I'll Be There for You.
Alay ko para sa aking mga minamahal na sabaw buddies na sina Jaime Niccolo at Margaret Michelle
To be sung in the tune of "I'll Be There For You" from the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. TV series theme song.

I'll Be There For You (some words were altered by me):

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
You're failing math, you're sick, you're best friend's M.I.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cos you're there for me, too

You're in the caf at six, your class begins at twelve
Something's troubling you but you keep it to yourself
Your life is just so ironic
But when your 'rents and school
Make you depressed, I want you to know
that

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cos you're there for me, too

No one could ever know me. No one could ever see me.
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me.
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the mess with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with...
...you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cos you're there for me, too

-FIN-

My life for the day:
1. sabaw after drinking mango-banana/bananggo/manana shake (yum!)
2. hyper with Maika, MM, Moxy Roxy, and Marc Theodore (tralalalalalala)
3. extremely excited to start the AMA Mall Production (I was the only freshie during the project directors' meeting)
4. yellowbelter in Taekwondo (woot!)
5. laughtrip during Filipino class (R3, mahal ko kayo)

Simple lang buhay ko, kaya mababaw lang talaga kaligayahan ko.

Frustration ko lang today si annoying stalker guy. Go away! Shoo!

Another frustration of mine at the moment is that people use my blog to advertise their sites. Go and spam someone else's blog. Just because I have about 11.1K++ hits in my blog doesn't give you the right to commercialize it...

I was craving for ice cream after ES Lec.
I couldn't find time to buy ice cream.
Thank goodness we had ice cream at home.
BTIC Kahlua Brownie, I LOVE YOU.
You made my day...heavenly.
Yum!

I Wanna Know What Love Is
As usual, Wednesday wasn't that fun. It made me...half-hearted. I miss yesterday..

Some of yesterday's moments (in my own words):
(ES Lab)
Me: Oi, Pahingi naman ng P, kulang kasi kami eh.
Ian: Kunin mo nalang dyan.
Nix: Eto o.
(after using P)
Me: Thanks.
Nix: You're not welcome.
Ian: May bayad yan ah.
Me: Ayoko nga magbayad. Wala akong pera noh!
(a few minutes later)
Ian: AL, pahingi naman ng K dyan. Nakulangan kami eh
<haha...buti hindi kami nagsingil diba? haha>

(Lunch Bonding in SecA-124A)
Nix: Gab, did you go to Bilibid as part of your CSP (un ata un..ahaha..not sure) for summer?
Gab: Yeah, why?
Nix: Wala lang. Naalala mo ba na magkasama tayo dun?
Gab: Talaga?
Nix: Yeah. Diba four members per group? Kasama kita nun.
Gab: *counts the number of people* Tama! Kasama nga kita.
Krissa: Gab, you're so mean. How could you possibly forget him??
<Natawa lang talaga ako sa facial expressions nila Nix and Gab>

(Excerpt of Sabaw Buddies YM Conference regarding the canonization of Jaime Niccolo)
MM: mag aappeal na ko sa vatican ngayon pa lang
MM: haha
Me:kelangan may miracles ekek
Me: ahahahaha
Nix: i can make AL laugh out of nowhere! 
Me: hmmm...ahahaha
Me:and you can make me cry too
MM: miracle ba yun? haha 
MM: aahahahah paradoxical 
Me: haha miracle of the smiles and the tears
Me: ahahaha (parang holy ekek ewan)
Nix:holy tears of joy and laughter
Me:may sorrow ba?
Me: ahahahaha
Nix:sorrow
Nix: ....
MM: aww
Nix: the changing of sorrow to joy?
Nix:parang bread and fish
MM: shet mahirap tong iaappeal ko ha

Yun lang. Pasensya nalang at medyo mababaw talaga ang aking kaligayahan. haha
I miss yesterday...

I'm thankful na kahit paano, the guys of R3 made us gals laugh during our "girl talk" in Manang's. Wilfreda, Charlene, Gianpaola Emilia (parang pornstar name..ay mali...pornstar name mo pala Boggart dba? :D), Natasha/Nathania Rhetta, and Christine Nicole..thank you so much.

KatD: *hugz* We still love you. Mean nya talaga. >:0

I pirated this from Maika's blog (I laff you dear). In relation to my topic for today's entry, I'd like to post her, well, post:

"Most girls don't usually like getting together with someone they're already friends with, because they might just break up and the friendship would be ruined. But there it is again.. the being-sure part. You're gonna end up breaking up and ruining your friendship of course, because you got together without even knowing if it's the real deal. You were just making yourself believe what you want to believe.

Most people say that the relationship they're in is "the one that will last forever and ever". And then it doesn't. When people get into relationships they should be willing to get married. That's the point of having a relationship in the first place anyway, right? Unless of course you get into relationships to get rid of your loneliness and to fill that empty feeling inside of you. God is the only thing that can fill that emptiness, and it is when you are whole that you can finally find completeness in someone else. One speaker even gave it a math equation. When you're only half-filled (meaning you're 0.5) and you multiply yourself with someone else who's half-filled, then your relationship will be 0.25.. which is even smaller than you are. But when you're whole (meanig you're 1) and you multiply yourself with someone else who's whole, then your relationship will be whole as well.

So basically there. I'm just trying to say that it's better to wait, no matter how long it takes, for that one to come. Don't look for it, just wait. You don't need experience. Just wait wait wait. And when it finally comes, you'll realize that it was all worth it."


I couldn't have agreed with her more. Love is most certainly a complex thing. You can't take it for granted, otherwise you'll end up feeling lost and confused. After seeing the people around me suffer from heartaches, love troubles and all, I swore to myself that I wouldn't be in a romantic relationship with anyone as of now(DKUY's words come flashing to me: "That's impossible. You're too nice, too cute, too fluffy.."). I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not planning on getting into a relationship anytime soon. It's better to wait and wait until Mr. Right comes into my life rather than force myself to be in a relationship because it's COOL or because I feel pressured to. If he does come along (or if he's already in my life but I don't know it yet), then I certainly would welcome him. As of now, I'm not looking for anyone. I have great friends who make me happy, and I wouldn't trade them for all the romantic love in the world.

P.S. I DO NOT have a boyfriend nor am I looking for one, ayt?
(Krissa, Uana, Ja, Nigui *wiggle waggles my finger at them. ahahahaha)


I'm not making any sense at all.
I'd have to update this post sometime to get my point across.
I gtg na eh. haha

Thankful.
I've been feeling down since the start of the week. Er..I felt REALLY down yesterday, but right now, I feel much better. Maybe all I really needed was a good cry.

I'm really thankful to God for giving me such great and supportive friends, most especially to my sabaw buddies, Nix and MM. Thank YOU. *hugz*

***

Today I was slightly feeling better. I'm truly filled with gratitude to Nix. Thank you so much. I am forever indebted to you.

Thank you for cheering me up with your sabaw-ness.
Thank you for (literally) being my shoulder to cry on.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your concern.
Thank you for listening to my woes (and I mean MY WOES).
Thank you for the understanding.
Thank you for the potato chips.
Thank you for being with me through sickness/sleepiness/laziness/weariness.
Thank you for singing with me.
Thank you for giving me LSS ("A whole new world....", "So If you'll go I'll understand...", "Cos there's something with the way you look at me..", "Tale as old as time...")
Thank you for B.I.-ing me (ahahahaha).
Thank you for everything.
(If I were to post all my thank you's to you, I'd fill up this whole page--but I'm too lazy to blog. ahahaha)
Thank you, Nix. I'd be lost without you. (Yuck, ang jologs, bro!)
Santo ka talaga. ahahaha >.<

My Current Pet Peeve
Sometimes things are amusing once you've heard about it once or twice--but it just gets annoying if they are repeated over and over again.

Is it unusual for a guy and a girl to be good friends with no romantic strings attached?

I thought that people were just kidding around for the sake of kidding around when they kept on teasing me about *bleep*. I was like, "Oh, okay..never mind. They just don't have anything else to say so they're just teasing around." I never really knew that they were kinda serious with those supposed "jokes".

"Diba he's interested in you? Cos I always see you guys together and he's always talking about you."

"That guy over there, he's AL's boyfriend." (Well, he's a guy and he's my friend)

"Ooohh...AL ah, may boyfriend ka na pala"

"Yihee...kayo na ba?"


It's stupid.

It irks me--really, it does. I usually laugh stuff like these off, but then when they keep on forcing the issue, it just gets plain annoying. Dude, for Pete's sake, he's like a brother to me. I AM NOT romantically involved with him, ayt?

I just hate it when people assume too much (as mentioned in my past entry). I've been having weird conversations with several of our common classmates, each of them thinking that I'm with *bleep* or that *bleep* is interested in me and/or vice versa. Just because I do mention his name and he mentions my name to other people does not necessarily mean that we are an item (urgh. I hate that word).

Puh-lease. Spare me. Just because we hang out together at times and have meaningful or senseless conversations together does not necesarrily mean that we are "it". He's a really good friend of mine, nothing more, nothing less.

What's wrong with being good friends with a guy???

Gah. RAR.
Argh.

Stupid.

Got our advisory marks today.

Gah.

I'm failing MATH. :((

I'm surviving the rest.

Someone help me.


***

Me: Aaaahhh..Ayoko na!!! Magpapaka-nerd na talaga ako. I will become a hermit and have ZERO social life. Titira ako sa may bundok at magiging best friends ko ang mga libro. Hindi na ako magYYM at magtetext. Magiging taong bundok ako.

Uana: AL, hindi yan gumagana. I tried that nung fourth year ako and lalo pa akong nadepress.

(so much for living the life of a hermit and trying to keep my grades up. haha)

***

Thanks to Margaret Michelle, Joanna Christine, Katrina Mae, Kamaira Joyce, Nathaniel Rhett, Jefferson Wilfredo, Nina Isabella, Mara Karissa, and the rest of my blockies for trying to cheer me up. *hugz*

I'm sooo disappointed with myself. I just have too high expectations and I feel frustrated whenever I don't meet my expectations. I know I can do better. Argh. Why am I SLACKING OFF??? Why am I so GRADE CONSCIOUS???? *sigh*

Rar.

I need some sabaw.

Jaime Niccolo, sorry hindi kita pinansin kanina.
Alam mo naman kung bakit.
Magparamdam ka naman diyan, o.
I NEED YOOOOOOUUUUUU!!! I need SABAW!!! =(

Don't Be Afraid

Huwag Kang Matakot by Eraserheads

Huwag kang matakot
'Di mo ba alam nandito lang ako
Sa iyong tabi
'Di kita pababayaan kailanman
At kung ikaw ay mahulog sa bangin
Ay sasaluhin kita

CHORUS 1
Huwag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot

Huwag kang matakot
Dahil ang buhay mo'y walang katapusan
Makapangyarihan ang pag-ibig
Na hawak mo sa iyong kamay
Ikaw ang Diyos at hari ng iyong mundo
Matakot sila sa 'yo

[Repeat CHORUS 1 except last line]

CHORUS 2
Huwag kang matakot na magmukhang tanga
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot sa hindi mo pa makita
Kasama mo naman ako
Huwag kang matakot
Aahhhah

[Repeat CHORUS 1]

Huwag kang matakot (huwag kang matakot)
'Di kita pababayaan kailanman
[Repeat till fade]

(Theme song daw ng Sabaw™ Family (ayon kay MM). Nix, MM, kanta tayo. ahahaha :P)

What Dreams May Come
Horoscope for the Day:

"Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water .... Fortunately for you, a good friend comes along and points out that it's still teeming with (metaphorically, of course) sharks. Thank them for their help.

Speak frankly with someone whom you trust. You'll see a change.

Big ideas abound. You're feeling inspired and ready to change your life -- and possibly the world while you're at it. (Hey, why not? You're a pretty industrious type.) Rather than worry about implementing all these theories right away, take some time to mull them over. Let your mind feel free to explore all the avenues of possibility rather than trying to set boundaries and solidify plans right away. Make sure you have a pen to write everything down."

-->Harhar..*sigh*


***

Dreams, they say, are the works of our subconscious mind. Dreams are sometimes parallel to the world around us.  Dreams, they say, consist of our deepest desires. They may either be pleasant or disturbing. People often say that dreams are the exact opposite of reality. Whatever we dream of while we sleep is the exact opposite of the reality we are living in.

Hold that thought and ponder about it for a moment.

If that's so true, if dreams are exactly the opposite of reality, if dreams are merely conjured by our subconscious minds, then why are my dreams so..well...different?

For the past few weeks, I've been having the same dream all over again. Well, the settings differ from time to time, but the essence and the theme of my dreams are basically the same. I'm beginning to wonder why I've been having that same dream for weeks. It's disturbing. I know I shouldn't really mind it since dreams don't really mean anything (but then again, whenever I dream of someone dying, that person ends up dead--literally). In my dreams, I would often see this good friend of mine in pain--hurt, sad, and here I am standing next to that person, unsure of how to comfort that person.

Gah.

Why do I keep having that dream???

Scared out of my wits
We'll be getting our advisory marks next week.

I am so scared.

I am sooooooo scared.

I've been slacking off.

I need to straighten out my life.

What's going on with me? All of a sudden (I think) I'm flunking EVERYTHING. From being an A to B+ student in High School, I am currently hanging by a thread, balancing my C's and D's (and probably F's). Argh. I hate myself for having low grades. I dunno..it's just that I have been accustomed to getting high grades back in high school, and now, I'm totally slacking off. I need to become a SUPER NERD and ditch my social life. *sigh* This sucks. Advisory marks pa naman sa Monday. Gah.

I need some sabaw.

I need my Sabaw Family.

I need R3.

I need YOU.

Lord, help me get through this.

Basta Ikaw Lord, Basta Ikaw...

Sagala ng mga Sikat
My block was part of the "tanods" for the "Sagala ng mga Sikat" Filipino thingy earlier. It was SO boring, but standing along Fr. Masterson Drive for about 2 hours doing nothing would be well worth the "A" I will (hopefully) receive from Sir Aris.

Happy Birthday Jon!!!

***

Before the Sagala, my vain blockies and I took lotsa pictures and sang ala Broadway. It was SUPER fun. Check out almost everyone's multiply. XD


Basang Sisiw (minus Guido). Nasty Nats is cross-eyed

ICA Girls plus Re-An

Me, KatD and MM

***
Here are my random thoughts on the Sagala:

-OMG. Bro totally looked like a politican (er..scratch that. mukha kang tatay) when he was all dressed up for the Sagala (theirs was "Ibong Adarna" and he was the narrator--I think:D).

-Damn. I didn't see S2's float/arc.

-OMG. Were those peeps wearing ICA skirts??? (Bev, bagay ka maging madre...haha peace!) No wonder the skirts that the "nuns" were wearing looked familiar. ahahahahaha

-Bea sooooo suits the role of Maria Clara. Blockmates pala ni Bea sina Greg (*ahem* Yvette *ahem*) and Jen? Asteeg. :P

-I LOVE the guys at the Markova arc. They're so--gay.

-Darna! WTF???

-I'm hungry. I wanna go home.

-Can we go home now?

-Really? We can all leave? Weeeeeeeeee.........


***

I wanted to watch the performances of the various groups, but then I had to go home already. Awww...the Sagala thing seemed like fun. Too bad.

P.S. I miss playing with the bow and arrow. S2, akin nalang!!! haha :P joke!

***

Despite feeling sick and nauseous before ES (thanks Kev and Bro for caring), the day turned out to be okay. I think I felt sick cos I was stressed out from yesterday's TWO COMSECUTIVE midterms and I wasn't really happy on how I did for the Math test. I'm gonna cry if I receive an F. =(

I LOVE my blockmates. They make me happy and crazy. Thank you so much R3. Thank you so much for agreeing to sing with me "A Whole New World" and other Disney songs. Thank you for making me laugh in order to make me feel better. Thank you for all those wacky photoshoots, sing-alongs, jokes, bonding sessions, etc. Thank you Denis and Uana for our bonding session during the morning. Thank you Nats and Ian for making me a "good ES student" and for the little "memorial" you guys did for me. Thank you R3 for EVERYTHING. Most importantly, thank you for being yourselves. I love you guys!

I LOVE my Sabaw Family. Thank you Kamaira Joyce and Margaret Michelle for the hugs and the laughs. Thank you Jaime Niccolo for the laughs, for the understanding and words of encouragement. I'd be lost without you guys. *hugz* You made me the crazy A.L. everyone has come to know and love. Bro and Sis, thank you for your messages in our "little secret" work of art. haha *hugz*. Kamaira Joyce, I laff you.

Choco makes me Loco.
Haha..I was hyper today--again. :D Blame it on the chocolate rush. >.<

I started the day with yet another "broadway" musicale with Ian and Maika. Weeeeeee....
I LOVE Disney songs. I LOVE singing 'em all. There's just something magical about Disney songs. They bring back fond memories and make me happy. ES Classmates, let's sing tomorrow! :D Weeeee...

I think Moco, Gabs and CJ got sorta weirded out when the three of us suddenly burst into song. Haha :D Ian and Maika suggested that we have a block "choir"/band a la S Club 7--we could call ourselves "R Club 28". haha =)

Ian and KatD were still encouraging me to do theatre acting/broadway. I wanna do musicals and theatre acting for fun and not for professional reasons. I just don't like the formality of being a part of a broadway musical and stuff. I'm happy with the way things are.

***

Due to MM's depression, I finally had the chance to draw again. Weeee....I miss using my colored pencils. It's such a shame that we don't have portfolio entries anymore unlike backin high school wherein I use my colored pencils to draw and color. Thanks Ehm Ehm ;) I'm glad you like my artwork for you. :D *huggies*

Can't wait for tomorrow--I will be doing tons more artwork/caricatures for my other blockies. Weeeeeee....Alabyu guys! :P


***

We had our taekwondo midterms earlier today.
Too bad I sorta felt sick, nauseous, and dizzy right before the test. Chocolate wasn't really helping me then, but Nix did help me calm my nerves (bounce bounce bounce kick kick kick tralalalalala weeeeee...sabaw sabaw hindi lang ako yung sabaw ^_^). While anticipating our turn, Kev, Onion and I sang songs to ease our nerves (Tayo na sa sineskwela....:P). Weeeee....Ang daming tao dun sa martial arts center--nakakahiya!!!! XD

Damn. I dunno how I fared. During the one-leg-kick test thingy, I sorta felt a vein in my left leg get
out of place. I dunno how to describe it--it sorta twitched or something. Argh. Because of that, i stopped for a moment and was unable to do a series of kicks. I felt really bad on how I performed during the test--really. Nix was watching the whole "tournament" and he said that I performed well. I think he was just saying that to cheer me up. Oh, well. Thanks, bro. >:D< For the math LT (weee...I passed), for the words of encouragement...for everything. Thanks twinnie (btw, gaya gaya..same kulay ulit ng 2 shirts natin today ah. ahahahaha joke! :P peace!).

I sorta pitied those people who had their Math midterms from 6-8pm but were unable to start on time cos they weren't finished with the Taekwondo midterms. Some of them didn't even have time to change into regular clothes, so they took the Math midterm exam wearing their Taekwondo uniforms.

I don't really know how I fared in the Math exam. I didn't have any time to study--at all.
I hope I get a decent grade.
I hope I ace it. (as if)
I hope...

Belated Happy Birthday to Mich and Margaret! :P
Happy Birthday Yvette! :D
