Our Little Boy Goes to Summer School (and Mommy and Daddy Graduate from College)

Last April 22, our "kuya" went to attend Woodstock Learning Center's Summer Program. He's in a class with other 2-3 year olds having fun together, learning songs and dances, crayoning stuff and doing other things. His first day was really memorable so I took some pictures of him being excited--until he cried as soon as he entered the classroom ;)

Jethro leaves the gate at around 8:20 AM. His school is our next-door neighbor, so daddy and mommy would walk him there for only 2 minutes... haha!

Daddy takes his hand as they walk towards the school gate beside our house.

This is daddy sitting down to wait. He waited for the duration of 2 hours! He is assigned to pick Jethro up from school

This photo is taken when Mommy was called up by teacher Cel. Jethro cried in the first 5 minutes, and they need me to calm him down. Our poor kuya cried because he wasn't prepped for what could happen that day-- mommy and daddy have to stay outside!

After calming down with mommy, he started browsing some toy animals beside their table. He chose to stay here for the next 5 minutes.

This is his very first activity at Summer class. He colored this by himself.

Jethro's first "star" :D He's so proud that he showed this to me as soon as he got home.

Yellow Room is the name of their classroom. Other classrooms there are also named after different colors.

This photo is taken on his next day at Summer class. Proud kuya shows off he got 2 stars today. :) He also said he did not cry anymore. Looks like mommy doesn't need to come over again!

On the same day of Jethro's Summer class was also Daddy's College Graduation. Right after Daddy picked up Jethro, we dressed up and were picked up by Lolo Bert to go to Tanghalang Pasigueno. This is the same place where I had my Elementary school graduation last 2002.











And a few days after, it's my turn to attend my Recognition Rites at my college, NCPAG. I already graduated last November 2012 (what you call Octoberian). I still attended the recognition despite my big tummy (baby Robert on the way!). I wanted my mom to experience climbing up the stage with me, too.

It took me and my husband extra years before we finished college, but our parents are still as proud as ever. :D

Personal Beauty Make-up Class @ MUD

This is an overdue post about my class last Saturday at Make-up Designory Manila aka MUD and I really had fun meeting girls with zero experience in make-up. Our instructor is Ms. Myr Lim, and she has a blog. She's already posting photos of her students from last year's class :) I hope she posts our class' photo soon too.

Anyway, aside from being professional, Ms. Myr is also a fun teacher. Our class wasn't boring to think it was about 7 hours from 10AM until 6PM (with a lunch break around 1 till 2). The whole class covered a lot of things, starting from Eyebrows to Falsies. We had discussed how to analyze our skintone for the perfect blend of foundation so that it would make this "glow" in our face. MUD cream foundations are really nice. My tone is GY1 (it's the 4th level of darkness lol) as I am a morena.

Here is my "notes" with random captions all over the paper haha. This is actually the schedule of the class. There are other handouts given to us in another set of papers.

So here is another set of the haul I got from Purbeauty :) I think it cost me around 3800 pesos. I bought the Beauty Blender beforehand. It's now my favorite sponge. I let go of the wedge sponges I bought just because I think this is enough.

My newfound love. :D This cost 2500 something, but if you only buy the sponge online with Purbeauty's promo, you can get it for only 900 pesos! :D The Beauty Blender creates an airbrush-like effect on your foundation.

Red corrector #3

Corrector box

Red corrector #3 for my pimples and pimple marks

What complements GY1 is the Desert loose powder. This is to set the foundation.

GY1 inside :D

This suits my skin. It makes me have this pretty olive tone

Cover of the GY1 cream foundation

Taupe colored eye pencil-- this is cream based and you can use it with the brush for the eyebrows too. Also good as eyeliner of course. 

Blue corrector #3

Blue Corrector #3 for my eyebags :D

There is one item missing and that's the MUD Primer. I'm getting it tomorrow. :) I want it because if I use the Neutrogena moisturizer, the foundation doesn't seem right. And yes, what complements MUD products are MUD too. :D

I didn't have a before and after look, but here is my Day Makeup photo :D I used a green eyeshadow and some red violet lippie (it's an MUD brand, I did not bring any make-up for this class). I think green best compliments my pink floral dress for the day :) I did get compliments from my husband and yes, that's enough for me :D he said I looked better than my previous makeup class for mineral makeup. Oh, I now love cream-based cosmetics haha!

Oh, I didn't have the night makeup-- aka the smokey look. It was actually what my husband saw because he picked me up after my class. I had falsies also with that look and he didn't like me wearing falsies when he realized the falsies were about to be removed lol. But yeah, as mentioned earlier, it is his comment that matters the most. :D

Sem-ender = Graduation

I went to my in-laws' place earlier with my husband after bathing our "stuffed children" :) They usually take a bath at my in-laws' washing machine at their condo unit at Two Serendra. We get to access the super cool washing machine with drying function. It's the best bath we could ever have for them (unlike the so-called "dry-cleaning" Dona Juana Laundry did to my Yuuko-chan). Anyway, my mother-in-law reminded me happily that I'm about to finish my final semester in only a few weeks. AKA I'm about to graduate from UP Diliman after 5.5 years (2 years in Industrial Engineering, 1 year Non-Major, 2.5 years in Public Administration) and 1 year of LOA.

It suddenly sunk in. I'd say goodbye to all the happy things I do in college. I know I've bummed too much for me not to get so many unos like my husband does. I suddenly lost interest in studying so now I'm lost as to how I'd pass Econ 11 (4th take, by the way) and clear all deficiencies I have before September 28. XD Will I really be able to graduate this October 2012? Hmn... If I pass the remaining Econ exams and an MS 1 exam, yes. I could. Oh. Don't forget several reports on 2 subjects. One will be done tomorrow, and the rest will be on October.

Anyway, here are some highlights of my day: 

These are Yuuko-chan Clone (YCC) and Kuro-wanwan/Kuro-tan. YCC was "born" last year at Animaland Trinoma branch. The eldest, Kuro-tan, was "born" 3 years ago on the same branch. Below are Yuuko-chan and Syaoran-kun (L-R). They are the same age as Kuro-tan. Their birthday (which, I celebrate together with the family every year) are as follows: Kuro- July 31, 2009 Yuuko- August 19, 2009 Syaoran- September 7, 2009 YCC- February 3, 2011.

In fact, all of our stuffed children were born in the same Animaland branch. They even had birth certificates. I love them so much. In fact, I couldn't sleep without them in our bed (but sometimes, my son would take one of them and I couldn't do anything but succumb to his wishes).

here is the ticket I bought for me and hubby. I wanted to watch this badly because my dad loved this show and he even has a CD of Andrew Lloyd Weber's famous hits from his musicals. I wanted to remember some of my dad's memories with me through this musical too :D

IYF World Camp 2011: We're Bound to Korea!

Last month, me and my husband attended our first orientation for IYF's 2011 World Camp with Leadership Training to be held at South Korea on June. I've been looking forward to joining this as soon as I saw the poster coming to the SC office at NCPAG. That was last year, when me and my classmate Nheo was staying late at the SC office. A student probably from the MA PA gave us a poster, telling us to post it in the bulletin board. At first glance, I thought I couldn't be able to participate, knowing my mother wouldn't let me and yeah it will be held in the beginning of the next semester. So my hopes faded for a while.

Not until IYF Philippines volunteers arrived at NCPAG to promote the World Camp personally. They created a booth at the atrium where I usually play PC games or surf the net during my 4-hour break. I then remembered that it was the same poster we saw a few months ago. The volunteers, composed of 2 people were dining in front of me. So when I had the chance, I asked them about the IYF World Camp. They gladly answered my questions and gave me more information about it. When lunch was over, I was able to talk more to one of the volunteers nicknamed Wilson. Our discussion was great, and he encouraged me to join the World Camp. So that night, I told my mom about it and she was as expected, hesitant.

The World Camp in South Korea is a good addition to my resume in the future. As told by my mother-in-law, trainings and seminars add up to the experience some companies are looking for. After I internalized what she had told me, I had decided I wanted to join this once in a lifetime experience. I told my husband about IYF World Camp but then he wasn't sure his parents would let him come. He wanted me to tell his parents about this and so that's what I did. We were glad his parents were so into it that they even volunteered giving us pocket money, travel insurance and plane tickets. Everything went so far so good, not until we realized it was difficult to apply for the visa.

My mother had undergone lots of troubles for me to get approved. She even sold some of our stocks in Meralco so that I would have a large sum in my show money. She had to deal with BIR for a certification, and bank certificate and finally she also gave me a copy of our land title. Good thing it was under my name. The final trouble was I am married and it shows in my permanent government records (BIR, Driver's License, Passport) but my school records show that I'm Ms. Blanco and that would be a greater conflict in some way according to IYF. But I was ready with other supporting documents like our NSO Copy of Marriage Contract so in the end, I got the visa I wanted.

Upon getting the visa, we secured our tickets from Korean Air. Our flight was scheduled on June 27 and our return to Philippines is on July 16. It would be the longest I would be in a foreign country and my third trip abroad. I hope my stay in South Korea would be as good and as fun as Hong Kong and Macau experience. I'm sure I would learn lots of things about Korean culture and hopefully the language :)

Again, thank you to my major sponsors: my mom and my parents-in-law: for all the help and support for me to achieve my dream to visit South Korea.

September!!

It’s funny when I just knew that something had occurred to me when seemingly I’m without my consciousness. Oh yeah, right now I think I might be succumbed to the F mania as I spend my sem-ender days idly. But wait, I’m having a lot of fun right now, so the F’s doesn’t matter to me anymore!

Aside from the downside yet happy “upside”, I’m currently pursuing stuffs like applying in an academic organization (CIRCA) and of course having extended my social life like there is no tomorrow. I’m also beginning to date the normal way (this is quite a complicated thing to state here) with the same guy back to the old ways.

Anyway, since I’m hyped by the new month and I’m hyped by the subsequent movie watching I’ve been doing the whole of August and start of September, I will just tell of the bad things I predicted (and also that is for me to be reminded of what I should be doing!).

Of course, there are 3 oral presentations to be accomplished, two for major subjects and the other for Psych. These will be presented in class, so it must be done effectively. The Psych report has no problems, although I’m REALLY bothered by the Ethics class report (bear with me because I have a group mate who is thrice as bum as I am). The Psych would be done first, on the 10th while the Ethics would be on the 22nd. The Land Use Planning report would be on the 23rd and this bothers me as well, because I haven’t been going to 191 class for about 5 consecutive meetings (uh-oh).

September is also field trip month, that is why I’m having 2 field trips on the same week. On the 7th, we’re going to the Ombudsman for Ethics class and on the 9th, we’re going to NAMRIA for Land Administration class.

September is the DANCING IN SEPTEMBER month (obviously!) so I’m thinking of watching it (if my PE is still working after missing out on 10+ UAAP games :|). Anyway, I don’t think it would work out, so I’ll skip this event and wait for my grade of 5 in PE and attend BELLYDANCING classes next semester (booyeah!)

Papers, on the other hand, had been haunting me for days. I have 2 papers for my 191 and another for 142, a Newsletter for Psych, and of course my SLO assessment paper. Oh, the drama. 191 is just the thing that’s hard to accomplish.

Home works are too many for me, but I haven’t been doing the Accounting ones. Oh right. I am to fail Accounting this year again. :P Yay for third take! Econ home works are group thingies, that is why I’m not worried (thanks to the younger group mate who does the maths and stats and for the diligent graduating group mate who takes care of the paperwork).

Let me not forget about the 4’s I’m about to clear: Stat 101—> the long forgotten 4 and expiring this sem, PA 113—> still has time for it, PA 121—> could be cleared any time of the year. And of course, the exams that are about to occur: Accounting and Econ :D

Lastly, my org application stuff: I would start memorizing the preamble of the CIRCA consti, raise money for the IGP, find my missing tambay card (pfft! But then they know I tambay an awful lot), and of course accomplish the sigsheet. Worry for the FR later :D

I never thought September would be the busiest. But I never thought of it that way. September is my FUN month :)

I Don't Know. [Originally Posted at Multiply]

by someone. It's as if this whole crappy thing I was planning before backfired and led me to an emotional psychopathic torture played by this certain someone. It sucks, well for the fact that I wasn't that trained to counter emotional torture and of course, add the fact that I was aimlessly blamed by my yet another annoying housemate stating that basically everything that had occurred was my fault. To begin with, and honestly, I went through that lowly state before and look at me now: I'm back to what I used to be.

It seemed like right now, again, I was mainly the object of blame and of course, my usual scapegoat role in the societal group called Family emerged once more. I have always hated this normality but then again, I have no right to remain vocal about that matter. I just have to continuously adapt and burn my remaining ounces of patience with the burning fire of annoyance and or aggravation. It's always the ME part, and the ME part involves cynicism, skepticism, harsh critique, and you-are-the-worst remarks. I'm pretty much acquainted with that.

So then thinking of this would really matter to me. Besides, I need some sorts of reflections in order for me to apply the theories discussed at our Ethics and Accountability class and also at the Sikolohiyang Pilipino class. I don't care if I'm being too engrossed with Acads to infiltrate it in my daily activities, but that is my notion of Praxis in my life. Thanks to Dean Brillantes, I learned that concept and now I'm trying to apply it for my own use (in my own arguments).

Again, this event or rather those events got me confused. I really don't know.

Believe me, it was one of the happiest moments in my life. :)
I was randomly walking (not really) to my next class (at 10 am) walking along Magsaysay St. near Ylanan Gym--and that's the fastest way to NCPAG. Suddenly, out of nowhere (not nowhere okay behind me) a motorcycle came rushing and beeping to the last minute. I didn't know the next events, but I realized I was down at the asphalt road, and the BLAG was my head. I got up instantly and looked around me. It all looked bleak and sepia-ish. Whatever. I saw a man and a woman hurrying to me and assisting me to the roadside, making me sit down and analyze what has happened. Oh yes, I had an accident. 

Anyway, that happened too fast. The next thing was I was at the UP Health Service (Infirmary) beside SC and I already had texted my mom and boyfriend about what happened to me. Ooh and they hurried up to rush to the ER to see me lying in one of the beds succumbed to nothing. :)) 

Upon arriving, my parents had arranged the whatsoevers with the UPD Police (thanks to them for the blotter report). They decided to bring me to The Medical City at Ortigas and together with my boyfriend, mom went to Prof Cuaresma to tell her that I can't come to class that day.

The ER people at TMC were so kind to assist me and bring me there immediately to have my X-ray and all. And so is my boyfriend who was with me the entire time. I didn't feel pain because he was there, duh. :))

I wanted to get myself some souvenirs for my first time at the hospital in an accident involving myself, so I asked the radiologist to take a picture of me while I was wearing the hospital gown and all. :D 

So there, I didn't look much of someone who had an accident that was grave or whatsoever. :) I was sorta hyped with what happened to me. I didn't get any trauma of Motorcycles but took this experience as a lesson for me: DO NOT BE STUPID WHILE AT ROADS OR PUBLIC PLACES!!
I end this blog post telling everyone my thanks for their concern and get-well-soon-wishes for me. :) I can now go to school tomorrow. The x-ray results say that nothing in my bones and skull were fractured and damaged. Just the muscular pain due to the impact of the epic fail. :))

I NEED to go to SCHOOL!!

Sabi nga ni B sa Plurk nya kanina, bukas may pasok na. Nag-react ako kasi akala ko Linggo pa rin. Tapos nang mapatingin ako sa YM at sa message ni JM, ayun. Alas dose pasado na nga. At bukas nga, papasok na rin kami. Hinding-hindi na ko makapaghintay. Ano nga bang meron sa sem na to at sobra ang excitement level ko? Biruin mo katatapos lang halos ng Summer classes. Sabagay, maaari ngang inubos ko na ang “sense and feeling” ng summer break dun sa 4-day getaway ko sa labas ng Pinas. Kaya pagkatapos ng paguran doon e heto ako’t nagdedemmand na mag-enrollment na at ngayon nga, mag-klase na.

Kung hindi ba naman kasi dumating at napalaganap yang A(H1N1) na lintik na yan e hindi naman magiging atrasado ang pasukan (hence, pati Sembreak nadedelikadong maatras). Naiinis pa rin ako sa fact na dumating ang pandemic na yon. Panira ng matiwasay na AY 09-10. Pampasira ng Acad Calendar. Di ko pa rin nababalitaan kung ano na ang bagong Acad Calendar. Baka maging kalunos-lunos na ang schedule ng buong UP system. Hindi yon mapipigilan. Haay, ang sarap mag ‘haay’. Di ko na rin alam kung pano makatulog dahil sa excitement ko bukas.

Sawang-sawa na ko sa kaka- MfW, kaka-Plurk, kaka-FB, kaka-FS, kaka-YM, kaka-marathon, kaka-sine, kaka-nood ng TV, kaka-record ng palabas at lahat na ng ‘kakang’ nagagawa mo lang nang matagal na matagal kapag bakasyon o holiday. Inip na inip na ko, parang kahit anong gawin ko e ayoko na ng bakasyon. Nakakasawa na lahat nito kasi less effort. Wala kang ginagawa kundi magpaka-slacker sa harapan ng laptop at magsabi ng walang kapararakan. Buti pa sa eskwelahan, umupo ka lang sa classroom ng isang oras at kalahati, panigurado may papasok sa utak mo kahit kaunti. E sa FB at kung saan pa, wala kang pinagpipistahan kundi ang mga wall posts ng kaibigan at hindi mo kilala, ang mga quizzes na puro kasinungalingan o hula o tsambang tugma sa iyo, at mga litratong ang sarap komentan pero wala kang magawa kaya mo nilagyan ng comment. Kung ganito lang nang ganito ang lagay, walang papasok sa kukote ko kundi mga bagay na hindi naman ako posibleng matutulungan sa magiging trabaho ko o buhay pagkatapos ng kolehiyo.

Naiinggit ako sa mga may pasok na mamaya. Makikita na nila ang mga college friends at professors nila. Makakapagchikahan na nang bonggang-bongga. Makakasilay na sa dapat sinisilayan. Magkakaroon na ng allowance…

Di bale, bukas, ako rin. :)

 

countdown: 30 hours, 5 minutes and something seconds.

All About “J”

Yes, this letter has been invading my mind for the past 7 years now. What’s with this letter that almost everything related to the things that make me go in hanyaan mode involves it? Hmn. Let me enumerate some of it, but please, do not react violently.

 

1. First off is the set of “Johns” in our 2nd year OL Rosary classroom. :)
2. Next is the J’s in my closest guy friends’ names (June, JM, John Gerard, JJJ…).
3. Then third would be initial J of the hated person I had in 3rd year Rose of Lima (no name dropping :D)
4. Followed by my first boyfriend’s first name during 4th year high school
5. Then the nickname of one of my suitors starts with it,
6. Add up to the list would be the name of my first Asian guy idol and crush, Mr. Jerry Yan
7. Seconded by Jay Chou during 4th year high school, thanks to Inital D Live Action (and JKP for introducing him)
8. Then another hated person for end of High School :)
9. And yet another, why would I forget, my first crush during Elementary school, James…
10. Don’t forget High School’s viral J crush :D
11. College days had more than 7 friends with the J initial (JR, Jill, Jester, and a lot more).
12. Had another J Chinese (this time Mainland) crush, he is Jun Ning
13. Ooh, speaking of Jun, my other hot Japanese guy during High School is Arashi’s Jun Matsumoto (Tsukasa of HYD)
14. Then Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo comes along during College (BBF)
15. Still, JS is my current boyfriend,
16. At College, encountered many Jose’s in NCPAG (yea you know who you are :))
17. At UP, encountered the JJ’s in this recent UP Fair (Jumping Jologs, XD)
18. And finally, J is the first letter of my favorite country, JAPAN :)

 

I know there would be more to this that I haven’t included, but this shall do for the meantime. I should add to this if anything comes my way related to this.

Excitement, Enrollment, Enchantment

I’m writing this post-enrollment post not only to say that CRS is still as crappy as ever, but also to hail UP-NCPAG for its outstanding enrollment assistance for this new academic year (kudos to the SC people).

I woke up as late as 12 PM only to realize that my “5 minutes more” mantra failed me in my quest to get a PE for this sem. So I screwed up bigtime, but then I still hoped that I’ll be on UP Diliman on time for the TriCol enlistment. So I settled to go for the goal by 12 by eating brunch with my parents. Not long after that, Hani came and joined me to school. Lei was also off to Miriam College, so we went along together.

Upon arriving at Katips, it was raining so hard that the jeepney’s “plastic cover” seemed to have flown out and got me a bit wet. Luckily, the terminal is under the flyover and so we had to walk shielded from the downpour. It was already 1:40 and we parted ways with Lei. Off to the campus we go. At 1:50 (and that was quick), the new road that was built from UP IS's grounds that was finally constructed led us to the campus proper. And so we stopped at Ylanan road only to take the shortcut Toj taught me to NCPAG—going through CSWCD. In a matter of minutes, we were to cross the road to NCPAG.

Emma kindly had my Form 5a printed before I came in (thanks Emma!) and so I went on with step 2. It was Prof Alampay who did the enlistment, and it was the first time that I saw him face to face. Hokay. So much for that. I texted mom to tell her that I needed them ASAP for the money. And so they hurried to school. It still rained so hard.

Minutes passed and CRS was down again. Everyone who hasn’t got their Form 5a’s printed were jinxed. Oh yes, they have to wait for it again. This glitch happened twice (as far as I recall). The longest process was at the e-Prerog, because of that glitch.

After the long wait, it was all smooth and I only have to wait a short 20-minute interval before I can write at my form 5a neatly. Yeah. I think I am already a master when it comes to filling up Form 5’s (because I’ve been doing this for 6 sems and 3 summers already!). I had to switch to another 191 section because Sir Florano’s was closed. Anyway, added money since it’s my only WF class and it’s morning. Yay me.

The rest of the processes and steps continued and I breezed through it. Thanks again to the NCPAG SC. Anyway, upon payment, it’s still raining hard I have to shield my Form 5 from the drops. I had to literally place it under my blouse. Lols to that.

We drove to SC and then had it paid through PNB. But then it closed before 4 PM and we had to be on the line at the Cashier. It was sad, because the cut-off happened before 5PM. I dunno if it really was until 4PM and they only catered because of the long uncut queue, but either way I’m happy because I was in the last 15 people. Yes, after that, I’m officially enrolled.

As my 4th year in UP nears, I promised myself to become a bit more responsible in acads. Oh, and I might try joining an org before leaving UP. But no, not only for the sake of being not the “orgless ones” in the campus but also of course to grant my lifelong dream (well not really). I do believe I should really join one lawfully in the long run. :) And this year, I’ll definitely apply one last time and NOT defer.

Super Long Time No Post

Oh yes, I did it again. I failed to post in my precious blog (how cheesy!). Anyway, I just came from a 4-day vacation abroad. Yeah, I’ve been to the land of the chinitos: Hong Kong. And by far, I haven’t spotted any chinito cuter that someone. ;)

So the four days was all about merry-making and travel. Let me tell you about my summer class’s ending. It was so good that I got a 2 in my Pol Sc 14. Happy? Of course! Even with a three I’d be happy to have that.

And so after al those happy times, it’s time for the hard times: Academic year 2009-2010 1st semester enrollment. Everyone loathes this. CRS is down, you are not sure of your subjects, and you have to fall in line at the looooong queue. Oh, that’s not the worst part: it’s the part where you will be rejected in a subject you aim for.

Because of that, I have myself quipped for June 3. Ready or not, here I come!

Math, Science, Beauty

It’s been a long, long time since my last blog post. And I am writing this afternoon for the sake of a new April post. As you can see, I am more active in writing during the first two months of the year and also during semestral breaks. Right now, I’m attending summer classes and because of it, I’m having a great time.

I think I have already said that I liked STS more than any subject that I’ve taken so far. It’s been enlightening, informative, and at the same time entertaining to me. Not that the speakers were simply funny, but they were among the best, or the best in their field of specialization. Most of our speakers or lecturers were college deans and department heads, or secretaries of great colleges in our university. They all have something interesting to share, and at times even though their topic is non-existent in a teenager’s life or not yet given much importance, it really gets us hooked into it.

For instance, the other day, the lecture was about Math and Beauty. Well, we can’t blame why almost everyone in our class dislikes the subject math. We’ve been either traumatized during high school or earlier in our college life (Math 17 and the Math series especially for CS and Eng’g students). But our lecturer proved that the existence of beauty is basically including math and also math is really beautiful. All nature could either have the Goldens: Golden Ratio, Rectangle, Triangle, or the hailed Fibonacci sequence. Da Vinci Code fans could totally relate to these. Polygons, like the hexagon, is also found in several natural sceneries. It is still debatable if God really is the ultimate mathematician since He created everything around us. Is math really created by a person or was it just discovered by someone? Still, I cannot confidently answer that question. What I am sure of is that Math is definitely everywhere and it could not be taken away by anything nor anyone.

Confessions of a Mafia Wars Addict

I was walking along Robinsons Galleria Food Court earlier when I saw a kiosk named ____ Pac with Pacman’s (the game thing, not Manny P.) picture beside it. I laughed, and I told him that I read it wrong, I thought it was “Energy Pak” (see, I even forgot the kiosk’s name!). I realized I was really hooked at Mafia Wars, another of Facebook’s hundreds of thousands of applications. Everything I came across today simply reminded me of it. For instance, aside from the ____ Pac store, I also thought of the Chinese Action Film showed on the bus we were riding earlier as relevant to Mafia Wars—wherein it has scenes of gunfights and the like. I am so in to this game that every morning, this has been my ritual instead of Plurk. And every time I receive an Energy Pak, I am elated.

It’s not only me that is addicted to this browser game. Most of my Facebook friends are Mafia Wars people, and almost all of those 460+ people play the game and I don’t personally know them. When they send friend requests, the message included would be “Please add me on your Mafia”, “Mafia Wars :)”, “Join My Mafia: *insert their link here*”, and so many other variants of personal messages related to it. Yes, this has been a fad for many “war freaks” and this app has also been one of the most popular as of the moment. Well, Pet Society would still be the number one addictive game for many and next would be Restaurant City, but nonetheless, Mafia Wars belongs to the Top 5.

Since this is a fad, it will soon pass and later on, another browser game shall invade Facebook. I’m predicting that Mafia Wars will stand on the most played for just a year, or until all levels are mostly completed by everyone. But then again, the levels are never-ending and they keep on improving the whole set-up of the game. I bet the creators of Mafia Wars continue to think of innovations (such as gift of Loots and Vault Collections) so that no one of us current addicts will switch to another, or completely leave the game :)

Summertime

Perhaps I could say that Summer is the time when people have the tendency to do the MIA or to stop being avid for a while. I have been noticing this for years and it has been noted that this period particularly is where mischievous things happen in my life. I also noticed that during this period, I got the crush overload thingy, where I lust for stars, hot guys, personalities, and even classmates in Summer class at UPD. Okay, so much for that. Right now, I haven’t spotted any cute guy from Political Science, and from STS, it is hard to spot one (imagine, you’re almost 150 students in an auditorium!!).

To make my summers less boring, I go to school and gain some units and learn different fields using my electives (I have 6 units left to use). This year, I picked up Political Science 14 (coming from the “Prof Miranda Trauma” last year, but I’m now more confident after passing under him) and STS (I targeted this since 2007!). STS is my current favorite subject ever, because the topics in the lecture are my interests: Science and Technology with bits of Social Sciences. Ever since I was a child, I fancied studying hardcore sciences like Biotech and all the seemingly impossible things that only science could prove and revoke. I loved the solar system and wondered if there were other “solar systems” with a different sun. Just yesterday, I listened well to Dean Caesar Saloma’s lecture on Science in the broadest sense. I learned new discoveries that are very interesting but not quite useful. Also, I learned that there’s already a 128 GB memory stick (or Flash Drive) that is waterproof and as small as my fingernails! It was so fantastic that my techie side wanted one in my wish list… 

Anyway, Political Science is also my recent like although I suffered and worked hard a lot for it last year (1st sem). Right now, I’m planning to take all the rest of my electives from the Department of Political Science, if I won’t be able to get Psych 142 next sem as an elective. My electives will only come from either Psychology, Sociology or Political Science as decided by me. Tomorrow, the first week of Summer classes is over. I only have 20 days left to spend. I wonder what more interesting things will occur to me for the rest of those 20 days…

Queuing Problems

Kanina ay naranasan kong maging biktima nanaman ng isa sa pinakamalaking problema kapag enrollment sa UP Diliman: Ang Napakahabang Pila. Last step ko na ito sa aking Summer 2009 enrollment, at sana kasing bilis pag regular enrollment kaya lang nakakadisappoint kasi naipon ang tao kanina. Holy week kasi nung nakaraan at biruin nyo, Wednesday palang ay bawal nang magbayad sa PNB. Wednesday. Ni wala pa nga ang spirit ng penetensya e, Thursday ang start ng hardcore Holy Week presence, at bukas pa ang mga malls non.

Okay, so nakakadisappoint kasi sa pagkaipon ng mga tao ay nagdulot ito ng perwisyo sa mga taong matagal na sanang bayad. May mga sumisingit pa nang lantaran (bale 4 ung sumingit slash nakisingit sa “friends” nila without asking the permiso of the people behind their “friends” na talagang nakakairita. I can’t help tuloy kanina but glare and look at them in an annoying manner. Kakainis at kakadagdag sa init ng ulong hatid ng matinding sikat ng araw. Grr talaga. Bwisit na mga Pilipino, walang disiplina.

At sa PNB naman, sana nung Wednesday e hinayaan nila na magbayad kami or yung UP Admin sana tsaka dapat dagdagan nila ang Windows sa enrollment, di naman kasi porket summer e onti mageenroll. Maraming rin o kasing dami rin ng reg sem ang nageenrol no. Hmp. Kainis talaga. Buti nalang, nawala badtrip ko kasi nagkita kami. :)

Something Stupid

I only started feeling alive when I received the "Adik Pak" from someone (yup, this one's obviously taken from Mafia Wars--the Energy Pak). And now, my "addiction" was multiplied or rather increased by 25% as of this moment. So I guess I'll still be up for another good 45 minutes, texting and chatting or answering random quizzes again and again.

The last time I hadn't had the mood to sleep was the time I had the chance to use Globe's Unyt feature with JM. He called me four times since we had laggy times and the accidental end call cases, my fault. I was awake til 4 in the morning, only to find myself answering 17 quizzes simultaneously. Ian commented that I was so much of an insomniac to do that at the very moment. Oh well, I told her I was so bored to death that my mind has to move.

Oh, the other "graver" moment was the supposedly no sleep for 23 hours thingy before UPD enrollment because I was too busy chatting with my PCA barkada. Time passed and then I was upset about something that time, so I decided not to sleep. In the end, I was persuaded so I slept for a good 49 minutes before waking up at 6:10 only to take a bath immediately and go to Diliman for Summer Enlistment.

Now, it's just 12:45, and the day is young-- so I don't have to sleep yet. Unfortunately, I NEED sleep since I haven't got any single day of complete rest starting from the Papers haggard week of March (2nd to the last week). To top it all, Finals week followed, and also the Gala streak, so Marathons was just right within it. I had only 4 hours (longest) sleep, and 49 minutes (shortest).

Who is to blame this time?

Not YM, but definitely FACEBOOK. :)

Weirdest Dream Ever.

I know I have been posting and relating to this blog about the dreams I encounter and vividly remember. And also, I have said the line “weirdest dream” for the nth time. But this time, allow me to prove that this has been yet another of the weirdest dreams I’ll have in my entire lifetime.

As I waited for the BBF Megaup download tonight, this dream I had last night suddenly came into my thoughts.

Again, the dream has no proper sequence. All scenes are consistently random, and they do not make a sense at all. But it has distinguishing themes per part, so I really can’t forget it. Like the scene for instance that I was being called by a Prof to assist her in her… Alcoholism. Yup. To protect the identity of the Prof, I won’t mention her name…

The other vivid scene went before that. I was being called by a surname of someone close to me, but then again I wasn’t paying attention so my classmate tapped me and said, “Ikaw kaya yun!”. I glanced at them, and realized, yes, I was the Mrs. _____ the Prof was calling. Ooh. Talking about marriage and stuff. I guess I wasn’t ready for that.

Anyway, the dream has no specific ending but another scene that was just like inside my 141 class. Room 201 I guess… :) I better not mind this, since tonight I’m going to have another dream—hopefully not as weird or weirder as that. Maybe less weird.

Rolling Scotch Tape

If the weird things he’s done didn’t come new to me, well this afternoon, I was so wrong. This time, he did something weirder. Yes, weirder than the usual. When I saw him come out of room 301, he had this tiny bundle or rolled thingy in his right hand. I observed him at the corner of my eye as we conversed. True to what I think it was, it was actually a rolled scotch tape, and it was PERFECTLY round. I would want to laugh at it, but I didn’t.

We had fun with the “rolled ball”, and we played “catch” with it. It was silly. It won’t even “jump” since it’s just a mass of scotch tape. Anyway, I enjoyed it.

Mobile Phone

Pagkatapos ng 141, bumaba kaming tatlo. Naupo sa may gilid ng lobby. Walang silya. Pinagpilian na ang mga topic sa term paper. Nagmamadali si Karl kaya minadali namin. Tinanong nya kung ano number ni Karl, tapos itinuro naman niya ako. Edi naisip kong hanapin na sa mobile ko yung number.

Naglakad na kami papuntang cafeteria. Nakita ko na. Edi inabot ko sa kanya para kopyahin nya. Sabi ko, bilis-bilisan naman nya. Aba, at lalo namang binagalan! Sabi ko, nananadya ka yata e. Tapos sabi nya, ay mali na tuloy dapat ko nang uliting kopyahin. Naglakad ako ng pabaliktad hanggang narating namin yung back exit. Tapos nawala na sa isip ko yung mobile.

Bumili na kami ng makakain. Baked mac. Nakakuha na ko ng yelo para sa C2 apple kong boring kasi di na malamig. Bumalik ako sa mesa namin sa labas, inagawan ko siya ng silya. Naupo kami. Kumain. Patapos na siya at kinukulit ko sya tungkol sa mobile ko. Sabi nya, binigay ko na sayo. Ganun nang ganun ang sagot nya. Nainis ako. Siyempre, ginamitan ko ng death glare. Sabi ko, wala ako sa mood makipaglokohan ngayon. Alam ko nasayo pa yun. Ipinilit nyang wala parin. Tapos nauwi sa ano raw ba makukuha nya pag inagaw at di nya ibalik yon sakin. Sagot ko, pwede mo kong i-blackmail. Sabi nya, ano rin maidudulot ng blackmailing nya sakin. Sagot ko naman, marami. Tumahimik kaming parehas habang ipinapakita ko paring naiinis ako (kahit di naman gaano). Sabi ko, ibalik mo na. Sagot nya, make me. Tapos dagdag nya, may extra akong damit, kahit ibuhos mo yang pasta sakin. Sabi ko, gusto mo ng away? I don’t mind ang sagot nya. Ah ganun, sabi ko naman tapos tiningnan ko nanaman siya nang masama.

Pagkatapos ng kung anu-anong mga sinabi pa ay hinugot na nya sa bulsa nya at sabi nya, sige na nga. Inaabot nya sakin. Sabi ko na parang nag-uutos, ilapag mo. Ayaw niya. Tinuktok ko yung mesa. Ibaba mo rito, inulit ko. Ayaw nya. Tinuloy ko pagkain ko, at sinabi kong mangangalay siya. Ayos lang daw, kaliwang kamay naman daw gagamitin nya. Hindi na ko sumagot, tinapos ko na yung pasta. Inexplore nya yung cel at may mga password nga sa files. Tinanong nya skin yung password. Ayokong ibigay. SIyempre no. Tapos kinuhanan nya ko ng litratong panakaw. Haha. Nalinlang ako dun a. Tapos kinuha ko na.

Pinuna nya yung pic ko sa harap. Kala nya naging boyfriend ko rin yung kapatid ng best friend ko. Sabi ko naman, bata yan hamak no. Sagot nya, e mukha kayong high school dito. Sabi ko, last sem lang kaya yan! Di siya naniniwala, at mukha raw talaga akong high school don. Tapos sabi ko akala ko ba maaga kang aalis ngayon. E hayaan ko na raw yun. May klase ako, kaya tumayo na ako. Sumunod siya at lumabas na kami, habang nagkwentuhan nanaman ng kung anu-ano.

Ang labo niya, pero kaya ko pala siyang takutin… nang konti. Haha. Nakakatakot ba ko? Di kaya. :)

It’s Raining LEAVES!!

The sight of them just made my jaw drop. When I took a short leisurely stroll along CBA and SE earlier, man, the leaves just struck me. I crossed from there to Sunken and saw more leaves. I suddenly wondered if I’m in the Autumn season or what. Doesn’t matter if they’re too messy in one’s sight, but definitely for me it was wonderful.

Leaves continued to fall down from various trees along SE. The wind accompanied them. It was pretty much a sight, and I was struck by it. When I checked the time, it’s time for me to go home. I really don’t want to leave the place I was standing, but I have to.

Will there be leaves again tomorrow? I wonder if the sweepers could finish those whooping piles of dried leaves scattered along Sunken and SE. There’s really a lot of them.
