Stuck in Twelve-tide, Third to the Seventh Day of Christmas

26th December, Wednesday

I started on some of the things that I should have started a few weeks ago. Finally had the will to fight the urge to slack off. Don't really remember much of what happened that day but what I cannot forget is that I missed an episode of Born to be Wild because of a sudden, unannounced power interruption. Huwaaah~ Garduch-samaaa!!! I didn't really mind having to eat a candlelit dinner, and I was wishing, praying hard that the current will be back in time for the show but... But... Oh! Darn, Meralco! Grrr...

27th December, Thursday

(...) Ellipses. Tuldok. Tuldok. Tuldok. 'Di ko maalala. The end. Hehehe.

Oh, yeah. Suddenly felt like hiking. I asked some of my friends if they want to join me. I want to do some physical activities this Christmas break [nainggit ako sa ibang tao jan, hehe] and I've been wanting to climb Batulao since sem break. Hahaha. The plans aren't polished yet but, yeah, we are definitely climbing Batulao! I wanted to join the make-up climb but it would be less expensive than joining them though I still might join the make-up climb. Hehehe

Got an invitation to a friend's birthday party, and bored as I am, I would never miss out on an opportunity to party with my friends. It was of short notice, but, hey, I have nothing to do so I decided to go. Partyaaay!!!

28th December, Friday

Been having sleeping problems since the Christmas break started, so I woke up late in the afternoon. Fixed myself right away and went to meet my friends for the party. I was so much looking forward to going to this party knowing someone I've been wanting to see lives within the area where we're going. I wanted to belive that the place is calling me, wishing he'll only be a few blocks away and somehow, he'd feel my presence and go to see me there. But that's just too weird to actually happen. Anyway, so, yeah, I met up with my friends and most of them were actually late because they went to play CoD.

So we got to the place. Ayos, ang daming pagkain. My fave was the chopsuey with very fresh veggies and the lumpiang shanghai. Yum! And there was everybody's all-time favorite, videoke! Hehehe. Loved the two-layer cake too, pineapple chiffon and, my favorite flavor, mocha. Everything was so good except for one of the dishes that tasted weird. Hehehe. Me and a friend thought that there was something neither fishy, porky, beefy, nor chicken-y about it. We were thinking... Hehehe, nevermind. Must be the way it was cooked or at least we'd like to think it that way. Anyway, so we sang the night away. We ate, we sang, we ate again, we played Patintero like little kids, we shared jokes, ate some more, sang again. We stayed up till morning of the next day.

29th December, Saturday

It was a sleepover without the 'sleep' part. Some of us strolled while the others watched Code Geass. When we got back, we ate some more, we started noticing that the moon was forming a big arc around it.  We called the others to see it too. It was becoming more and more visible as the night [or day, since it's past midnight]. The sky is clear, and the moon was so bright, the stars were too. I wished, again, that I had an SLR. We brought out a sheet to lie on and watched the moon and stars. Yosh, I imagined this scene more dreamy and even romantic, if only HE was there, and we were above the mountain, under the stars, Awww... Dreamy-eyed child being TOO dreamy again. So there, everyone was wide awake, not a blink of sleep. We talked about our own theories on the 'halo': 1) the ozone layer has opened, and the end has come, 2) it is a portal in which a Kuuma gunship will penetrate and start invading earth, 3) the moon is starting to form its own icering like that of Saturn and other planets, 4) it is a blackhole, and it going to suck us all in 5) it is a window to another world, and aliens are going to suck us in, 6) it is an aura borealis in Asia?, 7) A new galaxy is forming, and lots more stuff. Yes, we all came up with weird-enough-to-be-funny conclusions on how that ring came to be. After stargazing, and the others, playing PlayStation, we went to the playground and talked about more stuffs, theories, and philosophies. We went back to the house and raided the kitchen, and made something up for breakfast. I ate cake. Hehehe. The others are still playing PS. Very few had a chance to doze off a little, but most of us were very up and very much alive. Had this mini-meeting about G-Ken while the others were still glued to PS. A few more games and then we're off. We were each given freebies since it was a debut we went to. Then we went to another friend's house and stayed for a while. Still no neither blink nor wink of sleep but up and almost-still alive, with the thoughts of seeing him again still wide awake inside my head. Then we went to 7/11 for breakfast then Migueebytes for a game of CoD and DotA. Till we finally went home with circles under our eyes and happiness in our hearts and sleepiness in our heads, hehehe.

Got home at about 5pm. I was away and awake for more than 24 hours. I took a bath, got dressed, brushed my teeth, and then slept right away. Woke up 9pm. Ate dinner and stayed for a few more hours. Got the details for the hike and I am very excited. I started writing this post until it was 3am again and I didn't finish so I decided to call it a night and continue writing the next day.

By the way, I'd like you all to meet Leonidas, my dæmon. See that flash animation below, that's him. If you wanna know more about dæmons, read His Dark Materials [The Golden Compass/ Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass] by Philip Pullman, watch The Golden Compass or just go to goldencompassonline.com. Hehehe Cool, neh?

30th December, Sunday

I woke up a few hours past noon. Finally had the sleep I missed for a day. Still have my trademark under-eye circles but I look better now than last night. Not sure I remember what I ate for lunch or dinner, after that I watched tv, did a little vocalizing, took a bath then went back to sleep. Got a message from a friend informing us that the phenomenon we've witnessed the other night is called 'moon halo'.

I woke up at 11pm and made something for late night dinner or midnight snack? Watched Strong Words. Went online to continue writing this entry and search for more information and pictures on moon phenomenas. Had conference with friends about our Post-New Year trip. Up to this hour, I am still writing this post. Haaay...

So it's morning again, and it the 31st of December, Monday. A few more hours and it will be 2008. My brother still hasn't come home since he went somewhere a few weeks ago. The boy has issues and... Uhh! Never mind! He's old enough to know what's good for him. Anyway, I did this little Friendster thingy out of boredom and it turned out, well, quite amusing. Here are the results:

1 7 - my lucky number
2 5 - no. of people I like
3 **** **** - the one I love
4 **** - person I care most of
5 **** - person who knows me very well
6 **** - my lucky star?
7 ****** - person I like but relationship cannot work
8 Downpour - song for person no. 3
9 Somewhere - song for person no. 7
10 Memories - song that most tell about my mind
11 Inconsolable - song that tell how i feel about life

Gazing at the skies was quite an experience. It made me think of a lot of things, a lot more things than I usually think of. Like things I do, places I want to go to, places I want to go back to, that person I care about, those kind of stuffs. Everything's vague actually. I mean, I like this person but I was thinking if it's finally time to let go of the hopes that I'll ever see him again or that we'll even be together, plans after graduation, will I even graduate, things I wanna buy for myself, stuffs I wanna do in life. Those things... Can't really think straight when i talk about these kind of things. I was also thinking of ways on how I can raise the fund I need for my major climb this January [Pulag, beybeh!] and buying the gears and equipments I need. Oh, man! Now I need a job! Hahaha.

Oops, long post. Hehehe.

A Good morning and a Happy New Year, everyone!

Twelve-tide, On the Second Day of Christmas

So, a day's past. Christmas is over and it's not like I even felt it come, just knew it had already gone. Period.

Okay, it's way past bedtime, not for me though. The day's just getting started. The mosquitoes are too. Anyway...  Productivity is so much of a problem these days. I just might die of boredom. I'm so stuck here at home, and I wanna go somewhere, do something. Climb maybe? Anywhere. Anytime. Anything. I wanted to watch a movie but I'm thinking of something else. I mean, cause and effect; if I go watch a movie blah-blah-blah.. You know, those things. I should be doing something but I can't get started. Projects, concepts, artworks, designs, fixing my room and my closet. All I'm actually doing is snoozing the holidays away. I'm bored with being bored. I want to try not being bored. I so lack inspiration, and I so lack the appetite to work on something. Hahaha, excuses! I'm just lazy. That's just it.

I had an unlikely conversation with an unlikely person. It was actually a witful conversation, at three in the morning, and it jumped from one topic to another, till it ended to the topic of Muppets and puppets. Hahaha. Thank you very much, nawindang ako sa daming facts. Hehehe

Finances, baby! I'm so broke and I have lots of expenses, not part of the family budget to worry about. Fucked up school projects, huwaaah~ Pulag, I don't even have my own backpack yet. I want to and I will invest on my gears and gadgets in time but not just yet. I don't always have money when I need it, and when I have some, it's not always enough. I'm afraid  will have to ask money to pour down from heaven. Hahaha. Love will find a way.. Hahaha. Goodluck sa akin.  Ugh...

It's almost New Year, time for Chinese Horoscopes and Forecasts again!!! I am actually reading one as I write this line. And because I have ran out of idea of what to write, I'll post what I'm reading instead. Check n'yo na lang, antok na 'ko eh. Just scroll down, beybeh!

*****

This person is White Dog, born in the year of Red Tiger.

The first character in DAY represents this person. So he or she is Male Metal-Type person.

The Birth Chart

Birthday: July 5, 1986   Birth Hour: 12 Minute: 55
The Five Element Weights and Personality Chart

People have different Five Element weights in their Birth Chart. Each element implies one kind of personality. The Wood-type personality is kind, the Fire-type personality is polite, the Earth-type personality is trustful, the Metal-type person is righteous and the Water-type personality is smart. Because a person's Birth Chart usually contains five elements, there will always be mixed personalities.

Each element has a good and bad side of personality. If the weight of an element is between 15% and 25%, that implies a good side of personality. If the weight of an element is less than 8% or greater than 30%, that implies a bad side of personality. All other weights imply mixing the good and the bad side of the personality.

This Male Metal-Type person, basically, shows Fire-type personality in the daily life.

42% Fire-Type Personality

People with Firer-type personality are courteous, eloquent, polite and expressive. They are good at compliments in speech.

Fire people are energetic, artistic, passionate, easily excitable, and have a tendency to rapidly change emotional states as well as become aggressive. They love sensation, drama and sentiment. They seek joy, gratification and the attention of others. They like to be invited to a party and dislike being alone.

People with excess Fire are often talkative, overstated, overexcited, overheated, sweet-talking, smart and restless. They tend to lecture and offend others because of their short temper.

25% Earth-Type Personality

People with Earth-type personality are trustful, steady, loyal and responsible. They are honest, religious, reliable, and keep their promises.

The characteristics of Earth are standing still, being slow and steady, and stationary. Therefore the Earth people don't like to move their body and change their mind too often. They are honest, trustworthy, and responsible. They also have good faith. They can sit in one position for a long time. They accept religion since they like rumination and meditation. They are slow to react. They like to collect things, and enjoy their collectables at home, but not outdoors.

When their ambition and optimism is overwhelming, Wood-types can become upset, nervous, unstable, impatient, intolerant, and lose their humor by the frustration of many obstacles.

14% Wood-Type Personality

People with Wood-type personality are kind, steady, sympathy-sharing, understanding and gentle. They like to help people and make donations.

The essence of Wood is a tree. The force inside the tree is like growing upward to the sky. Trees often compete with each other aggressively when growing up. Because of the characteristics of trees, Wood-type people are steadfast, organized, logical, practical, innovative, unique, assertive, fortitudinous, independent, challenging and direct. They like to plan things, take action, and go on adventures and challenges. They are perfectionists who tend to push themselves to the limit and seek out the best, and take first place in competition.

When their ambition and optimism is overwhelming, Wood-types can become upset, nervous, unstable, impatient, intolerant, and lose their humor by the frustration of many obstacles.

12% Water-Type Personality

People with Water-type personality are smart, wise, frank, and resourceful. They have good memories and think before they leap.

There are two types of Water: Floating Water and Still Water. Floating Water makes people active and restless and feel like traveling. Still Water makes people clam and peaceful.

5% Metal-Type Personality

People with Metal-type personality are righteous, faithful, gallant and chivalrous. They like to know and help people.

Metal is the substance in which internal particles squeeze and condense together. There is a force from the outside to the inside that keeps Metal hard. Metal reflects light, so it is shiny. It may have a clear sound when it's hit. Therefore, a Metal-type person has great strength, discipline and enough courage to aid needy people, which may make them famous.

People that lack Metal are quiet, cautious and nervous. They tend to think too much, and cannot make quick decisions. They do not express what is on their minds in public, but will complain about something afterwards.

---

General Information for Male Metal-type people born in Horse Month

The general description about this person is opinionated, adventurous, subjective, revolutionary, persistent and forceful.

One word for people born in this month is passionate.

These people appear lively and cheerful. Others usually accept their brilliant ideas. Their intelligent statements in social situations and good conversational skills always attract people to follow their ideas. They have good inflow of money, but often spend it to show off. However, it will not cause them any financial difficulties, since they are good at seeking profitable financial opportunities. They are very self-righteous. They always express their discontent if they are not completely satisfied and always become very frustrated. If they cannot find satisfaction in work, they might quit immediately. They give up love very easily too. They make hasty decisions, as they are unable to focus and organize their thinking on a subject. They tend to change their minds very often and do not want to act. Their passions only burn for a a short time and cool down very soon in both love and career.

Twelve-tide, On the First Day of Christmas

Before anything else, Merry Christmas!

So...

Okay, believe it or not, I went to hear mass this morning and yesterday morning. Before that, the last time I heard mass was when we had our retreat last June. Even before that, the last time I went to church was two to three years ago when I still had REED class. I know what others think but who cares. Anyway, so, I've seen very familiar scenes from masses from years ago; children running around, couples cuddling, teenagers talking instead of listening, adults, you know, things like that. Nothing new, aside from the tunes of some of the church songs. Actually, I wouldn't have gone if my friends didn't come with me. Even the church is too lonely when you're alone and I can pray without having to go to church. The feeling of being back in the church again wasn't any different from any other day. Maybe because my faith has turned towards a different direction, different from others, you may not understand. =)

We had cheeseburger for breakfast this morning after mass, and, man, that burger was soooo good. And I enjoyed walking along Nueno Avenue at five in the morning from the cathedral. I don't know, today's been such a sweet morning because I'm having "weird thoughts" again. Possibilities are endless. I'm having weird ideas of "possibilities". Those ideas are giving me me weird thoughts again. Erase. Erase. Erase. Hahaha.

Tried ukay-ukay for the first time today. My brothers love buying from them and I thought I'd try it too. It felt weird and uncomfortable but I found very good stuffs though I didn't get to buy them all. I saved a few hundred bucks. They were better finds than those at the mall where there are lots of skinny jeans, three-fourth shorts, skinny jeans, skirts, and more skinny jeans. You don't really expect me to wear skinny jeans, now do you?

Plans fail. A perfect example was last week's performance and party. I sang Houkiboshi at the University Christmas Party (morning) but, you see, I forgot the lyrics, I can't hear my voice very well, and I wasn't in synch with the music and I slipped as I was going down the stairs. Oh. The. Shame. Later in the evening, we our DMS Christmas party. The party didn't go as planned. Hehehe. I. Am. Sorry. *hik-hik* The food was good [I loved that mushroom quesadilla and mojos] but I had too much vegetable from the party, I got sick. I was already sick that day since morning, my head felt like splitting and having no meat and rice that night, made it worse. I threw up everything when I got home. And there are times that I really crave meat, and cannot eat anything without it. I hope I'm not offending anyone with being a true-blooded carnivore. To all the meats I ate before, I am so sorry that God made you very delicious and I can't live without you. *remembers Romaiya-sempai from Honey and Clover*

Here I go again. It's hopeless but I'm still hoping. [Umaasa kahit na wala nang pag-asa] For what? That I'd see him again. I can't shake him off my head. He has clung into my mind like some gooey, sticky matter.  Uhh, okay, I just miss him. Memories keep him near, and those memories haunt me. Why does seeing him and talking to him again seem too much too ask? I still can't let go of the idea that there must have been really "something" between us that is "naudlot" or just waiting for a chance. Awww... Bakit gano'n?

Okay, it's already New Year, next week. A lot to be expected and looked forward for; Prelim exam for VB, lots of HF work [layouting], start of working on school projects for the Finals, and I have to do something about my Physics class, G-Ken, Exit interview at the Guidance office, CosPlay? Make-up climb, and my most awaited event for 2008-- Induction climb at Mt. Pulag, and lots more other stuffs that has to be done. I don't really have a clear direction right now, as usual, but, uhh, well, bahala na.

Magulo, nagulo, at lalong gumugulo ang buhay ng mga tao. Sana may maitulong ako, sana pwedeng ako ang maging sagot, sana matapos na ang mga kaguluhang ito. Speaking of "matapos", pag ako di pa rin nakatapos ng Summer 08, fotcha! Kung hindi ako magpapakamatay baka makapatay na ako. Bwahaha! World peace. 'LUL!!!

Hindi ako manghihingi ng regalo kasi baka hingian nyo rin ako. Hahaha. Nood tayo Enteng Kabisote? KKB ah!

So, it's Christmas. Now what?

DLSU-DMS Christmas Party

DLSU-DMS Mexican Cocktail Christmas Party
December 21, 2007
@ Cantimbuhan Residence

Photos from Anna's camera

~Went to the University party in the morning to perform for Genshiken. It was kinda disastrous (forgetting the lyrics, and not in synch with the music) and I even slipped as I was going down from the stage. Good thing my friends were there. It wasn't too embarrassing. I almost didn't make it to that party because I was feeling sick. Ate carbonara and chicken at the party. After the party I went to greet the HF people Merry Christmas and then joined the meeting for G-Ken. After the meeting, I went to buy my exchange gift then had it wrapped, ate my very late (about 6 or 7 in the evening) lunch at KFC, went to the venue then we fixed the place, went to Wlatermart to buy some ore stuffs for the party, put decorations while the others were busy in the kitchen. Then the party went on. So, it didn't quite turned out as planned but I believe everybody enjoyed. I was suposed to wear my haciendera costume but I just didn't have time to fix so I went without a costume but I brough a hat, just to say I had something Mexican. It was confirmed to us that were going to Pulag for the Induction climb. Not sure about the makeup climb though. There was supposed to be a short pre-climb meeting last night but everybody's so busy. Anyway... I wanted to stay longer but I wasn't feeling very well since morning. My head felt like it was going to split into halves. Probably because I haven't had a decent sleep yet and I ate lunch late. I threw up when I got home, as if I was really drunk, when actually all I drank was a glass of water for breakfast, a bottle of coke during the univ party, a glass of mountain dew at KFC, and a few glasses of water during the Christmas party, but, oh, I had a sip of Tequila (not sure if that was actually the Tequie). The food was good, everything. I got a towel for exchange gift. I had a lot of fun and I am looking forward to more parties and celebrations with you guys. Merry Christmas, DMS!!!

True Color

Now, this is WEIRD.

Meteor Shower

Tonight at 10pm onwards

Di na daw kelangan ng telescope

Mga 100 per seconds daw ang bagsakan

AYOS!

Downpour

It's hard to just stop when you're spinning around.

I have been trying my best the past few days trying to put back together my cluttered brains. It's all over the place. I've been wanting to put my thoughts together and come up with something to write but to no avail. As much as I wanted to stay in one place, I am kind of stranded in a dimension, surrounded by doors that lead to several different worlds. The feeling's like being suspended in midair. I wanted to land, but my feet just won't reach the ground. Let's see what I can get out of this...

* regress * regress *

A thousand more regrets, unraveling

Today, I felt like I'm heading for a breakdown. I was in my usual state wherein a lot is going on inside my head but today's suffocation is more felt than it has ever been feel-able. I was getting choked by my own hands. Days pass and all the more I realize the truth that I've known for the longest time. 1) The people you expect to, cannot always, will not always, and may not at all do for you what you know you can do for them; it's always man for himself. No matter how much resentment you let yourself feel cannot change anything. You are left with no option but take them down with you. Hehehe. And maybe, I will. I just might. Hahaha. 2) Weaklings are always at the bottom of the foodchain. They cannot survive without having to leech on others. And leeching does not always mean having to suck blood. And it seems to be the only way around. But you can't really expect me to beg for your "mercy", not even if my "life" depended on it. I'd rather stay stuck and do everything all over again, even if it meant having to start from scratch. 3) Some people are just too dumb to realize these things.

The flavor of life: a hint of bitterness

Finally saw him again, but only in my dream. I walk up on a lovely Tuesday from a dream of him. I have no memory of the dream but I know it was a good dream or I wouldn't have woken up with a good mood. I was finally able to reach him if only in my head. I've been thinking of him a lot. It's been a more than a month since I last saw him. I feel hopeless as it seems I woke up late again. It's only now that I started to understand the signs, the gestures, the words, everything. But he's gone and chances are, I may not see him ever again. Actually, I have no idea if it's only me or what I think exists between us is real but I'm so ready to make that big step. To think I've done it all before; I've crossed the bridge for someone who rejected me and used friendship as an excuse, stayed by someone's side who seem to have not even noticed I, once, cared for him (fell for one after the other but never for me), and fallen for several others from different times in my life and... Blah-blah. Nevermind. All I want to say is that I just want him to know that I like him a lot, and I miss him badly. All the moments we lost due to inevitable circumstances, the missed chances, all the must-have-beens and could-have-beens... Makita at makausap ko lang sya ulit, sasabihin ko talaga sa kanya. Huwaaah! Sino ba sa inyo may contact kay... Kawaii-ness ko!!! For a moment, nabuhayan ako ng loob ng makita ko yung isa sa iilang taong closest link ko sa kanya. Pero... Aww...

I know you'll always be with me, in the possibility

Our trash may be somebody else's treasure. Same as what is ordinary to us may be something big and important to other people. My point is...? Kamown, think about it.

You're not hardcore unless you live outdoor

Astig talaga ang Born to be Wild. Hindi lang dahil kay Romi Garduce [All hail, Garduch-sama!!!] kundi dahil naaalala ko ang National Geographic Channel kung saan ko nabuo ang pangarap ko na maging isang wildlife researcher. Para tuloy gusto ko na ring maging diver. Ahuhu! Wala syang kinalaman sa kursong kinuha ko, na sa wakas ay malapit ko na rin atang matapos. Passion lang, pare, passion. Hahaha.

Somehow, trying to catch up on everything especially when everybody else has left me behind

Speaking of passion... Nyahaha! Hehe, wala lang. Masaya. So far, Cristobal's been the best climb I've ever had. May kulang kasi mas maraming "sweet memories" sa Pico de Loro, maliban sa gulungan portions namin dun. Hehehe. Set back: I was not prepared for the temperature. Mga 17 degrees Celsius ata or less. Fotek. I literally had brain freeze. We were having talks/ discussion and I couldn't concentrate. My conscious mind was split into several halves. One was into listening into the discussion, one was trying to fight the cold, one was thinking how comfortable it would have been if I just stayed at home, one has finally learned to appreciate the hot weather in the big city. Hirap ng tropical person. Hehehe. I was thankful that it didn't rain though it was really foggy. I love the high winds at the peak and how we would cheer whenever there would be clearing because it was hazy when we went up the summit to take pictures and you can't see the city below. Check na lang th pictures HERE. Basta, it's been fun and I'm only one step further from Induction. Ahaha. Sugoi.

Memories keep you near, Imagined you'd be here

I've been watch Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity  Edition 2, and kinda hooked. One thing, it's entertaining for some inexplicable reason and another, Baron Geisler. Was never a fan of him, not even, from his teenybopper days. I just find him very cute and he reminds me so much of Kawaii Boy, whom I like a lot and miss so badly. Aww... Wala lang. *Hikbi* Nyaow!

You're the calm when my world is crashing, my, heart, my blood, my passion

I've tried takoyaki for the first time yesterday. Hehehe. Someone's selling them outside school. Not sure if it was a real takoyaki but it tastes really good. Yum. Already seen The Golden Compass, and I believe the book's been given justice. Can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd part, hehehe. I've finished Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows, finally. Hahaha. Still haven't bought that new BSB Album. What happens if you put 3 lovesick people into a conversation with one another? Love Rolls. Hahaha. Saka na and details, hindi ko pa rin maarok eh. Hahaha. The chances of making it into the March 08 is getting slighter by the hour. It isn't really much of a big deal but the people can't seem to wait. They're on the rush, giving me so much pressure. Probably expecting too much but only to be disappointed again. I am trying my best to rise up where I've fallen though it may not seem so to most of you but I am. I may seem to take things lightly but I am, actually, just trying to keep myself from falling apart. Everyday survival is a constant struggle. It may not be big, I, too, am making sacrifices. Christmas is just around the corner, so are Christmas parties which mean having to spend for them and also, projects to be finished. How on earth am I going to save up for Induction, my cosplay and my projects? Huwaaah!? I am planning some change of plans but I still haven't made up my mind. I have other time for that. For now, quizzes and exams muna. May nagsasabi mga nagsasabi nga palang I'm losing weight. Hahaha. Gambare masu!

I can see the edge but I can't take the fall

This is Halloween

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see this, our town of Halloween.

This is Halloween, pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

G: 'Yaan mo sya, mamaya na yan.
L: Picture, di ka naman nakangiti eh.
G: Hay..

Taken last October 29, during HF's Midyear Workshop slash Gawad Abdul slash Halloween Party. Everybody had costumes, so did we. Bwahaha! Just thought this photo's cute, mainly 'cause I'm in it, hehehe, so I posted it. Hehehe

~ AYOS! Ang lamig. You could see the fog roll. The temperature ranged from 17 to 15 degress Celsius. Gripping, biting cold. Sobrang sarap ng tulog ko, nanginginig pa. Hehehe. Maaksyon ang akyatang ito. Mabangin, mabato, madamo. I love the rocky terrain, i love the mossy trees, I love the fog. Hehehe. Wala akong nakitang wildlife maliban sa mga inseckto. Di kami inulan, yeah! Malamig lang talaga. Masakit pa rin ang katawan ko. Walang gumulong though mejo makailang beses din akong nadulas. hehehe. New faces and friends. May mga na-meet kaming ilang mountaineers paakyat at pababa. Salamat sa bonding, salamat sa tumulong na pumasan ng pasanin ko, salamat sa tumulong na magtayo at magligpit ng tent, salamat sa foodtrip, salamat sa laughtrip, salamat sa kwentuhan, salamat sa nagpahiram ng bag, salamat sa nagpahiram ng tent, salamat sa nagbitbit ng tent, salamat sa pangungulit, salamat sa mga bagong idea, salamat sa bagong sigla. Woooh! Special thanks kay Ate at Kuya from Kinabuhayan, Quezon. Kuya, you're so honest, binalik sa akin yung sobra kong naibayad at salamat din sa pagluluto ng soup ko. Maliban sa mga nakakikilabot ng mga hilik ng mga taong tulog, Cristobal is not as spooky as they say. Ayos talaga, napraning ako sa hilik kung kanino man yun. Akala ko may kung anung nilalang sa paligid. Ako pa nmn yung nasa side ng tent na medyo magubat. Hehehe. Weird. Onga pala, yung Mik-mik trips at Jjampong! Hahaha! Mga adik. Sayang naman yung mga hindi sumama. Hahaha. Ang dami nyong na-miss. Di bale, Make-up climb tayo! Tapos... Induction! Goodluck sa ating lahat!

Long Way Down

One wrong move, you fall.

~Taken while clinging to the wall trying to cross from one side to the other at a ridge at Mt. Cristobal last Friday, November 30th. Hehehe, it was very dangerous but I had to risk it so I could take a picture. Don't try that at home because you just can't unless you have a ridge at your house. Hahaha. I'll post the pictures from my phone and those from Issah's camera once she uploads it. Yosh!

Adventure

What it takes to TRULY get to know nature

is

a WILLINGNESS to explore the unknown,

GETTING OUT of your comfort zone,

and going wild, wild,

WILD!

ang paraan para maka-engkwentro ang kalikasan ay ang pagtahak sa daang di pangkaraniwan.

Quoted from: Born to be Wild

Ayos. Umaayos na ata ang panahon. Hehehe. Nagbabantay ako. Sinusundan ang bagyo, tumutingin pa 'ko ng mapa para lang makita kung nasaan na sila. Hahaha. Woooh! Halata bang excited? Wag lang magkakamali ang bagyo... AKYATAN NA!!!

Schließlich :: Finally

... Wag lang magkakamali ang bagyo, tuloy na ang akyatan sa Friday. Nagpapaka-obsessed na 'ko sa pagbabantay ng weather. Kakatapos ko nga lang i-locate si Mina at si Lando. Ayun, nagbasa ng weather forecast, gumamit ng mapa para malaman kung malapit ang Laoag, kung nasaan si Mina, sa Quezon at tinignan ko rin kung gaano kalayo ang Palawan, kung nasaan naman si Lando. t** Weird noh?

... Nakahiram na rin ng Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Salamat, Hao-hao!!! Kung di ako nagkakamali, July ko pa ata hiniram yun pero ngayon lang naibigay sa akin. May nauna kasi, mabagal ata magbasa. Hahaha. Peace.

I knew it

Your past life diagnosis:

---

I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Greece around the year 1600. Your profession was that of a jeweler or watch-maker.

---

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Such people are always involved with all new. You have always loved changes, especially in art, music, cooking.

---

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
The world is full of ill and lonely people. You should help those, who are less fortunate than you are.

---

Do you remember now?

Kaya siguro may penchant ako for Greek Mythology and History. Hahaha. Ayon sa wikipedia.org, ang 1600 ay Mycenaean period, setting ng epic nila Homer at iba pang sikat na Griyegong uhmm.. teka ano bang tawag kila Homer? Writer? Basta yun! Yosh. Nakakatuwa naman kesa dun sa Tickle.com na ang sabi ay hamster daw ako sa aking pastlife. Hahaha. Weird.

Naligo ako sa bad vibes buong araw ngayong araw. Ang sarap mag-mura, and sarap manakit. Kung pwede nga lang, baka pumatay pa. tO___ot nyo talaga!!! Di bale, you'll all die, eventually, and I can wait. Nevermind.

Yay, tuluy na tuloy na!!! Akyatan na. Friday, dumating ka na! Bagyo, bagyo! Wag na mang-abala. Hahaha. One last training bukas, nagsimula na akong mag-pack kagabi tapos Biyernes.. Kamown! Woooh! Sa wakas. Naku po, Fujiwara effect, sayaw ni Mina at Lando. Ang landi! Hahaha. Tama, La Vakla nga ang weather patterns ngayon. Naku, umiwas naman kayo sa aakyatan namin. Yung passion ko for climbing, eh, burning. Baka mabitin naman naman dahil sa bagyo. Uhm.. tama na, OA na pag 2 weeks nang made-delay yan. Kamown! Aw, no Hataw Hanep Hero Con for me. Next time na lang, promise! At saka yung cosplay ko, Lasallian Days na talaga. Buti pala di tuloy ngayong November ang G-Ken. A lot of time to prepare. Weeeh!

The Golden Compass, malapit na! Pasko din... Uyy, regalo ko?!

Wala nang pag-asa at never akong aasa na bumalik pa sa loob ng isang sirkulong matagal ka nang pinagsarhan. Siguro ako lang ang naglayo sa sarili ko pero nung ginawa ko yun, mas nakabuti sakin. Paulit-ulit, nakakasawa. Tingin ko rin dapat nang tapusin ang paggawa ng mga bagay na hindi naman magagawa para sa iyo ng mga taong inaasahan mo. Andun ka pero di ka na makikita. Andun ka pero di ka na kasali. Andun ka. Wala. Andun ka lang.

Naiisip ko na naman ang mga pagkakataong nawala. Tayo na't mag-senti. Wala na sya. Ewan naiisip ko lang, despite the traumatizing events at Pico de Loro, madami ding magagandang nangyari. Mga pangyayaring ngayon pa lang nagsi-sink-in kung kailan wala na sya at wala man lang naiwang bakas. At yung mga moments sana kung natuloy kami sa Batulao. Lovesick na naman. Miss ko na talaga sya. Di ko maalis talaga sa isip ko. Buti na rin yun para kaya ko paring lumipad na gaya ni Peter Pan kasi may natitira pa ring happy thoughts, kulang na lang ay faith, trust at fairy dust. 

Pati layout delayed. Oops, di namin yun kasalanan. Balak kong magsipag the past two weeks para swak pagakyat wala nang iisipin pero wala naman pagsisipagan. Wala pa rin atang ile-layout. Kamown. Pisawt. Pagbalik ko kanina, wala namang software na gagamitin. Binura ata ng mga kinauukulan. Wawaness. Basta sa Akyatan day, galit-galit muna. Hehehe.
Frogs were skinned and chopped alive in today's episode of Kung Ako Ikaw. Ayaw ng mga vegetarian nyan! Hala kayo! Hehehe Wala lang. Weird pero nakatikim na ko ng frog legs. Yun na yung pinaka-exotic na natikman ko. Promise, di na ako uulit. Weeeh! Anyway, excited na ko sa November 28, Born to be Wild. Kaya lang puyatan portion na naman. Ayos! Andun si idol, Romi Garduch. Yosh-ness!!! Levy-chan love Aminals. Heehee.

Ayos. Last Saturday, tamang tambay trips kami. Nag-foodtrip din. Thanks Fiona for that sumptuous soup, Taste of Summer. I get to have seconds, veggie and non-veggie. Dami ding chocolates, haha. Yum. Ayos yung garage sale, pero mas ayos sana kung merong vampire books. Hehehe, ilabas mo na!!! Hehehe. Also watched them transform Abet's beautiful hair into dreadful dreadlocks. Rastamahn! Hehehe. Also discussed some stuffs and plans. Tentative pa pero baka Mt. Pulag ang Induction climb, tapos may balak na sidetrip sa Bakun. Woooh! Sama ako jan! Tapos pinagpaplano na rin kami ng Christmas party o kaya ng theme for Induction. Woooh! Isa na lang. Sinong makakalimot ng gummy candy na lasa at amoy goma. Kamown! Di kinaya ng powers ko yun. Kailangang magtipid-tipid at magipon-ipon. Yeah, kamown!

May bago kaming trip. Magkukulay kami ng blue! Hahaha. Papalitan ko sana yung blond kokaya lang baka may mangyaring di inaasahan kaya sa ibang parte na lang. Hehehe. Para makulay ang buhay, pari buhok makulay. Hahaha.

Aww, gusto kong magsulat at dahil SA'YO at sa INYO naiinspire ako. Isang lovestory tapos isang psycho suspense. Wahaha.

May nakalimutan pa ba ako? Bukas na lang ulit. Hehehe.

Ilang tulog na lang, pasko na naman.

Video: Sir Joribs singing at Science Duets: http://sharkle.com/video/145882/

~Sorry the video was cut. I didn't get to take a picture of the Choral when they sang Salidom-Ay and Anak because I recorded their performance but I'm not sure how to post it here. I enjoyed this night a lot. Felt better after the postponement of our climb. Thanks to Maric and Alain for accompanying me. The moon was beautiful that night too. I love it. Mannequin rocked as usual. Loved Nura vs Velma by TLS. Woooh! And yeah, Sir Ribo sang the night away. He won the duets contest. Check the pictures na lang...

Mina, minna!?

Please, please forgive but I won't be home again.

tambay para di mabulok sa bahay.
tambay para di malumbay.
tambay para may magawa sa buhay.

I've gotten over the dreadful fact that our climb was postponed due to the storm Mina. I got the consolation I would never have had if the climb pushed through. Like, I got to watch the COS General Assembly, I still have more time to save for the climb, and for some sidetrip, if we're having any. Hehehe. Yosh, neh? Also, I'll be hanging out, making tambay tomorrow with friends. Yeah!

Dang, I miss performing. Veiled in Shadows & Ewige Sorge, you will be greatly missed. I hope to make good music with you again, someday. I'm on hiatus but I will be singing on stage again, I promise. If I don't graduate this March, possibilities are high due to some little glitch, I will build a new band. New name too. I already have ideas and plans. Hahaha. Kind of pessimistic but I've submitted to the fact that I really may NOT graduate this March. What do you want me to do? Kill myself by brooding? No way, man. Nothing for me in this batch anyway. Most of my friends are gone, those who are still here aren't the same people I've known from back then. Not worth trying to catch up with. It's better late than never, and no matter how long it takes, we'll end up graduating anyway. All I can do is study well and, well, wait.

Reality bites and what to do best? Bite back. *grrr, sexy tiger growl (as coined by Eugene)*

Everybody's favorite paul-vert, Paul, went on a Subic adventure today to catch his god, Neil Gaiman. I hope everything turns out to be good for him. Hey, don't don't come back without the pictures! Hehehe.

The moon is so pretty tonight even if it's hiding behind the clouds like a shadow od light covered by mist.

Reconnected with some friends today. You see, we all gotta move on. If the others don't like you anymore, stick with those who do. Not my loss anyway, I'll stay with those who won't think twice about taking me in. I believe I came out of my lonely shell today. I was in my loony, lunatic self today. Must be the moon. Hahaha. No more big, red box with handful of bad vibes for me. I've had it, I won't let those bad-vibe-emitting people hurt me with their negative energies again. I'm going my way, away from your way, no way I'll let you in my way. Hey! Hey! Hey! In with the good, out with the bad, beybeh!? Hehehe.

Tambay modes tomorrow. Movie trip. Sound trip. Food trip. Chill, mehn! Hehehe. Bawal ang mga taong agaw-trips. Hahaha. Yeah!

Just finished playing with Kuya Ros [deity ng mga ipis, ask him why hehehe] GunBound after a few years. Aww.. Memories. It's one of the games me and my boys love to play back in the days. Andrew, Amor, Jerome, Patrick, Val, Randy, Rende, Iam. Bigla ko tuloy silang na-miss. Hehehe. One of the boys eh. Labshyu!

Nakaka-inspire ang DLSU-D Chorale. For those who doesn't know, it's my dream to perform with a chorus and an orchestra someday. Bakit nga ba tamad akong magsasali sa ganyan? Hehehe. Nakakatamad kasing mag-praktis. Too late na when I tried to apply for Chorale. Kumbaga sa employment, overaged na 'ko. Ok lang, soloista na lang muna ako o kaya frontwoman ng isang astig at malupit na banda. Yeah! Hahaha.

Sorry, if I was born selfish. I don't care kung may masalanta ang bagyo. Kasalanan naman nating lahat iyon, di ba? Why not suffer the consequences of our actions with open arms? Masisisi nyo ba ako kung isa akong simpleng taong naghahanap ng trip sa buhay? Ginagawa ko kung ano sa tingin kong magpapasaya sa 'kin to the point ng pagiging impulsive at selfish. Wala na kayong magagawa dun. Ang masasabi ko na lang: May climate change kill us all. Let's all drink to extinction! Bwahaha!

I enjoyed hanging out with my Genshi-brethren today. Hahaha. Saya ng G.A! May kakaibang feeling na hindi ko na ipapaliwanag. Halong posi-nega pero masaya pa rin. Hehehe. Antok na ko. May tambay sessions pa ko bukas eh.

I'll post the pictures I took of COS General Assembly tomorrow. Hehehe, sige. Nyt, everyone!

Ay, umaga na pala!

philippine animation festival by ~artauxeo on deviantART

Kasabay ng pag unlad ng pinoy komiks ay ang pag unlad din ng pinoy animation...

"ANIMAHINASYON 2007" Hghlights original Pinoy animation from november 21- 25 ,2007.


The Animation Council of the Philippines Inc. (ACPI) has organized a unique festival that celebrates the creativity and talent of Filipino animators. Animahenasyon 2007, the Pinoy Animation Festival, is slated for November 21 to 25 at Robinsons Galleria's IndieSine, Ortigas Center, Quezon City.

The festival aims to give professional and amateur Filipino animators a venue where they could screen their original works. "I think it is about time to give these animators a chance to show their own works," says Ricky Orellana, festival director of Animahenasyon. "After all, they have been working on other people's materials for the longest time."

He says that viewers might be surprised to discover that Pinoy animators are not just copycats of American or Japanese animation. "We have our own style," Orellana points out.

According to the ACPI, the Filipino animator must be one of the most overlooked artists in the Philippines. As diligent and creative as the Pinoy independent filmmaker but not as recognized, the local animators have, for the longest time, been looking for a chance (and in some cases, a venue) to finally showcase their originality and talent.

Strangely enough, it is the foreign animation companies that have recognized the local animators by giving them steady work for many years now. In fact, it's an open secret that some of the cartoons produced by foreign production houses employ Pinoy animators. No doubt about it, Filipino animators are talented, but the question is: when will they shine under the limelight they so rightfully deserve?

If the entries this year prove anything, it's that Filipino animators are hard to pigeonhole. "Some are in 2-D and 3-D and some used cell animation but what is really surprising is that we received entries from all over the Philippines: from Baguio to Iloilo, from Lapu Lapu to Marinduque," Orellana says.

The topics are no less diverse. Some are interpretations of local folklore and some are original stories by the animators themselves. "Even now, I expect our judges to have a hard time picking which entries to include in the final list because some of the entries are really good," the festival director states proudly.

And since Animahenasyon's goal is to spotlight Pinoy animators, what better way than to have two very successful Filipino animators from PIXAR (Toy Story, Finding Nemo) and Dreamworks (Shrek, Madagascar) to give a talk during the festival.

"Aside from the original Pinoy works, we are also inviting two Pinoy animators who have done significant work in mainstream Hollywood," says Orellana. "Hopefully, the forum will give animators a chance to discuss pertinent issues concerning not only the local industry but the international animation industry as well."

And like any other festival, Animahenasyon 2007 will hand out various awards for deserving entries. Up for grabs are the Grand Prize Award, Award for Best Regional Entry, Jury's Special Award, and Audience's Special Award, among others. But, of course, as the festival organizers never fail to point out, the real prize is that finally Pinoy animators are not just anonymous workers toiling on some cartoon series but artists in the real sense of the word.

Animahenasyon 2007 is spearheaded by the Animation Council of the Philippines Inc. (ACPI), a non-stock and non-profit organization. The members of ACPI specialize mainly in—but are not limited to—2D or 3D animation. The organization, which is recognized and supported by the Philippine government, aims to create an identity for the Philippines to be considered among the preferred countries that service the animation industry. -

Memories Keep You Near

He's gone, not departed but gone away
That must be why I can't feel his presence anywhere anymore
He was brought here only to be taken back away
We've been together for a moment but those moments are gone
Should've held you that last time you were with me
Given more time, I'd tell you they were wrong about you
I guess I won't being seeing your bright eyes and sweet smile for a while
Your soft hands, the way you silently speak with your stare
I never understood what you were trying to say but I'm sure I heard you
Thanks for showing me that gentle side that others have refused to see in you
Memories keep you near
It's all that's left and lingers here
I miss you so much
And I will miss you now more than ever now that you've gone

Hope to see you down the road again, Kawaii Boy

Up The Summit And Back [Mt. Cristobal Edition]

November 21, 2007

A'right! Late post, DC internet kagabi eh. Mabilis lang 'to...

I finished my diagnostic, twenty-five lap run on time. Beat that! Hahaha. They are right when they said, "Bagong achievement". Looking back, I almost died trying to finish last climb's fifteen-lap run in an hour, and I had to do it twice [two consecutive days, seventeen laps the first day because we we're deducted 2 laps because of some mischief the others did, and fifteen the next day. Whoa]. I did the 25 laps in an hour and a half. Actually, may sobra pang ilang minutes. Yeah. This time, I'm more conditioned than my first two qualifying runs. Good things, I've already established my own pacing. Walk-jog-sprint. I'm confident now that I can make it through the Induction Climb Diagnostic Run. Woooh! Mt. Cristobal here I come! Well, the weather's expected to be a bit rainy and I know very well that mountains are more slippery than slippery wet floors, and being steep, the possibilities of falling and rolling is very high. I can never forget how beat up my butt was when I took the role of Rolling Star at Pico de Loro, even had that long scar on the right side of my forehead. Sayang, I should've taken a picture. Tinalo pa no'n ang scar ni Harry Potter. Some asked how I got that wound the morning after, all I could say was, "Inuntog ko sarili ko" and fake a smile. I went for a scrub at DENR the moment we got down because the other day's been a muddy day and slept right away when I got home. I was so exhausted, I slept more than 15 hours. That climb was our worst. I really hope I've seen the last of my rolling days. Happy akyat, yeah!  Aw, kulang pa nga pala budget ko and I have no supplies yet. I have packing problems, 6L beybeh! Hahaha. Wala lang.

I went to Charles' birthday yesterday and it's fun. All the good food, the singing, the international greetings, bonding wiht friends. Hahaha. Nosebleed, may authentic Japanese na guest. Hahaha. Their Japanese family friend was there, and with everything she said, all I understood was Otanjoubi Omedetou. Woooh! That was so cool, mehn! There was a bit of problem before we left because some  tried to avail alcohol and it's not allowed since most us are minors. Yes naman, minor pa ako! Nyanyanya!!

I just have to survive this week and I'll be happy climbing this weekend. Hahaha. Buti na lang 'di pa ako nano-nosebleed at mina-migraine sa Physics 2 at VB 6.0. Yosh! And, I finally got to talk to His Gayness, actually, I was supposed to meet him this morning at 10am but laziness took over. I mean, I had to wake up at 8am so I can leave at 9am and arrive at 10am, and after the meeting I will have to wait for hours for my next class? No way, man. Sleeping is the core of life. Hahaha. Sayang nga lang, I missed a gig. Nyabinghi played at CLA this morning. I wanted to go but precious sleep wouldn't let me go. Next time na lang ulit, promise! Hehehe.

About my last post: I don't really hold grudges but, of course, I AM LYING. Hahaha. The black list is getting longer but worry not, idiots. I won't bite you. I don't like human junk food, they're tasteless and spoiled, just like you. Greetings,  puny earthlings. I come in... Peace? Hahaha

Dolphin shows on November 23 till January 6 at Metrowalk. Libre n'yo naman ako. Hehe. UP Gakuensai this Saturday and H3 this December. Woooh! Di ako makakasama! Hahaha. COS and Genshiken General Assembly this Friday. Hmm.. Ano pa ba? Next post na lang. Maaga pa pasok ko bukas at may quiz din ata kami. Hahaha. Sige, goodnight!

It's packing time!

Killing Without Malice Aforethought

Time to die, poor mates.
You made me what I am.


I'll never fight again.
This is how it ends.


Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

Erinnerungen in einem Blitz ::

First of all, if you don't think my new layout is cute, navigate away from this page now, lock yourself up in your room and go kill yourself. Hahaha.

I was going to write about my newly-found third best speaker, Roy Alvarez, next to Romi Garduce and Lourd De Veyra but I can't get myself to write anything decent or proper. I am usually talkative in writing my blogs both in English of Filipino but today... I can't get myself to think straight again. I'm not dysphoric, distressed or anything. I just can't write anything, but look at that, I have already written something. Hahaha.

So, I attended the LS Launch last week, which was by the way a success, and I didn't really mind having to miss class. It was worth it. Also had our physical training. Ahaha. Unbelievably, Codename: Zaido Gold thinks I've improved. Hahaha. It's about time, isn't it? Also, most people think I've lost weight during semestral break. Hahaha. Hopefully, I get to finish that 20-lap diagnostic run within alotted time. We're climbing Mt. Cristobal, yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm so looking forward to doing that steep trekking, eating lunch on the trail, cooking and eating outdoor gourmet again [We're having crispy kangkong!], seeing the view on top the mountain, highspeed descent, and then sidetripping [he-hey! saan tayo, mga mehn?]. Woooh! I hope nobody rolls this time. Hehehe. Everybody thinks our Pico de Loro climb is the worst climb. I'm having KFC Hotshots for packed lunch. Hahaha. Sugoi! I haven't packed yet, I wish I can pack lightly this time, though quite impossible since I'm bringing six liters of water, plus my other outdoor essentials. Hahaha, goodluck. Cristobal, w8 lng u, der na us. Hahaha.

As of the moment, things are going on fine with my back subjects. I can feel it, I'll pass it this time though I still haven't fixed that little "bug" with a certain stupid, gay-ass teacher. I'll get you, just you wait. Bwahaha!

Yay, I dyed my hair. And it's been three years since I last had my dye. Woooh! I love it. Hahaha. Wala lang.

Open up, Dig way down deep. I think I do that digging deep part very well but been missing out on that opening up part. Sorry, as much as I wanted to try and trust other people with my true feelings, I can't. I was not taught to show my feelings, no matter how sincere they are, or maybe I am, but I never learned. I missed out on a lot of chances because of that. I mean, think of having the person you like/love so much infront of you, assumably vulnerable ready for the taking, needing your gentle touch, wanting your care and attention, all you had to do is move. I just can't. So many opportunities came and went. I still couldn't do it. I can't get my arms to move to give out that big, warm hug, I can get my lips to say those loving words, my minds does all the doing without anything actually happening. Everything happens in my head. I write want I want to do, I write want I want to say without really addressing anything to anyone. I was born and raised that way, and it's something I am so not willing to change and it's better that way 'cause it keeps me safe from rejection, and objection, and scrutiny due to "wrong" behavior and wrong grammar. Weird, neh? Hahaha.

Why do I feel like being caught in the crossfire? There's war between two worlds and here I am standing in a place between those two worlds? Oh, no.. Please don't let them shoot me! Hehehe. Hoy, ayusin niyo mga buhay n'yo! *mutters in robotspeak: escape. must escape. retreeeeaat!* Lolerz. Hahaha.

Bords, I got a lot of activities scheduled for November and December. Hahaha. Ayos. Not sure though if I can attend every, single one of them. Goodluck ulit.

This just in, baka daw sa Mt. Pulag ang Induction Climb. Kamown! I looked up itineraries over the net, and man! Pulag is so expensive to climb. And being up North in the Cordillera Mountain Range, makes it cold, verrry cold. I'm a tropical person and I easily freeze in the cold Christmas breeze, what more up the mountains? I remember how chilled I was back at Manabu and Pico de Loro. It's gripping cold up there, my jaws are shaking, my teeth are gnashing. Paano naman ako no'n? Hahaha. Goodluck ever.

Aww, Batulao! Hehehe, hopefully, we can finally push through with this one. Can't wait to finally scale Mt. Batulao. Sayang lang, if ever, maraming hindi na makakasama. Nakakalungkot. I think it would be more fun if the whole team could go. Miss you, guys! I hope to climb with you again.

I really think I'm forgetting something, just not sure what. If you know, please remind me, people. Hehehe

Oh, there! I'm planning to design a site. Hehehe. Wala lang. Not sur eyet since it's only a plan. I'll try to pencil it in to my busy schedule. I've already looked up simple but stunning web designs and hopefully I can use them as model. And now that we're being taught Flash, I can make it equally stunning as those others that I have seen. Hehehe. Goodluck na naman.

You've had your time, let me have mine. Goodnight, everyone.

November 28, Born to be Wild. GMA's newest show. Finally, a wildlife show. Aww, I won't be missing NGC that badly anymore. Banzai!!!

wag kang bibitiw bigla, magsabi ka muna!

My time to DYE.

Out of last night's randomness, I decided to dye my hair. It was supposed to be white blonde but the hair color wasn't bleached enough, and something was wrong with the mixture so it turned out yellow blonde but I still love it. Of course there was a price to pay... The bleach was too strong that it ruined my favorite blue Colorado Springs t-shirt. It had spots where the color had faded. Darn. Now, I can't wear it when I go climbing. I will miss its comfy, cottony feel. Hehe. I can still wear at home but... Oh, well. My other friends think it I did it because I'm planning to cosplay with the same streak, others think it's cool, some we're teasing me Rogue during the training. Hehehe Wala lang. It's been years since I last dyed my hair. Next up, ear piercing.

SUGOI!!!

By the way, how would you react if I went to school with blonde hair? hehe I'm planning to dye my hair blond, as in my whole head. Hehehe ayos ba?

Sacred Geometry

Nakahanap na ako ng 3rd Best Speaker para sa akin. First si Romi Garduce. Sana makahingi ako ng kopya nung presentation nya nung nag-speaker sya for DMS. Second, Si panginoong Lourd De Veyra para sa Palad. At ngayon, si Roy Alvarez. Siya ay karaniwang mapapanood sa boob tube bilang mamamatay-tao, rapist at kontrabida, pero kung napanood mo siya magsalita, ang cool niya kanina. With feelings, with passion, and with conviction. Yeah! Mas lalo siyang cool, di lang dahil isa siyang environmentalist, kasi he's into the supernatural din. Psychic. Di niyo yun alam noh? Napapanood ko siya, sa mga shows na tumatalakay sa mga bagay na otherworldly. Astig talaga. Anyway,  sobrang ayos ng  event kahit medyo may konting delay dahil sa gulo ng palakad ng mga namamahala sa Tanghalan.  Dahil sa kagustuhan kong matapos ang pakikinig sa napakainteresante at importanteng  pagtalakay ni Sir Roy  tungkol sa unti-unting pagkasira ng mundo at  kung anu  ang pwede nating magawa para mapigilan ito. Umabsent ako. Hehehe. Excused naman ako dun sa isa kong subject pero dun sa isa. Di na lang siguro. Na-miss ko na rin naman yung quiz kaya itodo na. Di ko maiwan. Mga 3:30 na nakapagsimula yung program tapos mga alas kwatro, umiinit pa lang ang usapan. Hindi na kailangang  pag-isipan. Tinapos ko na yung symposium. Yeah! At Di naman ako nagsisisi. Hehehe. Ayos, first time kong nakitang sumayaw si Darwin or siguro dati ko pa sya napapanood pero di ko lang siya nakikilala.  Nakita ko na rin in person si online buddy, Mheo na akala ay pinagbawalan ko siyang  kumuha ng litrato. Hehehe, sorry for the  bad vibes! Ang taray ng accent ni Bella habang nagho-host kanina. Medyo in gloom si Madame Weizel kanina sa kadahilanang di ko alam. Si kuya Ros naman ay medyo napraning  ata  kay Sir Roy dahil sa sinabi nya tungkol sa Sacred Geometry. Hahaha. Sayang pala at di ko nasabihan ang mga  kapatid kong mountaineers tungkol pa  naman sa environment ang topic. Nakakuha ako ng freebies. Hahaha. Tapos nun tumakbo na ako papuntang oval para... Tumakbo pa rin. Hahaha. Yeah.

Ayos. Nag-improve daw ako sabi ni Zaido Gold. Hehehe. Ang bilis nga namin kanina. Ayos. Kakayanin ko na siguro yung 20 laps ng Diagnostic Run. Ahahaha, Cristobal, w8 lng u, der na us. Blah! LOL hahaha. Sana makapag-sidetrip since Quezon naman yun, kahit Lucena siguro. Hahaha. Sa bagay, may ie-explore naman kami sa may bandang Banahaw pagkababa. Coolness!

Breaking the Rules

Oops! Sorry, just couldn't wait. Hehehe! Yosh-ness!
