Yeah, it didn't.

It was raining hard this morning, and I was hanging out in the caf with Jelai, Moco, Bobby, Maika, and Marc. I enjoyed their company and all that, but I was feeling under the weather. I dunno..it was like something was missing. It's probably the weather...I dunno. I surely hope that it's because of the weather...*sigh*

I'm currently at the CTC complab cos we had don't have classes for ES lab and ES lec today. I only have 2 classes: Taekwondo and Filipino in the afternoon. Ralf, Cay, Jeff, and the rest invited me to go out with them and eat lunch somewhere in Katips. I really didn't feel like going, so here I am alone in CTC, typing away this very entry.

Did you know?
I recently found out that Yael from Spongecola used to like Maika's friend.
I also found out that "Jeepney" was written by a guy, FOR a guy.
Fascinating...ahahahahaha

ES groupmates, where are you guys? We have to finish our project within the week! :O
Wah.

How You Live Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You say whatever is on your mind. Other people's reactions don't phase you. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

OMG. I saw my ex-happy crush today. haha :D I was by myself, attending to the registration area for the ACTM Entrep Challenge (after MM, Kriselda, Ginny, and Abi left to attend class or do some stuff) when MAC finally came up to me to register/sign-in. I was feeling kilig at the moment cos for one thing, he was my ex-crush, and another thing, he was my very first "client" (read: first person to sign-up during my shift). He even went to me to sign-in and sign-out FOUR TIMES on separate occasions. I was kilig all over the place! haha :P What more pa kung happy crush ko pa rin sya diba? Unfortunately, he's no longer my crush. haha :P Weee...anyway, he still sorta made my day...HAPPY. ahahaha :P

Who knew that being part of ACTM('s Finance department) could be so much fun? I bonded with MM, Denis, Abi, Ginny, Kynan, Mico, and everyone else. Enjoyed bonding with you guys! Thanks for all the laughs and for Kynan and his ice cream cake attempts. :P Laughtrip kayong lahat. :D

Cali + Ice Cream Cake + Loadsa Pictures for ACTM Documentation + MAC guy = FUN

Weeeeeeeee......

We had our math LT earlier and I wasn't so sure on how I fared in the test. Oh, well..at least I got to see MAC today. Weh. :P I'm not in love with anyone at the moment. Might as well try to feel giddy with seeing MAC today. harhar :D Someone find me a new happy crush! ;))

You Are a Carnation

You are down to earth and grounded. You tend to be more traditional than trendy. Your confidence gets you through anything. People trust you and are very loyal to you.

I was malling with my family, looking for possible designs/utensils/etc for the supposed remodelling of our kitchen annex. As I was looking around, I realized that I when I finally have a house to call my own (read: once I get married and have a family of my own), I want a REALLY BIG kitchen where I can cook lots of stuff. I dunno..I just love cooking. I love the taste, the colors, the aroma...EVERYTHING about cooking. I'm planning on having a major cooking spree this sembreak. Weeee...it's something to look forward to. ^_- I want a gigantic kitchen for me to cook in (and I mean GIGANTIC) teeheehee. ^o^

Last week was weird. I mean, people had misconceptions ("maling akala") about me and everything else around me, which I found somewhat amusing.

Maling Akala #1 : The Best Friend
a) Ria: Best friends ba kayong dalawa? (pertaining to me and MM)
b) Kamae: (to MM) Bakit hindi kayo magkatabi ni AL? Nag-away ba kayo?
c) Nix: Ah..hindi ba kayo best friends?

(haha..well..everyday is an MMAL/ALMM day! haha If you're looking for AL, look for MM and vice versa. :P)


Maling Akala #2 : The Boyfriend
a) KatD: I saw your guy today. Ang cute niya. If you guys get married and have kids, they'd all be pretty.
b) Mong: Ba't kasi ayaw mo nang aminin? Deny ka pa dyan eh. Tingnan mo si Kris Aquino at si James Yap. Deny sila ng deny tas ngayon ikakasal na sila.

(haha ang kulit talaga ng mga tao. As if naman para kaming sina Kris Aquino and James Yap?? hahahaha..at tama si Maycee. If I were to fall in love, I wanna make sure that the other person is falling for me too para masaya :P)


Maling Akala #3 : The Ateneo Course
a) GJ: Anong course mo? Wait..Management Honors ba?
b) Someone passing by in Mateo Ricci: Excuse me, but are you from MIS?

(nakakatawa..napagkamalan pa akong Mgt-H and MIS. haha :D)

I recently had a chat with one of my good friends on love and falling in love. He said, "I wonder when the right persons would come for us no?"-- and that's when I realized that I shouldn't be afraid to fall in love. When will I know if he's Mr. Right? I dunno...cos if I knew the answer to that, I would've found Mr. Right long ago.

It's stupid to be afraid of falling in love and then say that love is what drives us to be the best persons we can be. It's stupid to always search for "the one" without knowing that "the one" I've been looking/waiting for all of my life could just be that someone who was right here all along.

I'm tired of searching. I'm tired of being afraid. I guess in the end, the risk I would take in falling in love would be well worth it. All the heartaches, pains, and fears would be well worth it. So I guess here I am, taking a chance on love, patiently waiting under its wings. When the time comes for my love story to be written, then I'd be ready to welcome it with open arms. Right now, all I have to do is sit back, relax, and let nature take its course. (haha I'm a hopeless romantic, I know I am..so I have to know first whether the guy likes me before I can say if I like him too. haha)

I found myself looking back at my past poems, and I found these lines to be somewhat relevant to what I'm feeling right now.

There's definitely someone out there who's meant for me.
Maybe he's thinking of me...
The same way I'm thinking of him...

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. You give and take equally in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

current song: "Gemini" by Spongecola (yes, it still is. I LOVE the song)

come a little closer 
flicker in flight
we'll have about an inch's space
but i'm here i can breathe in
what you breathe out

let me know if i'm doing this right
let me know if my grip's too tight
let me know if i can stay all of my life
let me know if dreams can come true
let me know if this one's your's too
coz' i see it
and i feel it right here
and i feel you right here

the vacuous night
steps aside to give meaning 
to gemini's dreaming
the moon on its back
and the seemingly
veiled room's lit
by the same star.

Hell Week next week. Expect ZERO social life from me. :(

Sentimental music can make you feel weird.
You know what? For some strange reason, I can actually relate to this song...

Goo Goo Dolls
Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Thanks to MM, Charles, Mong, Uana, Kei, Sophie, and Jeff for making our BK...memorable.
I'm still the queen of all things edible. ahahaha :P

I think I'm afraid to fall in love
Ironically, I'm a hopeless romantic
I just don't think I can stand the pain
Of losing trust and feeling pathetic.

I'll admit that I've never been in love
Though happy crushes come my way
But somehow I just can't find
The right person I'd like to stay.

I guess I've lived most of my life
Searching for "the one"
But then again my heart hesitates
Before anything's been said and done.

I'm afraid of living in a fairytale
Where everything's perfect as it seems
I fear one day I'll wake up and realize
That it was nothing but a dream.

Someday, I pray, my prince will come
And chase away that fear inside me
Someone, I pray, will I give my heart
For he shall set me free.

He'll set me free from any doubts
Of falling in love for the first time
He'll make me feel so safe and loved
It wouldn't matter if words run out of rhyme.

At this moment my heart's unfree
Beating to the tune of my soul
Hoping and praying someone out there
Would finally make me whole.

"Especially For You" is probably MY song of the day. I mean, I've been singing/humming/listening to the song since the start of the morning in the caf, to lunch at Manang's and finally during AMA bonding sessions in Matteo in the afternoon. Tralalalalala...it definitely brings out the hopeless romantic in me. haha Uana..RAWR:P

Today was a fun day (notice how I usually start off my blog entries with this statement? I dunno..life has been great so far!).

Lab was supposed to be a boring period. We were supposed to have our oral reports, but with the help of amazing labmates and a bottle of Off! Mosquito Repellant Lotion, Lab became FUN. :P

It all started with MM telling me to bring her Off! Lotion to Lab so that I can put some Off! on Nix. I went to lab and told Nix that MM said that I needed to put some lotion on him. He was like, "No! I don't like putting on lotions." I was like, "Fine. But just watch out cos I may just put some Off! on you." Harhar. When Nix, Ian and I were hanging out outside the classroom, I asked Ian if he wanted some Off!. He said that he didn't want any. I tried putting some on him, but he managed to avoid the Off! lotion. He told me that he's ALWAYS on the lookout and that I can NEVER put lotion on him. Well, guess what? I outsmarted him. Nyahahaha :P He said it was unfair cos I was taking up taekwondo classes that's why my reflexes are so quick. Ian got some Off! off his skin and put it on Nix. Nix, in return, put some Off! on my skin then he ran to the greenhouse area like a little mischievous kid. Rar. I still had my revenge and put some Off! on him again (haha..it's like we're making use of the Off! Lotion leftovers on our skins). I ran and hid inside the classroom (teeheehee). Unbeknownst to me, Nix was there and he sorta tickled me in the ribs while he put some Off! on me. Rar. I did have my sweet revenge though...I went to him and put some Off! on him. haha :P (sorry nalang kay MM na nadamay ang Off! Mosquito Repellant Lotion mo). Afterwards, we stopped fooling around (pahinga muna. haha :D). haha Fun lab moment. At the end of Lab, we both smelled of Off! and while we were eating lunch together (in my Filipino classroom which was vacant at that time..haha), I could still smell the Off! Lotion. (the smell won't go away..haha :P)

Krissa, I love you. haha :D

Uana, wag makulit. How was YOUR LAB? hehe :P

***

As usual, Filipino class was crazy. I love my blockies. They make the boring classes lively and fun. haha :P

***
There was this Impeachment rally assembly thing this morning. While Nix and I were in the caf to buy our food, the people going to the rally at Batasan stormed into the caf with loudspeakers, asking the students to join in the rallly. It was SCARY. Promise. Maybe it's because I felt like these student-protestors looked a lot like deranged juveniles or something. Basta, super scary nila. haha (yuck, conyo...).

There's a heavy flow of traffic at the moment in the Katipunan-Commonwealth area because of the impeachment rally thing going on in Batasan. It's also raining hard outside. To Nix. Mong and all those people commuting to the Commonwealth area, ingatz! Hope you guys get to your homes safe and sound. Ang hirap talaga magcommute, lalo na kung ganito...

Game 5 na ng basketball game nila Nix, Jeff, Chols, Lean, and company. So far, the score's 3-1 best of seven. Nix, Chols, and Lean...magpatalo nalang kayo kila Jeff para may game 7. haha :P

***

Yay! We're almost done with the cafstands for the AMA Mall Rec Week thing. Weeeeee...............

Seriously, I think I am. For one thing, the tasks given to us by our professor are more than what is given to that of students in Regular English. She would often say "Bring out your En12 notebook" or "En12 homework for today". Hello? The last time I checked, my subject was En11. Another thing is that she recently gave us some reading homework to do. We're supposed to read the first two chapters of 'Pasyon and Revolution'. Our Lit teacher was surprised to see us possessing that book because according to her, that book isn't assigned to students until they're in En12. What the...?! I seriously think I am misplaced in English class. haha :P No wonder my English blockies are total smarties and that our professor has very high expectations from the class.

I just had a really embarassing moment earlier today. I was in the covcourts, peacefully sitting on one of the monoblock chairs when Krissa passed by and started teasing me about my so-called boyfriend. She was like, "Uy..AL..who're ya watching play?". I know she teases me about it and stuff, but she didn't have to say it out loud for the whole world to hear! I think I was traumatized because of that. For one thing, he isn't my boyfriend. He's a good friend of mine, nothing more, nothing less--so of course I was traumatized cos she was practically making it known to the whole world that this guy was my "boyfriend" when in fact he really isn't. I am still traumatized by it. Rar.


KatD: Is he your boyfriend?
