blond & blue eyes

clinched an interview with patricia evangelista. just when i least expected it! finally, a chance to meet a world class pinoy.

not that i'm so impressed with her speech (not after we dissected it in our socio 142 class under ms. sarah raymundo), but come on, admit it, any pinoy would be proud of her. winning the english speaking union contest is no easy feat, especially if you compete with some of the best speakers from different countries the world over. if that's not talent, i don't know what to call it.

anyway, i heard she's leaving for australia next week so i hope everything turns out just fine. sana ok din ung photoshoot so we don't have to do it again.

and by the way, she goes to church. am impressed.

clear ko lang: this is purely professional. nothing more, nothing less.

welcome assembly

freshie welcome assembly kanina. am just glad it went well. the audi was full most of d time, kala ko talaga di na mapupuno. and d orgs were eager enough to participate. may mga nagdonate pa ng food! sana ganito na forever para alang problema ang council.

some of d org presentations were really good so i'm assuming nag-enjoy ang mga freshies. benta rin ang mukhang fresh contest (yeah, we got to raise some funds there), thanks na rin sa kakwelahan ni ryan. for that, c ryan na ang host ng lahat ng activities ng council!

too bad i didn't see the yeba presentation (kate, pahiram cd). nag-iyakan daw sila. pero ang surprise of d day: pinalabas ng greenminds ung presentation namin sa induction. geesh, i didn't know they caught it on video. ang gago kaya namin dun! jerry+lawrence+jobert, song n dance number? pagpasensyahan niyo na, gutom lang talaga kami nung time na 'yun. wala kami sa aming mga sarili.

yahoo!

after five years of using yahoo mail, here comes redemption:

because you have been a loyal yahoo user, we're giving you 100MB storage and 10MB message size. Yahoo! what a blessing. galing, natuwa naman ako dun. when i checked my mail around lunchtime kanina, i was using 107% of 6.0MB limit. ngayon, 5% of 100.0MB limit. haha. keep it up yahoo.

chat

had a chat with mom today. finally, after some time. it's good to hear that she and dad are doing fine and that our cousins there couldn't be better off.

funny how chatting has made us even closer despite the physical distance. ironic, it would seem, that just when you're far apart, that's the only time you get to really talk things over and eat your heart out. maybe because chatting is non-confrontational, and you get to think twice before saying what you mean. (of course, there are some things i keep to myself...but i did promise them and i'm keeping my word.)

it's moments like these, right after bidding each other goodbye and closing that dialog box, that i realize i miss them. not that i didn't know that all along. it's just that when you get caught up in your acads and all your extracurricular stuffs, you barely have time to think about the people and the things you miss. suddenly, when i find myself doing nothing, that's when i remember, and it makes me sad. how i hate the feeling!

thank God i'm in up, where burying yourself to work is not an option--it is the only choice. and what are friends there for?

but i've learned another way to keep those sad thoughts at bay: smiling. yep, psych taught me that. when you're not feeling so good, smile and you'll feel better.

at least i did.

smile, an everlasting smile... corny

whattaday

clean-up day today at the cmc student council office. for three hours or more, i and my councilmates were busy dusting dirt off the cabinets, re-arranging the files, scrubbing the walls and mopping the floor. went around maskom looking like a madungis na basahan carrying a pail of water and the mop. geesh, did i sweat a lot! by the time we were done, nangangati na ko. it ain't easy being a janitor pala.

can't forget the look on the faces of everyone who saw me. haha. they were like, jobert, ikaw yan? anong nangyari sa'yo? i didn't mind though. i don't mind doing menial things if it's for the sake of the council, or any org/club/society/whatever, for that matter.

*

after changing and freshening up, i sat in ma'am carlos' feature writing class. we went to the lagoon and she made us sit for 7 minutes doing nothing. we were told to watch and look around. just that. but i couldn't keep my mind from wandering. there's just so many things to think about.

pero astig talaga si ma'am carlos. i think i might need the activity when i'm about to write something. talk about stillness of the mind. and letting your creative juices flow. (pano kung tuyo na?)

*

ended d day with a mass. they sang that song again. after months of missing it, there it was, that melody so haunting, nakakatindig-balahibo. not that it was scary. it was...i don't know. it just hit me right through. it never fails to make me pause and just listen to it.

neway, pizzafest after. never thought i'd survive dinner without eating rice but as it turned out, nakakabusog din naman pala pizza. it's not as if i haven't done it before. la lang. gusto ko lang isulat.

memory lane

my yahoo account's super full already. if i don't check it for, say, 2 days, it goes beyond the 6MB limit. i need not wonder though. 16 yahoo groups + another one i made just a while ago for sts class. 151 messages in my inbox, which, for some reason, i couldn't bring myself to delete.

i tried checking d really old ones. can't believe i haven't deleted plenty of forwarded messages, e-greeting cards, and a barrage of stupid mails such as one from cupidplanet.com which says: someone has a crush on you...

was surprised to see mushy stuffs too. lengthy letters from my ex, telling me about her day, with occasional parinig of tampo at selos na rin hehe. then there's one from d girl i met n baguio, really cheesy... and of course, messages from d one who got away. she hadn't been replying to my messages lately, tinamad na rin akong magsend. she might be busy there in tate u know.

browsing thru those old messages left me feeling nostalgic for some time. matagal-tagal na rin kasi ung mga un. m talking about mails sent to me 3-4 years ago. they somehow reminded me of the what-could-have-beens and the what-should-have-beens. (funny how of all the things you miss, the ones that didn't happen strike you the most.)

oh well, i have my own life now. can't afford to live in the past and miss the present. not again.

cheers guys to our last year in college!

live for the moment.

puyat

syensya na sa last post. am not supposed to vent out my anger over the blog pero i got carried away. m a-ok now, and i think i've forgotten about it. ngarag kasi, kagagaling lang sa council semplanning at hindi kami nakatulog nang maayos.

geesh, sabi ko pa naman ayos sched ko ngaun. 4 days alang pasok. guess what? mukhang kailangan ko pang pumasok for council activities. first week pa nga lang, punong-puno na. 6 units nga ang council.

oh well, i chose to be part of it. plus jc. plus gm. plus another one, and yet another one. tapos may bago na naman. plus raket pa. hay buhay...

one day makakatulog din ako...nang mahimbing

grrr...

what's d worst thing that could happen to u as a reg asst? lokohin ka ng tinutulungan mong mag-enlist all for the sake of her bitchy, bratty self.

aba ang walangya, nagpalipat ba naman ng section kahit may nakuha na. sinabi pang aprubado na raw ng prof. guess what? when i checked, nde pala. and to think may conflict sa sched na lilipatan niya. so, being her scheming, calculating self, pinacancel niya ung conflict na sched, nagpaenlist ng another subject to fill up her old slot para di na siya makabalik. ayun nga, pinayagan rin sya.

unfair! e kung thesis partner ko nga di pinayagan lumipat kahit noong tues ko pa kinausap ung prof. and what? she'll have her way? ano yun?

importante pa naman ung 3-day weekend sked namin ng thesis partner ko, and this girl i'm talking about ruined my partner's chances of switching classes. pambihira. gusto kong sumbatan ung prof. gusto ko rin sumbatan ung girl na un.

pero anyway, i believe in the law of karma. what goes around, comes around. humanda na lang siya.

forgive her. she has no idea what she's getting into.
