Merry Christmas! Whew. What an exhausting day. 2005 is 4 days away, and that means manmy academic life would be on active mode again. Ayaw ko na magaral!
I’m excited to share what we experienced last Christmas. For the past few years, I have been made to believe (hehe) that it is a family tradition to visit Baguio at least once in a year (We visit Baguio very often). Those visits usually take place every Christmas, and that visit wouldn’t be complete without one family which has been so close to us ever since I was a kid. We and the Abrasaldos had been through many trips, misunderstandings, church-transfers (hehe) and countless other experiences. I guess what made our relationship with them last this long was that they have been really good and true friends and that the Lord has guided the friendship all along.
And so here’s the story. We stayed in Baguio for 3 days and 2 nights. And what we did were those things that a usual family visiting Baguio would do. We stayed in a hotel (which was the same hotel where we stayed last year). Before we reached the hotel, we went through a series of seemingly never-ending maneuvers and turns. It turned out that Tito Edsel has forgotten the exact location of the hotel. Haha
While in Baguio, all that I can do was eat. I guess I gained a couple of pounds this school break. I can’t afford to gain that much significant weight! (After all the hardships I’ve been through? No way. Haha I remember my mom saying that I’ve become too maarte. Before I wasn’t so conscious about gaining weight, and that I even said before that I really don’t care if I was obese or not. But after I lost all the weight I’ve been too much involved in counting calories, etc.)
We went to PMA, Camp John Hay, and the immortal Burnham Park. And of course, any trip (for me) wouldn’t be complete without SHOPPING! I was given PhP 500 to spend on whatever I like. Kulang nga eh. I wasn’t even able to buy Peanut Brittle and Ube. L
While on our way home we stopped at a gasoline station. The brake of the Abrasaldos’ Toyota Lite Ace had to be fixed, and so we had to wait for over an hour. While chatting and waiting for the car to be fixed, Mia left the keys of the Sentra locked inside! Waah! Another Problemo! And we haven’t eaten supper yet.
We suggested that they look for other Sentras and ask if they could try their keys on the car. One Sentra arrived, and immediately they approached the driver and asked for his help.
The guy was a 19-year-old Philippine Military Academy Student. (He was so cute! We actually had a crush on him.) He was running towards the car and immediately he tried his key on the back compartment of the car. Still, the car didn’t open. L This guy’s brother (kapatid niya ba tlga un?) suggested that we go seek for a locksmith’s services. The PMAer told his brother to accompany Tito Edsel and Tita Anne to the place since we weren’t familiar with the directions. They even used his car! .. Sana nakasakay ako dun. He was left in the gasoline station to talk with my dad. Hehe.. and of course, I was there, pretending to listen to the conversation (But of course, I didn’t just pretend, I really listened. Hehe). And soon his brother came with the news that the locksmith would arrive in 45 minutes. We had to wait that long.
And so we waved goodbye to the good-hearted cutie. L,
To make the long story short, the problem was fixed after 2 hours. Hayy.. we were all eager to go home.
I believe my post has been too long. And I’m kinda sleepy. G’nyt!!

Intramuros
To rate what happened last night in a scale of 1-10, I am giving it an 8.
I had a great time. Hmm.. yet I feel so incomplete. I can’t tell you all why, because this blog is public and that SOMEBODY might read my secret.
The plan was to get a breath of air at Intramuros. Yet, what happened was that we didn’t go straight to the place. Pastor del Rosario didn’t know exactly where Intramuros was at first, so he drove us to Roxas Blvd (the place near Manila Bay where there are lights, restaurants, and bands). The place was cool (cool, as in malamig).Wahaha. Kakainis nga eh. While watching one band perform, I was actually singing with the vocalist. What I didn’t know was that Valentino was taping the whole thing. Waah! Now they’d know how different I look when I sing. Wehehe with all emotions and hand swings pa un. Huhuhu How embarrassing. [Cute kaya ako dun? Wehehe]
After spending less than an hour there, we decided to head for Intramuros. The place was just 5 minutes away from the baywalk. Haha lapit lang pala noh
We walked and walked and walked and walked all night hehe. [And I liked it, because its good exercise. Calorie-burning!] I bought a small pink wallet with a strawberry patch for PhP 100. Yehey! [I guess I can’t stand a day without buying something new for myself. Wow. How selfish of me.] What I saw in that visit to Intramuros were not new, because I’ve been in there with my family and some friends a year ago. [This is the dramatic part] But what made the feeling unique was that I spent the night with my new friends in our new church. Having such people who share the same beliefs is enough to make me feel that I have something to be proud of my faith. I am also grateful to our pastor and his wife, who had always been there on our [youth] side (yes, literally. They are always present wherever we go. hehe). Of course, without them, we wouldn’t even be allowed to go with the others to Intramuros. Hehe

Grrr
To continue my story, a VERY sad experience happened to me and my siblings yesterday. After the concert, we were supposed to stay in the Lazo’s with the church’s youth to have a small fellowship and relax after the concert. Mommy_mama already said yes (but we didn’t know that it had a condition: that my elder bro’s girlfriend shouldn’t be there). So I guess you already know what happened. Kuya’s GF, uninvited (according to many), made her entrance, and that immediately meant our exit (although literally, we weren’t inside the Lazo’s yet).
Aaarghh. Im trying to find ways not to get angry with my Kuya’s two-faced-14-year-old girlfriend ever since we found out the truth about their relationship, but this event just turned my anger to wrath. (Although she gave me a gift yesterday morning, after the dry run of our concert). I know I’m too cruel, and if she reads this I know she’d say that I myself am two-faced too. Haha.. I appear so nice to her, but deep inside, I want to strangle her (figuratively). The Jelly Sister ~o~
I hope my bro’s not reading this. I don’t want us to fight again. The last quarrel we had something to deal with his illegal relationship. Bwahaha
Oh well, enough of the sad part. To compensate for the partying my siblings and I weren’t able to experience (haha, feeling), another “bonding moment” [wahaha non-polar] is to happen tonight. Yey!! Of course, mommy_mama uttered the “conditional yes” again. Blessed (is this the right term?) we are that Kuya’s GF didn’t know about the event, and so she couldn’t come. [Or did she really know about it, but decided not to come because she also knew about the thing that happened last night? Waah Paranoia] Yehey!! – cruel
Hey, gtg. Its semi-vanity time (Im not as vain as my two brothers are, theirs is what I consider vanity—or rather vanity to the extreme).

BIG
THE BIG DAY.
Our church choir performed at the Festival Mall in Alabang. My assigned work – to be the narrator. Thank God I was placed in a position that many people couldn’t see haha.. because if not, I would stutter. [I’m still wondering why they chose me to be the narrator. There are many better public speakers in our church than I am. I am not even good. 1.75 for Comm III, remember?]
Before the concert began, we had to parade through the mall’s food court, and give balloons to children (which I think, is exclusively for them, but it turned out that some adults felt like they were children too nakipagagawan pa). Hehe. I gave my four balloons to 2 children and 2 adults. [Hhhmmp!]
I had fun, of course. Being with my churchmates makes my life happier than when I am in toxic school. In church, there are no things to worry about – no papers, no exams, no deadlines – you just have to sit, listen to God’s word, and enjoy the fellowship. I have always wished that life would be just as fun. But then I realized that I cannot. Life without the hardship isn’t exciting either. Plus, its my chance to meet unbelievers and share to them God’s word. But I cant, right now. I feel so useless and ungrateful.
After the concert we were all relieved. No more late Saturday and Sunday night practices. [But I’m going to miss that part]
I’ve invited Kuya Matthew to watch our concert but he said he couldn’t come [because they also had to sing in another church]. By the way, I call him Einstein, because he’s really smart. When I talk to him, I feel so little. We were schoolmates in grade school. [He’s 23, so I don’t know if he was still in school when I was in Jr. Kinder]. In turn, he calls me Sexy, because he knows that I really am. Hehehe joke :P
Bye, gotta sleep. I’ll continue my story tomorrow :)

It’s a day before the big day, and I haven’t slept well.
I had to wake up at 5 o’clock in the morning to take a bath and get ready for a Christmas party for our employees (we’re in a bakery business). I really wasn’t that excited to go because its too early and I am really afraid of seeing tons of food (calories)..
Well, it turned out that I overcame my fear. Ahaha.. I think Ive eaten too much.. L The party was fine, and I think the employees enjoyed the program too.
Aaaarrggg I need a calorie calculator.. wait..

Toxicity and [Read down]
These are the two things that I am currently busy with. School is giving me and my classmates a hard time; especially those anatomy lecture and laboratory classes which require us to memorize so many terms. On the other hand I enjoy them too; especially the taxonomic classification of animals. I found out that humans are from the Infraorder Prosimii and the Suborder Catarrhini. Pigs are from Order Artiodactyla, and the Suborder Suiformes. (Pigs just make me remember something.) Hehe.. I enjoy sounding too scientific. Actually, I had this funny experience (which I’ve already shared to my blockmates) about my taxonomic hallucinations. While I was brushing my teeth, I saw a lizard creeping down the walls of my mom’s bathroom. Ahaha, to my shock, I shouted the word, “Lacertilia!!” [My classmates laughed when I said this word] It was really unintentional!! Lizards are from the suborder Lacertilia, btw J
Aside from the anatomy class, we also have this organic chemistry class. My bro said that this sem, chem would be easier (Chem 27 is a lot harder). But I cant see the difference. I find it difficult to study the nomenclature, etc.. When would academic life seem easy??
[WARNING: This is a secret, I hope “he” does not get to read this. I have a crush on my chemistry lab professor, who is my kuya’s batchmate. He graduated last March as Magna cum laude, and was 5th on the chemistry board exam. Wanna know the other details? Ask me. Hehe joke lang. Anyway, he is very impressive. The only thing is, he’s gay (yata). Aww, sad. Sayang! Oh well, crush lang naman –cliché—hehe. Yihee, kakakilig every Mondays and Thursdays]
Enough of the school stuff. I am battling with another serious problem. I want to loose weight. For those who had known me for a long time would understand why I want to do this. I have already lost 60 pounds, but Id like to loose 20 more. I want to be a size S. hahaha..
And as part of my plans, I want to become a bulimic.
Everytime I think about it, I get scared. Ive watched TV programs about this; and they all point to one thing: don’t ever dare try induced vomiting. But how am I supposed to loose all these weight easily?.. I want fast results. haha I don’t care about the RDA or whatever, all I know is that I want to loose weight. After that, I’d live a healthy life once more. I know I sound selfish. Actually, I would be researching later about the technique :P I know I can control myself if I want to.. Those who could provide me enough info, please text me at 09175447480
The latter 3 paragraphs were a joke. Hehehe
About 3 hours ago I was talking to ate jam, and I had a great time. We were talking about things both serious and not so. Haha Thanks ate jam for being a friend :)

The Christmas break is nearing!! yahoo!
Yey! A few more weeks to go, and I am off again, sleeping in my bed and putting all academic worries behind. '~' I can't wait '~'
Last night, I attended the UP Manila Chorale's 14th concert. 4 of my classmates (2 of them, my blockmates, Tricia and Shawie :)) are trainees of the chorale and participated in the said concert. After watching, I felt like I want to join the chorale too ^_^ But then the coming toxicity of my third year in Public Health discouraged the feeling. hay.. Its because joining the chorale means attending practices TF, 7-10 pm. :( And I just can't place that in my schedule.
I had a very long weekend. Classes were suspended (and exams too) from Thursday til Saturday. And there would be no makeup classes for those subjects, hopefully. yehey!! I read a few pages of our Zoology 102 lab manual and a book in organic chemistry..
Btw, I would like to invite you to attend our church's Christmas concert to be held at Festival Supermall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. The show starts at 6 pm. [haha, show]
Bye for now! I am finishing my Zoology assignment.. :( NEVER ENDING

the first day of classes
The semestral break is over. And too bad, I still wasnt able to learn how to play the violin. I wasnt even able to attend Teacher Danielle's classes because I went with my parents window shopping (hmm.. actually the stores didnt have windows, I can't think of a better phrase to describe what we did. hehe). Aarrgh! My dreams are over. Anyway, my parents were looking for pieces of furniture to put in our new (-ly renovated, ?) house, because we are moving in it in 3 days. (Ooh, I'm so excited to see my sister's and my room, ^_^).
Today's the first day of classes, and as I've been expecting, I wasnt able to attend my first class because I had to line up to get my LRA (Late Registration Application). I ended up enlisting for Socsci 2 and Table Tennis for my PE. I was also planning to take street dancing instead of table tennis, actually. (How I wish I's get the schedule and the classes I want!) Anyway, that first class I missed was Zoo 102, which was Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. Too bad, I wasn't able to hear the professor's stories about how difficult this sem would be for us. But my classmates told me that it would be 10 times harder than my previous Zoology course! Scary. But no, I can do it! With God's help of course. :) I would be saying hello again to reading new zoology books and dissecting vertebrates.
My next class was Hum II. Our instructor's name was Bien, and she seemed quite friendly. Though I'm not really fond of art and classical music, I think I can do well in her class this sem. :) She called it a day early and my friends and I headed off to Robinson's Place Ermita to eat at Dimsum and Dumplings. I ate a plate full of calories. (*guilt*) Spicy Squid with Fried Rice and a Strawberry Chill Tea, which tasted sooo good. hehe After eating, Ryan and I went to FIX to have Ryan's hair cut short, which turned out to be cut too short. hehe (*Ryan, we love you!!*)
When our friends saw Ryan's new hair, they all laughed, because he had the same haircut when he was in our first year (which he obviously didnt like). I told Ryan that it was ok, but he insisted that I wasn't telling the truth. Girls have different opinions, dude! :)
I only had 3 classes on my schedule on Tuesdays. PI 100 (or Philippine Institutions 100) was my last class. It was the UP version of other school's Life and Works of Dr. Jose Rizal. Our professor was amazing, and I think he knows all about Philippine History. He told us so much of the Catholic Doctrine and the Spanish times and he even shared us some of his *ethnic* talents, such as kulintang playing and speaking in the Maranao dialect. He was like the Dr. Engle of the DSS! hehe He ended the class by an origami lesson. We made Christmas bells out of white paper, ehehe, and they were cute! He invited us to his voluntary work at the UP Pahinungod, where he teaches street kids origami. Those who would come were given an incentive: extra points! What else could I do? He caught my weakness. So he'll see me on Saturday morning, teaching street kids on how to do paper swans and the like. hehe
I stayed for more than an hour after my last class waiting for mom's text. She told me yesterday that she'd fetch me at school, and that we'd be going home together. They went to Divisoria today for business purposes. At 5:30 pm she told me that I'd better go ahead of them because they were still in Divisoria and they might be staying there for a longer time because they were looking for someone and blahblah.. In other words, I went home by the bus.
My class tomorrow morning starts at 7. That means I have to sleep early. :(
Bye for now!
Today's the first day of classes, and as I've been expecting, I wasnt able to attend my first class because I had to line up to get my LRA (Late Registration Application). I ended up enlisting for Socsci 2 and Table Tennis for my PE. I was also planning to take street dancing instead of table tennis, actually. (How I wish I's get the schedule and the classes I want!) Anyway, that first class I missed was Zoo 102, which was Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. Too bad, I wasn't able to hear the professor's stories about how difficult this sem would be for us. But my classmates told me that it would be 10 times harder than my previous Zoology course! Scary. But no, I can do it! With God's help of course. :) I would be saying hello again to reading new zoology books and dissecting vertebrates.
My next class was Hum II. Our instructor's name was Bien, and she seemed quite friendly. Though I'm not really fond of art and classical music, I think I can do well in her class this sem. :) She called it a day early and my friends and I headed off to Robinson's Place Ermita to eat at Dimsum and Dumplings. I ate a plate full of calories. (*guilt*) Spicy Squid with Fried Rice and a Strawberry Chill Tea, which tasted sooo good. hehe After eating, Ryan and I went to FIX to have Ryan's hair cut short, which turned out to be cut too short. hehe (*Ryan, we love you!!*)
When our friends saw Ryan's new hair, they all laughed, because he had the same haircut when he was in our first year (which he obviously didnt like). I told Ryan that it was ok, but he insisted that I wasn't telling the truth. Girls have different opinions, dude! :)
I only had 3 classes on my schedule on Tuesdays. PI 100 (or Philippine Institutions 100) was my last class. It was the UP version of other school's Life and Works of Dr. Jose Rizal. Our professor was amazing, and I think he knows all about Philippine History. He told us so much of the Catholic Doctrine and the Spanish times and he even shared us some of his *ethnic* talents, such as kulintang playing and speaking in the Maranao dialect. He was like the Dr. Engle of the DSS! hehe He ended the class by an origami lesson. We made Christmas bells out of white paper, ehehe, and they were cute!

my last Friday on break
Its been more than a week since I last posted here. Aww, my mom left me for the Bench & Jerry event in Makati. I did not have the book pass because I don’t have the money & I am not really a fan of Jerry Yan’s. haha
Remember my “pioneer entry”? I found out the reason for my super unexpected grade – I got a perfect score on the final exam! When my friend Belinda told me the news, I didn’t know how to react. Could it be true? I have thought of it as impossible because I actually didn’t have answers for about 2-3 questions. I just used my educated guessing capability (quoting, from Dr. Magboo, a Math professor) to answer those questions. Haha thanks Dr. Magboo! I couldn’t express my gratitude to God in just words. My heart is overflowing with joy. He has given me too much blessings – and not only did He bless me – He has given my family so much too. J
Last November 3, I went to our college to get enrolled. Too bad, I wasn’t able to get slots for the soc sci 2 and PE 2 classes I preenlisted in. That meant I would have to line up for late registration and miss some classes on the first week of the sem. L I hate cutting classes! (GC!)
I also received a copy of my final grades for last sem. I thank God because He made me a college scholar [CS] (GWA: 1.45+ to 1.75). I wasn’t also expecting much (though it would really be frustrating if I wouldn’t be a CS this sem), because I knew my performance this sem was so bad (I didn’t even get a 1.00 for this sem). I just feel like posting my grades here (This is not being too proud of my grades)
Zoology 10 - 1.75
Humanities I - 1.50
Communication III - 1.75
Chemistry 27 - 1.75
Chemistry 27.1 - 1.25
Physics 21 - 2.00
PE 2 Ten-Pin Bowling - 2.00
GWA: 1.713
*Aww.. Im not too good in bowling. :( *
!! The feeling was indescribable. hehe. Thank you God so much!!
hehe, I feel like I’ve posted too much. And I feel too GC. haha Bye!
Oohh, I almost forgot (Thanks ate Joyce, for texting me). I am going to have violin lessons tomorrow! Danielle, our PK (Pastor’s Kid) who’s so good in playing the violin, was willing to save the spirit of the frustrated violinist in me. Hehe Hmm. On the other hand, I feel to old for these lessons, I might not be able to catch the concepts and the ways well. Ooohh, too bad. Lord, give me confidence!

The Jerry Yan fever
I am no fan of Jerry Yan, but we've got lots of F4 stuff at home. And instead of my sister and I fantasizing over this 26 year-old Taiwanese, my Mom goes crazy over his videos, songs, movies, and shows. She even plans to have one corner of her room filled with Jerry Yan stuff. She watches Channel 8 (Myx) every morning and waits for the daily top ten videos where Jerry Yan's new song "Gravity" is on the top spot. It seems like she never gets tired of looking at the man's face. Hoo
Yesterday we went to the Alabang Town Center to buy passes for a Jerry Yan event (to be held in Makati). In order to get a pass, you have to buy 7 Jerry Yan collection shirts from Bench. (And of course, my mom bought 7 shirts! "Lucky" day for the (our) boys!) My sister and I were just staring at her as she made the attendants look for a size of one shirt, and another. Aw, I really can't believe it. She was willing to spend that much money for a pass to see that guy whose face she already saw almost a thousand times on TV and whose voice she's heard for almost eternity (hehe) at our house and in dad's car? [She should have given me the money, and I should have bought jeans or a shirt instead, haha selfish] She did buy me a green skirt, and it was cute (it was on sale, from PhP 429, we had it for only PhP 199).
Sorry, Im not in the mood for blogging, my thoughts are so unorganized.
Bye for now

nothing extra-ordinary
This year's sem break is boring. I do the same routine everyday: Wake up, eat breakfast, watch tv, eat lunch, take a shower, go out with mom to Cabuyao, Laguna, then go home using dad's car. I can feel the calories starting to add up to a pound. Oh no. (Fact! I already lost about 60 pounds since last sem break.) haha
Well, at least I found one thing worth doing. Last night I decided to read the Bible daily. I made a comittment to read 10 verses each day. I started reading Philippians 1 last night, and I tell you, it really made me feel great. I know I should have started reading the Bible years before. It is a shame to admit, but I grew up in a Christian family and church ( and yet I haven't finished reading all the 66 books of the Bible).
I realized all these things when I finished reading "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. I borrowed it from s churchmate, Ate Joyce, who used it for a book report in school. I have heard things about the book before I got hold of it, and mostly those comments were negative. Imagine a secret society hailing Mary Magdalene because they believe that she's the wife of Jesus Christ! It was a shock. Dan Brown was a great writer, no doubt. The book was a page turner (I finished reading it in 5 days (for 3 hrs each day)). But the ideas in it are just unbelievable and absurd.
I would really like to say a few more things, but my time's running out. (I'm in Cabuyao, Laguna right now, and my parents might be already waiting for me)
