Inuman

Weird. I kinda did not keep the Sabbath day Holy last night (or rather this morning) 'cause I took shots of gin and lambanog with the koro up until 3 am. Well, theoretically, in the bible it says that to drink is not a sin but to to get drunk is (Ephesians 5:18)--having a good control of myself and having a good grasp of what my limitations are took care of that so i did not really get drunk.

SO ACTUALLY, it wasn't the drinking that prevented me from keeping the Lord's day holy, it was the fact that I did not ask permission from my parents that I would be drinking up until 3 am that did.

Not that it was the first time i drank with friends, but i guess it was the first time i did not ask permission from my parents (well i have no idea when the session will end). But that's that.

It started when kuya Marlon and Ate Anna mixed mango juice, milk, and sprite (which tasted really good). Someone suggested putting a little gin on it then one thing led to the other.

Well, i usually don't enjoy drinking sessions ('cause i'd rather drink alone) but what i always like about these sessions are the conversations that keep rollling and rolling. And since i have a certain control, I always end up getting to know people "2-chapters-of-their-lives" better.

LOVE na namna yung topic kagabi. Weird.

...I just woke up upon posting this entry, so i guess alcohol did have its toll on me after all.

I can't believe Dumbledore's gay: http://mugglenet.com

At Giligan's

We ate, did videoke, then ate some more. Hehe.
Earlier, at Giligan's (festival branch) we celebrated my Dad's bday. We rented a videoke room where we ate our hearts out and sang our lungs out. It was really fun. Since my sister and I went to college, our family day-outs were lessened, no wonder we really miss them.

Then, went around the mall, bought stuff, and window shopped. What was quite amazing though was that I bumped into my First grade teacher-adviser. Nostalgic. i could still remember that classroom where I first had a teacher that wasn't my mom (we own a prep schoolÜ).

Teacher LOR Lagdameo still looked young despite her retirement age--the sweet smile was still on her face, the posture that deserved respect was still earning respect, and her calming but stern voice was still making ears listen. Imagine, that was like a decade ago. Buti na lang sharp talaga memory ko on people.

hay... i wish i could just stay a first grader forever (hahah peter pan!). Really miss those times where you go to school, learn the basics, and enjoy life. hehehe.

Told ya, it was nostalgic.

ANYWAYS...
Happy BDAY PAPS!!!

Wala lang. Even if my parents do not really know me, i still feel safe and protected when i'm with them. Sometimes, when everything seems chaotic, pressuring and simply "whatever-or-who-cares", it feels good to know that I have a family to go home to.

Thanks Lord

Burger King (ATC)

Ate at Burger King with my sister my mom and my mom's friend earlier.

Of course I had the snack pack--squid rings, chicken strips and fries(which is quite similar to shakey's Captain's choice) plus a BK Fish.

What's cool about BK (ngayon ko lang napansin)

was that it had free movies, free cellphone

charging and free WIFI.

SAN KA PA!

hehehehe

Then, we tried the hershey's sundae pie. Sugar overload so i did not even bother to taste it. Pero wala rin cause i ate 2 small bags of fries--carbs, sat. fat, and trans. fat naman. Too bad. I guess this calls for an extra 20 minutes sa treadmill tomorrow. HAHA!
________

It's papa's bday tomorrow, I think we'll be having lunch then. Di kasi pwede dinner because my sister will be attending a debut party and i have koro practice. At least the night's free for my parents to date or something.

HAPPY birthday pa!
GODBLESS
I love YOU

Yum Yum

This is what I usually eat after going to the gym:

Tuna flakes in water+

durog na Skyflakes+

lettuce

Then milk as a drink

It really tastes good plus it gives you the protein muscles need to recover without the guilt of trans fat, excessive carbs and sugar. You kinda feel healthy after each meal (pero syempre, there's always the psych part to it. (",)). hehehe.

"BUMMAGE"

It's 10:36 and In less than 7 hours i would be awake again to jog yet again.
My sembreak has been proving to be boring, bumming and what not
Walang magawa
Or maybe I'm simply idle to do things

I hate it when i don't get any allowance to go to wherever
(though I get fare to go to the gym&church)
Naalala ko kasi 18 na ako, and October ngayon, punta kaya ako Okterberfest?!
hehehehe

I've started to fix my stuff from the previous sem--rewriting notes I would be needing in the future, reviewing things I should have a good grasp of, discovering notes I planned to rewrite but was never able to, etc.

It's 10:41
Nothing to do
Hope someone would just call me and then invite me to do something
(libre dapat hehehe).

I really want to go to the Shroud of Turin exhibit. At 250 bucks i guess it ain't that bad even if it's just a replica. Plus, i haven't even stepped a foot on MALL OF ASIA (Asian Mall pala sabi ni manong driver hehehe) even if I pass by it everyday in going home from UP. Heheheh

I also have to finish my design for the ARTWORK T-shirt design contest. hmmm... Anu nga ba?

HAY... Total bummer...so much time to think about things i don't really wanna think about
HAY...

its 10:45
zzz...

KAHAPON...

Nagbake kami uli ni ate Jo ng Sguar Cashew cookies.
Masarap naman, sayang lang kasi dapat choco-chip cookies uli kaya lng naubusan kami ng baking soda. Ayun, ginamit namin ang bagong cookie cutters ni ate jo nakaktuwa hehehe.

Pagkatapos, dumaan ako ng simbahan, madilim na, 3 lang kami na sa loob. Ang laki pa naman ng simbahan. Nagdasal...nagisip...nakonsensya...nalungkot...hay...

Syempre di rin ako nakasama sa STAR CITY/pool party sem-ender ng UPSCA. Sayang. wala kasi talaga ako pera (Panu ba kumita ng pera?). At meron rin kasi praktis ang koro. Kumpleto kaming bass na nagpraktis. Walang alto. Isang sop. Isang tenor.

hay...

Of Workshops, Baskets and Lubes

Had a singing workshop with Koro stigmatino yesterday. Did exercises for breathing and singing, which was quite nostlgic for those were the exercises my first choir teacher (the lecturer's wife) taught us when I was still a kid--all naughty and hyper.

Also, it reinforced my diaphragmatic breathing I learned from Speech 111 (voice and diction-- dos lang ako. too bad.) and whichI have been applying in my way of talking and singing (pati nga ata laughing ko diaphragmatic heheheh).
_______________

Also went to Puregold and Ministop (with kuya Marlon and Ate Jo) to buy some merienda for the workshop. look at what cool stuff i saw!

1. A horny lube which comes in ice and fire (hihi♂)
--nakalagay pa dun. "wait for cooling sensation before starting"
HAHAHAH Astig diba?
2. and a cool basket with wheels
--san ka pa? basket pa ba yun?


Nag-jog na ako kanina tapos
last day of requirements ngayon so
BAKASYON NA!
tomorrow I'm officially in SEMBREAK mode!
woohoo!

Flixotide

It's the time of the year when my nose comes
to life and haunts and daunts me,
when my nostrils are my worst nightmare,
when i want to go to God and have my nose replaced.

From around September to December,
it's the time of the year when my seasonal rhinitis
pairs up with my allergic rinitis to kill me.

hehehehe.

ayan kaya naman nandito na uli ang aking best friends na sila Flixotide at Claritin--ang aking nasal spray at anti-allergy pills. Every year, walang mintis na nagkikita-kit kami ng aking mga best friends. Kaya lang (Buti na lang!) wala na si inhaler at nebulizer, Huling nagkita kami noong 4th year high school 9sana wag ko na sila uli makita heheheh).

(PICS TO FOLLOW)

A long Talk

had our choir practice at Kuya PJ's (a Koro alumnus) place.
Wala lang syempre late na naman ang mga tao kaya
we finished at around 11 pm. Someone auditoned,
we finished the Jingle bells piece(how i miss the normal jingle bells where all was so simple hehe), and they ate spag ang chix (which I really wish i had some of but i really overate before going to the practice so no chance at that).



Nagyaya pa sila sa bday ni Kuya Derrick. We were really supposed to go but after waiting for them--which was like oblivion--tinamad na rin kami hehehe. (ATE STEPH promise nag-intay kami sa labas ng house!!!)

-astig nga pala architectural and interior design ng house nila kuay PJ
-natalo pa ako sa pustahan kung Baritone or Tenor yung nag-audition hehhehe
-napagusapan na naman ang future at love at kung anu-ano...

Ber Days

Paguran month na.

Dami dapat gawin.

Hay... sana po matapos ko lahat ng mga ito

Bagong tambayan

Ayan, nakalipat na ako ng gym kanina.
Nakakatuwa kasi mas maganda itong bago kong gym kaya lang
nakakapanibago na ibang mga tao na naman ang kasama ko;
wala na yung mga pamilyar na mga mamang nakakatakot
(pero ayokong mag-bulk up ng ganun hehehe. Scary.)

Tapos halos lahat ng equipment ay machines kaya
nanibago ako kasi puro manu-mano ang alam kong gamitin hehehe
Di tulad ng dati, wala ng spot-an at tulungan kasi machines na nga e
heheehe, in other words--wala ng communication.

Kaya iba pa rin kapag local gym na walang aircon at shower ang
pinupupuntahan mo. Mas masaya kasi parang pamilya kayo dun.
E sa gym na katulad nito, kanya-kanya na. O kaya naman, kausap mo lang ang trainer at hindi ang ibang nag-gygym. Weird.

Well, para ma-maintain itong gym na ito, kelangan ko na magtrabaho dahil nilinaw ng aking mahal na ina na hindi niya ako uli susustentuhan sa gym. huhuhu. Kaya naman next sem ay magtututor na ako. Working student para maka-workout. hehehe. wierd.

Ay konti na lang tapos na itong semestreng ito. Gusto ko ng mag-jogging, mag-bake, mag-drive, magbasa, mag-pc, manood ng marathon, matulog ng sobra-sobra. hehehehe konti na lang.

GYM HOPPING

26 Septemeber 2007
WEDNESDAY

After my church service, i took a nap. Then my mom woke me up beacause my uncle called to invite me to gym hop.

Kaya naman, we checked seven gyms all in all. Astig, iba-ibang instructors, iba-ibang lugar. There was even one wherein there was an indoor bball place and badminton court. Ayos!
But i'm eyeing this gym in philam with state-of-the-art gym equipment and an all-around insturctor. At a reasonable price (1000 pesos less than fitness first?, i'm currently convincing my mom to enroll me in. May boxing gym pa sa taas. hehehehe.

well, wish me luck.
sana may gym na uli ako by friday.


24-25 Septemeber
TUESDAY

since sumama ako sa Retreat, I wasn't able to make the handouts for a report on tuesday. I had no choice but to stay up until 3 am to finish the handouts

For the record, this was the hardest handout i've ever designed and made all by my self hehehehe.

EDUC nga naman.

21-23 Septemeber
FRIDAY-SUNDAY

KORO STIGMATINO Retreat
To start with, syempre late na naman ang mga tao. hehehehe. I was really hoping that since this was somewhat an outing, all will come early. I guess being late is really a KORO sickness hhhehe.

We left at around 10 pm, picked up ate joyce and ate grace at their places, travelled thorugh the night then at midnight stopped over a bulaluhan place. All this while i was sneezing my nose off my face. At Syempre, dahil malamig ang weather, hirap na naman ako mag-adjust sa temp (too much for my seasonal, and allergic rhinitis). Then, we continued on through a winding-foggy-mountain road that kept everybody awake. Kahit na may foglights, wala pa rin kami makita kaya nga astig si kuya derick kasi, for some reason, it was as if he could see the road as is--ala nightvision.

VILLA BRUNORA: Bagyo... kaya di rin kami naka-swim. Ay! retreat nga pala pinunta namin doon. Kahit na hindi nakapunta sa FR. Mervin, ayos pa rin kasi may dumalo namang 2 madre at nakapag-share naman ang mag tao. Dami ko natutunan tunkgol sa mga KORO memebers, kaya mas nakilala ko sila. Grabe. Adik mga tao! heheheh Ang saya-saya nila. Lanu na sila ate Grace, ate Joyce at ate Steph. Hindi nga halatang mas madami ang mga lalaki sa babae na sumama e. hhehehhe

Basta, madaming napag-kwentuhan. Ang daming nagawa. Nagtakutan, nagtawanan, nag-inuman (lasang robitusin yung 40%- alcohol vodka and sprite, worse: lasang redwine with tempra yung vodka and coke) nagdasal, nagkwentuhan, nagkantahan, nag-picturan nagkainan, naghabulan, at nag-volleyball pa. Malamang di ako nakagawa assignment kahit na nagdala ako. Asa naman!

Masaya talaga. At noong pauwi na kami, akalain mo na ang 3-hour travel from batangas to LP ay ngakaroon ng 4 na stop0over. ADIK! heheehhe. Pero ayos pa rin. Ang saya ng biyahe.

Natapos ang retreat sa isang misa sa Parish. Nagsimba kami sabay-sabay.

oo nga pala, nakilala ko pa ang pamangkin ni ate Grace na si Edrick- ang cute na 4-year old na napagkwantuhan namin sa biyahe heheehe. Excited na akong pumasa sa EDUC at magturo sa mga bata. Madali kasing makita si GOD sa kanila :->

hehehehehe

21 SEPTEMBER
FRIDAY

i'm poor with changes

After just 5 months of weight training, the local gym where i go to three times a week has been shutdown--primarily because of shifts in management. I actually never thought i'd feel sad about the sudden change.

Situated at the top floor of a building in Manuela, the gym's windows give you a great view of the Las Pinas skyline (no wonder that in every in-between sets, we often hang out by the windows). And with good ventialtion, enough lighting and nice gym-goers and trainers, the gym was really a home to me, home to my release of all my aggressions, frustrations and what not. Basta astig. Every gym day, i get so excited.

Letting go of a home is what i think made things worse. This actually is a perk of a local gym, the familiarity of the people--their stories, experiences, spotting, grunts and moans are oh-so-familiar. All these makes you at home.

Kaya dahil last day ko ngayon, nalungkot ako.

hay...
I'm off to another gym, i guess.

PSYCH 101 personality test

HAd to ake this test for my psych 101 class

I'm a O90-C58-E83-A83-N32 Big Five!!

Baking

I love cooking. Admittedly though, not the gourmet stuff. I mean i do cook the basics, experiment on them, and gobble them all. I guess my taste buds are simply ordinary. I make whatever there is that i can make with the available ingredients. I don't buy whatdyacallthem herbs, spices and what not. I invent. Hehehe

Unfortunately,when it comes to baking i'm kinda the dumb-dumb. That's why the moment i learned that ate Jo bakes cakes and pastries, I just wasn't able to stop myself from asking her to teach me. And so she did.

She invited me to her house to bake (or did she? hmmm). I shopped for the ingredients (Eaji and cakes?)--entering for the first time a confectionery shop (sniffing the oh-so-good smell of bars and bars of chocolate, gazing on the tons of sprinkles on the shelves, and drooling on the bags of choco chips waiting to be fetched by bakers) ,learning what butter compound is, and checking price differences between butters, sugars and milk.

Then we baked.

We sifted (thousands of times. HAHA!), we mixed, tasted, stirred, tasted, blended, tasted, folded, tasted, shaped, tasted, baked, then finally tasted again. hihihi. No wonder when the heavenly moist, scrumptuous cake came out of the oven, we really didn't want to taste it anymore. Hehehehe.

<<--- Still, i can't believe that i really baked this cake. Ang galing ni ate Jo magturo.

Then the cookies came. Grabe, sugar overload. Then, the frosting happened. And then the next thing you know we were already putting the frosting on the cake which was really hard to even out.

Natapos namin yung cake at around 6 pm just in time para dalin sa koro house for the judging or as ate Jo puts it, para sa mga guinea pigs hehehehe.

Kuyas Richard, Francis, and Darwin were ones who were lucky to taste our baking. Sori na lang sa mga di nakapunta.

Baking is really fun.

@@@

napaisip lang, ako. I met someone today and told her i wanted to be a teacher. Well, she suddenly talked about establishing my own school, looking for this 'company' of teachers who gets paid well and what not. Sa isip ko nung sinasabi niya yun, na-iimagine ko yung school na gusto ko itayo sa isang barrio. Wala lang, para bang ang hirap iexplain (i guess i stopped trying) sa mga tao that i really want to teach sa rural areas. Weird, i know there's this notion that teachers dont get rich. That's why as early as now i'm really saving up. I'm a dreaming nuts here?

KORO

Had dinner sa Koro House after our presentation for the Italians in our parish. Ayos naman. Nagandahan naman ata sila. also watched Disturbia. so mga 1:40 am na kami nakauwi. Ayun. Ang tagal ng trike kasi 2 am na heheheh.

can't wait to bake tom...

SWISH and SWALLOW

Suffering from multiple mouthsores for two weeks, the 6-day vacation came as a big break. I was then able to get myself checked by a doctor, and get proper medication for the mouth sores.
(just to clear things, the source of the mouth sores weren't unsanitation, it was stress. hehehehe)

ASTIG! the doctor has this concoction of her own to treat the sores and it really was effective. yun nga lang, it really was bitter.

All you have to do is POUND a MYCOSTATIN tablet, open an antibacterial capsule, add 5 ml of CORTICOSTEROID syrup, then finally add tablespoon of water in a glass.


MIX THEM ALL!
SWISH (meaning gargle) and then SWALLOW!

The bitter taste will hunt you for minutes, humahagod sa throat yun nga lang walang kick di tulad ng beer. hehehehe. At least it's byebye to pain and discomfort.

DISCLAIMER: dude, syempre i-consult mo muna kay doc bago to subukan

sabi ng malapit kong kaibigan, "breath JM, breath."

Napaisip ako.

Paano ba huminga?

Kapag madami na akong iniisip, pakiramdam ko lahat ng energy ng katawan ko ay napupunta sa utak ko, kaya kahit yung mga involuntary na gawain ng katawan (tulad ng paghinga) ay tumitigil.

hehehhehehe.

Malamang pakiramdam ko lang yun.

...

Pakiramdam ko masyado akong iba sa mga tao.

Kaya minsan, nalulungkot na lang ako dahil hindi ako laging nakaka-relate sa kanila.

Buti na lang, sinabi nung kaibigan ko na misan raw, masyadong pinapansin ng tao ang pagiging iba niya sa mga tao kaysa na tingnan niya yung mga pagkakapareho nila.

Kaya ayun.

Tama na ang self-pity. hehehehhe

OO, medyo iba nga, laging taliwas sa norms.

pero siguradong may mga magiging kaibigan ka kahit iba ka.

Wala lang.

TURUAN nIYO NAMAN AKO mag-basketbol

LEARNING of the day:

BAWAL PALA KUMANTA NG MARIAN SONG SA COMMUNION kahit na SOLEMNITY of the Assumption of the blessed virgin mary. Sori po, ngayun ko lang nalaman.

Nomadic MOUTH SORE

can't eat properly with this freakin stress-related mouth sores ( i mean tongue sores).

I guess it became worse 'cause i spent the night with Jo at Jolibee philcoa to study for exams last monday night. I actually was a bit nomadic that night, i even had a bath the next morning in my orgmate's boarding house. Pulubi talaga eheheh.

It was worth it anyways, i was able to finish the test in EDSP 101 with an 80% gut feeling that i did well sa exam. heheheh. 1st tym ko na-prove that coffee really works (plus a bit of mushy talk which really waked me up- c jo kasi), tea guy nga kasi ako.

...
ayun commentator ako kanina sa CHURCH grabe parang ang sinabi ko: "chanks e tu GOD". Ang sakit kasi talaga ng singaw ko. Sori Lord dapat pala di na ako pumunta. Pero thanks Lord na-enjoy ko na naman yung mic sa pagkanta hehehehe.

...
too bad di ako makakapunta sa practice ng Koro mamaya dahil di rin naman ako makakakanta
too bad rin na di ko nasamahan si Lorenz (cellmate ko) sa infirmary

ayun

hay...

hfa;aivajkdvbaori

ang gulo-gulo na minsan ng mga iniisip ko
minsan medyo info overload
minsan nakakabagabag
minsan masakit
hehehehe weird
wala lang naman

got a 1.75 in our first exam in EDTEG 101, not bad though i did miss some questions that were discussed during the first 2 days of the class. Where was I then? ayun nakaupo sa corridor at nagiintay na tanggapin ako sa klase. PREROG nga naman. kaya di ko nasagot.

ENV SCI 1 at EDSP 101 exams on monday and tuesday resoectively, good thing there are no classes on friday for whatever reason PGMA has on her mind. Weird.

HAy. Nakakapagod. Kanina meron na naman akong nakilala na may "some sort of sin" pero mukang successful naman siya sa life. Ang nakakagulo, feeling ko mas masaya pa siya sakin kahit na alam ko na tama yung ginagawa ko. Kahit na pinaalalahanan ako ni TEp (orgmate) na dapat di ma-initmidate sa gumagawa ng "bad" things, parang ang hirap pa rin hindi ma-initimidate. Sana kasi may kakilala akong parehong nararanasan yung problema ko ngyonn. Bad trip.

Kelan kayo mag-ma-mature ang aking Faith?
