i am here...again

2007-06-10T07:06:00.000-07:00

So yeah, I am here again. I guess I won't be moving to LJ after all. I've been a blogger-user for less than two years and this is the first time I've been gone for so long. Let's just say I was on a hiatus a.k.a. "I am too lazy to think and type some nonsense things on my blog" stage.

The two months I've been away has been the most dramatic stage of my life. Let's just say everything I need to write is safely hidden in my multiply blog. And (I hope this time it's for real) I'm over that phase. I am now just too excited to enter a new phase. The "hopefully this is my last year in college" phase.

Nah, I won't bore you out with my thesis plans. I guess I'd be writing about that in the next few months. Anyway, what have I been busying myself with this summer?

OJT. Yup. I was in the work force for five weeks. And it has got me thinking--I am not excited to join that force soon. No siree. Not for me. Maybe not now. But it is in the plan. In my not so near future plan. But the realizations? A person can be overworked and be underpaid at the same time. I know it's a cliche already but now, I have understood the concept really well. You study for four or so years, spend a whole lot of money, exert a bunch of effort, everything for a job that would pay you something that would be less than your student's allowance. That's how small the pay is when you're an average employee in an architectural firm.

I know what you're thinking. I am so materialistic. Maybe I am. But that's not the only thing that I don't like. The schedule. In college, you get to have days off. When your teacher's out, you don't go to school. But when you're working, fine, you have your weekends. But other than that, nada. Zilch. You'd always be praying for a non-working holiday. Or company outings.

You might think I had a really bad time in my OJT. Not really. Actually, I am missing going to Makati now that I am enjoying my last two days of summer. I miss the smell of kure colors up my nose everytime I need to rush on coloring presentation drawings, the sound of Xerox machines and printers especially when it's rush hour, the excitement of people while they're waiting for the lunch, merienda and uwian time. It is a great routine actually.

Let's just say I've got a lazy ass and I hate monotony. Which is why I don't think working is for me.

Anyway, I also got to vote for the first time for the national elections. Some slots have not been filled yet but out of the 10 senators I've voted for, 8 were able to make it to the top 10. And yes, I only filled up 10 slots. I am not one to vote for somebody just for the sake of filling up my ballot.

The HongKong trip that was planned out late last March did not push through. That could have been my first time to go out of the country. But we weren't able to go. All because NSO cannot find my birth certificate. Anyway, I got it now so I can apply for a passport already. Plus, I was able to learn how to swim! That's good news for a person who doesn't know how to swim let alone float in the water. People have not been noticing it but I got darker. Try swimming for four times (thanks to the Ortigas condo!) at this time of the year and you will get what I mean.

This is getting too much longer for an "I'm back" post. So this is it for now.

;)

Congrats!:)

2007-04-04T03:55:00.000-07:00

I have been telling people that the reason I am not updating this blog is because I'm planning to
shift to LJ. Anyway, before I do so, let me say this to a very beloved orgmate:

CONGRATULATIONS ATTY. Ashrafia Aymee Alonto Biruar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alhamdulillah, a new lawyer in our org! :) Hoping for a very great future ahead of you. You truly deserve this.

19th!:)

2007-03-03T23:20:00.000-08:00

Dami kong ka-birthday! Andyan si Charisse na schoolmate ko sa SFACS nung high school. Tapos si Rommel na MSA orgmate, tapos si Cla na kada ni Cathe, tapos si Walter na dating classmate nila Cathe, Dennen, Nica at Lique.

Paggising ko nang alas-kwatro ng umaga, andami na kagad nagbabatian. Pero yung pinaka unexpected siguro na birthday greeting eh yung galing kay Ray Kristofer:

Ray: (after ng pagkahaba-habang RTR kasama ng 7 or so STAND UP ASC candidates) Kaya po, wag nating kalilimutan sa March 2 ang meeting de avance sa Arki Atrium at pati na rin ang birthday ni Talia.

Edi syempre, namula daw ako sabi ni Lique. Di kasi talaga expected. Ang tindi nung shifting from a political speech to a personal greeting. To think, di ko ka-close yung mga tao. So halos lahat tuloy sa college, kahit di ko kakilala, binabati ako. Matindi yung mga kandidato na mang-joke time. "Uy, Talia, naalala ko yung birthday mo ha. Iboto mo ko!" Galing humirit! :)

Touched din ako sa KAISA people. Daming bumati! Pati unexpected people, nagte-text. Kahit in the middle of the night pa! Walang pinipiling oras.

Yung blockmates ko, saprays kung saprays! Imagine-in mo, binigyan na ko ng veil, binigyan pa ko ng barbie doll. Kamukha ko daw. Sexy nga lang. Matching yung veil namin nung doll. At tulad ko, may earrings din s'ya at ID lace na malandi! Meron pang napakalaking cartolina na may greetings. Gulat ako, pati si Ma'am G, may greeting.

Nung pauwi na ko, yung tipong nasa sakayan na ko papuntang Megamall kung san ko imi-meet sila Mama, tumawag si Inay. Isama ko daw si Nica. Ayun, bumalik pa kong Arki. Kumain kami sa Kamayan with sisterettes tapos nagwindow-shopping at nag-overnight na ng tuluyan si Nica sa bahay.

The next day, March 3, tinapos namin ni Nica yung base ng mowdel. That night, punta kaming wedding ni Kuya Jun Jun. Another gulat factor na naman kasi andun yung mga dating MSAers. Ang kilala ko lang dun, sila Rommel (oo, si ka-birthday na Rommel), Micks, Aldean, Aiben tsaka Khalid.

Actually, second wedding na nila yun. Yung babae kasi, Malaysian kaya yung unang wedding nila, doon naganap. Yung dito, small gathering na lang. Tipong relatives only plus some orgmates and brods ni Kuya Junjun.

Yung isang nanghaharana sa Kamayan nung birthday ko, andun din sa wedding ni Kuya Junjun. Sila yung kakanta. Chances!

Yung Malaysian guests nga (mga 40 plus sila), naka matching get up pa. Kumusta naman yung kaming magkakapatid, kung ano na lang yung makitang damit, yun na yung sinuot. Wala tuloy kaming motiff.

May mga stalker din palang Malaysian. Hello? Kala nila di namin nahuhuli yung kunyari nagte-text lang, namimiktyur na pala. Style ko kaya yun. Kaya tuwing feeling ko, nakaharap na sakin yung mga cellphone nila, tumatalikod ako (feelingera si Talia!)

Some fichurs:

Bago umalis ng bahay

an update 20 days too late...

2007-02-24T15:30:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted anything in this blog for a long time now. Of course, I can say I'm busy but my schedule's not been hectic for a week now. I am so not busy that I was able to (these are so night in any order. I'll just put whatever comes to mind first):

Go to the UP fair during the second (tuesday) and the fifth day (friday). People have been saying those are the greatest nights. Talk about being lucky;) Friday night was spent asking for a backstage pass from Kuya Chino and Kuya Eric since their frat sponsored the event. Our request wasn't granted. But anyway, when Kuya Chino's band performed, people were screaming , "Ang gwapo ng drummer!". Kami naman ni Dennen, "Classmate namin yan!"

Tuesday night with Kim, Nica and Dennen

Join the Heritage Park, American Cemetery, Market!Market! (layo ah!) field trip.

Classmates at McDo Market!Market! (pumunta pang Market!Market!, dun at dun din pala kami kakain)
At the American Cemetery

Finish a reaaaaaalllllllly large plate along with a reaaaalllllly large model.
Have an overnight (which by the way is not a slumber party but a cramming period for the reaaaaaaaallllllllly large plate and model I was talking about)
Lose 5 pounds because of sleepless nights.
Gain 3 pounds after sleeping again.
Listen to F4 music and comparing F4 memorabilia with my plate groupmates during the supposedly overnight-dedicated-to-doing-our-plate.
Fall in love to Giniling Festival's performance during the fair (talk about organizing my thoughts! This is so not in order, I'm telling you again)
Read a 120-page book in one night for the Related Literature part of our research paper.
Join Uji's Family Day and actually winning 3rd place in the bowling for adults division(who say's I play no sport?)

with Kuya and Uji with other special persons in the background

And yeah, as always, when something pops into mind again, I'd be editing this post to add one.

P.S. Kiram, one of the senatoriables, lives in our neighborhood. As in, we-share-the-same-fence kind of neighbors. Funny how I used to be so apolitical thinking I don't have to vote. Well, my registration permit tries to say otherwise :)

I am very sick and tired of all of this

2007-02-04T03:53:00.000-08:00

Literally.

Kagabi, feeling ko nilalagnat na ko. Pero since alam ko namang sobrang effective sa akin yung Biogesic, uminom ako before matulog. Plus Neozep na rin. Ayaw na ayaw ko kasing nagkakasipon.

Bawal magkasakit! Madami pang kailangang gawin. May plate pang dapat tapusin. May model pang dapat gawin. At syempre, may org activity pang kailangang puntahan.

Kaya kaninang umaga, kahit sobrang sakit na ng ulo ko, gumising ako ng alas-sais ng umaga tapos, kasama ng ate at kuya ko, nagpunta kaming Quiapo para sa Golden Mosque Clean Up Drive! :)

Oo, tino-torture ko ang sarili ko. Dahil ngayon, di lang ulo ko ang masakit. Pati kaliwang braso ko. Pero it was a fun, fun, FUN activity. Sa mga blockmates ko, alam n'yo na kung ano yung bonus at reward sa pagpunta ko. Let the pictures do the talking :)

Oh yes, ganyan kaganda ang mosque sa Quiapo.

And so, nakisingit kami sa gimik ng Young Moro Professionals...

kahit konti lang kami sa MSA na nakarating, we had lots of fun!

At natuwa rin kami dahil kasama namin ang Fire Brigade sa ka-ek-ekan na to.

Pati nga si Kuya, naki-join na rin sa fun.

Oh yes, we even had time to fool around...

And have our picture taken with the UP Manila-Association of Muslim Students

Plus the whole group.

So yeah, we left with very big smile in our faces :)

Sana maulit pa! Wag lang yung masakit ang katawan-ko-kaya-kailangan-ko-ng-Salonpas-ngayon part.

I hate the weather!!!

2007-02-03T03:43:00.000-08:00

Cramming to the highest level na naman ako! But what am I doing here typing an entry for this blog? Wala lang. I just need a time off. Kailangan ko munang kalimutan ang plate. Plus, I read a rihihihihihily (a la Dr. Cox of Scrubs) long entry about our high school life from a former classmate. Oh yes, we were that notorious. Inggit tuloy ako. Buti pa si Doy, he's got all the time in the world to make that long entry. Siguro, pag nakahanap ako ng oras, I'll be posting one for my classmates also. Pero, what am I going to write about? Madalas nga pala akong wala sa happyhaps (a la Dr. Turk of Scrubs -why do I keep on quoting Scrubs people?, oh well, doing a plate means DVD marathon) nung high school. I was the major KJ of the batch. With matching the-only-one-who-wasn't-able-to-join-the-field-trip drama nung 3rd year. Sige, I'll do the best na lang ngayon to write some memories (bulleted ones of course for a busy person):

Ang pagsira ng mga kaklase kong lalake ng pinto nung 3rd year at ang muntik na nilang pagka-kick out dahil sa tripping na ito. They ended up fixing the door pero syempre, nagsulat muna kami sa loob ng pintuan (sa loob ng plywood) bago pinako ang pinto sa pintuan. Time capsule kunyari.
I, the person who graduated as Best in Values Education, told Marvie, a classmate, to just put the wrapper of her cupcake in one of the books when she asked me where she should throw it. I ended up getting caught by the librarian but I graduated without a single record in my card. Haha...talk about image.
I cried in front of the school director with matching arguing with him because one teacher kept on insisting that my batchmates were the ones who locked the door during flag ceremony, delaying the start of first period class of first years.
I played Donya Victorina (if I remember it right) during third year high school as one requirement for Noli Me Tangere class.
We dressed up uniquely during field demonstrations. 2nd year, we wore glittery pants:silver for girls, gold for boys. 3rd year-we were Africans so black face and body paints messed the CR. 4th year-we were vegetable mascots. I belonged to the tomato group with matching red, round blush-on on our cheeks.
We had a video presentation and for the first time in my high school life, I went home at 9pm for a week. That was the latest I've ever been out with my classmates.

Dahil ako ay isang chicken, yan lang ang kaya kong isulat. Pag may naisip ako ulit, ie-edit ko to :)

Dagdag lang--stupid, stupid, stupid! Bakit ko nakalimutan yung nangyari kay Terence nung third year? Nagpa-practice kami for the field demonstration nang makita naming tumatalon si Ma'am Condez. Kala namin, joke lang. Yun pala, yung van ng School Director na nasa harap n'ya, nagba-backing nang walang tao sa harap. Di naman alam kung pano nangyari yun. So tumakbo kami sa Registrar's Office para di kami mabangga. Kala namin, everyone's safe na. Maya-maya, may narinig kaming sumigaw. Si Terence, ayun, nasagasaan. Nasa ilalim s'ya ng van at kinaladkad s'ya sa kanal. Later that day, dumating ang nanay n'ya. He suffered 2nd degree burns. The next day, walang pumasok sa class namin as a form of protest. It could have been anyone of us. After three months, okay na ulit si Terence. Okay na sana. Kaso, si Ma'am Condez, preggy that time. Rumors are nakunan s'ya dahil sa sobrang pagpa-panic.

Benta to!:D

Yeah, yeah, lagi kong sinasabing we have no Christmas pero since it's one of those non-working holidays, sinasamantala ng Sumande family ang araw para mag-reunion. Some realizations:

-I'm closer to my titas and titos than to my cousins (they're like babies)
-All my titas and titos look younger than their real age (pero ba't ako, hinde!!!!!!!)
-I treat some of my cousins as if their my nephews and nieces.
-I feel older.
-Enjoy mag-magic sing.
-Mas masarap mag-magic sing kung lahat ng tao sa paligid ay game.
-Kami nga ay one, big, videoke family.

Some photos (na hanggang ngayon ay di ko pa ma-upload sa multiply ko!):

My kapatids and my cousins: Uji in red, Tajannah (my sister), Binong (our youngest), cousins David (Ate Rose's oldest son) and Noel (whose Daddy -my tito who reads this blog-will be leaving for Austria today -Dec. 26).

MORE PHOTOS SOOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

pagod!

2006-12-22T06:16:00.000-08:00

Busy kanina. Galing SM with Mama. At kahit lagi kong sinasabing wala kaming Christmas, eto, galing kami sa Toy Kingdom para mamili ng gifts para sa mga pinsan ko (Mama used to be a Catholic before she and Papa got married so I have Catholic aunts and uncles). Pero okay lang, saya namang makigulo sa mga nagla-last minute shopping. Tsaka nakabili ako ng 0.1,0.3,0.5 tech pens;) Yeah, boy! Malas nga lang, walang Staedtler kaya Rotring na lang ang pinagtiisan ko. Meron pang libreng canister. Tapos bumili na rin ako ng blender ng kure. Naubusan eh.

Dami pang plates. I have 4 pages to do over the vacation at eto, nakakaisa pa lang ako. Haha! Napakatamad ko talaga.

Tuwing tinatanong ako kung may balak ba akong magtrabaho sa ibang bansa, lagi kong sinasabi na hindi na. Mas kailangan ang work force sa Pilipinas (drama!). Tsaka konsensya na lang, gobyerno ang nagpapaaral sakin ngayon. At isa pa, susumpungin lang ako ng depresyon sa ibang bansa. Pero kanina, napag-usapan yung magandang buhay ng mga pinsan at kamag-anak ko sa Indonesia. Nagda-dalawang isip tuloy ako. Pero hinde!!!!!!!!! Dito lang ako. Dito lang ako. Dito lang ako? Oo, dito lang dapat ako.

Alas tres na ko natulog kagabi. Ang rason? Online si Mek, classmate ko nung grade one at grade two. Yun yung last time naming nagkita. Nung grade school pa! Pa'no kami nagkaron ng contact ulit? Classmate sya ni Hisham ngayon. Ang liit ng mundo! Haha! At tinawag pa n'ya kong Ms. Smiley dahil sa avatar kong ito. At syempre, maya-maya, sabi n'ya, online din si Raz, bestfriend ko nung Grade one at two. Oo, sa maniwala kayo't sa hindi, nagkaron na ko ng bestfriend. So ayun, kahit na inaantok na ko, pinipigil ko ang tulog dahil minsan ko lang silang makausap, no? Haay...sarap talaga ng long weekend!

ganda nito!

2006-11-30T05:40:00.000-08:00

Galing talaga ng Coke pagdating sa advertising. At syemopre, nabuhay na naman ang pangarap kong maging advertiser. Feeling ko kasi, mas laid back ang trabaho dito kaya wala nang problema sa kasuotan(I am not a high-heels kind of person) tsaka mas masaya. Pero wala eh, I think I'm going to be stuck in this course I'm taking up. Anyway, Ma'am Espina's class is helping me naman to cope. Her grace and all keeps me grounded.

Walang pasok ngayon! Saya no? To think, kahapon, kahit Miyerkules ay nasa arki kami para tapusin ang plate. After lunch, pumunta kaming faculty room para magmakaawa kay Ma'am na ipauwi na n'ya ang trabaho. Ayaw n'ya na kasing ipagawa sa bahay ang plates namin dahil nagkakapuyatan daw. May mga nagkakasakit kasi sa ganung sistema, ang "walang tulugan" system.

So ayun, sabi ni Sir Aleta, kunin na lang ng Huwebes dahil may pasok naman nun. Humirit ako ng bakit di na lang kunin nung araw na yun, Miyerkules. Baka bumagyo kinabukasan at walang pasok, di pa namin makuha. Natawa lang si Sir kasi parang imposible. Sabi naman ni Dennen at Nica, meron nga daw bagyong paparating. Akalain mong pagdating ng hapon, kumalat sa arki na wala ngang pasok kinabukasan. Haha...matinding sigawan sa kotse ni Kuya Layu ang naganap nang ma-confirn namin through Kuya Lou's text ang balita. Talk about dilang anghel. Di naman ako anghel. hehe...dyosa ako ng kagandahan. Charing!

Saturday ngayon at syempre, kagagaling ko lang sa boarding house kagabi. After nun, nagkita kaming Makati nila Mama.

Kaya ayun, pinapagamit ko kila parents yung Advantage Card ko. Malay mo, mag-200,000 ulit! Well, that's what you get when you have 7 siblings!

Blast from the Past

2006-11-01T00:07:00.000-08:00

I was browsing through my archives when I came across my wishlist post months ago. That's when I began crossing out those I already got. Here goes:

1. Kurecolor markers: I now have more or less 34 colors. Not bad. It costs 115 pesos per color now.

2. Adjustable triangle: Got one! This one's not branded. I got it for 395 pesos. I saved approximately 600 pesos there! Thank God for Joli's.

3. Drawing table: Browse through this. Enough said.

4. Tool box: I don't think I need one anymore. I've got two already so I guess that's enough.

5. Dangling earrings: Can I just say I already have lots of these? But too much is not enough for an addict like me.

6. Memory card: Got one. 128 MB. Haha! So much for a camwhore! :)

7. Flash disk with mp3: Mommy gave me a flask disk recently. 1 gig. Hehe... And I gifted myself with an mp4 last March 3 (512 MB). Nice!

8. Radio slash pillow: I can't find one. If you know where I can buy this, please tell me? ;)

9. VCDs (All My Life and Kung Ako Na Lang Sana): I got Kung Ako Na Lang Sana but I haven;t bought All My Life yet. Need to save 300 pesos for that. :)

There you go.

Seven out of 9 is not bad, right? I'm such a material girl! :D

Yipee!

2006-10-31T22:59:00.000-08:00

I woke up pretty early today (6 am is early when there is no class) so I'm the one tasked to get the morning papers that the newspaper man delivers in our house.

2006-10-25T23:27:00.000-07:00

Natapos din ang plate sa 161. Haha! Kudos to my groupmates: Dennen, Cathe, and Lique. We did it! Antayin na lang ang resulta pero anyway, wag muna problemahin. Time to rest our minds (and our bodies) :)

plate-making ala-talia and the group:

go from one side of metro manila to the other side. From Malabon City, Dennen's home (the site we selected to redesign), we went to Taguig, our home (where we did our boards).
Immediately after praying (Eid'l Fitr), continue doing your plates.
Do it in your brother's bedroom.
Call Cathe during weekend. When your groupmate asks what she's supposed to bring for the next overnight, tell her some tech pens and kurecolors will do. And then add, some DVDs will be good, too.
Doing your plate while having a DVD-marathon won't hurt!

Our verdict:
Best movie: All About Love (haha...we're jologs like that)
Best Pair: Luis Manzano and Anne Curtis
Best Lines from the Movie: (can't remember the exact words)
Jackie Lou Blanco (Luis' mom): Hija, ba't di ka kumakain? You don't like the food?
Badong (Anne's character): Sige po, mamaya na lang.
JLB: Bakit? Vegetarian ka ba?
Badong: Di po, Noranian po ako.
JLB: Ako rin.

Use the aircon 24/7. Just be ready for some lip-cracking two days after. Dennen, Cathe and I had chapped, bleeding lips because of this. Hehe...
Eat every two hours or so. Sabi nga ni Lique, mananaba daw kami pag ganun ng ganun.

What do you do after submitting your plate in 161 to commemorate the end of the sem?

Have your picture taken (with your groupmates) beside a fallen tree.
Go to SM North with Dennen and her sister, Kim.
Eat your lunch there.
Crave for Tim Tam Originals (the original, not the Asian version, because it's yummier) and buy one box in SM Department Store.
Buy a book in booksale.
Accompany Dennen and Kim in National Bookstore.
Buy back issues of teen mags (3 for 100 at The Block!)
Buy Strawberry Glazed douhgnuts in Gonuts Donuts (strawberry-flavored doughnut plus orange juice equals one yucky combination).
Go home and sleep.

P.S: Dennen, ang culprit sa katakawan ko ay PMS. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto. Cathe, Lique, Dennen, kasalanan n'yo kung bakit kumain ako ng 3 peanut butter sandwich habang nagko-computer! Bad influence! :)

I'm a Happy Hollow Queen

2006-10-20T14:29:00.000-07:00

What do you do when you need to look for the perfect halloween costume for your little brother (who is, by the way, not so little anymore)?

You play around!

This sem, oh this sem (warning: drama mode turned on)

2006-10-16T07:29:00.000-07:00

This day may not be the end of the sem (at least not for me and my groupmates in 161). But at this moment, I can now sleep early without worrying about a plate due next day which I would be doing on the last minute. This sem, I have been a professional crammer. One sem of third year and I became a licensed one. Who would forget that one week of no sleep (okay,maybe I'm exaggerating. I was able to sleep for 15 minutes maximum every now and then) last August? Or the sleeping in the corridor my blockmates and I would do, not minding people passing by? Or the sleeping in the tambayan with the pillows and banigs all to ourselves?

So yeah, if I were to describe this sem using one word, the perfect one would be SLEEP. No, not the way you think of it. We don't do it in the comforts of our bed. We do it in school. In between classes. Or worse, while in the middle of a lecture.

I hate this sem. This is, as Conrad said a while ago, "the worst sem ever". 5 major subjects this sem did not make us love our course. We hated it even more. I used to love doodling but now, I'd rather read books than put my pen and paper to good use. Plus the pressure makes it even harder for us to love the sem.

It did not just affect me physically (look, Ma, big eyebags!). It also took toll on my emotional health. Tell me, it's just normal to cry every night while doing one major plate. It's a normal thing to call your blockmates using your cellphone, no thanks to your limited load, just so you know there's somebody there who understands your case. It's normal to be depressed. It's normal to call your parents in the middle of the night to make them fetch you from your boarding house because you think you need to see them and that would make you feel less depressed.

If there's one thing I love in this sem, it's the realizations. Ate Mimi texted us last Friday about the things she realized. It's about priorities. This sem, we all focused on our studies. But if we think about it, studies should not be the major thing making our world go around. I admit, I have taken for granted my relationship with God (this coming from somebody who doesn't talk about her faith too often). My family, my friends and even myself. And how I hated "me" for it.

Fortunately, I have an understanding family who gives me what I need. Cliche as it may seem, they are my crying shoulder during my dark hours. I can confide to them everytime I have a problem (and that happens too often this time). They tell me they don't expect too much from me but their saying that makes me want to give them more.

Having these things in my mind, I have decided to not take this course too seriously. I know I need to give out my best in everything but I will try not to make things affect me. In doing so, I also want to repair the "misaligned" connection I have with people surrounding me. And I hope, after doing this, I'd also learn to look at the world with a brighter perspective. Yihee!

May nagmamahal sakin!

2006-10-14T17:28:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah! Mahal ako ng CRS people! I got all 20 units! Yeah boy! :)

Gweneth Paltrow: Ooohh
Huey Lewis: Cruise with me baby
Gweneth Paltrow: I love it when we're cruising together

Litanya ng taong sawa na

2006-08-03T04:27:00.000-07:00

Birds of the same feather flock together.

Mahirap mag-explain sa taong sarado ang isip.

Walang pwedeng mag-react sa post na to.

Halata bang galit ako?

Hindi ah!

Galit na galit.

From now on. I might just keep my mouth shut.

Alam ko maraming maaaring magbago.

Dahil natural na sa'kin ang pagiging maingay.

Ano naman?

Sawa na kong magnanay-nanayan.

Maybe it's time to take care of myself.

Dahil di ako si Batman.

Wala akong superpowers to shield my feelings.

And now, I must let my cape fall down.

yihee!

2006-07-22T18:06:00.000-07:00

SSShhhhh...walang maingay, natutulog s'ya. Pahinga lahat ng drafting materials ko this week.

After looking for it in every Natonal Bookstore branch we know, from SM North to SM Makati to Katipunan, we were able to find one last stock in Market! Market! (my first time to go there). Sa wakas! My very own. Tuluy-tuloy na sa LA 'to!

***

I was with my inay yesterday. We went to the pre-school I attended more than a decade ago. I was reminiscing to the highest level. My teacher then is still teaching. The materials we used, although some were renovated, are still there. Haaayyy... I should now stop. This drama nonsense is getting nowhere.

***

Whaaa!!!! I still have to do a paper in Arch 161. My mind is completely blank.

Mas blooper pa...

2006-07-14T18:27:00.000-07:00

blooper of the week (since feeling ko, weekly na lang din ako pwedeng mag-update. parang si ate diane)...

Sa arki lib....

Lique: Honeymoon baby ako.
Ayit: Ako din.
Talia: (Bigla na lang nakisingit) Ako, lima gusto ko.
Ayit and Lique: Huh?
Lique: Pa'no ka magiging honeymoon baby? Di ka naman panganay ha.
Talia: Ah...akala ko, sabi n'yo, "anim ang baby ko".

Tagoinks! Singit kasi ng singit!

Blooper of the day

2006-07-14T05:55:00.000-07:00

(at the end of a really haggard Friday)

Talia: Pa, daan tayong National (Bookstore).
Papa: Sige, bilisan mo ha. Antyin ka na lang namin dito. Di na kami magpa-park.

So after buying a tube of tracing paper, 8 hopia papers, one long cutting ruler, 4 different kinds of pencil, I went to the cashier to pay.

I went out immediately after and went to the island in front of Ateneo-NBS overpass where they dropped me off.

I knocked on the door of a car and the one who drives unlocked the door without even looking at me. I, of course, opened the door. As I was about to enter the car, I went, "do we have a bag that looks like this?" I looked at the driver and I went, "uh-oh...wrong car. Sorry".

So much for having a car which everyone has in the exact same color!

Gusto ko nito...

2006-07-08T20:15:00.000-07:00

Fit na fit para sa isang singer ...ehem...

I'm so drooling.

normal ba to?

2006-07-08T19:33:00.000-07:00

Porke ba busy ako, hindi ko alam na kahapon pa pala ang opening ng UAAP? Tell me, what can be busier than this? As in no hint. Clueless ako na UAAP season na. Whaa! Give me back my life!

MSA meeting that turned bad

2006-06-17T18:05:00.000-07:00

So I was out yesterday attending a meeting and supervising the renovation of MSA tambayan. At 9:00 am, I was already in UP. So it is no wonder that by 4 pm, I was already tired from looking for wallpapers, paints, plywoods, and other stuff. I asked my father dearest if he can fetch me form school but sadly, he can't. So he called me up instead.

Papa: Anong oras ka uuwi?
Talia: Maya-maya.
Papa: Anong inaantay n'yo?
Talia: Yung materials na ide-deliver.
Papa: Umuwi ka na. Sino bang kasama mo?
Talia: Si Ayshia.
Papa: Nasan kayo? Ba't ang ingay-ingay d'yan? Ba't andaming tao?
Talia: Nasa Vinzons.

And the creepy part is, only Ayshia and I were in that building that time.

I feel like I should feed you something that would make you laughing your asses off after telling a really frightening story. So click away!

You asked for it, you're going to get it ;) Nothing interesting happened in my life for the past days so if you're not ready for some boring ramblings, I think you should stop reading.

***

Classes started this Tuesday. I'm now officially a third year student. Woohoo! Hopefully, I'd finish this course in two years time. Join me in my prayers.

***

Haay... I have to concentrate on a lot of school works. Because apparently, third year LA students need to take their subjects seriously. If they think we're not serious enough last year, then why do these pimples and eyebags stop me from looking at the mirror?

***

I've been deprived of internet connection for a week. Now I'm here, I can't seem to open my friendster account. Tell me I'm not alone here.

***

I have a Math subject this sem. Let me copy and paste here my Friendster "About Me" section.

I just want to repeat my Geography 1 introduction to the class. This says it all: Got my name Anna from my mother's nickname. The usual coining of parent's names. Taha plus Nelia equals Talia. Hence, Anna Talia. A Muslim and proud of that. Interests:I loveD Math with an emphasis to the letter D. After taking up Math 17 (but, hey, I was able to pass), the subject became a thing of the past. Just like any typical teenager, I always surf the net. I love music butI don't sing. Weird Habit: I bring radio in the CR when I take a bath and I listen to the radio while sleeping.

So yeah, I don't enjoy Math as much as I do before. And having to wake up at 5:30 am everyday just to go in that 7 am class doesn't make life any better. So call me loser or whatever you want. I just hate this subject. Who can blame me?

(More on the "Math rants" next post)

Kahapon, nag-i-internet ako. Tapos, lumapit sakin si Papa. May inabot na papel. Nakiki-type. Tapos, nanghihingi pa ng ballpen. May corrections pa ata. So, umalis muna s'ya. Pagbalik sakin, inabot na yung papel. Nagtaka ako, eh resibo yun eh. Pagtingin ko sa likod, may nakasulat "Sama ka daw, manonood ng Da Vinci". Hahaha! Secret lang para di mainggit yung mga kapatid kong minors :)

Natuloy din sa wakas ang date namin ni Robert Langdon :)

_______________

Nung naghahanda na ko ng damit, pumasok ako sa kwarto ng mga ate namin. Nagpa-plantsa si Ate Perlita.

Ako: Ate, nakita mo yung silver ko na pants.
Ate P: Eto o. (Inabot yung gold na pajama ng isa pang ate)
Ako: Hindi yan, ayun o. (Tinuro ko yung pants na hinahanap ko)
Ate P: A, eto pala. (Inabot naman yung blue na pajama)
Ako: Di yan, ayun o.
Ate P: Ah, eto pala. Di mo naman sinabi, gray yan eh.

At least, s'ya alam n'ya ang difference ng silver at gray.

CWTS

2006-05-21T17:22:00.000-07:00

Monday na at di ko pa rin matanggap na hindi ako papasok ngayon for CWTS. So sad to learn na tapos na ang five weeks ng masasayang plotting at autocad-ding. Nami-miss ko ang groupmates ko. Yeah, we said we'd still see each other and eat out this sem. Kaso, alam ko kasing iba na yun. Parang iba yung feeling na alam naming groupmates namin ang isa't isa. Yung nakasalalay yung grades namin sa gawa ng isa. Shet! Nagda-drama ako.

Anyway, things I learned from this CWTS:

* Masarap ang Myrna. Di n'yo alam kung ano yun? It's all around UP. Magbasa-basa kasi kayo!

* Mas masarap ang Maranan kesa sa Myrna. Sa KNL namin nakita to eh.

* Tumingin-tingin sa paligid pag naglalakad. Baka ma-Matt Ranillo ka!

* Pag napansin mong may nag-so-slow down na sasakyan, tumakbo ka na. Magtatanong ng direksyon yun. Okay lang sana kung may sense of direction ka, pero kung pare-pareho kayong di marunong...

* Masarap mag-ala-Robert Langdon sa Main Lib Archives.

* Ang isang Ipod ay pwedeng i-share sa apat na tao.

* Masarap kumanta habang nagdo-draw.

* Pwede ring magtawanan habang nasusunog sa ilalim ng araw.

Wala na kong maisip. I'll be back for more. Eto nga pala ang groupmates ko:

1. Cathe Desiree Nadal- ang babaeng pinaglihi sa telepono. Para s'yang si Kris Aquino sa Smart commercial nung nagpapa-spa. Maya-maya, kausap mo, maya-maya, may kausap na sa telepono. S'ya rin ang pinakamagaling sa grupo namin. Ang OSLA ng BASLA (Yihee!)

2. Juli Cardillo- ang gifted child (pianist na taga-UPIS) na punung-puno ng kabadingan. Dahil sa kanya, ang maganda kong pangalang Talia ay naging parang pagawaan ng kotse (Taliers) :D Ang mga sentences n'yang seryoso, nagiging nakakatawa dahil may "itetch" sa dulo.

3. Kenneth Seraspi- the only thorn among the roses :D S'ya lang ang walang blog sa'min. S'ya lang din ang minor sa'min. Ang Aldred-look-alike na nakakatakot mag-tantrums. Minsan nang nabiktima ng balita ko sa kanyang di pwedeng manood ng Da Vinci Code ang walang dalang birth certificate. C'mon! Nica, Dennen, may credibility pa rin ako kahit konti. May kumakagat pa rin sa practical jokes ko!

Whaa! Tapos na lahat ng experiences na ganito. Shemay!

Clockwise from upper left: Kenneth, Cathe, Talia, and Juli.

Bago umuwi, magpicture-picture muna at kumain ng Myrna :)

Nakikinig ako ng show nila Chico and Delamar sa radio kaninang umaga. Ang topic nila, PUV moments. Dahil wala akong load, dito ko na lang ishi-share yung moment ko.

May kinikwento yata si Ayit nun. Tapos, sumagot ako.

Talia: Para? (malakas kami magkwentuhan)
Huminto yung jeep.
Napatingin ako sa paligid. Matagal-tagal ding nakahinto yung jeep at unusual sa isang Ikot yung huminto sa lugar na hindi waiting shed. Nang ma-realize ko yung kamalian ko, ni-rephrase ko yung sentence.
Talia: For what?
Tawanan yung blockmates ko na kasama ko nun. Stupid na word talaga yang "para" na yan.

Somebody's freaking me out. He keeps sending me messages in Friendster and when I sent a group message in YM to let everybody know about my new number, he sent lots of replies.

Here are his messages which I obviously didn't edit:

Waaah!!! Uso ba talaga ang word na 'stranded' ngayon? I should be doing our autocad presentation pero stranded ako sa Taguig dahil sa bagyo. Kala ko nga may hindi lang talaga nag-i-start na kotse dito. Yun pala, hampas na ng hangin yung naririnig ko. Pa'no kaya 'to?

Ulan/bagyo=more appetite.

Talia is now playing the role of a food scientist. Kahapon, bumili kami ng Nai Cha sa Chowking. First time kong uminom nun since di kami pwede sa mga pagkain sa fast food na yun. Nasarapan ako. Eh nagke-crave si ganda (that's me!). Kaya nag-experiment ako. Haha! Lipton Yellow Label Tea plus two sachets ng Equal (everybody's dieting here) tapos tunawin yung two teaspoons ng Nido (walang evap dito eh) sa 1/2 cup ng hot water. Paghalu-haluin and jenen! May improvised na kong milk tea.

Di d'yan natapos ang pagiging food expert ko. May nakita akong 2 Pringles sa kusina (yeah, right! Ganyan ba talaga pag nagda-diet?). Sawa na ko dun. To spice things up (may gumaganun?) naglagay ako sa mangkok ng Cheez Whiz pimiento tapos sinawsaw ko dun. Sarap!
At dahil Sharonian ako tulad ng nanay ko, sinubukan ko na rin yung garlic mayo dip n'ya sa commercial. 1 clove ng garlic plus Lady's Choice Mayonnaise (to taste). Ayun, may masarap nang pagkain! At dahil di ako madamot, pinakita ko sa mga kapatid ko yung experiment ko. Patok naman! Ubos lahat. Ginaya pa nga ni Minah yug Nai Cha ko eh. Haha! Gourmet ang drama ko!

Ayun, nood na naman ng TV si couch patatas Talia. Bakit ganun? Kanonood ko lang ng TV Patrol at nakita ko si Diane Castillejo na ini interview si Oscar Larios (tama ba?) in the middle of his training. Kampi ako kay Manny Pacquiao pero I can see something wrong there. Hindi ba’t dapat eh secret lang yung training ng boxers? Ah, ewan!

Ang aga pa pero nasa harap na ko ng computer. Time check: 8:13 am. Gusto ko lang i-share yung napanood ko sa Breakfast kanina. Mother’s Day Special kasi nila. May tatlong nanay na minake-over. Tapos tinanong yung contestants kung anong wish nila para sa mga nanay nila.

Interviewee # 1: Ahmm…long life tsaka good health.

Interviewee # 2: Long life tsaka sana maging healthy pa s’ya lalo.

Interviewee # 3: Ma, sana humaba pa yung buhay mo.

Ehng? Eh kung singitan pa kaya nila ng walang kamatayang world peace?

8 May 2006

Sinamahan ko yung kapatid ko na mag-enroll kahapon. At talaga namang inabot kami ng hanggang 7pm. Grabe yung pagod. Ayan tuloy, di ko natapos yung ino-autocad ko. Swerte ko na lang at na-text ni Cathe (who was stranded that time in Caticlan, just one boat ride away from Boracay) si Sir VJ na 1 pm na lang kami magpa-consult. Swerte pa rin!

***

Mukha ba akong freshie? Kasi, habang lahat ng mga kasama ng mga nag-e-enroll na freshie (usually their parents) eh pinapalabas at pinapaalis sa kinauupuan nila, hinahayaan ako ng mga tao sa pwesto ko. Buti mabait ako, umaalis ako sa off-limits na lugar kahit na di ako sinasabihan!

***

Kumain akong CASAA kahapon at nakita ko si Faith. Ang pambungad na greeting n’ya sa’kin? “Tumaba ka!” Well, what else is new?

***

Halos maubos ko yung load ko sa kaka-text at kakatawag sa kapatid ko. Naka-off ang phone n’ya. Kaya n’ya nang sumakay ng ikot mag-isa! Whaa! This goody-two-shoes, really mahiyain, di makabasag pinggan, soft-spoken, madre, hall-of-famer Best in Conduct awardee nung high school(all four years!) kapatid of mine? Grabe yun! I should stop being overprotective.

***

Because of what I wrote, I just remembered one scenario last summer when two of my sisters texted me while I was walking to my class. “Anong number ni Ate Tarhata (my older sister)?” I gave them. Turned out, they asked her how to go to the nearest Jollibee. They wouldn’t want to ask me because they know for sure I won’t allow them. Am I that strict?

***

I want to start writing in English now! Why? Because my English writing skill is really deteriorating. And I have to practice. I almost flunked my Creative Writing class last sem!

***

I’m currently reading someone’s blog thru the E-book feature of my MP4. Hahaha… I’m a real stalker! Be afraid. Be very afraid!

***

I want to make use of this feature. Where do I download an e-file version of some titles? Gimme!

9 May 2006

Salamat naman at natapos din ang consultation. Habang inaantay namin ni Cathe ang ibang groupmates na dumating pati na si Sir VJ, nakita ko yung isang pusa sa Arki na pumasok sa basurahan. At hindi ito isang bukas na basurahan. Ito yung one-way lang. Kumbaga, kung pumasok ka, di ka na makakalabas unless pagbuksan ka. Tapos, may isang pusa na nag-a-attempt pagbuksan yung pusa sa loob. Maya-maya, umiiyak na yung pusa. Pinasilip ko kay Cathe. Binuksan n’ya yung pinto sa pamamagitan ng walis. Natakot ako ng todo kasi parang umilaw yung mata. Tumakbo ako palayo. Nakalabas naman yung pusa. Patakbo. Parang kabayo. Napasigaw tuloy ako at napaakyat ng upuan.

Maya-maya, bumalik na yung isang pusa na gustong tulungan yung isa (naglakwatsa pa yata). Kala yata, nasa loob pa yung kasama n’ya. Sinabi ni Cathe, “ Nakalabas na” Akala ko, naintindihan na ng pusa yun kasi umalis s’ya Nag-uusap na kami ng groupmates ko. Pagtingin ko, may paa na sa basurahan. Kakapasok lang ata nung bayaning pusa. Shemay! Wala na yung kasama n’ya sa loob. Hero-hero-han ang drama nung pusa!

***

Laugh trip na naman sa SM habang naghahanap ng materials dahil sa groupmates ko.

National Bookstore:

May nakita kaming magazine ni Juli. New edition ng Cosmo.

Me: Katawan n’ya ba yan? No way!

Juli: Halata namang photoshopped.

(Dumating si Kenneth at Cathe)

Cathe: Ano yan? Ano yan?

(tinakpan ko yung mukha nung nasa picture pero iniwan ko yung katawan na kita)

Juli: Hula kayo.
Kenneth: Clue?

Talia: Sikat ‘to.

Juli: Sobrang sikat! May telenovela s’ya.

Cathe: Kristine Hermosa? (See, she cannot be as thin as Kristine Hermosa!)

(tinanggal ko na yung kamay ko to reveal the face of…Juday!) Imposible talaga. Ang
haba ng torso. Payat masyado. Mahaba yung braso at…well-endowed! That can never be Juday’s body. O baka naman na-edit ng sobra-sobra yung features n’ya thru photoshop nga)

***

At ang pinakamatindi sa lahat:

Habang nasa jeep kami nila Cathe at Kenneth pauwi na sa UP, yung katabi ni Kenneth, nagtanong.

Lady: Sa’n dito yung Masters Office?

Kenneth: Ano po?

Lady: Yung Masteral Office ng buong UP?

Me (Di ko na natiis): Ano pong college?

Lady: Yung Distance Learning.

Me: (Since galing kaming DLRC kanina) Ah, sa Ilang po yun.

Kenneth: Ano ka ba? Sampa yun.

Me: Ay, oo nga, Sampa. Dun po sa dulo ng building na ‘to (nasa tapat ng AS na yung jeep) kayo papara. Tapos diretsuhin n’yo lang po. May dorm dun.

Kenneth: Sa loob po ng dorm yung DLRC.

--Pagbaba nung babae—

Cathe (who was quiet all the time, said): May Distance Learning ba dito?

Me: DLRC. Di ba, Distance Learning Resource…ay shemay! Diliman Learning pala yun!

Cathe and I: Eh sa ABS-CBN yung Distance Learning, di ba?

Lesson learned: Wag maniniwala kay Talia pagdating sa mga ganyang bagay.

***

May bagong movie yung Star Cinema. All About Love. Andun si Bea Alonzo! Hahaha…Ano, Dennen, Cathe, nood tayo? Para may kasunod na yung Close To You movie tripping natin :D

***

Quotable quote from PBB:

Brenda: Naniniwala ka ba sa superstitious?

Clare: Oo, naniniwala ako sa supertitious (super tissues ba ang ibig n’yang sabihin dito? Kaya bang linisin n’yan sa pamamagitan ng pagpupunas ang buong Metro Manila?)

10 May 2006

What’s all these thing about cats? I am not an animal lover or something but I just can’t stand cats crying. I have just bought my dinner and was about to go home. And since I am not stupid, I took the short cut. On my way there, I saw something rolling on the road. As I came closer, I saw a cat writhing in pain. I think I saw blood and I think it was ran over by a car. Since I am a chicken, I backed off and took the longer route instead. I just might scream if I saw blood coming out of this animal that is struggling for its life. I know PAWS, PETA people, and other animal lovers out there may hate me for not saving the poor cat. But what can I do? The only pet I’ve ever had is a goldfish which soon died and is soon replaced by a hito when I was young. And, let me say it one more time, I’m a chicken.

I remember last year, I was a freshie then, Faith and I killed time in my boarding house while we were waiting for our next class. Then, when we were about to go to our class, we saw a dead cat (again) ran over by a car. I’m sure of that although I haven’t seen it. There are marks of tire in the corpse (is that what you call it in cats or is that supposed to refer to dead human bodies only?). What’s worse, all its organs are showing. I think I even saw its brain. Maybe that explains my trauma in seeing a dead cat.

After that, I saw two more dead cats. One is beside the tennis court at the back of SC and the other one is at Law while we were plotting the location of trees (CWTS thing).

***

Ilang buwan nang di umuulan kaya naman di namin ine-expect na uulan ngayon at magpapahinga si haring araw. Ayan tuloy, ako lang ang tanging may dala ng payong sa mga kasama ko. Why didn’t we know it would rain? Ah, wala na kasi si Ka Ernie. Wala nang mag-uulat ng panahon.

Nakita ko lang sa ibang blog.

_________________________

"Ito ang mga huling taon ng dekada 80 at ang mga unang taon ng dekada 90. Ito ang panahong uso pa ang makiuso. Kung ginagaya mo ang style ng mga artista, hindi ka tatawaging jologs. Ito ang panahong tapos na ang martial law, pero malayo pa ang new millennium. Hindi pa high-tech pero di naman old fashioned. Saktong-sakto lang!
Ito ang panahon natin. Pero pano mo malalaman kung kabilang ka sa henerasyong ito? Narito ang listahan na makapagpapatunay if youre one of us. R U?

· Paborito mong panoorin ang Shaider, Bio-man, Maskman, Mask Rider Black, Machine Man at kung ano-anong TV sitcom ng Japan na isinalin sa Tagalog. Break muna sa mga laro kapag alas singko na ng hapon tuwing Sabado dahil panahon na para sa superhero marathon.(true! sama-sama kami lagi sa napakalaking TV ng lolo ko pag hapon kasama ng amoy pawis kong mga kalaro.)

. Alam mo ang jingle ng Nano-Nano. (isang kending lasang champoy.) Nanood ka ng Takeshis Castle at naniwala kang si Anjo Yllana talaga si Takeshi at si Smokey Manaloto ang kanyang alalay. (Pinagiisipan mo pano sila lumalaban sa final challenge na parang nakasakay sila sa isang bumpcar at nagbabarilan sila gamit ang water gun gayong sa Japan ginagawa yun eh taga Pilipinas sila?)(Sweet, sour and salty, nano-nano, nano-nano...see, memorize ko pa! Favorite ko rin yang Takeshis Castke na yan dati. Mga 6 pm din yan, di ba?)

. Naglaro ka ng Shake-Shake Shampoo, Monkey-Monkey-Annabelle, prikidam 123, Langit-Lupa-Impyerno, Syato, Luksong-Tinik, Luksong-Baka, 10-20 at kung ano-ano pang larong nakakapagod.(yup yup, yung papasok ng maaga para makapag 10-20 tapos pag pasukan na, pagod na kayong lahat!)

· Pumunta ang mga taga-MILO sa skul niyo at namigay sila ng samples na nakalagay sa plastic cup na kasing laki nung sa maliit na ice cream. (at nagtaka ka, bakit hindi ganito ang lasa ng MILO kapag tinitimpla ko sa bahay namin?)(korek! pero ganun pa rin naman yung lasa nung Milo na tinimpla sa bahay namin eh)

· May malaking away ang mga METAL (mga punks na naka itim) at mga HIPHOP (mga taong naka maluwang na puruntong na kahit Makita na ang dalawang bundok.) Nag-aabangan sa mall na may dalang baseball bat at kung anu-ano pang mga sandata.(ay, di naman!)

· Sikat ang kasabihang PUNKS NOT DEAD! pero kung gusto mong mag play safe, pwede mong tawagin ang sarili mong HIPTAL.(di ko alam yang hiptal. basta naabutan ko yung punks not dead)

· Alam mo ang universal uwian song na Uwian na! na kinakanta sa tono na parang doon sa kinakasal.(true-yun na! kasabay ng pagsigaw ng finish pag tapos nang magsulat. pero pag nagtri-trip-trip kami ng classmates ko, khalas yung sinisigaw. Arabic yan eh)

· Nagpauto ka sa Batibot pero hindi sa ATBP.(nag-field trip pa nga kami sa batibot nung prep)

· Nakipag-away ka para makapaglaro ng brick game. (hi-tech na yun noon)(di naman. Taganood lang ako ng mga pinsan ko. Unang kita ko nga akala ko, gumagawa ng building eh)

· Ang text (as in teks) noon ay mga 1x1.5 na karton na may mga drawing ng pelikulang pinoy. (at may dialog pa!) (jologs man, kaya lang ako bumibili ng teks, para mabasa yung dialogue ng pelikula :P)

· Dalawa lang ang todong sumikat na wresler, si Hulk Hogan at si Ultimate Warrior.(actually, up to now, sila lang ang kilala kong wrestler)

· Naniwala ka rin na namatay si Ultimate Warrior nang buhatin niya si Andre d Giant dahil pumutok ang mga ugat niya sa muscle.(aba malay ko!)

· Nagsayaw ka ng running man at kung anu-anong dance steps na nakapagpamukha sayong tanga sa saliw na kantang Ice Ice Baby, Wiggle It, Pray at Cant Touch This.(ice,ice baby lang alam ko eh)

· Hindi ka gaanong mahilig sa Thats Entertainment at pinapanood mo lang ito tuwing Sabado kung saan nagpapagandahan ng production numbers ang Monday hanggang Friday group. (at badtrip ka sa Wednesday group dahil pinakabaduy lagi ang performance nila!)(basta ang alam ko lang, napipilitan akong manood ng That's Entertainment dahil yun ang pinapanood ng tita ko)

· Napaligaya ka ng maraming pinoy bands tulad ng Yano, Rivermaya, Grin Department, Tropical Depression, The Teeth, The Youth, After Image, Orient Pearl, The Dawn, Alamid, Wolfgang, at ang sikat na sikat na Eraserheads.(at aminin mong nakinig ka ng Siakol!)(at ngayon, pag naglalakad ako sa UP, nakakasalubong ko si Yano sa Area 2)

· Kilala mo ang Smokey Mountain, (first and second generation). (may second generation? basta sila jeffrey hidalgo at geneva cruz lang kilala ko eh)

· Hindi pa uso noon ang sapatos na may gulong. Noon, astig ka kapag umiilaw ang swelas ng sapatos mo tuwing ia-apak mo ito. Tinawag rin itong Mighty Kid Kung lalaki ka,(tama-tama)

· sikat na sikat sayo ang mga larong text, jolens, dampa (mga unang anyo ng pustahan), saranggola at ang dakilang manika niyo ay si GI-JOE with alipores.(oo na, malungkot na childhood ko dahil up to now, di pa ko nakakapagpalipad ng saranggola at recently lang ako nakakita at nakatikim ng aratiles)

· Kung babae ka naman, ang mga laro mo with your girlfriends ay luto-lutuan, bahay-bahayan, doktor-doktoran, at kung anu-ano pang pagkukunwari . ang dakilang manika mo ay si Barbie. (Sikat ka kung meron kang bahay, kotse at kabaong ni Barbie.)(true! pero, kabaong ni barbie? may ganun)

· Naniwala kang original ang isang cap kapag may walong tahi sa visor nito.Swerte ka kapag panghapon ka dahil masusubaybayan mo ang mga kapanapanabik na kaganapan sa mga paborito mong cartoon shows tuwing umaga tulad ng Cedie, Sarah, at Dog of Landers a.k.a. Nelo. (Hindi ka ba nagtataka na sa lahat ng mga bida sa cartoons na ito, si Nelo lang ang di yumaman at namatay pa ng maaga)(sorry, swerte pala ako dahil panghapon ako sa OB noon.)

· Alam mo ang ibig sabihin ng TIME FIRST! Bakit kaya ganon? Kahit sang lupalop ka ng Pilipinas naroon, eh nakaka-relate ka sa mga pinagsasasabi ko.(haha...kakatuwa 'to!)

Siguroy dahil wala pang cable at kakaunti lang ang pagpipiliang channels kaya parepareho tayo ng pinapanood. Maaaring wala pang playstation kaya kung anu-ano na lang ang naiimbentong laro na pwedeng gawin sa kalsada o sa isang bakanteng lote. Pero kung ano man ang dahilan sa pagkaparepareho natin ng karanasan, masaya na rin akong naging bata ako sa panahong ito. Masarap alalahanin at balik-balikan, Di ba?"

Sa wakas, after a year or so ng pagiging girlfriend ng kuya ko, nakita ko rin finally si Ate Apian. Nagpa-print daw kasi s'ya ng bio data dito sa bahay and Uji, the real observant that he is, saw her birthday, April 29. So ayun, she spent it with us. The whole day, andito lang s'ya. May plano pa sana silang umalis kaso sabi ni Ate Apian, she was having fun. Talagang ateng-ate na namin s'ya. At kahit s'ya yung bisita, s'ya pa yung naghanda ng pagkain. What I like most about her is that she gets along really well with Uji. Ako kasi, one of my requirements sa aking husband-to-be ay dapat tanggap n'ya si Uji. Uji is autistic kasi. Insomniac pa so he sleeps tuwing morning. Kahapon nga, di namin mapatulog. Buti pa s'ya, nagawa n'ya.

Since bumming aroudn ang drama naming magkakapatid kahapon, I saw Tasnim and Tajannah, the real board game-addicts in the family, doing this:

Me: Ano'ng ginagawa n'yo?
Tasnim: Pataasan ng ganito.
Me: Sino namang nagdala ng ganyang laro dito.
Tajannah: Si Ate Tasnim.
Me: Sa'n mo naman natutunan 'yan?
Tasnim: Kay Hisham.

Okay. Pakialamero talaga akong ate.

Long over due post

April 20

At dahil wala ako sa aming beloved bahay, tina-type ko tong entry na ito sa computer dito sa boarding house. Since nababasa mo na ‘to, ibig sabihin, nailipat ko na sa blog.

Haay…first week ng klase, inuulan ako ng malas. Biruin mo ba naman, yung cellphone ko, wala na. Akala ko nung una, na-misplace ko lang. Nung Wednesday ko na-discover na wala na sa bag ko. Grrr talaga! Kala ko pa naman, naiwan ko sa lib. Kaso, kinabukasan, Thursday, nung iche-check ko na yung ID ko paglabas ng bahay, may nakita ako sa bag ko na butas. Galing no? Instant design! Mangunguha na lang ng cellphone, maninira pa ng bag. Hinala namin, nung nasa jeep ako, saka s’ya nakuha. Kasi ba naman, imbes na Ikot lang yung sakyan namin, SM North jeep yung pinara namin. So baka sa jeep s’ya nawala.

Yun nga, that’s right, wala na akong cellphone. Sayang yung SIM card. Yun pa naman ang kauna-unahan ko. Ganda pa ng pattern nung number eh. 09193245687. Lahat ng numbers, nagamit from 0-9. Tapos, pag dinial pa s’ya, pa-letter S. At gaya ng ibang nawalan ng cellphone, ang pinakapinanghihinayangan ko, yung contacts. Buti pala, nagbura ako ng pictures last,last month. Baka kasi pag-pyestahan yung pictures ko eh. (Tagoinks! Asa ka pa!)

S’ya nga pala, dahil may pagka-reyna chikadora ako, naikwento ko na sa lahat ang insidenteng yan. At may na-discover ako, di lang pala ako yung nawalan nung Wednesday. Kaninang umaga, (Thursday ko to tina-type), may nakausap kami ni Cathe na freshie. Nawala rin daw yung cellphone n’ya kahapon. Si Faith naman, nakita namin nung lunch. Nawalan s’ya ng 100 peysos kahapon din. Pati nga si Ate Au, yung taga-dito sa boarding house, nawalan ng 300 peysos eh (hulaan nyo kung kelan). Ano bang meron sa April 19?

Additional kamalasan: Nung nagta-type ako kanina, napindot ko yung “Power” sa keyboard. Kung bakit ba naman kasi katabi ng “Delete” eh.

Nakasaksak nga pala yung MP4 nito sa computer. So yun na nga, nung napindot ko yung Power, malamang, namatay yung PC. Pagbukas ko, chenen! Wala nang music files sa MP4. Haay…back to scratch na naman ako sa pagda-download nito!

Pinakamatinding kamalasan: Na excite pa naman ako sa Summer kasi akala ko CWTS “lang”. Ayun pala, yung nila-“lang” ko, mas matindi pa sa majors. Biruin mo yun, pagkalaki-laking area, ido-document namin. From College of Music to Law yung na-assign samin. Imagine-in mo yung napakahabang stretch na yun. Ganito, magre-research ka tungkol sa area na na-assign sa’yo. Tapos, dapat kasama dun yung history. Baka bukas, pumunta kaming National Archives para lang makakuha ng infos. Para kasing di reliable ang internet pagdating sa ganitong mga bagay eh. Ayun nga, after mag-research, picture-picture. Kala ko, ito, madali na. Yun pala, kailangan pa na makakuha ng lumang pictures. Yung mga black and white pa. after nun, yung pinakamalala. Susukatin namin yung buong stretch na yun at dapat accurate ang pagkaka-plot ng puno. Kung di ka nga naman magkulay-uling sa tindi ng sikat ng araw ngayong summer. Sabi ko nga, di sunbathing ang tawag dito eh, sun-baking. Leave until golden brown!

Dahil humahagilap kami ng pictures na luma, napunta kami sa Main Lib. Naghanap ng lumang mga Kule (Philippine Collegian—yug school paper). Anyway, dahil nga sa sobrang luma, naka-microfilm na daw yun. Nung tumitingin kami ng microfilm, feeling ko, ako si Robert Langdon (nagbabasa kasi ako ng Angels and Demons ngayon eh—tangerks no? Ngayon lang binasa). Ito nga pala yung itsura ng viewer ng microfilm.

Kamay ni Cathe yan habang binabagtas namin ang unang panahon. 1934 pa yata tong edition na ‘to.

Jan-jan-jan-jan…Ang logo ng Kule!

May bayad pala yung Kule dati. 8 pages, 5 centavos

Ito talaga yung article na parang na-overwhelm ako. Di ko malaman yung feeling! Si Quirino (as in President Elpidio Quirino na Senator nung panahong yan) at Si Jorge Vargas (as in Vargas Museum. Undersecretary pa s’ya nito), naglalaban para maging UP President. Si Jorge Bocobo yata nanalo nito eh (Bocobo Hall-Law Center. Dean s’ya ng local College of Law nun). Candidate din si Dean Francisco Benitez (Benitez Hall). Bigatin na mga people! Now, who wouldn’t be proud to be here? (Talia, be humble!)

Oh di ba, in the not so distant pass, tinaob ng UP ang FEU sa basketball!

Ilan sa mga advertisements sa Kule noon (sosyal! Uma-advertisement pala dati ang Kule!)

Meron na pala nito dati pa? Perfumed Depilatory Cream.

Di ko na-picture-an yung Camay eh. Ang tagal-tagal na pala talaga nun. Tsaka yung Chesterfield yata yun! Basta, yung sigarilyo!

Ayan ang napakahabang entry. Kung nagbabasa ka pa rin hanggang ngayon, saludo ako sa’yo. Sige, tuloy lang! Basa lang nga basa! Ano? Andito ka pa rin? Tindi mo! Sige, alis na ko!

April 24

Feeling ko lang, kulang sa pictures ang blog ko. So, fine, I'll try to put more pictures here.

Haay... the realizations...

___________________________

Whaa! Naiinis ako sa araw na 'to. Imagine waking up with colds and cough. Talia, summer ngayon!

Anyway, pati naman si Cathe may sipon. So maybe we're spreading the virus. Yikes! Baka di kayo

lumapit sa'kin ngayon! Dagdagan mo pa ng sakit ng ngipin.

Oo nga pala, sabi ni Cathe (um-attend s'ya ng graduation ng arki.Natatanging mag-aaral kasi.

Congrats!), naka-Filipiniana attire daw ang arki graduates. Sana ganun din pag samin! Kung ganun,

di ko na puproblemahin ang aking conservative attire.

___________________________

Ano ba yan, wala naman akong maikwento ngayon. Isip muna ako, okay? :)

___________________________

May naisip na 'ko! Nanood ako ng PBB Teen Edition kagabi. Yung pinapakilala pa lang yung

housemates. Napansin ko lang, puro may good looks yung mga pinili nila. Ibig bang sabihin n'yan,

pwede din ako d'yan? Tagoinks!

___________________________

Ang galing! May na-diskubre ako sa MP4 ko.

O di ba, pwede pala akong mag-view ng Word Document. Oo na, chepetiks nga s'ya pero mahal ko pa rin

tong chipipay na 'to. Yun nga lang, sa notepad dapat s'ya i-save para ma-view. Galing galing!

April 25

Wow! This is my happiest CWTS day. It's like the first lunch I had with my blockmates.

It's not like we're complete but at least a lot of them were able to be there.

We ate at Jolibbe-Philcoa. Kenneth and Juli, my groupmates in CWTS, joined us also. Grabe, it's so

nakakahiya cause we were laughing really hard. I was telling Dennen that my eyes are singkit

already. I thought I had big eyes and then all of a sudden, I'm like a chinita because of laughing?

I bet I look hilarious! Up to now, I can't get over my being crazy.

_________________________

When I'm with my blockmates, especially Dennen (See, Dennen, I mentioned you here pa. You should

like be proud!), I transform into this really laitera girl. I know, I know, I'm not perfect but oh

well. And guess what we have been talking about? The PBB Teen Edition! Mikki, that girl who

claims to be orig, well, I just don't find her orig at all. I mean, what is unique in her?

Plus she looks like Winnie Cordero. I'm not saying it's bad but I think PBB people has this

problem in putting slogan or whatever you call it in their participants. I mean, teenstar wannabee

creates this negative effect on a person. I never want to be called a wannabee.

_________________________

Grabe! Hirap na hirap naman akong mag-type na parang coño. Pero anyway, I had fun. It's like I

might want to try jologs lingo the next time. Ano? Gus2 nu b try q nmn un?

Yuck! Landi!

_________________________

Madagdag ko lang, bakit gusto ni Niña na "mixed" na lang yung sleeping arrangement? As in girls

plus boys. Whatever! :)

April 27

The Attack of Conyotics

Gawd! I think karma hit me today! I was at the computer shop and I was beside those maiingay conyotic girls. Can't relate? Well, I know you don't get what I mean. Basta, usually, they are those high school girls who are like speaking this way and whose hobby is b*tching. Ah basta, I hate them. They're like so maiiingay! Whatever! I think I should stop writing this way.

______________________________

Crazy people again! I was laughing really hard again because of my groupmates in CWTS. We were like gagas already cause even in the littlest of things, we can find something to laugh about. And what stuck in my mind is the Juli-Kenneth-Cathe challenge a.k.a. the BEAM challenge. Here it goes:

Try to sing BEAM jingle sadly. As in B-E-A-M means smile. Haha! Bet you can’t do that too!

Di ako makatulog ngayon. Halos whole day kasi akong tulog kasi masakit t'yan ko. Pero, nakainom na ko ng Midol so baka maya-maya, okay na 'to. Usually naman, di ko to nafi-feel. Abnormal lang siguro talaga tong araw na to. Pasensya na sa ibang di maka-relate.

____________________
Ewan ko ba, naalala ko lang si Gabe Mercado. Kilala n'yo yun? Si 'okay ka ba t'yan?' Yung sa Yakult commercial? Nakita ko sya sa TV ngayon. *parang friendster tong pagkaka-connect-connect nitong story na 'to* Tapos, naalala ko yung classmate namin sa LA25. Si Kuya Rico (tama ba?) Tawa lang ako ng tawa tuwing naaalala ko s'ya. Ah basta, andami-dami n'yang funny moments sa klase. Tapos, nung last day ng klase, exam nun, nagre-review kami. Eh narinig n'ya yata na favorite ng isa naming classmate si Xtian Bautista (again, spelled that way for google-search-safety). Naabutan n'ya pala nung estudyante pa si Xtian sa arki (landscape arki rin kasi course nun). So sabi n'ya, "gusto n'yo tawagan natin? Kami naman, speechless pero we're nodding. So sya, di-nial na n'ya yung number. Eh kaso, nagre-review si Kuya Rico so sabi n'ya, kami na lang daw kumausap. Imagine-in n'yo na lang na nagpapasa-pasahan kami ng telepono na para bang bomba yun. Narinig ng isa samin na nagri-ring (si Lique yata 'to). Nagulat ako sa reaction ng apat kong blockmates (si Dennen, Ayit, Cathe at Lique). Nagtilian sila at sabay na sabay yung pagtalon. Pramis! Parang choreographed. Kaso, dumating na si Ma'am Bing kaya naputol yung pagri-ring ng phone.

Si kuya Rico yung naka-brown tapos may ID. Di ba kamukha n'ya talaga si okay ka ba t'yan?:)

S'ya nga pala, nung tapos na yung exam, may nag-text kay Kuya Rico. "Rics, why did you call? :)" Whoo!!!!!!!

Yehey!Walang pasok bukas!

Saturday na. Hmmm...bukas, uuwi na kong boarding house. Whaa! Pasukan na naman. Ayoko na! 6 am, I have to be awake. To think, CWTS lang tong subject na 'to.

_________________________

Sa wakas, naayos na ang TV. Ang boring kahapon! Konti na nga lang kami dito sa bahay, wala pang TV. Alas-otso tuloy, nakatulog na mga tao. Pero come to think of it, kung walang TV, wala ring eyebags, di ba? Gumising na lang kami nung dumating yung mga galing Pampanga. Inggit ako. Saw their pictures. Magic Sing all the way ang drama nila. Gusto ko rin tuloy magkaroon na ng Wet Set dito sa buhay. Haay, summer. Either you love it or you hate it.

Survey

2006-04-14T03:13:00.000-07:00

Do you smoke?
*** hala! Ayoko pa mamatay no.

How many cups of coffee are you capable of
drinking in a day?
*** isa siguro. Pag nga nakaubos akong isang tasa, parang butas na tiyan ko sa sakit eh.

Ever laughed even though there’s nothing really
funny?
*** baliw-baliwan? Ako pa?

Ever cried when there’s nothing really worth
crying about?
*** oo naman! Naiiyak ako pag nanonood ng Extreme Makeover. "Bakit ang bilis nila gumawa ng bahay? Huhuhu..." Sige na nga, seryoso, nakakatouch lang pag yung tipong nanginginig na yung laman ng mga may-ari ng bahay pag nakita nila yung transformation ng bahay.

Ever tried “magwala”?
*** ano ko hayop?

Have you ever gone to your morning class not
having washed your face?
*** Ambaboy! Wag ganun!

How about gone to class completely clueless
that you have an exam?
*** Hindi naman. Alam mong may exam pero di ka nag-aral kasi confident kang kayang-kaya mo. Pagdating dun, maluha-luha ka na kasi kahit open notes, walang tinuro yung prof na ganun. Ang nakakatawa dun, uno ako sa subject na yun. Sabi sa inyo, kunin n'yo si Caguisano sa philo eh.

Do you still sleep eventhough you have a
school paper due the next day?
*** Sa arki kasi, di madalas magpa-papers ang prof. Pero sa GE, usually, 3 pages maximum lang. Di kailangan ng puyatan. Sa plates, dun ka wag matulog!

Nautangan ka na ba ng hindi pa nababayaran
hanggang ngayon?
***di talaga ako magaling maningil ng utang. Kaya ayaw na ayaw kong nagpapalawal (natutunan ko tong term na to kay Ralph at Dennen) eh.

May nakapagsabi na ba say'o na masungit ka?
***Di ko alam. Siguro. Pero kebs lang! Kasi pag may nagsasabi ng ganun, ang nai-imagine ko parang nagpapa-cute lang eh. Yung nakaka-badtrip na pagpapa-cute. "Miss, ang sungit mo!" Grrr...kagatan na lang!

What did you say? (in response to the previous
question?)
**Ay, suntukan tayo! wala akong panahon sayo!
.
Who is the most important person in your life
right now?
*** mga magulang ko.

What was the most painful thing you’ve
caused another person?
*** sa dami nun, gusto mong i-enumerate ko?

How can you say you love a person?
*** hala! baduyan blues?

Can you afford to love two people at the same
time?
*** oo naman! Inay at itay (pilosopohan?)

Would you fight for the one you love, or would
you let him go?
*** figt-fight ka dyan? Ba't kailangan ng away? Baduy talaga ng sarbi na to!

Which is harder, tell a friend you love him/her or
just hide it?
*** ay, malay ko sayo!

Bored

2006-04-14T02:37:00.000-07:00

Ayun, pasukan na sa Lunes pero di pa rin ako nakakapagbakasyon. Kung minamalas ka nga naman talaga. Everybody's in Pampanga. At ako? Haay...stay at home.

Pero, well, buti na lang di ako sumama. For the first time in my life, nakagawa ako ng sarili kong template. Mukhang pang-amateur pero pwede na. Wala kasing Photoshop dito sa bahay eh. Buti pa sa boarding house meron.

________________________

Speaking of boarding house, napag-isip-isip ko lang, mahihirapan pala ako na mag-commute araw-raw kung u to 3 yung pasok. Alangan namang summer na summer eh gumising ako ng alas-5. Tapos 6:30, alis na kong Taguig. Baka makatulog ako sa MRT nun. Anyway, makakapag-edit pa ko kung nandun ak osa boarding house kasi dun may Photoshop nga. Hirap kaya ng ginawa ko kanina kasi yung Frontpage nasa laptop tapos yung Publisher (kung saan ko in-edit yung background), nandito sa computer. Palipat-lipat ako nun! Hirap kaya nun!

Ayun, tapos na ang epal na time-consuming summer registration. 8 am to 3 pm yung CWTS class ko. Makaya ko kayang mag-commute na lang from Taguig to Quezon City araw-araw? Ayoko na kasing mag-boarding house muna. CWTS lang naman, eh. Pero well, ita-try ko ng one week. Pag di kaya, e di boarding house uli!

Ilang beses sa isang araw kong chini check yung grade ko sa SocSci pero di pa rin dumadating. Whaa! Pumasa lang ako masaya na ko. Mga sampung beses yata per day ang bisita ko sa CRS. Kainis!

Head and Shoulders commercial

2006-04-06T01:39:00.000-07:00

Nyek, ang KJ naman ng Head and Shoulders. Bakit nila in-edit yung commercial ni Angel Locsin. Yung "Get the Pawer". Yup, malamya yung pagkakasabi ng power. At hindi power yung sinabi nya. Pawer. As in P-A-W-E-R. Flat na flat. Panget!

Kaso, wala na kaming mapagtawanan ng ate ko kasi nabago na yun. Power with great firmness na yung pagkakasabi nya. Kainis naman!

Hehe...evil na naman ako.

Kalokang exam

2006-04-04T08:38:00.000-07:00

Just can't get over that exam in LA25! Grabe yung every sentence mo eh scientific name ang ginagamit. Pati mga kapatid ko, nahahawa!

"Ate Talia, paabot naman ng Carica papaya"

"Gusto mo ba ng Mangifera indica?"

"Ano? Inubos mo yung Vitis vinifera?"

"Merong Manilkara zapota d'yan sa ref, baka gusto mo"

"Ayan, taga-UP kana, marami ka nang makikitang Samanea saman!"

Hehe...
siguro nga, dapat itigil ko na 'tong kalokohan na to. Tinatawag na akong nerd ng ate ko.

Tutal, acads stuff naman ang pinag-uusapan, sometime last week, nagkaroon kami ng last field work for GE11. Nabwisit lang talaga ako sa isa kong groupmate. Kung nababasa mo to at natamaan ka, manigas ka! As if namang I have no right na mapagod! Di porke kayo lang ang nagbabasa ng transit, wala na akong karapatang mapagod, di ba? Eh, hello!?! Naglalakad din naman ako eh. At may guts pa sya na magtanong kung mahirap ba talaga maging LA! Parang pinapamukha n'ya na porke Arki s'ya eh mas magaling na s'ya. Kainis! Di porke five-year course ang kinuha mo, you're so great na! Kainis talaga!

_________________________________

At dahil niri-renovate ang bahay, I'm getting used to sleeping in the living room, na as of this moment eh talaga namang magulo. Unti-unti nang nababawasan ang living space dito. Una, yung kwarto naming mga babae at kwarto ni Kuya. Sumunod ang play room-slash-office. Nung nawalan kami ng kwarto, sa maid's room ako natutulog pero nung sirain na rin yun at sa kusina na natutulog ang mga kasambahay namin, sa sala na ako natutulog habang ang buong pamilya eh sa master's bedroom nag-i-stay. Di ko talaga kayang matulog sa may aircon. Allergic rhinitis siguro. Madali akong sipunin.

At kung magawi kayo sa bahay at medyo napansin n'yong magulo, haay...kung saan saan nakatambak ang mga gamit na dating nakalagay sa demolished rooms. Wala tuloy akong magawa dahil nai-box na lahat ng libro dito. Tsk tsk...sana matapos na 'to! Very excited!

last day

2006-03-30T06:46:00.000-08:00

Oo nga pala, at dahil nai-upload na ni Dennen ang pics sa photobucket, I just want to say goodbye to my classmates sa LA25 (that subject which made me memorize scientific names--Cocos nucifera, Ophiopogon jaburan, etc. became commonly-used-words in our block). Nag-final exam kami kanina at sobra naman talagang saya! With matching turu-turo pa around UP si Ma'am Bing and you must be able to identify the common name at scientific name ng plants. Anyway, ito yung isa sa mga klase namin na ginanap sa Bonsai Garden.

At after ng exam nga (which marks my last day of second semester 2005-2006) nilibre kami ni Cathe at Ralph dahil birthday nila ngayong Marso. Hehe...some pics.

Nginig...

Cam addicts...(Ayit and Talia)

Ayun lang. Sa friendster na lang siguro yung iba. Okay?:)

time out

2006-03-30T06:06:00.000-08:00

Grabe yun! Matagal-tagal din pala akong di nakapag-post dito. Promise, bukas na yung pics. Medyo groggy pa ko after that exam. Dapat talaga, di na ko nag-review.

Pfft!

Masaya 'to!

18

2006-03-03T18:03:00.000-08:00

Yebah! You're now reading the blog of a woman. Yep, yep, just to go with the flow, I now consider myself a woman (considering I celebrated my 18th year in this world last Thursday). A lot of greetings came but what I personally love would have to be the pessimistic greeting of my weird blockmate Conrad "Happy One year less of your life in this world!" or something to that effect. But I have to say he's right.

Days before Thursday, I kept telling my blockmates to greet me at the eve of my birthday. I kept pestering them with questions about their surprise for me the following day. Wait nga, di naman ibig sabihin pag dalaga ka na, mag i english ka, di ba? Talia, magpakatotoo ka! (raises her magic wand) Ayan, Tagalog na nga lang para mas dama. Mar 1, 11:30 pm, nag-aaral ako ng PE1 kasi exam the next day. I was also waiting for the text messages to come. Kaso, maya-maya, nakatulog ako. Mga 4, gumising ulit ako. 13 messages received! There! Dumating na ang greetings ng blockmates ko at ng mga napag-utusan kong i-greet ako. Hehe...nakatulugan ko pala ang alas-dose. Antukin talaga ako.

Ayun, usual lang naman yung araw. Pumasok ako sa lahat ng subjects ko kaso parang wala pang bakas ng surprise mula sa mga blockmate ko. Nung lunch, teka, bakit parang wala akong kasabay kumain? Di ko na tinext sila Dennen. May report daw sila sa Kas1. Okay lang kasi magre-review pa naman ako. Fast forward to LA25, wala daw class sa Arki dahil General Assembly for the PP1017 issue. Ayun, tinuloy ko na lang ang di tapos na plate. Maya-maya, dumating si Dennen. As usual, nagpapasama sa CR. Eh, hindi naman ako nasi CR kaso pinipilit n'ya ako. Di ko talaga alam na part yun ng plan kasi nga talaga namang pag nasi-CR si Dennen, sakin yun nagpapasama eh. Nung nandun na kami, nasa harap lang s'ya ng salamin. Sabi ko tuloy, "kala ko ba, nasi-CR ka?" Sabi n'ya, ay, oo nga pala. So, pasok siya sa cubicle. Stupid ko naman, di ko pa rin nahalata yun! Sumigaw ako, "Dennen, dito lang ako sa labas, ha!" Nag-panic na pala s'ya nun kasi inaayos nila Cathe yung mga pang-surprise. Haha! Nagte-text lang pala siya sa cubicle. Haha! At kaya pala nila pinapadala yung cam ko. Walang dalang cam ni isa sa kanila.

Ayun, maraming surprise. Natutuwa ako sa creativeness ng mga bagay-bagay. Tapos, may bouquet of flowers pa. Haha...dalaga na talaga ako. Lahat yun, effort ng blockmates ko. Tinakbo pa raw nila Dennen, Cathe at Lique ang SM North para sa bulaklak. Si Mama pa yung naghanap ng vase for that. That night, umuwi ako sa Taguig para sa kainan. Haay...sarap ng feeling!

Teka, tinatamad ako ha. Pero pag sinipag ako, I'll post pics tsaka yung thank you's na rin sa mga bumati. Okay? :)

________________________

Eto na, eto na...

Salamat sa mga magulang ko na lumipad patungo dito para sa aking kaarawan. Presenting, the Lovers in Rome :)

Ang blockmates ko na walang humpay sa pagbibigay ng surprises--ang natatanging blockA32004. (Ang aking attempt na i-draw ang mga taong ito)

Mga kapatid ko, high school friends, JAYNET, college friends, MSA people, at marami pang iba. Thanks!

Dahil nasa kuya ko pa ang cam ko, sa susunod na yung pictures na iba. (Installment ito!)

Confessions of a proud Ate :)

2006-03-01T00:14:00.000-08:00

Kahapon, walang class sa isa kong major subject dahil nga may meeting ang UP profs about their stand on the PP1017 issue. Anyway, bawal manghuli ng mga nagra-rally sa loob ng UP. That's freedom for you, guys.

___________________

Sinamantala ko na ang pagkakataon na pumunta kahapon sa Office of Admissions dahil walang klase. Last day kasi ng Feb, ilalabas na ang UPCAT results at ayun nga, dahil Feb 28 kahapon, sadya namang napakaraming tao doon. Nag-exam kasi yung kapatid ko. Yep, si Tasnim. And since this weekend, I was calling her Tue (pronounced choo) kasi nga Tuesday yung release ng results. I am constantly making sounds na para bang nababahin ako (a-choo! gets?). In retaliation, tinatawag n'ya akong Ate Thur dahil Thursday ang birthday ko. Ka-corny-han lang talaga. Pero anyway, ayun nga, diretso ako sa boards para hanapin yung name n'ya kaso, "teka, nakalampas na sa B-A-S, wala pang Basman". Talagang inulit-ulit ko pa. Wala talaga. Tapos parang nagtaka na ako. Konti lang yung tao na tumitingin sa board na yun. Halos lahat, nasa ibang board. Pagtingin ko sa baba, may note na parang hindi daw guaranteed na may slots yung mga nakalista dun. Nagtaka na ako. Pagtingin ko sa taas, ang laki-laki ng nakasulat na PENDING CASE. Kaya lipat ako dun sa A-C. Gotcha!

Basman Anna Tasnim Sumande Diliman CSSP

Wow! Nadagdagan na naman kami dito sa school na 'to. Galing talaga! Tinext ko kagad kaso after 5 minutes, walang reply. Eh, hello! Alam kong nakabantay s'ya sa phone n'ya dahil nung umaga pa lang, nag-aasaran na kami sa text. Tinawagan ko na lang. Di n'ya daw pala binabasa yung mga message sa phone n'ya dahil nga kinakabahan s'ya. Di pa pumasok sa school dahil alam n'ya daw na whatever happens eh maiiyak s'ya sa resulta. Sobrang proud ko talaga sa kanya nung time na yun. Ako pa mismo nagkalat sa buong angkan namin na nakapasa s'ya. Haay...Tasnim, coungratulations! Ate Thur is really proud of you:)

Tunay na talaga to.

2006-02-26T23:03:00.000-08:00

Walang halong biro. With what's happening in this country, babaguhin ko yung wishlist ko. Buburahin ko na lahat at ang ititira ko lang yung last item. Di maganda ang nangyayari sa Pilipinas ngayon!

2006-02-26T22:08:00.000-08:00

Sa dinami-dami ng panahon, ngayon pa nangyayari ito sa bansa natin. Haay...and to make a sacrifice, I will not celebrate my birthday this year hangga't di nagbabago ang mga pangyayari sa kapaligiran. Hangga't di natitigil ang pseudo martial law (a term coined by Aiza Gaufo) sa bansang ito. Malungkot, oo. Pero what can I do? Alangan namang nagsusumigaw ang bansa natin tapos nagse celebrate ako, di ba? Kaya I've made up my mind. No debut for you, Talia unless the situation stops. Haay...lungkot. That's the least I can do for this country.

Nagbabalik-nagbabalik...

2006-02-24T20:42:00.000-08:00

Eto na, eto na. This time mabait na talaga ako. Tatanggalin ko yung pics para medyo kind ang dating. *evil grin*

Parang nawiwili yata akong maglagay ng messages dito. Masuyod nga yung friendster messages ko for more. Wait ha...

Are you stupid or what?

2006-02-24T20:31:00.000-08:00

Nagbabalik na naman ang aking panlalait sa mundong ibabaw. Syempre, gusto ko kayong muling patawanin. Kaninang umaga kasi, ka-YM ko si Joana, isang high school classmate. Sabi n'ya, myspace daw ang lagi nyang gamit. So ako naman, si inggitera, pinuntahan ang aking myspace account at naglagay ng kung anu ano. So ayun, maya-maya, may e-mail akong natanggap. Aba naman! May message ako sa myspace. Eto yun...

Kumusta ka na, Talia?

2006-02-24T20:11:00.000-08:00

Haay...sa ngayon, wala pa rin akong plano para sa aking kaarawan. Ayoko na sa SM Manila. Sorry, blockmates, inconvenient na, mahal pa pamasahe. Tasnim, Intramuros? Di ba gagabihin tayo kung doon? Haay talaga, any suggestions? Pag ako blangko pa rin hanggang Thursday, siguro mag e SM North na lang kami. :(

punched hard. can't take it.

2006-02-18T05:42:00.000-08:00

Kainis talaga. Ang feeling. Nakakainis.

Grrr....

Whaaa! Wala akong mapagsabihan ng sama ng loob.

At natatakot ako na mabasa n'ya 'to.

Pero anyway, s'ya na mismo nagsabi nung binigay ko sa kanya yung site na 'to, "naku, talia, sorry ha, baka kasi wala akong time na tignan 'yan."

Whaa! Ayoko na. Rejection to the highest level. Parang slap on the face.It's not as if I'm always waiting here, di ba? Suggestion lang naman yun. Bilang isang dating friend. Para nga updated ka sa nangyayari sakin. Ayun lang naman.

Ah basta, no one would understand me.

Magbi-birthday pa naman ako.

*tagoinks*

Sorry ha, di ko talaga kayang maging serious for a long time eh.

Pero eto serious, galit talaga ako.

wishlist

2006-02-18T00:53:00.000-08:00

Dahil malapit na ang debut ko at pinaalala ni Dennen na gumawa ako ng wishlist, here I am.

Sorry guys, materialistic si ganda eh. ;P

Pakapalan na ng mukha. Aba'y blog ko naman to eh.

1. Arki things

-kurecolor markers. Lots of them. Contact me kung anong kulay yung wala pa ko.

-adjustable triangle. sabi ng prof ko, libo raw to eh. So I think I would just have to keep on dreaming.

-drawing table. Preferably yung A0 type para kasya na lahat.

-tool box. Yung maraming marami talaga yung mailalagay ha.

2. Dangling earrings. Eto lang naman ang obsession ko sa buhay ko eh. Pagbigyan na!

3. Memory card para sa digicam. Ask me for details. Kumusta naman kasi yung 4 months old na yung camera ko, umaasa pa rin sa internal memory di ba?

4. Flash disk. Lagi na lang akong nagsasayang ng blank cd for the pictures I need. Mas okay kung may mp3 na para dual purpose di ba?

5. Radio slash pillow. Basta nakita ko to sa Watson's eh.

6. VCD copy ng All MyLife o kaya Kung Ako Na Lang Sana. Oo na, inaamin ko, isa akong jologs. Kanya-kanyang hilig yan!

7. At lastly, world peace. Tunay to ha. Walang drama. Mas masaya talaga ang mundo kung peaceful, di ba? ;)

Papansin na kung papansin

2006-02-17T01:57:00.001-08:00

Oo na. Blockmates ko nagsasabi nun. Pati na mga magulang ko kahit di nila sinasabi, alam ko nafi-feel nila yun. O e anong magagawa ko, taon taon na lang nangyayari to. At taon taon, ginagawa ko to.

Pansinin n'yo na ko. Debut ko na sa March 2.

And I'm expecting a lot.

Hehe...joke lang!

(Although surprising me may not hurt. Promise!)

Sana may mangyaring maganda. *crosses fingers* Haay*sighs*...

another one...

2006-02-13T23:15:00.000-08:00

Salamat naman, after losing my wallet last Thursday eh napalitan ko kaagad yung ATM ko. Although wala na yung naka-engrave na pangalan kasi nga replacement card lang. At in fairness, mahirap magpunta sa law after mong mawala-wala para lang magpagawa ng affidavit of loss. It cost me a hundred pesos plus one hundred pa uli para sa new ATM. At least natapos ko lahat siya in a day.

Pinagalitan pa ako ng lahat ng nakaalam kasi dapat daw, kung Thursday nawala eh ni-report kagad. Anong magagawa ko eh Monday lang yung vacant ko. Di ko na naabutan yung bangko nung Friday dahil sa model na tinapos namin. Tanggap ko na yung pagkawala nung wallet eh. Pero on the second thought, andun yung movie ticket ko nung pinanood namin yung All My Life. Tsaka yung resibo nung 17th birthday ko. Tapos yung logo pa na ginawa ko para sa...secret!

Hahaha...there goes my kabangagan.

*********

Anyway, kaninang umaga, pagkaligo ko, napansin ko na lang na naka-red ako. Kasi pag gumigising ako sa umaga, wala pang ilaw, so ang sinusuot ko eh kung anumang madampot ko. Nung nagsusuklay na ko, nakita ko na lang sa reflection ko sa salamin na red shirt pala ang nadampot ko. Valentines' Day kung Valentines' Day.

Pagbaba ko ng kwarto, sabi ni Ate Fe (taga-boarding house), "uy, Talia, bakit, naghahanap ka ba?". Si Tita Belle naman, paglabas ko ng bahay, ang sabi, "Maaga uwian mo ngayon, di ba?"

Haha...as if namang makikipag-date ako ngayon, di ba? Takot ko lang!

Daydreaming

2006-01-28T07:50:00.000-08:00

Doodles na wa kwents

Paalam

2006-01-27T18:12:00.000-08:00

Nung isang linggo lang, pinilit ko ang tatay ko na ilipat ang radio sa FM dahil sawa na ko sa pinapakinggan namin ng gabing yun.

Buti na lang, di n'ya ginawa.

Kailanma'y di ko na muli pang maririnig ang boses na yun.

Paalam, Ka Ernie.

Ba-bye!

2006-01-15T17:50:00.000-08:00

Hala ka, my bad. Di talaga ako dapat nagba blog ng saloobin ko. Sorry, Nica, di na mauulit. Masyado yatang bitter ang pagkakasulat ko. O sadya yatang bitter ako ng panahong yun.

On the other hand, marami akong friends naman na tinotopak lang talaga minsan. Sige na, sige na, whaa! Mali talaga ako. Di na ko ulit magsusulat ng hatred. Marami palang nakakabasa.

+++++++++

Haay...after going to the 4th floor ng AS, nalaman kong wala palang pasok. So baba ako, kain ng breakfast sa CASAA. 10 am naman, klase sa Philo 11. Balik ng 4th floor. Pagkita sa board, wala ring pasok. Baba uli tapos puntang net cafe. Badtrip, akyat baba sa 4th floor. Buti na lang I'm undergoing Operation BIO, exercise din to no!

2006-01-13T20:28:00.000-08:00

Napagtripan ko lang i-google yung pangalan ko dahil sa naghihintay ako na ma-upload yung pics ko nang biglang makita ko na sa isang entrance exam na kinuha ko pang...pang...9 pala ako. Wala lang, after two years ko pa nalaman. Kumusta naman yun? Well, I know it's nothing compared to being an oble scholar pero it's worth knowing naman, di ba?

************

Anyway, if there's something you should and you could not joke about in front of me, it's my being a Muslim. What's wrong with that? Never, I mean, never make pirated DVDs and VCDs synonymous to a Muslim or to Islam. It's like terrorism. Not proper to be compared to us. Because mind you, baka nga mas marami pa kong napanood na movies sa moviehouse kesa sa inyo eh. Atsaka, if there's something na pinasasalamatan ko ng malaki being a minority in this country, it's my being open-minded. I've had a lot of experiences joining interfaith groups. Our life, thanks to my parents, have been sort of successful because of that. Now, if I would ask you, have you in your life been in close contact to people of different faiths and actually be friends with them? Like Buddhists, Hare Krishna people, Catholics, Protestants, Jewish, etc? My parents have been to late Cardinal Sin's Villa San Miguel and he allowed then to pray Maghrib (the ones prayed during sunset) there. I mean, if the highest ranking church official in this country can be that kind to Muslims, eh ba't yung iba di magawa?

Kasi naman, hindi talaga maganda yung mandi-discriminate ka. I've a lot of friends, close friends pa, na sadya namang walang kasing insensitive. I respect your religion. The least you can do is respect mine as well. Haay...the problem in this world is terrorism and the narrow-minded people scattered in this place.

Peace, man!

(by the way, that's what Islam means)

Operation: BIO

2006-01-06T08:55:00.000-08:00

Dahil katatapos lang ng taon, may naisip ako. Bakit di kaya ako mag-New Year's resolution. Bakit nga ba hindi? I would call it Operation BIO. To know what BIO means, PM n'yo ko. Hehe...

Happy (?) New Year

2005-12-30T19:41:00.000-08:00

Before I start this, gusto ko munang i-greet ang lahat ng isang

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ayun, so I'll be spending this year happily pala. Di naman sa masyado na kong dependent sa cellphone pero when I discovered na nawawala iyon, I almost freaked out. Magbabagong taon, wala akong telepono? Pano na yugn mga greetings sakin?

Well, after 9 hours ng disappearing act ng aking cellphone, nagpakita rin sya sa kwarto ng kuya ko ng mga bandang ala-una ng umaga. New Year will be happy rin pala. Pagkakuha ko ng minamahal na telepono, aba...walang message. Well, that's what you get kung wala kang load buong bakasyon. Haay...nami-miss ko na ang pagbi-beep ng cellphone ko.

Anyway, since wala ako sa mood na mag-New Year's resolution o kaya mag-turn back time tungkol sa year that was, hanggang dito na lang.

My t-shirt's fame

2005-12-20T22:27:00.000-08:00

Nung tinawagan ko kanina si Cathe, sabi n'ya nasa Saksi daw yung Lantern Parade kagabi. Di ko man lang alam. At syempre, starring my...

blue whale na shirt.

Ano ba naman yan? T-shirt ko lang yung nakita. Konting usog na lang, mukha ko n yung kita nun. Katabi kasi namin si Howie Severino. Sa halos lahat nga ng pics na nakuha ko nun, kita si Howi Severino eh. I'll post his pic soon. Wehehe...still tinatamad.

Pagod na 'ko!

2005-12-19T23:09:00.000-08:00

Ayun...sa dami ng gagawin ko this Christmas break (which is not a break for me at all), naisulat ko na ang schedule ko hanggang dec.30. Let's leave Dec. 31 blank para naman makapag-celebrate ako ng New Year/Birthday ni Papa. Di na nga ako sasama sa bahay nila Lola kasi wala nang time para dun (yup, you read it right. Kaya sa mga kapatid ko, magdiwang na kayo!:).

Haay...Talia, may time ka pa bang huminga?

Bakasyon!

2005-12-18T00:51:00.000-08:00

Whew! Natapos din ang plate na malupet. Mahirap siyang gawin kasi, individual na. As in, walang groupmate. Sinanay kasi kami ng prof na mag-groupwork tapos biglang magpapa-individual work siya? Anyways. I'll post pictures soon pati na rin yung sa lantern parade. Para masaya naman!

Kakaibang bakasyon, madaming gawain. Ah, ewan! May isang essay test, isang esquisse, at isang exam. Whaa! Sana by next week, memorize ko na ang scientific names at nakapagbsa na ko ng pagkakapal-kapal na readings. May plates pa pala. Ayoko na!
