A Lazy Sunday.
We had our occasional family lunch at the Crowne Plaza. My father usually eats there for breakfast and/or lunch during weekdays, so he's pretty well-known in there. It's kinda cute how he storms in the area and acts like he owns the whole hotel with him conversing with the captain waiters, the head chefs, the concierge, and the people at the business area of the hotel, and making some suggestions to them on how to improve the place. :P And he's sorta like buddy-buddy with Gokongwei, who eats there everyday. haha XD Cute. My father's sense of exquisite taste and clasiness with a hint of his wonderful sense of humor never fails to amuse me.

Over lunch I was having a conversation with my mother on what I would be wearing for Christmas. Turns out that she wants me to be lady-like this Christmas. So yes, I will be wearing a dress. hahaha XD

Just finished preparing dinner for the family.
I don't know what else to blog, so I'll just make up a poem. :D



The Necklace
Here I am, with my heart laid bare
Around my neck, my heart lays there.
It is fragile, can't you see?
Take it as a token to remind you of me.
Please take care of it, I ask of you.
Don't lose it and treasure it like I do.
My heart is fragile, please don't break it.
I'm still here loving you every single bit.
So please I ask you to care for my heart,
Remember my love for you though we may be apart.


haha it sucks...
Oh well...
That's what happens with an impromptu poem...
Trying to make stuff up for the sake of rhyme
I bet that poem wouldn't even cost a dime.
hahaha :P

P.S. Charles will be featured on TV in Y-Speak (daw). haha XD Cedrick naman oh...masyado nang publicized block natin. Block celeb! haha :P Couldn't get enough of our footage in GMA last time, could you? :D

You Raise Me Up...
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

-Josh Groban, You Raise Me Up

Because of you.
Because of you I have learned that the best things in life are for free.
Because of you I have strived to be the best I can be.
Because of you there's still a reason to smile through it all.
Because of you I know that there's someone to catch me when I fall.
Because of you I have found a reason for living.
Because of you I have found meaning in everything.
Because of you I have enjoyed it when I laughed or cried.
Because of you I'm never alone for I have someone by my side.
Because of you I feel lucky enough to thank the heavens above.
But most of all, because of you I have learned to love.

15,000 blog hits.
Woah.

Congratulations, AL, for apparently having an interesting life...
So interesting people actually read the junk you put in here. haha XD

You Are 30% Weird
Not enough to scare other people... But sometimes you scare yourself.

Is that good? haha XD And to think I thought I was weird enough...

Forgotten Friend.
Too many months have passed.
Too many words left unspoken.
Too many thoughts going through our heads.
Too many laughters and tears.
Too many memories once shared.
Too little time spent these days.
Too many laughters and tears.
Too many heartaches and pains.
What has become of us?

With this I've come to realize
That I am
NOTHING.
Forgotten.
Nothing
But a faded memory.
Once someone important in your life,
Forgotten.
It's stupid to hold on to something
That I believed was true.
But then I've come to realize
That you were holding back
And now it feels like you're gone...
Forever.
In the same sense
I am
Forgotten
Like a faded memory
That can never go back
To where I belong...
A forgotten friend
That's me.

Modern Jazz was fun...I'm getting the hang of it. Plus, Gary made modern jazz-ing bearable, especially when I found out that my beloved blockie abandoned me to cut PE and watch a movie at Eastwood. haha :P. Lester is a meanie. Gary's more than half the man you guys are because he's brave enough to take on Modern Jazz. haha :P

Just got home from the TA play. Charles and I were tired and we both wanted to go home ASAP. Charles should be thankful my father was the one who was fetching me. haha XD My father was making small chat with him in the car, but Charles was kinda silent. I guess it's because it was definitely a LONG day for us all...we were tired and sleepy. Glad there's no classes tomorow!

I Need a Reason, A Meaning In My Life...
Dear family, friends, stalkers and stalkees,

I won't be around until tonight because I've got an ACP class to attend to and a TA play to watch. haha XD We just had our Calculus test. Had no reaction afterwards. Dunno what the results would be. Hope I pass. God help me.

I also got a locker together with Dondee (yay! Lockermate! haha XD) at the SS Bldg. If anyone's interested to know (not that there's anyone interested in knowing), my locker's at SECA #94. Dondee's is at 95. Asteeg. :P

What is this feeling I'm feeling?
Why do I feel so torn apart?
And why do I carry such a heavy heart?
I know I don't care what other people may say
And that I've constantly tried to ignore it all...
...all the signs that come my way
...all the things I've been hearing.
But is ignoring something that's spread flat out on your face
Similar to denying the very existence of that something?

He Said He Wasn't.
He said he wasn't special.
He said he wasn't good enough.
He said that he was powerless.
He said that he felt like nothing.

But he was wrong.

For to her, he was special.
To her, he was the greatest.
To her, he was Superman.
To her, he meant everything.

And she was right.

Skirting the Issue
Haha...it's kinda funny to see the different reactions of my friends on me being all girly-girl.

Here are my replies:
  • Nix, I will dress up--maybe in your dreams. haha XD Or maybe if you wish REAL hard, maybe it would come true. And if you wish really really hard and pray that my parents decide not to schedule our yearly family vacations abroad on April, then maybe, just maybe, I might dress up. ^^ Might. haha :D Who knows? No one but me, that's for sure. Whehehe :P
  • Ingga, I will NOT let you know if ever I'm planning on dressing up and being all girly-girl. Wouldn't want you tagging along your faithful digicam, now would we? XD I guess I'm your twin--only with opposing personalities. haha ^u^ And what about the whole world agreeing with me being all girly-girl? Nuh-uh. Some people like me as a sporty-ish, tomboy-ish, nerd-ish girl. hehehe :P
  • Kei, yes, I AM a girl. I am a girl, but not a girly-girl. Being a girly-girl means being kikay and all that stuff. Hello?! Does AL equate to kikay???! hahaha :P Only in your wildest dreams, my dear.
  • Mikey, thanks. That was a real sweet thing for you to say that. Thanks for telling me not to be girly-girl and liking me for who I am. haha :D Though it would be fun to try being a girly-girl for at least once in my college freshman life, right?
  • Charles, good luck in your goal. Do you most certainly think that YOU could MAKE me be all girly-girl? ahahaha :P And what's this thing about a block alliance to give me a makeover? Whatever. haha  :P Why are you so insistent in making me all girly-girl? Is it because I'm basically one of the guys in the block? XD And like what I've said, maybe the only time you guys would see me as a girly-girl all dressed up, would be on MM's debut (if ever--which is like, 2 years from now?!). Good luck, dude! whehehe:P
I'm a non-conformist when it comes to fashion trends and accessories. I don't know...I just am. Maybe it's the way I was brought up by my parents. My father firmly believes that the only jewelry his dearest daughters could possibly wear whenever we were with him is GOLD. Silver, beads, and the like were a no-no for him. I guess it's because my father has a fine taste in things (read: expensive), not to mention he's not too keen on seeing his dearest daughters grow up into wonderful ladies. I think my father still sees me as his little 12-year old princess. haha :D Nevertheless, I still love him...I always will. <3

It'd be a downright miracle to see me all dressed-up. hehehe :D Wishes can come true, you know. And miracles can happen when you believe... ;)

***

I'm still dazed from all the "Don Quixote/ Alonso Quijana de la Mancha" play. Theater is LOVE. Anyone know a good play that I can watch? hehe :P

P.S. I wish I had my very own knight in shining armor--like Dulcinea. ^u^ I do hope that chivarly isn't dead...hahaha :P

Good luck to my friends who are going to be in the SEA Games! Hope you guys enjoy it in there! ;)

Btw, Jason Kidd has been kicking Kobe Bryant's butt since the first half of the Nets-Lakers game today. Wonder who'll win...

St. Bernard

No bones about it, you're a dedicated, trustworthy St. Bernard. Loyal and good-hearted, you're as reliable as they come. Your naturally protective personality is reflected in the way you treat people close to you. Sheltering your nearest and dearest from harm (or bad news, for that matter) is high on your priority list. That attitude earns you lots of gold stars, not to mention respect. People admire your strong morals — and how well you stick to them! Focused, steadfast, and determined, you always aim to please. It's a breed like yours that makes the world a better place — woof!
What breed of dog are you?

Amorous Nocturnal Goddess Exchanging Loving and Affection

Whehehehe...that's kinda cute for a name. :D

Your Personality Is
Idealist (NF)
You are a passionate, caring, and unique person. You are good at expressing yourself and sharing your ideals.

You are the most compassionate of all types and connect with others easily. Your heart tends to rule you. You can't make decisions without considering feelings.

You seek out other empathetic people to befriend. Truth and authenticity matters in your friendships.

In love, you give everything you have to relationships. You fall in love easily.

At work, you crave personal expression and meaning in your career.

With others, you communicate well. You can spend all night talking with someone.

As far as your looks go, you've likely taken the time to develop your own personal style.

On weekends, you like to be with others. Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours.

I love theater.
Just came home from watching Repertory Philippines' rendition of "Man of La Mancha". I LOVED the play. It inspired me to either watch more theatrical plays or BE in plays. haha XD Seriously speaking, I miss acting...we did a lot of that back in high school...

Did you know? My mom used to do theater work back in her teens (yes, she was an actress before, just like my great-aunt who was this famous actress who almost won a FAMAS award), so she likes watching plays, too. Wala lang :D

Met up with Charles and some of my English blockmates in Greenbelt.

Charles is so funny, swear.
He told me, "AL, goal na namin for this year is that papagirly-girl ka namin. Kailangan mong magdress up, even for once. Gusto kitang makita na naka-skirt or dress."
Tough luck, dude. The only time I'll probably dress up for an occassion would be on MM's debut (if ever the attire should be formal)--but that's ages from now. Good luck with your goal. ahahaha

Funny. Ingga told me the other day that I should dress up to school (like wear dangling earrings and skirts and stuff) and be girly-girl) and now Charles told me to be girly-girl. haha XD

The deal with me being all dressed up is that when I DO dress up (w/c I seldom rarely do), people don't recognize me at first glance. They'd be like, "AL, ikaw ba iyan?? Parang hindi ikaw eh....sobrang iba kasi itsura mo eh. Mukha kang...cute, nice, and pretty." Whatever. Compliments will get you nowhere. haha :D I'm dressing down and nothing can't stop me! ahahahaha :P

I'll be in my loose shirts, baggy pants, eyeglasses, and rubber shoes and you can't stop me! :P

As of now, there's really no point in being all girly-girl. I'm still a sporty nerdy tomboy. haha XD
Anyone care to give me a GOOD reason why I should dress up and be all girly-girl?
If your reason's good enough, maybe I will or maybe I won't dress up. :D
*wink wink*

Jaq's debut is today. Can't go. Awww...
Hope they're enjoying the party!

Er, with regards to my last blog post, I realized that it sort of misled some people into thinking who that person was. No, it's not *him*, taga-SOSS po siya.

I Never Knew...I'm Sorry.
I never knew until now.
Why didn't he tell me?
Now I know.

I'm sorry.

I wish you could've told me sooner.
But now there's nothing that I could do.
I wish you had told me right from the very start
Exactly what was on your mind and heart.

Maybe then I would've understood
Why you were trying to hide everything
By constantly annoying me to seek my attention.
Maybe then things would finally be clear 
Between you and me.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could be there for you.
I wish that I could comfort you.
Maybe it's never too late.
Maybe it is, maybe it's not.
No one knows for sure.

I never knew...
but now I know.
Now I know the real story.

If the word, "sorry" did not exist
I wouldn't know what to say.

I'm sorry.

Discovery of the day: MAC's classroom is right next to mine in CTC. Wala lang. haha :D Too bad he's no longer my happy crush. Imagine how giddy I'd be if I still liked him. haha :P And now I notice that MAC keeps on popping up all over campus. I just find that simply amusing. Haha ^u^

PostScript. I seriously have to sort out my YM list and re-classify YM IDs according to importance and theme/subject. I don't really notice people (whom I usually chat with in YM) online because their names are waaayyyy below the list. Gotta fix it up, somehow. haha :D

I know it's not my fault but...

You're so far, yet so near.
I wish for you to be right here. 
Wishing you were here with me. 
You're the only one who sets me free.

We were dismissed early from our Botany class. After hanging out with Charles and Nats under the heat of the sun, we decided to go to the CompLab to cool off.

We had our groupings in Botany class, and we're supposed to report on Tuesday.

You know what I simply hate? I hate it when people often assume that a blockmate should automatically be your groupmate in groupings such as these. Is it a crime to be groupmates with other friends that aren't part of your block? I had a classmate who assumed that his blockmates would be his groupmates. And then when he found out that they weren't going to be his groupmates, he immediately said "Backstabbers!!!" in a "parinig" manner. What gives?! He didn't have the right to call them backstabbers. That judgment call's so unfair. Since when is grouping with your other friends instead of blockmates considered backstabbing? And yes, being the AL that I am, I sorta got affected even though I knew that it wasn't my fault. I'm sure that he's a nice guy and all that, but what he did was just plain mean. What right did he have to judge them and call them names just because they went to a different group?! That is sooo unfair. But then again, life is never fair. 

This is why I don't want to get too attached to my blockmates.
I'll probably end up having a "my-blockmates-are-my-friends-only-and-not-yours" syndrome, which I believe a few of my blockmates are already possessing. 

Blockmates are there to help you pull through your first year in college, given the fact that you don't know much people at the start of the year. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have to stick with them forever.

We all need our freedom.
We all need some room to grow and more friends to meet.
Sometimes we also need our own space, some time to be alone for awhile.
But sometimes blockmates don't understand that, so they crash into your little party.

It just sucks that some people think that if you're a blockmate of theirs, that means that you have to always hang out with them (and I'm basically pertaining to my observations and experiences on freshie people suffering from this kind of mentality).

I needed to get this stuff out of my head. Sorry for ranting.
Bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan wag magalit.

It just annoyed me and hurt my feelings for some reasons unknown.

I know it's not my fault, so why do I feel so bad and hurt deep inside?

***
(edit @ 6:18 pm)

It's official. We, the English block of R12, are sick and tired of all the moldy books in the Rizal Library. We spent the whole day (during our free time) in the library searching for several stuff I'm too lazy to mention. At the end of the day, we were tired and we hadn't completed the list! Rar.

Currently listening to the Backstreet Boys' albums. Gawd. I miss those guys. Their songs bring back grade school memories. haha XD
