I'm so happy with my new plastic cabinet. My two, wooden, small cabinets got wrecked by the flash flood during the tropical storm Ondoy. So instead of buying or asking for another wooden cabinet, I just got this. My stuffs and books are all organize now and just in case there'll be another flash flood again, I can just bring my things to an elevated place without my cabinet getting damaged just like before. ^__^

Finally, I can have 4 days trimestral break! It was suppose to have started last Monday but we still have to present a tableau painting today (thursday). Me and my groupmates are still preparing for it and I hope it'll turn out alright. The classes for the 2nd trimester are suppose to resume on Monday but I think there'll be a holiday...which is the end of Ramadan, if I'm not mistaken. So this weekend, I won't be busy. I can have some time for myself atlast!!! i'm just hoping that they'll be giving our salary so I can visit my dad. It's been a long time since we've seen each other because I was too occupied, even on weekends, to do my plates.

Oh,...And I'm going to have my hair relaxed coz' I can't afford to have it rebonded yet! LOL! My hair is longer now and the ends are curly because I had them curled before when it was still short.
I'm planning to get it straight again. XD

Gosh, I almost forgot about the essay! 8(

I really need a lot of extra time these days. Last weekend, I was supposed to do some plates after doing the laundry. But some of my classmates informed me that our class was invited to attend the opening of an exhibit. So, I just took a rest for a while and proceeded to our meeting place in D. Jose LRT station at 5pm. Some of our classmates backed out so... only 3 of them waited for me in Recto LRT2 station. It was only me, Alyhnna, Alan, and Ron. When we arrived in Mag.Net, some of the guys were already there so we just checked out the paintings and then left at pass 8.

It was such a good experience for us. However, I was still worried about my plates.

Yesterday instead of doing them, I prioritized my video clip first coz it's deadline already. I didn't know that it's really going to take me a lot time before I can finish it so unfortunately, I wasn't able to do my projects again last weekend. I hope to finish everything this week.

Our family used to take care of many cats. But when I moved to live seperately from them, I never took care of any pet.
I live alone and sometimes I feel sad when I have nobody to talk to until Buringaw came to my life. I don't really own him. He's just a typical cat that lives freely in my neighborhood. He was a small tabby back then but grew up to be a nice and loving adult cat. He never laid a paw on me and he liked sleeping beside or sometimes, on top of my tummy. He was so warm and I could really feel how much he liked me. He just visits me when he needed some food but never complained when I didn't have anything to feed him. He was like that all the time. Unlike other snobbish cats,he liked playing and calling me.

I used to see him outside our gate around 4 o'clock in the morning. Before I go to work, I used to say goodbye to him and pats his head. I felt really secured going to work because I felt like he's guiding me while I walk on the dark street of Vito Cruz. But last Friday (August 14, 2009), I just saw him lying in our house without any reaction. I called his name not just once, but there was no response. I came to him and realized that there was something wrong. He wasn't as heavy as he used to although he was still breathing. I've seen this kind of situation before with other cats and I know he's dying. But what hurts me the most was, I couldn't do anything. It was too late.

I still don't know the cause of his death. We are thinking that maybe, somebody poisoned or threw him really hard. I just hope that person will get what he deserves for doing such a bad thing to animals.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take any pictures of him...
Farewell, my beloved Buringaw... I won't ever forget you...

It's really funny how this day went by. Honestly, I almost forgot about it because of my busy schedule. I have more students than the usual now at work and I have to do a lot of things at school so I didn't know that this day was coming. Good thing, we have facebook!!!

Whenever I'm having my birthday, I usually wait for the rain. Actually I notice it just three years ago, that whenever it rains on my birthday, good things happen in my year. In 2007, it didn't rain but in 2008, it rained so I think last year was a good one for me although I still experienced few bad things, which I think, were blessings in disguise. But for this year, it didn't rain. It was so warm and it's warmer for me because I was wearing black the whole day. Anyway, I still want to think positively so nothing bad will happen.

I didn't have money during that day so I just kept quite about it. I treated Friday just like any other working day so I just focused to my classes. After work, I went to school because we were required to attend and perform for the Acquaintance party. We mostly seen dance performances from the other sections so I guess our class had the most unique number. We did an interpretation for the song " Isang Dugo, Isang Lahi, Isang Bansa", if I'm not mistaken. We just wore some Filipinana and Muslim costumes and did some hand movements. It wasn't really that good but I guess they liked it because it was the most formal among those performances.

We decided to go home around 5pm but some of my classmates invited me to join them in a bar. Well, it sort of annoyed me because I'm 7-8 years older than them but I still went there. It was just a small place in Sherwood near La Salle but I had a good time. There was this girl who danced really well on top of the table and even on top of the bar. I was really fascinated with how she's able to move smoothly while wearing high heels on top of the bar, which I think can absolutely kill me if I do it! Anyway, they had some sort of dare games but I honestly didn't enjoy it. I kinda experienced a culture shock though it's fun! They just didn't realize that I was silently celebrating my 25th birthday with them! Then, I decided to just go home right away because I felt tired of that busy day.

As you see, I'm back to school.
I just wanna share these things that make me smile because I can't believe I'm doing them again.

1. Covering my books and notebooks with a plastic cover.
    (I really hate doing it! I was never good at it.)

2. Teacher's assistant.
    (I'm not the teacher's pet type even when I was in highschool. I hate doing requests from my teachers.
     But since I look different from my classmates because I'm turning 25 already, my teacher usually appoints me to do these stuffs.)

3. Exchanging papers and writing corrected by.
    (We had three seatworks last Thursday. After doing them, the teacher told us to exchange papers with our classmates and write corrected  by. It sounded really cheesy to me, but it makes me feel good. LOL!)

It's very hard to live a life full of complexities. People has their own complicated lives. I have a complicated life. So what?
I'm trying my best to simplify things as much as possible. I had a complicated past, that's why I'm trying to make it simpler now.
But how come people with simple lives, try to complicate theirs?

Anyway, it's none of my business. I don't have to care about them because that's what they really want to happen.

Napaka-pakialamera ko talaga. Tangina naman.

It's really wonderful going back to school again. I met a lot of young people and some adults. But, it wasn't really that exciting for me now like when I was in highschool. Everything has changed a lot especially my looks, so I guess I should act according to my age. I better stop being so childish as soon as I can. LOL!

I only have three subjects to attend for the 1st trimester so I'm not really that stressed out. My school is very close to my place and I can really save a lot of time.I think God provided me all the things that I really need such as my job, comfortable room, my simple laptop, pentab (from Conde), good people around me, and a loving boyfriend. Aside from that, my Aunt Bernadette secured my little sister's college education in Bacolod. And it lessen all the loads that I'm having right now.

I'm too blessed! I feel like I'm a spoiled bratt!

But, I still have to deal with my personal responsibilities. Since I'm paying more now for my education unlike before in PUP, I really have to save money. And most of all, I have to organize everything to save TIME.

I really thank God for all the things he provided me.

TIME is not."

It was reeeeeally rainy last week!
I've got tons of plans last Saturday but kinda hesistant to do them because of the weather.

But I reeeeeally have to do them. =(

So...I woke up around 8am to prepare our breakfast and then, took a shower.
After that, we went to Conde's place in New Intramuros village. That's because, we had arranged a meeting with some cosplay guys for a project.
Together with my boyfriend, Conde, and Ginio, I went to Talipapa in Novaliches to visit their hideout.
My friend Conde, introduced the Oni Bear cosplayer's group to us and we had a good time.
We discussed and planned some activities regarding our indie project and, I can really say that they are very smart lads.
I was really impressed with their works. It's really wonderful to meet simple, fun, wacky,smart and most of all, CREATIVE people like them.
We headed back to Conde's flat after that and he showed me some cool, amazing, and inspiring videos on Youtube.

Around 6pm, I left Ginio in Conde's place because I had to meet Kuya Mayong and Ate Marianne around 7pm in Marikina.
We fetch brother RR and headed to BigWay Resto and Music bar in San Mateo, Rizal by 8pm.
They introduced me to their friend who works there, to the the bar owner, and to some people.
We watched the band Rated S (I hope it's correct!) afterwards, and it was great! They're really proffesional performers!
We did some shit, este... chitchats and asaran as usual! It's really fun to be with ate Marianne and the other fellas again!XD
We left the bar around 1pm. I think everybody was really satisfied!

I arrived home at 3am.
Ang saya-saya! ^__^

   When I saw an article about this movie, "Sherlock Holmes (2009)", I knew that this is going to be really interesting! And yes, it is! It will be Robert Downey, Jr. who's gonna be portraying Sherlock Holmes. And Watson, will be done by Jude Law! Oh my God! I can't wait anymore!

I'm very eager to see this film. But according to the news from the Warner Bros., they'll officially release it on December 25 this year!
Still a long time to wait... ;(

I had a hard time at work today. I wasn't able to manage my call schedules well, so I had several complains with my classes.
I feel terribly bad about my performance.
Huhuhuhu!

;(
 

   I've been with Spicus for a year. Sadly, I have to leave for some personal reasons. I met a lot of people, made a lot of friends, …and learned a lot of things from my peers and also, from my students.

  I’m really thankful that this company gave me a lot of good experiences although there were bad ones when it comes to some irregularities from the labor code. My students there were all nice and shared a lot of things to me. I’ll never forget them.

  I will miss all of my childish colleagues who became my friends and joke-time pals in the long run. All of them are nice, unlike with my previous companies. And, I’m happy that they became a part of my life.

I will also miss my Korean managers especially Ms Kate and Ms Jini. They’re still nice with us even though they sometimes catch us sleeping and texting during the working hours. Hehe!^__^

So Long!!!At last!!!

Been seriously into badminton these days.

Me and some of my workmates play twice a week in a badminton center called “Metro” in Boni. I think it’s about time for me to be into some kind of sports because I’ve never been really active for the past few years. Good thing, my friend Mau invited me on this. And, I’m beginning to like it now.

To Hold-uppers, Pick pockets, Snatchers….

…MGA PUTANG INA NYO!!!(…FUCK YOU ALL!!!)

For those people who are concern with me, here’s what happened…

I got held-up last January 5, 2009(Monday), around 4 o’clock in the morning near my place. There was no one around. I was taking a long walk to the jeepney stop when it happened. I didn’t exactly know what’s in my head at that time and I got really shocked when those three young men riding in a motorcycle stopped in front of me and declared ”Hold-up”. A guy approached me to grab my bag and the other one checked my pocket and took my cell phone. After that, they happily went back on their motorcycle and looked really thankful on what they’ve taken from me. Instead of going to the office, I had decided to just go home to report what had happened.

Those three hold-uppers got my old model of Nokia phone (6510) and my bag without any money in it (Good thing, they weren’t able to check my right pocket where I placed my coin purse).Sad to admit but, most of my stuffs were just going to be worthless to them. Even though, they had my IDs, important printed files, and my sim card.

Then last February 16, 2009(Monday), my other phone was also taken by a pick pocket in the bus where I was. It was a very inconvenient day for me because the road was wet because of the rain and I was carrying a big bag. I took a bus that we’re having a lot of standing passengers because I was almost late on my work. I was supporting my bag and I think, the pickpocket took advantage of that to get my cheap Nokia 3530 in my left side pocket. I just noticed that it’s gone when I was able to get a seat already inside the bus.

So guys, just contact me through my YM, friendster.com, or multiply.com accounts.

Thanks!

May God give those people what they deserve
