I've been very busy the past couple of weeks -not that it's anything new. Whenever I absent myself from the blogging world it's because of that one main reason-BUSY. Anyway it's good to be back again here in Manila.
Did I ever tell you guys that no matter how polluted or noisy or dirty it is here in the city that
I LOVE BEING HERE? Well... I do. Very much. And since I've been out of town for four days
(Went to Las Pinas last Wednesday and stayed for 3 days at Sta. Rosa, Laguna) I've missed the city so much. Civilization is in the city and I love, love, looooove it.Here in the city I have so many to places to choose from if I
a) wanted to buy food other than what we have home b) go to the mall c) buy e-load,
d) access the Net and
e) watch cable TV. Okay so Las Pinas is not that far from civilization... Well... Maybe what I really want to say is "There's no place like home." I was out of town because I along with my groupmates were doing our project in Art of Film, a movie which is also our final exam for that subject and so I had to stay and sleep at another person's house.I rarely do that. I rarely do that because my freedom is limited.Good manners and right conduct should always be present when living at another person's house, be it a friend or a relative.In those days I had to bear living without TV and that's hard for a cable TV lover like me.It's also very quiet in those places that I could hear the distant sound of frog croaks and crickets as well.Very few people can be seen out in the street or their houses when night falls.I have to share a bed with a friend/classmate and deal with it if they want to have the electric fan open and the lights out
(I easily get cold and I never sleep with the lights out.) Plus I have to eat whatever food is being served for us to eat eventhough I don't really eat stuff like it and watch the shows on TV that I want to see.I can't sleep and wake up late in the morning because everyone else is already up and wide awake... That's my life when I'm not home. But here in the comfort of our own house -okay not really our own house since this is a distant grandmother's house and we're the caretakers -but still this is my home where I can do anything I want when I want.And now that I'm back, I can truly say it's
"Home sweet Home".
Okay now I wanna rant: Today, September 28, 2004 is to be noted down as
ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN ALMOST EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. I was late for my Statistics class, my first subject and so I wasn't able to attend class since my professor there likes to lock the door when he arrives in class.
NO LATE COMERS ALLOWED. That basically sucks since I had a test to take - supposedly.And this morning my ID was missing which contributed to the fact as to why I was late today for my first subject.It turned out later on that my ID had been inside my makeup kit all along. But those I could take. They are small things compared to
THIS: My friend,
Anerine basically stole my idea of a Bench shirt for a product shoot.It's for my Photography class you see and
I came up with the idea to shoot a model wearing a Bench shirt saying "Love ko Bench" or "I Choose Bench" and then she went and bought the shirt at Bench to do that kind of product shoot.I told her about it.It's my idea, damn her! And now she won't even let me take a picture of the guy wearing that shirt when I was the one who thought of it first!
The nerve!!!!Stealing my idea and not even letting me take a picture as well.How lame and unoriginal can she get? Well...whatever! I still have a few more ideas up my sleeve. She can have that Bench idea.I'll gladly shove it up her ass! I didn't even get to see my guy today on the one day I'm free on a weekday.
Hate this day.Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.
A little update on our TVC: It's almost done. Almost but not quite just yet.I hope it turns out good if not great.

I am beginning to be seriously stressed.In the weeks to come,we're going to do our own version of our school's advertisement.I'm excited actually although it's very stressful given the time limit of 3 weeks to do the TVC.We have model casting,locations sighting, shooting and editing to do.And if that isn't enough,we also have our short movie for Art of Film to do.That's also hard 'cos we have to again find locations to shoot it,camera shots to plan,actors to cast, etc. etc. etc. Add Photography and Radio to this list and my social life will seriously be dead, my time eaten up by all the work while pimples and dark circles under my eyes start appearing more and more..Ack!!! Oh well... Sacrifices have to be made to get good grades.I just wish I had a lot of moolah to spare, that way I wouldn't always dread last minute plans.And they wonder why I'm getting thinner! It's stress people! Stress! But on top of it all, despite these difficulties, I can surely say I'm enjoying. C.A. still rocks. I'm glad I'm at the right course.
Check out
Anerine's blog. She's a friend of mine and she'd really love it if you guys could visit her blog as well.
Caffeinerush. This is the guy I was talking about on my last entry whose thoughts on his life amuses me a lot.Read his posts if you like although he hasn't been active in the blogging world for quite awhile.
Anyway, that's all for now peeps.Am gonna go play Text Twist now and bloghop a little bit.

On one of my past entries, I posted some quiz results I took and someone commented there
'What will they think of next?' Well, take a look at these.
Whaddaya know? I'm a Gryfinddor!:D

You are a GRYFFINDOR!
As a Gryffindor and as an SFP, you are adventurous,
impulsive, and value heroic deeds. You enjoy
moving from one challenge to the next, and are
risk-taking, adaptable, and pragmatic. Since
you value freedom and spontaneity, you dislike
structure and may bend rules that you feel are
too stifling. When faced with a practical
problem, you approach it with courage,
flexibility, and resourcefulness. You are
warm, friendly, easy-going, and tactful, and
you are tolerant of other people.

This one is from
www.Humanforsale.com Fellow blogger friends, I challenge you to take this quiz.Let's see your worth.:D
I'm feeling so stressed and so tired lately.I don't know why.Maybe it's because of all the studying I did for the midterm half of this semester.Hahaha.Is it just and reasonable of me to blame it there?To add up to it,I've been soooooo annoyed, as in majorly annoyed with a friend of mine whom I shall simply call "beauty queen".She's been so weird these past couple of weeks, always biting our heads off and I don't like that at all.By this time I should've gotten so used to her attitude,I've known her for years for pete's sake!But I haven't...She still gets on my nerves and it makes me want to bite her head off as well.Lucky for her I've got patience to spare.
This morning,we were asked to evaluate two of our professors in their subjects and so I did.I rated Professor World Lit. and I rated him poorly.I even commented there that he mumbles and mutters whenever he's discussing which is annoying for real.I always watch my professors when they teach in our class.And if they bore me to death or confuse me so,I rate them so poorly on the evaluation sheets and I hand out negative criticisms about them...Well, not really negative.More like complains for comments.I'm a bad, bad girl...
Moving on, check out this guy's blog.The link to his blog page is right beside my comment box so if you guys are curious about this blogger,do read it.I just discovered his blog from my friend who visited VJ Ala's blog.His posts although he hasn't been active in the blogging world for quite a while, I loved his posts...Original,hilarious and for maybe for some annoying and offensive.
P.S. Can anybody teach me how to do the link like this: Check out
this one.When you click on the word "this", it automatically links you up to that website. I don't like putting the word Link beside my commentary box you see...So please, guys help me.

What's up in my life are these:
1) Midterm exams and grades are being announced already.So far, I'm lovin' if not simply likin' what I'm getting. I don't mean to brag but I got the highest score in two of my exams, a
WHOPPING 96.Wowee.I knew I did good on World Literature but I wasn't expecting to get the highest score in it.In my Morality exam I knew that I at least tried to do my best in answering those hard essay questions but to ace it was way beyong my expectation.I swear I got lucky in those two.I mean in class, I don't pay much attention to World Lit. cos my prof always seems to mutter and mumble whenever he's discussing a lesson so in that class, I'm always physically present but mentally absent and then I'm the highest? How cool is that? In morality class I'm always dozing off even though my prof is so alive in teaching the subject.Hey it's in the afternoon, can you blame me for always feeling like I wanna sleep?And then...I ace the exam.WOW.See, it's a lucky break.
2) Ghost stories are so hot in my class these days.It seems almost every one of them has a story to tell, an experience of these paranormal creatures whom I've never seen or felt before in my life at St. Paul.Yet a lot of them claim to have seen
and felt ghostsly presence at school like during the nightly rehearsals from theatre before and now even at the audio recording room.Wild imagination? Hunger? Hallucination? Or real? I wish I could tell. But it's scary right?
3) I went to Maxx, Tomas Morato this afternoon to attend a christening celebration of my newest baby cousin on the father side.Babies are so wonderful and absolutely adorable aren't they? I just love them so...Food was delish.Yummy.Up to now, I'm still craving to taste their chicken again.
4) Speak of food, I seriously need to eat more. People around me are telling me how thin I've become.Sexy it ain't.More like a stick.I don't know why it's happening.I'm not skipping meals anymore, neither am I doing any rigorous exercise.Oh well.At least now I have an excuse to eat all I want to.
5) I'm sort of lonely.A lot of my fellow bloggers whom I have somehow developed friendship with through blogging, have said their goodbyes to the blogging world.I enjoyed reading their posts and I felt I knew them somehow, I felt connected because even though I really didn't know them,I felt I was part of their life already simply by knowing what's up and what's down in their lives.It's really sad and I will miss them.But goodbye is part of life... It's part of change... And change is inevitable and permanent.
