll somehow find my way to fix it.

I'm so sick of Math 54

- Who needs all those hyperbolic functions and all sorts of integration techniques anyway?! Makakain ko ba yan pag gutom ako? Pag memorized ko na ba yan yayaman ako? (Haha, ang baboy! But really... I don't see the point of mastering sine functions, anti-derivation and such...)

- How come people who weren't so attractive in high school are all so damn hot and pretty now? Ba't nila ko iniwan? (Haha, been browsing through my friendster lang.)

- Will my parents let me go off to Batangas? Geez, I'm almost 20!

- It seems so weird and so grown-up having people my age or my friends getting jobs, doing internships or doing OJTs. It makes me feel so out of place... or like I'm getting left behind. I don't really know what the future will hold for me through my course or if I know enough to act like a grown-up already. Do you guys feel like you're grown-ups already? Coz I sure don't.

- She's taking summer classes at Math! Math 11. She's a flunker like me. Oh no, we have something in common! (I'm mean, I know.)

Just some random thoughts before I head back to memorizing all those formulae. Bleh. I hope I pass. ;)
