and then there was light

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005
Finally, it is over. And the funny thing is, Ive suspected someone who isnt even capable of doing it. And Ive already said sorry to her. That’s the least thing I could do for saying nasty things to her.

********************
So anyway, I was late again for our meeting. It’s very unbecoming of me. When I was in high school, I would always loathe anyone late is our class. That Im used to waiting that being waited at. Now, circumstances have changed and my friends would be mad at me for being the person to be waited at. And Im hating myself right now.

And yeah, it’s all my fault because I havent done anything yesterday. I just watched movies. You know why?

*******************
Last Sunday, my dad went abroad again. And because we had all the time after the plane took off, My Mom, Lester and I went to Baclaran. After going to Church, we strolled upon the dozen tiangges and footwear shops around. And after that, I saw this DVD Heaven Shop but costs too much that the ones in Quiapo. So I just begged my Mom to go to Avenida the following day.

So Monday comes, and there are no classes due to a holiday, we went to some places then after, went straight to Avenida. Ok, piracy movieland is in front of my eyes so I splurged already.

Then I saw this one stall that says:

"DVD 3 for 100"

I went then and there, saw the most priceless movies I havent watched yet.

1. The Phantom of the Opera
2. The Phantom of the Opera 80’s version
3. Gone with the Wind
4. The Sound of Music
5. Legally Blonde
6. Legally Blonde 2
7. Miss Congeniality
8. Miss Congeniality: Armed and fabulous
9. Bridget Jones
10. Bridget Jones Edge of Reason
11. The Forgotten
12. Hotel Rwanda

Ang dami diba? Actually, 3 for 100 na, yung isang DVD would have at least 4 or 6 movies in one copy. Next, I would buy the horror thingie. HAHA! Possible Movie Marathon coming up.
*********************
And I guess it would be an early present for me since my birthday’s coming up in a few days. I’ll be turning 20!

No need to buy me anything fancy, its the thought that counts..nyahaha..Im kidding..=)

And Im counting the days already.. 4 days nalang actually..=)

not over til its over

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

I’m sick and tired of all those threats coming in at Mela and surprise, also to me.

I mean WTF? If you’re not guilty, you’d reply a short note, tell her you didnt do it, say "I’m sorry but my conscience is clear!" and then you would rest because you know you didn’t do it..

But in the accused person’s case, she gave at least a dozen reasons to make us think she really did it.

**************************
I had a great time today, until this happened. But I wont let it get me.

I know we’re better than all of them.

*************************
My dad will go back abroad again. Before my birthday. OMG Im gonna be twenty in a few days. Like I would really look like 20?

harharhar!
************************

gotta go make myself put my head in a bucket full of ice.

bakit ang daming insecure?

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

My good friend Karmela was bombarded with threats and all that with the Ryan Mico guy. I just couldnt understand why the one who really did the plot and all needs to create a thing like that. I mean, are they that insecure to her? napaka-pathetic talaga. Good thing we had it all figured out. Paano, ang tanga tanaga kasi naman. May ka-link na na only guy sa friendster yung kabarkada pa nila! heller!

And she also said that she received 30 missed calls. 30? dude kung ang babaeng dinump nga hindi tatawag ng 30 times sa lalaking gusto niya. Maybe twice but not 30! I cant believe this.

Pero sino nga bang hindi maiinsecure kung dinump sya diba? but Mela is so over the  guy anyway. She has a life now, a good one in fact. Well, enough blabbing. I care for her that’s why i felt the need to defend her.

**********************

have pending works pa but I guess I’d be able to do them all in no time. watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s the other night and the classic was superb. I havent watched any pa kasi. Im hoping to see CAsablanca before I die.. hehe..

well thats all.got to check mails and all that. =)

after prelims and all that jazz..

Friday, August 19th, 2005

Prelims is finally over… is it really?

I mean I havent finished transcribing the interview of Mayor Libunao. and that was supposed to be the Broadjourn prelim.. I still cant encode his quotes because its either too fast or too unclear.. but I’m happy with it..
********************

and tonight, im gonna catch a Gilmore Girls Double episode, a movie marathon of Imelda, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Hitch and other movies if I get bitin.. (as if I’d get bitin!yay!)

Tonight, there’s this Korean Ghost movie pa that stars Kim Ha Nul and the Jedrick Yoon guy in Oh Feel Young.. yay!
********************
Mela, Brent and I realized that ’some’ people can be accomodating if they found out that you have the same alma mater. We went to City Hall yesterday to conduct a brief interview for the Civic Journalism. Some pointed us to different persons and said that we should have a letter pa or something. But when we asked one department and found out she’s from USTE and recognized the lambda thingie, ayun, she lets us snag the interview..

haay, everything for recognition..
************************
wanna shout a happy birthday to my friend Tin.. come back to the Philippines.

and JOPS AND MICHIE, HAppy Birthday for tomorrow. I know I wont be able to blog after this..nyahahaha..

*******************

I shouldve posted pics but sadly, the CD didnt work..

argh! nextime I promise!

sing a song

Monday, August 8th, 2005
i suddenly had an urge to sing..

*********************
As I was transcribing the taped interview that we had about Alex Briones (last year’s photojourn classmate), I admired his passion for taekwondo and made it his life. And he really worked on something he really think he can do best.

Then I wondered, if I had a choice, would i pick Music as my course instead of Journalism?

********************

I always loved music. I loved the idea of performing in concerts.

I discovered my passion for singing way way back. In my 4th grade, I could still remember that I really made sure I joined the Glee Club. As my palms are sweating when I was singing my piece, Tell Me, I’m determined to get in. And I did. It led me to a contest when I was in that grade, sang in different events in school and even won something for the whole class.

Then came high school. When I entered the grounds of ICAM, I joined the Glee Club with Ms. Ortega as our moderator. It was funny because at that time, my voice was so breathy and she didnt know what range would she put me. That’s the story behind the ALTO 2 thing. In second year, more unforgettable experiences happened to me. It was my first time to sing at a choral concert. I felt so good when I saw my family and friends clapping for me when I was on stage. ANd it really is a great feeling. Third year, we joined different competitions and became an active member. Lastly, the fourth year was way better because we I was appointed PRO of the club under Ms. Catama, competed for the Spirits in HArmony contest held at the St. Scholastica School, and another one in NEw Era University and met the man I used to love.( he didnt go there, we just decided to meet there.)

I loved singing. I never thought I wouldnt experience these again.

***************************

On the other hand, if I didnt choose Journalism, I wouldnt be able to meet the greatest friends during in the presence of the old JRN1 and the reshuffled JRN1, go to other plays inside and outside the campus, meet different people, interview popular and not so popular personalities, have sleep-overs, be invited out of town, go bar-hopping with friends, get good and not so good grades,eing handled ny professors I never thought I would meet like Maam Mamawal, Sir Zulueta, Maam Arriola, Sir Cuartero, etc.,join the Journalese, be an intern at Manila Times, be stressed, etcetera, etcetera.

***********************

In conclusion, (If Only line na naman) Music and Journalism are two different matter but I would still choose to be in my position right now. I guess some things should have their respective time. Now Journalism, next fame!

…just kidding, well I could dream too you know?

gotta go check all my other accounts. tata!

diligent kuno!

Friday, August 5th, 2005

Im here at school today though im not supposed to be here.

Diligent kunwari eh noh?

*********************
I finally revised our journalese blogging article. but I’ve noticed that everytime my workload is lessened, new ones would fill it again.

I haven’t had enough sleep last night but i still feel active. now that’s a good thing..

Emmalyn, my high school classmate-slash-ancestor is with me right now. I’ve planned us some R and R before I get crazy with school works again. A movie marathon of Battle Royale parts 1 and 2.. i dunno if you could call that relaxation but if it includes a popcorn and a soft couch, might as well tell it as it is..

*******************
