Colonel Sanders goes to Brooklyn

Late last night, after singing in the 6:30 PM mass, went straight to the KORO house for Ate Grace's dinner treat. We ordered 2 boxes of Brooklyn's Pizza and 2 KFC bucket meals. Ang tindi. The most carbs I ate all in one night for 7 months now. To hell with calories and carbs. Nothing beats great tasting food (not good cause it not healthy hehheheh) all for free. Thanks 'te Grace.

Had a meeting with the MD and the President afterwards.

Also watched the TYRA BANKS show. The topic of which was on detecting homosexuality scientifically. Heck. Homosexuality na naman. I have been studying this topic for so long now, both theologically and scientifically. Nothing was new execpt for the hair growth patterns:

galing sa puyo:

Clockwise--male dominant

Counter-clockwise--more inclined to femininity.

Whatever. It feels bad that sometimes people focus so much on a person's sexual orientation that they forget all the good in that person. Who cares if a person is gay? i'm not saying I'm for homosexual genital acts, 'cause Im not (specifically beacuse the Catholic Doctrines says so). I am actullay trying to discover this for myself.

To my best bud whose gay: Dude, just hang on with your struggles. We both know God gave you that challenge for a reason despite the whole world judging you and despite the homosexual revolution of today. I know you are going to stick wtih the LORD. Promise tol, dito lang ako.

Annual Overnights

29 December 2007 (2:30 AM-10)

After practicing up to 2:30 in the morning with the KORO, I got home to see a couple of friends with my bro and sis watching DVDs cozily tucked in the sofa bed we placed as some sort of hangout in our preschool. Unfortunately, my eyes were drooping so badly that after a midnight snack I fell asleep in a split sec. Sayang. Maganda pa naman daw yung movie na 23 (starring Jim Carrie)

In the AM, I cooked breakfast for them which we ate while watching memento mori-- a dramatic love story between two ladies with poor attempts of scarying whoever will be watching it. Totally did not enjoy it.

VAN mishap

Everyone has his firsts.

So do I. I had my first car mishap yesterday morning. After driving around the village to confirm caroling places for later, I attempted to park the car pass a narrow gate to somewhat impress my dad with my narrow-pass driving skills. Too bad I ended dissapointing him.

What's worse was that I already heard that I hit the gate, but i panicked and forced the van to move anyway. hay. In desperation, I tried wiping the orange scracthes away but to no avail obviously. Hay. And then I saw my dad's face :c ...

How bad was it? see for yourself.

Sorry pops

Christmas '07

Christmas '07

__________

As shown in the picture, I gave my three young cousins--James, John Paul and CJ--a box ofcolored chalk as a Chritsmas present. AStig. Having learned from my major that we should opt for toys that promote creativity, toys which are open-ended (many ways to play with them), I decided to give them Crayola colored chalk. Natuwa talaga sila. After convincing my aunt to allow my cousins to use the garage floor as a canvass/"paper", we filled it with drawings and scribbles that were something new to my cousins. Cool. I was successful in drawing them away from the computer games they were playing with before i came. I'm quite happy that I'm applying what I'm learning in early Childhood education.

___________

Pasko na pala. After early dawn masses, so-late carolings and tiangge raids, Christmas parties, choir duties, an asthma attack after three years and what not, Christmas has come and I wasn't prepared for the Lord's Bday. Bad. Bad.

Hay... dON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT THINGS THOUGH!

Sige na.

Christmas naman e Give myself a break please.

Maawa naman ako sa sarili ko.

Merry Christmas!

Sorry Lord, nahihirapan talaga ako. Baka naman tinatamad lang ako lumaban?

WHEN I'm GONE

"...Whoahh

No we’re not gonna waste another moment in this town

Whoahh

We wont come back, the world its calling out..."

Larangan ng Pagtakas at Pag-iwas

Balik koro...

Kagabi, matapos ipahiwatig sa akin ang aking pagbigo sa mga tao buhat ng ako'y magtangkang tumakas, ay inilatag sa aking harapan ang ang aking mga responsibilidad bilang kalihim ng Koro Stigmatino. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na gano'ng kabigat pala sila. Tuloy, ay napaisip ako. Hindi pala talaga puwedeng lagi na lang tumatakas. Kahit gaano na ako kabihasa sa larangan ng pagtakas at pagiwas, sadyang isip-bata ang ganitong gawain.

Ayoko kasi ng responsibilidad. Nakakatakot. Nakakakaba. Magaling naman akong taga-suporta hindi ba? Ginagawa ko naman ang lahat sa aking makakaya upang maging isang mahusay na miyembro--maagang nag-aaral ng mga piyesa, pinahuhusay ang sarili sa pagbasa ng mga nota at ine-ensayo araw-araw ang aking boses upang maging isang ganap na bass. Hindi pa ba tama yun? Hindi ba talaga puwede yun?

Malamang hindi. Siguro panahon nang harapin ko naman ang mga takot ko sa buhay, panahon na na ako ay lumaki't magbago. Kaya naman kagabi'y tunay na tumatak sa akin ang mga salitang ito:

Hindi ka na puwedeng matakot

Hindi ka na puwedeng mahiya
Hindi ka na puwedeng magalinlangan

sapagkat...

May kasaysayan kang pangangalagaan
May pagkakakilanlan kang dapat protektahan
Madaming umaasa sa iyo

at syempre, ang hindi mawawala

Isko ka ng bayan

Sa totoo lang, nabigatan ako. Pero napansin ko kapag nabibigatan ako, lalo akong nagpupursige. Ganito ako sa aking pag-aaral. Kaya naman mahilig ako sa mga terror-prof. Dapat takutin niyo muna ako para ako'y gumalaw.

Hay, ang hindi ko lang ganap na maaninag ay kung bakit kahit na akin nang napatunayan na ako'y isip-bata't duwag ay sadyang pinagkaaktiwalaan pa rin at binibigyang pagkakataon upang bumawi. Ang wirdo. Hindi ba dapat napatunayan na ng aking pagtangkang tumakas na hidni ako karapat-dapat?

Wirdo

Gayunpaman, nagdesisyon na ako harapin ang mga responsibilidad. Lagi kong sinasambit na di ko nais ang maging isang medicore. Kung gayon, dapat na akong mag-mature.

At wika nga ng isang kaibigan, "steady lang...focus."

they are not comfortable doing?

2 busy-humiliating-entertaining days

6 December 2007

I damaged a house.
Litterally.
I was in the attic of our choirmate's house looking for the Christmas tree to be put up when poof...the floor (which is the ceiling of the master's bedroom) gave way. Luckily, my reflexes worked and saved me from the crash. Kahit na. Nakakahiya.

Not one of my proudest moments.
Yet, I find it a comedic scene. Haha.
Sorry po talaga tita.

7 December 2007
EDTEG 102:

We surprised our Professor (Teach Diaz) with a mini birthday presentation for her--complete with a skit, dance, pseudo-cake and greetings--, just to find out that her birthday wasn't until the 5th of January. Hahaha. Nakakahiya na naman. Nevertheless, she said she was really touched and surprised (surprise nga naman, kasi di naman niya birthday. hahaha).

Then, our topic for the day was about toys. How cool could that get?--types of toys and what not. Teach brought samples of toys and we were asked to play with each of them. And among all the toys, this is my favorite:

Modeled by Ei

This is an example of a divergent toy where there is NO one way of playing with it, rather you can be creative and imagine ways on how it can be manipulated. Cool huh?

EDR 121 (children's lit):

Imagine having a children's book illustrator and a writer seating with us in the same classroom. Astig. We got them answering for us questions about their expertise (they are the ones seating by the door--Leo Alvarado and _________). It came as no surprise that they are issues between publishers, writers and illustrators that are quite sad to tell.

Then afterwards, naglaro pa kami ng pabitin at palayok game. Astig. Daming candies. Of course I didn't it them (read: sugar haha). Still, it was really fun.

That is my teacher holding the rope. Go teach!

_______________

I ended the day by watching the gala concert of my brother's school choir, SIGLO of the Bloomfield Academy (my elem alma mater), which was kinda cool. I really liked the song "ilong." Syempre, daig na naman ako ng kapatid ko pagdating sa facial expression.

Xristos-mas

TRIVIA:
In the shortened form of Christmas XMAS, "X" stands for Xristos--the greek word for the Messiah, or Christ.
______________

Christmas! I simply can't wait.

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feeling like a child now
`Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

-Bubbly by Colbie Cailat

The Greatest 8 hours

I read a book. It started somewhat like this:

""A guy in cargo shorts, pink shirt and orange windbreaker meets up with a girl in white and green and brown top, and pants (describing how good she looks however, is impossible or I simply am clueless on what you call certain women’s apparel. Take your pick). After almost three years, they will be meeting again. Why just now? Ask the guy who is stupid, undecisive, a no-to-risk cowardice, and what not, he never even bothered checking on the girl up until now..."

I shut the book and didn't bother to turn on the next page.

Stupid guy, I thought.

Visited the Science Discovery Center and enjoyed the place with all its booths and activities, particularly the planetarium. But then again I guess being with someone special made all the difference.
