7:23 am	Club Noah... yeah... :) I got back from Club Noah yesterday. 4 days, 3 nights of divine white sand and beautiful, sparkly, blue sea, heavenly buffet meals accompanied by wonderful music provided by good friends-- Mitu's Tribe and the world famous Jay Cayuca. The trip was just... sublime. The place was PACKED with so many people, mostly Japanese families with kids that are 6... 7 years old. Our job? To keep them occupied. Hehe. It was funny really, because most of the kids who came to play were all boys... unexpectedly. Actually, we were hoping that the boys would focus on kites and girls on the sandcastle pit, but of course, the boys insisted on making their volcanos and almost fought because they would step on each others mounatains. Anyway, yesterday, I went snorkelling with my sister before breakfast and we came across 1 pawikan, 5 spotted sting rays, 4 bat fish and a whole lot of baby jelly fish. (eew) the water was crystal clear and fish were getting really big! it was beautiful! the day before yesterday, we snorkelled again from our cottage to the west beach. The west beach is a stretch of white sand where the staff set up picnic lunches for guests. When we swam towrads that beach, we had to go through a large patch of shallow water on nothing but white sand. From birds eye view, it would be the green part of the sea... its only green because there isn't a reef underneath. Anyway... it felt like we were in Bikini Bottom. BEE-YOO-TEE-FUL! They put a balsa infront of the WestBeach so we hung out there for a while. We took off all our distracting gear and dived into the water. Hehe. It was great. Then we went to the beach, sneaked into the buffet line and managed to steal spicy grilled chicken and watermelon. I also played beach volleyball with Mauro Agustines. Wowowee. Big time. His family owns RAMCAR, he used to be my ate's boss, but he's really cool and a kid at heart. Haha. His shorts kept falling off so he had to pull them up again and again. His girlfriend initially told us we'd eventually get used to it and we did. Haha. Nice couple :) His girlfriend Annie is a Trillo and used to play for Pretty in Pink... Cool ka lang, Relax ka lang song? yeah... Now she plays for Megan Aguilar in Hong Kong :) What else... What else... Hmmm yeah. Dominic Ochoa was there with his girlfriend, I think. Stupid. They kept coming out late to meals. yesterday daw, before their departure at 6 am. they came late nanaman for breakfast so they ended up not being able to eat before leaving. Haha. Oh yeah! I know na how to fly a kite... Well. :) Current Mood: O happy day :) Current Music: beautiful world - cold play (Comment on this)

1:07 pm	aww yeh! dingoes :) Bar Pic Originally uploaded by Summerbum. These guys over here are my new friends from Club Noah, Will and Ben. They're British. Ben resides in the UK attending uni at Durham and Will lives in Perth but will soon be moving to Newcastle to take uni. Their dad works for Heinz (yeah the ketchup) and the two have been to the Philippines twice. Without any friends to take them out, my sisters and i took the liberty of hanging out with them in Makati. We took them to Chilies only to find out that they would prefer Jollibee over the 3000 Php bill my sister had to charge to her card. It's amazing because they actually had fun here. Will said he'd be back for easter because he won't be doing anything until september, while Ben said he had some work to do. But the day before they left, Ben told me that we should go diving during easter (which means he'll definitely be back too) hehe. My sisters and I are so fond of them because considering their social stature (being expats), they've adjusted well to the Philippines. Take this, their driver took them to cock fighting, and they were more amused that appalled by it. I've never really spoken to tourists who'd consider going back to to the Metro (they always came back for the beach or whatever). They're just so down to earth! hehe. awwww yeh :) dingoes :) i've made so many cool friends this christmas. I'll list them down :) - The Robinsons (Ben and Will) - The swiss and belgians (michele, francois, france, greg and fred) -The Takahashis (Miho, Yuka and Tomoko) -The Manotocs (Greg, Franny, Gabby, Wanny, Stevie) -The Swedish couple who had three kids who survived the Tsunami in Phuket (Lucy and Hans) - The fellers from Hong Kong (Meehee and Hans) - Mr. John Harp (Jap who had a Christian Name) - Mizuki (the kid who told us she didn't know her name at first because she calimed her parents never told her) -Minami Inoue (Lisane's Age. A sarcastic Jap-American who claims she's bad in Japanese but now lives in Japan anyway.) -Michelle (a 9 year old filipina girl who has a british for a step-dad, which is really cool because he's a great guy) - i think i forgot the rest the rest i think are repeaters already. Tsuboi san aka Uncle Tsuboi was also there. He's 60 plus and he's sort of adopted us. He gave me and my sisters 14k Gold necklaces with our names engraved on them, which turned out to cost up to 300$ a piece. ohhh yeah. we gave him a gift and he told us he didn't want gifts in return because he makes much more thanwe do. hehe. this guy owns 10 ad companies in japan, whose clients stretch out to america. he also has a eukalele company in hawaii. hehe cool huh? he also has a scooter in Club Noah to ensure his transportation from his cottage to the mess hall. harharhar. anyway, i just finished Jane Eyre after so many weeks of trying to finish it. well, it's a good book. very captivating but too much happened towards the end. instead that jane and mr. rochester live happily ever after, the latter had to lose his arm and an eye. THEN they get married after a really good looking feller proposes marriage to Jane. Damn. And oh yeah, there are too many people named John and Mary in the book! hmm yeah i also want to quote some lines from the book because they're COOl. Mr Rochester: "I was once content and stimulated with what I saw: I liked what i had seen and wished to see more. Yet, for a long time, I treated you distantly, and sought your company rarely. I was an intellectual epicure, and wished to prolong the gratification of making this novel and piquant aquaintances: besides, I was for a while troubled with a haunting fear that if i handed the flower freely, its bloom would fade-- the sweet charm of freshness would leave it. -i think this was when Mr Rochester was about to propose marriage.- -the next one was quoted in a conversation towards the end when Jane has returned to her master after an entire year- Mr. Rochester: Hitherto I have hated to be helped-to be led: henceforth, I feel I shall hate it no more. I did not like to put my hand into a hireling's, but it is pleasant to feel it circled by Jane's little fingers.I preferred utter loneliness to the constant attendance of servants; but Jane's soft ministery will be perpetual joy. Jane suits me: do I suit her? Jane: To the finest fibre of my nature, sir. ¤sigh¤ its such a romantic book though the guy ended up half blind and crippled. oh yeah, and did I mention that he's ugly?!

9:39 pm	raar i am about my first irregularity on my fgr. I AM GETTING A 7. it is equivalent to an incomplete. i had to hold my grade until i actually organize myself before actually grinding to a real thesis. at least i wouldn't have to enroll for it next term. i just have to submit my actual proposal without having to attend class. isn't that great? whoopdidoo. im really going to fix it this time. I REALLY WILL. the 7 will change as soon as i submit the actual document. and the 7 saved my life. thank you 7. anyway, i was on an fx going home and the smell of the vehicle reminded me so much of my school bus when i was in highschool. it had this peculiar smell that i get a wiff of every morning + the chill of the air coming from the airconditioner. its so nice to smell a familiar scent after so many years :) Current Mood: :) (Comment on this)

10:04 am	looking back looking few years back, there were so many things that i thought i enjoyed so much. i was looking through my friendster database (after forever) and i came across a few people i've known for the longest time... the people i've always loved hanging out with and talking with. people i've missed and loved and cherished for the longest time, or so i thought. i thought it was normal to feel nostalgic all the times when i remembered these "important people" of my life. when i remember them i feel the longing of bringing back the old days when everything was too carefree to actually be perceptive of what was actually going on. i realized today, how could i ever want to be with these people when these people never really wanted me to be happy with their company? they wanted to be happy with my company and never really thought of everybody else. they've been selfish, cruel and abusive to one's enthusiasm and friendliness. it irritates me that i fell for it. stupid. now, when i look at old pictures, i don't feel really happy for myself. i feel used and well, not good enough. they've always wanted models and actresses and of the like, so what did they want from me? i hate them. they make me feel as if i'm never going to be enough. that i have to be more that what i am now. that all my efforts are so useless because no matter what i'll ever do, i'll never be enough. but now its too late. what happened? my life happened. this is the outcome of wrong decisions. i have to live with it. and for the longest time, i thought that they made my memories colorful and nothing could ever compare my life then to my present mediocre life. i want to get rid of old memories and change them to something worth looking back for, but if i get rid of them, what would be left of my life? mediocrity? a mediocre life is not worth living at all. Current Mood: i've wasted half of my life... Current Music: sirius barking (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:16 am	hell is opening up an will swallow me whole... today is the official start of my hell week for this term. i have one defense, though it's the biggest one i'd have to take to get our of farking college. but the great thing about it is that i assigned the presentation to someone I CAN'T EVEN TRUST. What a fucker. anyway, i got the presentation today and it was hmmm. ok i guess but needs a bit of fixing, only a little bit. yapoo thank God. i have a long test, but should be relatively short compared to the previous once, and i have another test on the same day of my test. how wonderful. anyway, i'm definitely looking forward to our annual Club Noah Trip, though i really want to spend time with good friends this holiday season. anyway, it's time for family after all. we are leaving on the 26th and coming home on the 3rd yippee.i'd be skipping school on the very first day! ¤sigh¤ Current Mood: crazy Current Music: blech (Comment on this)

2:46 am	old man turned 98... yesterday (2 hours ago)i was on my way to school. i was in an fx towards the mrt and in front of me was an old may and a woman around 40. the man started to look at my manual that said "Sun Educational Service" or something like that. He started talking to me about school and computers and all that. i got freeaked out at first because, well, a man in an fx starts talking to you... well... its down right freaky, right? anyway, as soon as we entered the topic of computers, the lady beside him started to talk to me too. she participated in the conversation by asking the man where his daughter graduated, and then she mentioned her kid graduated from the ateneo and how she's doing so well being a programmer and all. i was really amazed with that particular conversation because it isn't everyday you get those. anyway, the old man started telling me a story about his life. he was an electrical engineer major who wanted to take up law so after engineering, he took up a BA course, then he went to law. before the board exam, he was offered a scholarship to manchester. of course he accepted. when he returned, he took up the board and realized that he wanted to be part of the air force but couldn't because he had 25 20 vision. so, he setteled as a nuclear engineer. i dunno if his story is true, but anyway... after passing sm north, he started talking about how lucky he is and is children. his secret is sharing his life with God. he's so lucky that God blessed his kids too, who, by the way, have moved to the states already. when we were already near the mrt, he stopped the vehicle and before he got out, he told me "SM lang dapat ako... gusto ko lang ishare sayo yung blessing ko because i want to help you. thank you for listening. good luck, hah?" when he said that, i felt good because i think that old man was right. and i listened. it feels weird. anyway, i just got back from a neighbors party. roanne just graduated yesterday and is top 3 of her class. i have friends over there. i wanna go back. hehe Current Mood: weird Current Music: a john mayer song. i can't remember the title. sucker i thnk (Comment on this)

10:44 pm	think think think... i was thinking of what i wrote here earlier on how poverty does not excuse anyone from doing bad things... but it certainly gives them a reason to... oh well. just a thought. i was waiting for my dad in mcdo ts with my ate cielo awhile ago after 3 hours of going around megamall to look for lisane's bday gift. we were laughing about everything. im sick but there's just something about being sisters. its so easy to make them laugh even though you've been making them laugh for all those years. its just nice to look back and reveal secrets that you've never revealed. haha :) when my sister was young, she didn't have hair. what she'd do is get my towel (i was a baby). you know the towel where moms wrap their babies after a bath? the one that has a wrap for the head? that one. she'd put it on her head and pretend that its her hair. she'd walk around with it and everyone would look. i told her awhile ago, all along she thought she was the shy one, but in reality, as a kid, i was the shy one. i did the same thing, only better. i'd get my moms hair clips and clip my fake hair. i always did it in a room... alone. anyway, we got lisane a nice pink dress with flowers from just g(that i can borrow) and a pair of cheap slippers (the dress was expensive) Current Mood: singhot... Current Music: none (Comment on this)
10:02 am	yesterday, we were on the jeep on our way to the mrt station from mcdonalds. when we got on the jeep (corner makati ave and buendia), the green light went on on on the middle of the intersection, the jeepney stopped to let a passenger in. so, since the green light was on, the cars behind him started honking at the jeepney. the jeepney driver, being the asshole that he is, got irritated and started to hmm... how do you call that? he was stoping abruptly within very short distances to irritate the drivers behind him. when they did an overtake, he'd swear at them. a guy on a motorcycle told him it was wrong to stop on a green light, and he went on about he was letting some passengers ride and it was so totally allowed there. they were fighting when this guy beside me was shushing him because he actually was wrong. he went "pulis ako. mali ka". yeah sure. police -_- and he was telling the driver off and the driver wouldn't give in. he wouldn't admit he was wrong. he still went on about how it is ok to stop in the middle of an intersection. the rest of the ride, he was mumbling on how he has to make a living and that he's poor. being poor does not give anyone an excuse to go against the law. stupid bastard.

10:38 pm	sad but true..... im so tired. anyway. i gotta make this a shorty. i just had to write something here today before i forget all about it. i was on the mrt on my way to school at around oh i dunno, 10:30? i got on a train in the north station which is good, because i can sit comfortably. i was sitting next to 2 guys who got on the station after north which was ok because no one was standing up. when we got to the next station, a pregnant woman got on the train and had to stand up in front of the two guys beside me. i was kinda waiting for them to get the hell up from their seats, but of course they didn't. good thing i was wearing sunglasses today because i was staring at the woman if she really WAS pregnant. i was afraid of humiliating her by letting her take my seat when really, she's just, well, fat. so anyway, i took time looking at her seeing if she really as pregnant. i realized her tummy's too big to be NOT pregnant, so, instead of waiting for the guys to stand up, i stood up instead. i was sort of expecting the guys to move to make way for the woman but no... they let her walk towards my seat!!! MY GOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS WORLD?!??!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Current Mood: ☼sigh☼ Current Music: Uh-oh (Comment on this)

1:28 pm	ho ho ho sana christmas na You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without fear or reservation. The childish nature of the Sun allows you to play and feel free. Exploration can truly take place in the light of day when nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays fill you with energy so that you may live life to its fullest, milking pleasure out of each day. Such joy and energy can bring wealth and physical pleasure. To shine in the light of day is to have confidence, to soak up its rays is to feel the freedom of a child.
