Bakit ba ganyan?

Heto ka na naman
Kumakatok sa aking pintuan
Muling naghahanap ng makakausap
At heto naman ako
Nakikinig sa mga kwento mong
Paulit-ulit lang
Nagtitiis kahit nasasaktan

Ewan kung bakit ba
Hindi ka pa nadadala
Hindi ba't kailan lang ng ika'y iwanan niya
At ewan ko nga sa'yo
Parang bale wala ang puso ko
Ano nga bang meron siya
Na sa akin ay 'di mo makita

Kung ako na lang sana ang iyong minahal
Di ka na muling mag-iisa

Kung ako na lang sana ang iyong minahal
Di ka na muling luluha pa
Di ka na mangangaliangan pang
Humanap ng iba
Narito ang puso ko
Naghihintay lamang sa'yo

Heto pa rin ako
Umaasang ang puso mo
Baka sakali pang ito'y magbago
Narito lang ako
Kasama mo buong buhay mo
Ang kulang nalang
Mahalin mo rin akong lubusan

-Kung Ako Na Lang Sana by Bituin Escalante

It's a sad, sad song. =( That's the thing with being a girl and falling in love. She has to wait and wait for the guy to make a move. If he does, well..GREAT. But if he doesn't...her heart would be broken. =( How would a girl know if a guy likes her as more than a friend ? Why does the girl have to do all the waiting? Why is love so complicated, so confusing? How come we're all blinded by love that we fail to see that the people who really matter are the people who were always there for us all along?

***

Was in a sorta emo mood today after reading and analyzing OPM lyrics for Filipino class. The one posted above is one of those songs. *sigh* Being in love is so...complicated. Remind me not to read any more sawing pag-ibig OPM lyrics. My day became depressing because of that. Uana, Maika and I got really emotional whilst listening to senti/bitter/heartbreaking songs. haha :P Enjoyed gurl talk with Maika and Nash. Nash, you RAWK. ahahahaha :P

Congratulations, AL, for apparently being voted as the most hopeless romantic person of Block R3. haha

I feel so empty--this feeling I can't hide
Life is incomplete without you by my side

***

Damn. I have to work on my Fil11 paper today (Le Gasp! It's due tomorrow!).
Gonna watch "Sinta" tomorrow night--which means I won't be OL tomorrow night. Aww..

I have always loved.
I have always loved Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It's probably my most favorite play of all time. Nothing beats swooning over the lines of the play (http://www.xenith.net/headquarters/sq_1.shtml) and listening to "Gemini" on the radio to drown my sorrows away. I feel much much much better now compared to yesterday's mood. Maybe it's because I was too frustrated, too uptight and too problematic about things that should not be problematized. I let myself be frustrated over the ES presentation, my taekwondo class, and most importantly, my Filipino LT.

I guess I felt like I was drowning in despair. I couldn't really think straight. My mind was messed up, my eyes were tired from all the crying--I was a wreck yesterday. I felt like I was in a sinking ship with no one to hold on to. Maybe all I needed was a good cry.

I'm certainly most lucky and blessed to have such great blockmates who were there to support me throughout my ordeal and frustrations towards myself. Thanks a bunch you guys! *hugz*

Heya peeps! Don't forget to watch "Mel and Joey" in GMA 7 on October 2, 2005 at 8pm. Apparently, I'm gonna be in it! haha :P Ehrm, it just so happened that the GMA crew went to AdMU to get footage on one of Queena Lee-Chua's classes--and it just so happened that that "lucky" class was ours! haha :D Laughtrip sobra. The whole class was camera conscious, most especially those who recited and did board work (the camera man was practically all over the place!). haha :D Who knew that being an Atenista could be filled with media exposure and publicity? haha:P Kailangan nandun ako sa show--kundi, ewan. haha :D Pero isipin mo lang, ilang beses finocus ng camera man yung camera sa mukha ko kaya kailangan nandyan ako sa film footage. Weh. >.<

***

Marami talagang namamatay sa maling akala. Trust me on this. It's my newest motto. I can't keep on jumping into conclusions and theorize about non-existent stuff--I could end up killing myself with misconceptions about everything and anything else. Harhar.

I sooo need to get a life.
I'm living in despair.
Save me.
I need you...

You won't get to see the tears I cry... =(
I can't go on like this. I can't go on suffering from emotional breakdowns. I can't break down and cry again--I just can't. Too many tears have been shed for today. My eyes are all puffy from crying.
The first term hasn't ended yet, but my life is going downhill all too soon. =(

Dear Friend,
         I know that it was sort of awkward during and after ES Lec, after I allowed you guys to take our place in the presentation. You asked me if it was okay with me. I told you that it was. Honestly, I wasn't quite sure, but I let that feeling slip away. I knew how much it meant for you guys to report your presentation cos you were so prepared. All of you guys were in semi-formal garbs, and you were making some touch-ups in your presentation before ES Lec. I know you guys were excited, and when I told you guys that according to the group report sequence, you weren't supposed to report today, well..you should've seen the crestfallen look on your faces. You know that I'm the kind of person who hates seeing a friend sad, to the point that I'll sacrifice my own happiness for your sake. Maybe that's why I feel so miserable at this moment. It's because though I slept late last night and failed to completely study for my Filipino LT just to finish the presentation I was supposed to report today, I gave it all up for you. I don't blame you for the tears I've cried. I blame myself for it, for being this kind of person. I hate myself for being too nice, too compassionate, too much of a martyr. I don't really regret making that decision. Looking at the brighter side of things, my group could make our presentation for Thursday's meeting way better than the one we've prepared for today. In the same sense, at least you guys are done with your presentations--I'm happy for you. I guess the tears I've shed after class were mostly comprised of my inner frustrations and disappointments with myself. I'm not mad at you. I don't hate you. I never could hate you. I'm simply frustrated with myself. I have to be strong for my own sake. Maybe if I sleep on it, I'll be fine by tomorrow. I guess I posted this entry to relieve myself of things that have been bottled up inside me. I wasn't able to speak to you about this, so I feel like there wasn't any "closure" to unresolved mixed feelings in the midst of the awkwardness of the situation. I hope you understand what I'm going through. If not, you could always ask me. :(

I'm sinking into this unknown abyss
I'm drowning in a sea of tears
Someone hold me and never let go
Help me cope with all of my fears.


***
Thank you Denis, MM, and Jeff. Thanks for being there for me when I broke down in tears. Hindi ko na nakayanan...ES thing plus yung sa taekwondo pa.. =(

Math study consultation with Queena Lee-Chua tomorrow morning at 6:45am. Gah. MAAAATTTHHH.

A Little Thing called LOVE
"A girl falls in love with a boy because he listens to her when she speaks, and remembers what she said a month ago. Love is sparked by the little things--the quiet word, the gesture of compassion, the look."
--Fr. James B. Reuter, SJ

(taken from MM who got it from Gabbie..haha :P)

***

Had BK (block kwentuhan) over lunch today at Manang's like any other typical Monday. Who knew my blockies had so many frustrations on love and the like? Who knew that during the ACET one year ago, our paths had crossed without us being fully aware of it? haha :D Block lunch was especially fun when Guido started playing his flute-trombone-saxophone-watchamacallit with everyone singing along, and Maika and I swooning over "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World." haha :P

***

I wrote this poem for *eheMM*, but since it seems like a lot more people need it for reflection or something, I decided to put it up in here with some minor tweaks/revisions in the poem:

Questions
My heart says "yes", my head says "no"
I really don't know which one to follow
A raging inner struggle consumes my soul
Tormented, I just want to feel whole.

My heart tells me that I love you
My mind doubts whether this is true
My heart simply wants to tell you all
My mind fears that could be my fall.

I'm so confused, I'm not sure why
Should I speak the truth or should I live a lie?
Why am I forcing myself to feel this way?
Why is it so hard for these feelings to fade away?

Do I really want more than friendship from you?
Will I regret not taking that chance my whole life through?
Answers to these questions, I wish I could find
Then maybe, just maybe, life would be kind.

***

Nabadtrip ako. I thought this day would turn out to be a good one, pero hindi eh.
To think I thought na ok na kami. Yun pala hindi. Plastik na tao pala siya. Bakit ba siya ganun? Hindi ko siya maintindihan. Akala ko na naintindihan niya ako--pero hindi. Hinusgahan niya ako. Akala ko pa naman na kaibigan ko siya.

Kailangan ko ng sabaw para sumaya ako. =(

I'm dreading T-Th..I used to love those two days pa naman. =(

Di Bale Nalang
Di Bale Na Lang - Gary Valenciano

Minsan sabi niya sa akin
Sandali na lang
Akala ko naman ay sigurado na ako
Handa kong tanggapin ang kanyang oo
Bigla na lang nagbago ang isip niya
Hindi ko akalain na gano'n pala siya
Pinaasa niya lang ako
Bitin na bitin ako
Oooh woh

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Ngayon araw-araw lumilipas ang panahon
Kalimutan ko siya'y malayo sa isip ko
Di kaya, pinaikot niya lang ako
Bigla na naman nagbago ang isip niya
Pagkakataon ko na mapasagot ko siya
Pag ang sinabi ko'y di mabili
Baka mapahiya muli

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Bakit ka naman ganyan
Ano pa ba kayang paraan
Pero kung kailangan mo naman ako
Agad akong tumatakbo

Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Bitin na bitin ako
oh...oh...oh

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Di bale na lang
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooooh

(This song actually got stuck in my head after watching the MTV Pilipinas 2005 on television)

Trip down memory lane
I was browsing through my past blog entries when I found myself smiling. It's kinda funny how about a year ago I was problematizing on the ACET, hoping that I could pass AdMU and here I am, one year later, studying in AdMU. Hover your mouse over the links and click on them to read my past entries on the ACET:
http://bluekingdom.blogdrive.com/archive/76.html
http://bluekingdom.blogdrive.com/archive/78.html
http://bluekingdom.blogdrive.com/archive/131.html

Then I saw this entry about my "ideal guy". Laughtrip nito sobra. I wrote this entry during my senior year in high school. Haiz..those were the HS days...haha:P

Read on:

Some Qualities of My Ideal Guy
1. Must be taller than me
2. Must like Ragnarok, theSims, or any other fun PC or RPG game
3. Must have a great sense of humor, a great conversationalist
4. Must be gentlemanly. :D
5. Must like drawing/sketching, watching TV, surfing the net, cooking, writing poetry OR ADMU :P.
6. Must know how to dance
7. Must be punctual
8. Knows a lot of fun stuff but isn't a KIA (know-it-all)
9. Can sing
10. ehrm..???

(That was written way back in High School. Til now pa kaya? Hmm...dunno...)

Damn I'm crying.
I'm teary-eyed, my nose is running...

Gah.

I dunno. I just woke up with tears in my eye (take note: EYE) and a runny nose. My eye is red for no apparent reason. Maybe I poked it while I was sleeping or something. Rar. Now I'm "crying" for no reason at all and I've got a cold and a sore throat too. Wah :(

You know what's so fun about reading horoscopes? It's the thrill of anticipating whether what was predicted under your sign would come true or not. The funny thing is, most of the time I can actually relate to my horoscope.

My Horoscope yesterday:
"Shift the emphasis from 'me' to 'we' right now, especially when it comes to an increasingly important work partnership or love relationship. It's a prime time to really deepen connections and get beyond any superficial differences of opinion. The more you're willing to give, the more you're likely to get, so go ahead and invest all you can. Take advantage of this celestial window to really bond with each other.
Don't keep your worries bottled up -- tell your friends. They'll be compassionate.
Be more open about your secret hopes and dreams. You might find that someone you never suspected shares the same wishes. Once you realize you have a potential partner, your load looks light to carry."

(The question now is : "WHO'S THE OTHER ONE--THAT POTENTIAL PARTNER?" Did it come true yesterday? hahaha I think not.)

My Horoscope for today:
"Your grip on reality may not be quite as firm as it has been in the past. While this fires you up in the creative realm (and may give you some inspiration for finding a solution for a long-standing problem), it's not a great time for risky business when it comes to love or money. No matter how sure-fire a scheme or a prospect seems, if you jump in without thinking, you may live to regret it. Err on the side of caution, and then err on that side some more.
You think you can get more done alone, but it's not true. Reach for a helping hand.
Need to figure out an exit strategy? Why not run it by one of your closest pals? Not only do they know you inside and out, but they'll be able to bring their own unique point of view to help you cover any patchy spots."

(Is this about the ES presentations, perhaps?)

MAC and cheese
It was raining hard today.
My shoes, socks and pants got soaked in the rain this morning.
I was walking around campus with soaking and squishy shoes. Bleh.
Rain, rain, go away...
Boo.

Oh well...at least I got to see MAC today (yes, again). It's funny how before I used to be infatuated with him but I rarely got the chance to see him and now that I'm no longer crushing on him, I see him everywhere. haha :D

I'm too lazy to blog.

I hate it when it rains.

I get sentimental, poetic and/or gloomy (the heavens are cryings), not to mention I space out in deep thought.
Boo.


***

My sister's ACET is tomorrow! Good luck to all ACET test-takers! My advice to you guys in taking the test is to shade anything. If you're meant to pass AdMU, then it's meant to be. I think I doodled (shaded whatever) during the time I took my ACET a year ago. haha :P

I feel like such a horrible friend.
I really do.

We were having a sparring practice in taekwondo class today when my shin accidentally hit my friend's toes during the sparring match. Her middle toe got dislocated (and my shin got bruised), and we had to rush to the infirmary (good thing the PE teachers were there). It kinda sucked cos today was her eighteenth birthday and she had plans after school. I ruined her birthday..all because of a stupid sparring practice round. Gah. If you could only imagine how horrible I felt then. :( I know it's not my fault, but somehow I feel responsible. Gah. Taekwondo...Gah!!!!

Thanks Sir Aris, MM, Jeff, Denis, Von, KatCo, and Mong for comforting me.
Pat, I hope you're doing fine.
I am so sorry.
You know I am. :(


P.S. I should definitely take a PE class that doesn't require any aggressive or violent behavior. =(
      I've got loads of bruises and my muscles are aching due to taek. haha
      ..I need a hug.

Always one of the boys plus a random poem ^o^
(Stalker guy, please leave me alone! I do not want to be your soulmate. I already have one--Maika! ahahaha But seriously speaking, leave me alone..please?)

Today was great! haha..ehrm..so where do I begin?

VOTE BOBBY FOR MR. SOM. Maika, Bobby, and I went around the caf this morning, soliciting votes (one peso per vote) for Bobby. I wanna personally thank Nix, Duo, Moco, Gabs, Ian, MM, Erwin, Ralf, Maika's friends, Bobby's friends, and all those whom I failed to mention for "voting" for Bobby. I love you guys!

MAAAAAAAAATH. I passed the Math LT but I was unsatisfied with my score. I really need to study for math or I'm gonna flunk this course. Bah Humbug. Someone help me. :O
P.S. I think my English teacher still thinks we're in Merit English. Rar.

MASS WITH MAIKA. I went to Mass after Maika invited me to go. I saw her sitting in one corner with a frown on her face. When she saw me, her face practically lit up. That smile on her face certainly made my day, knowing that I was there for her when she needed someone to be there. I try to make it a habit to make my friends smile. :D I laff you dear Kamaira!

BASKETBALL BLUES. I watched Nix and Jeff's bball game. Jeff's team won courtesy of ES classmate Nico who's SUPER GOOD. I dunno whether to feel happy or sad cos Jeff's team won and Nix's team lost. Life is ironic. haha :D Basta Nix, like what I've said earlier, you played well today (no joke) and kahit talo kayo sa game 7, alam mo naman na you'll always be my TAEKWONDO IDOL. haha *hugz*

ONE OF THE GUYS. I played bball with Nix, Jeff, Denis, Lean, and this guy (from MAC ba sya?). Weee...it was fun! :D It's probably my first time to play an actual game of bball (haha loser ba?) and trying to shoot some hoops during a game (not like in practice mode). I teamed up with Jeff and Denis versus Nix and company. My team won by one point (8-7)! Yay! ahahaha :D Ang labo pero masaya (*ahem* to Nix and Lean...ladies first ^o^).  I can proudly say that I contributed two points in the game and did several assists, rebounds and ball steals. Weeeeeeeee........haha I'm truly one of the guys na nga. Does anyone still see me as a girl? haha :P I hope so--if not I'm gonna start suffering from certain gender issues haha:P

AMA MALL 2005. Bonded with Tin, Keit, Wits, and Diana in the Kostka Extension whilst waiting for interested parties to apply for stalls in the upcoming AMA Mall. Wits' remarks were very...WITTY. hahaha :P To all interested people, feel free to drop by the Kostka Extension to inquire on the AMA Mall application thingie.

RANDOM POEM. I made a random poem. Don't ask. Just read. Thank you :D

In Denial

I try to deny my feelings for you
I try to shun them all away
But you're all I ever think about--
Why are you making me feel this way?

Sometimes I think I'm better off
Living in this lie
Acting like everything's normal
Too afraid to break down and cry.

Sometimes I think I'm better off
Without you by my side
But when you're not there I'm missing you--
This feeling I just can't hide.

Deep in my heart I wish you knew
That I've finally fallen--I'm crazy for you.

All the laughter and tears and memories shared
All those times together, every single bit..
With each passing day I've come to realize
You're what makes my life simply...complete.
