"Nag-aral ka na ba?"
Today was the last day of our first semester. Today was also the first day of FREEDOM. Weee...haha :D I don't know if I spent my day productively. I mean, call me fickle, but I decided not to take the ES test. I went to school only to hang out with Nix, clear out my locker, and leave something in the ADSA--and well, that's about it. Talk about "Hwat?!". ahahaha :D (Well, it was kinda nice for a change to have a discussion about certain things I wouldn't normally discuss with other people because they're either indifferent or they refuse to talk about that issue.)

Anyway, the first semester has finally come to an end. I won't probably be seeing any of my friends for about a month. I'll miss all you guys and gals, but I'll especially miss these two crazy(and pathetic) dearest friends of mine. Awww....


My sabaw partner for life. May sabaw be with us...FOREVER. :D
(psst..hindi ka naman mukhang bading eh...weh)



My boyprehm and phlehm *ehem ehem*. Aylabsyu...FOREVER :D


*pahabol*


And how could I ever forget my camwhore-slash-IPod buddies?

Wah..Nakakamiss...

Oh, well. At least now I can get a good night's sleep. No more paperwork from Lulu! ahahaha :P

***

Panalo Quotes of the day:

"Nag-aral ka na ba?"
Me asking Nix whether he studied for the ES finals. He never got the chance to during that very morning. Ang labo, dude. At paano tayo nakapunta sa usapang Martial Arts and Conyo-itis? haha :P

"Wow. Mukha kang Elven Princess."
Balucs commenting on my curly hair. Tsong, isang semestro na tayo magkasama at ngayon mo lang napansin na kulot ang aking buhok???? Weh.

"Talaga bang kulot ang iyong buhok? Swerte mo. Ako, kailangan ko pang magpakulot."
Cay asking me whether my hair was naturally curly or I curled it. FYI, natural curls lang talaga yan. Why do people ask me whether I curl my hair or not? Hindi ba halata na naturally curly-haired ako? :D


***

Watched "Corpse Bride" TWICE. Johnny Depp is soooo HOT even in animation. Ahahaha :D I really love those Tim Burton-Johnny Depp tandem films...

"I love you, Victor, but you are not mine..."

"Can a heart break once it has stopped beating?"

Sadness...

..but then again, that's love. If you love someone, you have to set him free, right? :o

Math is a wonderful thing...
...so goes the lyrics of the song from the motion picture, "School of Rock". It's a song Maika and I would often sing to comfort ourselves whenever D-day for Math exams would come. I've never liked Math. Truth be told, Math is my weakest subject. No matter how hard I tried to love the subject, it never loved me back. Sad, isn't it? Anyway, today was our Math finals. I don't exactly know how I fared, but I have a feeling that I did way better than my midterms. That mere fact consoles me. I just wish that my test result would be a pleasant sight to see (wait a minute. I WON'T be seeing my test score. Weee...:D). Thank goodness Math for this semester is FINALLY OVER! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! haha :P

***

After the Math Finals, Yayish, Patty, Quino, and I decided to go to the Manila Observatory to see the ES exemption results. Because Quino told us that he knew the quickest route to the Manila Observatory, we followed him--completely clueless on where he was taking us. After a few zigs and zags from CTC to the SOM Walk/Lovers' Lane, we ended up at the back of Mateo Ricci. Weh. We could've saved a whole lotta time if we passed by SEC Walk instead. harhar. :P Upon reaching the Manila Observatory, we learned that the exemption results would be posted at around 5-6pm today. Sir's computation of grades were delayed, so he told us that we could either wait until 6pm to see the exemption results OR we could just go back to the Manila Observatory first thing in the morning. Hassle sobra...

Yayish and I left Patty and Quino because we wanted to go home already. Bonded with Yayish in a tricycle until we reached the jeepney stop under the Katipunan flyover. Laughtrip. You know what I noticed S2 people have in common? It's that they may seem like quiet people, but when you actually get to know them, they're pretty kalog and makwento. Yech, conyo :D Weee...

It's raining outside. I hope Yayish reached her house before it rained...

***

SEMBREAK COUNTDOWN:
Three days to go til FREEDOM!
Awww...I don't want the sem to end yet...
Must have Kodak Moments with my first sem buddies...
Memories....
(Yech..I'm getting all sentimental in here--so sue me.)

P.S. Onga naman Mox, matagal na tayo magkasama wala tayong picture together during this sem--til kaninang umaga. Weh. :P

New Blog Layout!
Geez, AL. Your FINALS are coming up and you still have time to make a new layout for your blog, don't ya? Where's your sense of priority? (haha XD)

ABOUT THE LAYOUT:

Version 9.0 : A Stir of Emotions basically reflects what I feel at the moment. For the past few weeks I have been in an emotional rollercoaster, and now that the semester is about to end, I'll be missing a lot of important people in my life who have made my first semester a very memorable one indeed. I felt that my old blog layout was too fancy with so many unnecessary stuff here and there. My blog needed a change. It needed more details about ME as a person. Who knew that a simple blog layout was enough to satisfy me? I don't need colorful images, I don't need interactive stuff posted all over my blog. What I needed was...ME. I guess I lost that ME part when I made my blog all fancy. Now I'm stripping it bare, keeping the essentials and adding more stuff about ME. I'm not yet done with this layout. You could say that this is a makeshift layout--until my finals are over. I'll udpate this after a week or so, so stay tuned. ;)


***

I don't get it. Why do foreigners like taking pictures of me? I mean, two summers ago when my family and I were on a plane to France, an Air France steward took a picture of me, and now, when my family and I went to the Crowne Plaza to have lunch, some guy took a picture of me with his digicam. Huhwat?! It's kinda rude, really. But at the same time, I'm too shy to ask them why they bothered taking my picture...

***

*editted on October 10, 2005*

FINALS NA. I found out that I got an A in my ES Lab Finals and I got a B in Filipino as my pre-final grade. One point nalang...one point exempted na ako sa Filipino. Crikes. Von is sooo lucky to have all his classes (except for English) exempted. Von, idol kita! hahahaha :P I'll know tomorrow if I got exempted for ES Lec. I went to school to submit my Lit Paper and hang out with Mox and her MeCo blockies. Ehrm..ayun. So I basically wasted a whole day doing nothing. I should be studying for math. I really should. Gah. I don't know what I'm doing with my life at the moment...

Five days nalang..konting tiis nalang....

Caution: Hyperactive Walking Zombie
I slept for only TWO hours last night (or was it this morning?) because I had to finish my English paper. Crikes. The deal with me is that if I lack sleep, I become hyper all over. It is strange, it really is. Beware of me when I'm sleepy. Ahahaha (and yes, the Nescafe jingle's still stuck in my head).

Yep, every single person in my English class (except for Mister Marc Carbonell who slept at 8pm--is he for real??) is now officially a walking zombie. Wala lang.

Today had BLAH written all over it. I did okay in the last math LT (considering I was totally clueless on everything LOG-ged), my English teacher was absent on our last day of classes for the sem, tension arose between two of my English blockmates, and I missed Charles' tambay-watchamacallit-birthday shindig because I had to go home to "catch some Z's.." --mom).

Awww...
CHARLES, HAPPY 13TH (este, 18th) BIRTHDAY! *huggies*

Nerd mode na ako ngayon. One week of hell. One more week til sembreak.
Awww...ayoko pang magsembreak. I'm gonna miss everyone.

One Good Day Coming Up!
My latest favorite math equation:
nescafe + mango shake + chocolate + sabaw = Weee...

I left my ES notes and book in my locker yesterday, so I was cramming like hell from 6:30am onwards. Feeling quite sleepy in the wee hours of the morning (my class was still at 12nn), I bought myself a cup of Nescafe coffee. I rarely drink coffee, but this time I did, because I promised myself that I would study for ES and hope that I get exempted from the finals (as if...haha. Oi Nix! Next sem exempt na tayo sa lahat ng subjects. whahahaha :P). I didn't have much luck with the coffee because I was still sleepy after consuming the cup.

It was early in the morning and Nix and I were hanging out in my usual table in the caf, studying for ES and Math (Nix, pansin mo ba na kung may ES LT on that day, parati tayong magkasama? Tapos hindi naman tayo nakakaaral nang matino? haha :D). Yep, that's right, "studying". Pagsamahan mo ng Nescafe jingle, kwento, hirit, corny jokes, tawa, sabaw na utak at kung anu-ano pa, and you get the whole picture of how our morning was spent. Slightly successful, slightly clueless on anything log-ged, and slightly sabaw-ed. Eh kala ko pa naman na since malapit na yung finals eh kailangan medyo serious mode na tayo? haha :D Then MM came along and well...things became more interesting. Nawalan na tuloy ako ng ganang mag-aral. haha :P (at paano na yung exemption natin, Nix? :P). Laughtrip. I hadn't gotten my lab reports from Ms. Villa and I still had to read the "Horoscope" thing for Pinoy class...I knew I was supposed to panic for the ES LT, pero parang at that time, wala na akong paki. Sir Claveria's test questions are just too tricky to study for. Even if you know the concepts, you'll find his test questions challenging.

Oh well...

Next sem, same NatSci tayo ah? Walang iwanan come what random number may. (haha ang labo...:D). Promise?

During the afternoon, after our ES Lec, I stayed in the Zen Garden together with Nix and his  blockmates (my beloved blockmates apparently decided to eat lunch in UP, and I needed to finish reading the "Horoscope" thing for Pinoy, so...dot dot dot...I stayed in AdMU). After hanging out in the Zen Garden, I went to the R3 table in the caf with a feeling of cramps in my legs (sabi ko sa iyo Nix eh--kung anong nangyayari sa iyo nangyayari sa akin kaya minsan natatakot ako. whaha joke!). No matter how I tried to get rid of it, the feeling of "cramp-ness" in my legs stayed. S2, how do you guys manage to hang out in the Zen Garden all day without getting any cramps? :O

So ayun. I went to the R3 caf table and bought my hyper meal for snack: mango shake and chocolate. Denis noticed that I was really hyper. Naaliw lang siya--I thank him for laughing at my really corny jokes and bearing with my hyper-ness. Had group discussion with my blockies on "Horoscope", then we went to Mateo to get our ACTM shirts(Kynan, you rawk! haha).

Filipino class still RAWKED. I am gonna miss Sir Aris. Too bad we didn't have a despedida party.
I am also gonna miss my ES classmates and Sir Claveria.
Physics next sem?
Weee...

***

Favorite quote of the day:
"Jeff, ang laki ng pwet mo" --Nix (referring to Jeff's backpack hidden behind his coat)

(Aylabit! Gandhi/St.Ignatius/ChristianBautista you made my day! ahahaha :P)

Bamboo - Sunshine (Nescafe Jingle)

sun is up, i've got so many things to do...
but it's alright (it's ok)
i have to taste it it's gonna be a good day
(be a good day)

wake up (wake up) it's a beautiful morning...
get up (get up) cheer the sunshine near ya...
wake up (wake up) it's just beautiful...
one good day coming up!!!!!!!!
*** nescafe jingle

(When singing this song, don't forget to move your head from left to right. haha :D)

You know what?
I've been thinking about a lot of things, particularly things that have been happening to me lately.

These are what I have realized so far:
1. I left my ES notes in my locker. Now how am I supposed to study for tomorrow's LT?
2. I dunno how I fared in the Math LT. I barely understood a thing about log. =S Bah Humbug.
3. My "Merit" English paper's due on Friday (progress: 0.001% complete)
4. FINALS next week!! Yaaaaaahhhh!!!

and above all that, for #5

I realized that maybe things were just too quick with him and me. I mean, it was too quick for me to say "I do." I don't know. It is strange. I am confused as to where my feelings lie at the moment. It's quite confusing--really, it is.

I can't help but wonder if my overconcern and care for him made me think that I loved him as someone more than a friend. I'm doubting myself, and I'm doubting my feelings. It's just difficult to see the fine line between platonic love and romantic love. I can't help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, I mistook platonic love for romantic love. Things are just so complicated, I don't know what to do. One thing's for certain though--I love and care for him deeply [this is where my "No matter what happens speech goes].

I just don't know whether I love love him as a friend/brother or love love him as something even more.

Time.

Yes, time.

Time can only sort out all these mixed emotions bottling up inside of me.

We'll see what happens.

In due time, I'll know.

But for now, the friendship I have with him is still far more important than some mixed feelings surpressed within me.

Let's just live life to the fullest, ayt? One sem down, seven more to go! Weee...

***

P.S. I wanna watch "Corpse Bride"--I'll probably watch it after the finals.

E. S. - pecially for you
Sir Claveria got all emo during our last ES Lec class. His parting words were,

"Alam niyo ba na in all my years of teaching ES, laging at the end of the semester may nagkakatuluyan? Dapat kayo rin ah."

Nakakatawa, sir, nakakatawa. :D *ahem* Raffy *ahem* Kevin haha joke! :P
Gab, I hate you. :D Ba't niyo parati akong pinagtritripan? ahahaha :D

***

Sir grouped us randomly because he wanted us to mingle with our other classmates whilst answering an essay question for Thursday's LT. Bonded with Patty, Lean, and Lester. Sayang ngayon lang, when we had the whole first sem to do that. Oh, well...anyway, we all agreed to take the same NatSci course next sem--para masaya. :D

Bentang-benta sa akin yung mga hirit ni Lean. Wala lang. Mababaw lang talaga kaligayahan ko.
Me: "Diba meron yung parang mutation of species due to nuclear spills?"
Lean: "Yun ba yung parang si Godzilla o yung parang resistance ng ipis to Baygon?"

(Lean, ha? Ano? :D :)) Natawa ako dun ah, lalo na sa Godzilla part tsaka yung sa conyo na accent sa Baygon thing. Whehehehe)


***

ES was fun. Awww...I'm gonna miss my ES classmates next sem. My first sem T-Th sched was a blast because of them. You guys RAWK!

[Hoy Nix! At bakit ka ba nagcut ng ES Lec? (Ganun eh...pinagalitan diba? haha :P) Awww...take it easy and life will be good to you. You are in my prayers. *hugz* Malapit na matapos yung sem--konting tiis nalang, bro! After this, you don't need to attend school for about a month. haha. SHMYL! :D :)) Tccic! ]

Feelin' fine.
color of the day: Pink. (Yes, Denis, Jeff and I wore pink today. I noticed that other guys walking along Berch's wore pink, too. Pink equates to cotton candy. haha labo...)

***

I'm currently in the SOM complab (kewl-ness! exclusive complab for SOM students ONLY :D)
Someone seated behind me keeps on staring at me for who-knows-what-reason.
I just opened my YM when I saw this message that made me feel better.
Thank you for caring.
Now I may erase my paranoia and start focusing on more important things--like math. haha

All the stress has definitely made me paranoid and crazy.
Stress, gotta learn to live and DEAL with it.

P.S. Wish me luck on my math LT! This'll be the second to the last math test for this sem! I'm hanging by a thread as of now...wah....

***

Darwin, Marc, Bjorn, Ivy, and company: You guys made me proud to be the director of our Lit play! I loved the performance! haha :D All those practice in the Zen Garden were well worth the performance you guys had and hleped make (despite our problem on the "rough" flow of the play in a cramped-up platform in Berch's). Kudos!

Smile! The camera loves yah, baby!
"Getting to know people means risking to lose a part of us but i think the thing we lose when we do this is a patch of darkness so we become clearer for those who look at us. "--Nash

Breathe, AL, breathe.
One. Two. Three.
Take in one breath at a time.
Things are happening so fast, you have to stop to breathe and give space.
Gain control of your life.
Remember, in life,you ARE the driver--NOT the passenger.
Breathe.
Stop being so paranoid.
Stop being too clingy even if you hate being left hanging or left out in the cold.
Everyone needs time to think. You can't expect the world to move by your every whim.
Even if you so badly want to talk about things with a certain someone, you have to realize that  people need their space.

Take a deep breath.
Breathe.

AL, just STOP BEING SO PARANOID, ayt?
It's all in your head...it's all in your head.
I don't know what's going to happen next.

I soooo need to get my head fixed.
Paranoia is poisoning me to death.
Someone fix me, please.

(Quoted from Bea's blog--thanks Pob! :D)

"In all languages in the world, there is the same proverb: "What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't grieve over." Well, I say that there isn't an ounce of truth in it. The further off they are, the closer to the heart are all those feelings that we try to repress and forget. If we're in exile, we want to store away every tiny memory of our roots. If we're far from the person we love, everyone we pass in the streets will remind us of them.

But I cannot simply do nothing, pretend that everything is normal, that it's just a stage, a phase of my life. I want to forget it, I need to love- that's all, I need to love.

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

They all dream of someone who will come along and see in them a real woman- companion, lover, friend. But they all know, from the very first moment of each new encounter, that this simply isn't going to happen."

True...

***

Watched Mel and Joey last night. Our segment was shown at around 8:45 pm. I couldn't believe that the segment started, contained, and ended with clips of ME. haha :D I think the star of the show was my HUGE pimple (yech), which according to Maika, looked a lot like a mole (damn you stress!!! hahahaha).

I was kinda amused because my friends were texting me, telling me that they saw me on TV and that my exposure was kinda long. Showbiz na showbiz na raw ako (haha as if).

After math class in the corridor:
Girl looks at me and asks friend, "Uy, nanood ba kayo ng 'Mel and Joey' kagabi?"
Nakakatawa. haha :D People kept staring at me the whole day. Do you think it's probably because they saw me in "Mel and Joey"? haha :P Pati na rin sila Charles na-showbiz. :D

Queena Lee-Chua says that she'll let me know if GMA gives her a copy of that footage. She'll contact me nalang. Weh.
