i hardly write my thoughts anymore partly because i think i haven't had time anymore and partly because i think my grammar is sucking more as time passes by--as i lessen reading classics, that is. my mind isn't what it used to be anymore. it's evident on how i performed last sem: low grades and low grades because i'm not able to memorize stuffs easily as i used to before. now it takes me quite a lot of time before i digest whatever i am studying. or maybe because i'm losing focus meaning i'm more easily distracted than before. i don't know but i'm trying to understand. i've been doing some things for my brain to become as active as before because i need it to function well. im fixing papers for my application in med. God knows how much i want to be admitted in UST cos well, i had my pre-med here and it's kinda hard to be admitted here so it's quite a challenge and i need a Catholic school, else my spiritual life will vanish in an instant again and of course, my boyfriend's here. the last thing i need to worry about is his becoming gay again because it will have a very heavy impact in my emotions. i might not interact with people anymore cos i might conclude that everyone will leave me anyway.
anyway, it's the start of a new sem. my birthday passed by without so much depression. it was there but it wasn't as destructing as before. i had fun actually because i had been with him and he gave me white lisianthus and white star gazers in a vase and i liked it a lot, especially because they're white and the lillies smell heavenly. i also received a virginia woolf hardbound. before that day, he told me that my birthday's gonna be different because from now on, i had him to celebrate it with.
again, it's the start of a new sem. later at 4pm (which is my first class, haha), i'll be seeing my classmates again, not everyone, i think, because a lot failed in Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrate Embryology Lab (phew) or simply Embryo lab. it's a littlle saddening cos failing in another subject last sem, for a few of my classmates, would mean not taking UST med as an option anymore because students with 12+ units of fail will be strictly not admitted.
this sem, my major subject's gonna be Physiology and Ecology. 3 minors, ETAR, PGR and an SCL, whose course description i forgot. there's still glee club, and i think we're going to prepare for Himig Tomasino and my other org, whose gonna sing again for the Paskuhan Mass, yey. which means a lot of practices at night.
later at 12nn, im going to have a meeting with med's sc president because of a collaboration with them for our PreMed Talk and Tour. im way excited to be in med but for now, i need to go to our office and check if the executive vp of my org's foundation has said something about our opening of a blood bank acct here at the univ hospital.

Text message yesterday from some stranger: Eow poh kamuzta na poe u? Kaen nah poe u ng deener ahh. c",)
So I politely asked: Sorry, who's this please?
The reply: Wow galeng poh u mhag izpell ng wordz ahh. Parah poe niu pinapah mookah zakin nah ang julogz coe. Haha!
Annoyed, and somewhat thinking this was someone's idea of a weird joke, I asked: No, really, who's this please?
The reply was: Nasl poe?
I stopped replying. Ano ba yan.
First
thing I thought, what the heck is this person doing? Is this some way
to find a textmate? Ang cheap mo ha. And please, what is it with that
weird text language? I mean, I'd understand if you shorten words so you
can save the space and put everything in one text message. But those
weirdly-spelled words with the unnecessary extra letters? It's as
annoying as those Q's and X's that people use to substitute other
letters that still seem fine on their own.
At aba, before it was
just "ASL." Ngayon "NASL" na? Takot na ba ang mga may gusto ng textmate
sa anonymity? Baka takot sa mga "hologram" (as Tad and Chrome would
call them).
It's so sad how some people's spelling just worsens
with the use of text language. Sure, you can shorten words when you
send text messages, but there are still some people who still use text
language for emails, chat, and other stuff where there really isn't any
valid reason to shorten certain words. People won't take you seriously
if you keep doing that.
Oh well, just my two cents. And if ever
that anonymous texter really was a practical joker sent out just to
annoy me, may araw ka rin.

My last Facebook status had read: "... is amused at the fact that no
matter how long you've known the people you love, you still learn
something new about them. It makes your friendships and relationships
more interesting and exciting day by day."
So
true. Even though you think you know a person inside and out, no matter
how close you already are, you still discover something new about them,
like a new quirk, a new hobby or talent, or just something that they've
been keeping for quite a long time. Or it just tells us that we still
grow and learn something about ourselves and others every day. That's
what also makes me love my friends and loved ones even more.
Randomness.
I inherited a laptop from my brother 3 years ago, then it crashed and
when I was about to have it fixed, we couldn't find the adapter because
my mom had misplaced it along with a whole bunch of wires and cables.
Never got around to buying a new adapter because I had resorted to
using the PC again. Even though every file and raw photo in the laptop
was very precious, I learned how to detach myself and have a clean
slate again. The laptop stayed in my room, untouched, like a huge
paperweight or bookend.
But surprise, while my mom was looking
for a spare antenna this morning for one of our old radios, she finally
found the bag that had the laptop's adapter inside, along with an extra
mouse, a USB cable and two 3 1/2 floppy disks, hahaha. After 3 long
years, my laptop was alive again. Of course, I had to check and
reformat the darn thing and re-install some stuff this entire evening,
but yay, at least I have a working laptop again. And to think that
before I had to look for the adapter 3 years ago, I was about to pay
someone to do all that stuff for me, when I could actually do it myself.

Hello everyone, I've come out from one of my successful hiatus (finally!). I haven't touched this blog for half-a-year. How are things here lately? It looks like everyone is dead... oh my ghulay...
Maintaining a blog is hard nowadays... well, for me of course. There are some people are comfortable doing it. They are gifted ones with the power of words and a bunch of ideas in my mind put together to form a great post, so great that everyone steals them and claims the stolen entries as theirs (okay, that's the sad part) but it doesn't stop most authors to make astounding entries.
With the proliferation of this so-called hype called Facebook, it made matters worse. I got to the point that I never responded to game requests because I'm too busy with my FarmVille, Mafia Wars and Vampire Wars. But after the great flood, thanks to Typhoon Ondoy, I got back to my senses that I should not dependent to those games.
So... what should I post? Posting for a nerdy introduction sounds bland.
Maybe I'll save my words for later, when the inspiration strikes...
Good day.

I caught an episode of My Boys on ETC this afternoon. The subplot was about this "decathlon" of board
games that Brendan, Kenny, Mike and Andy play at Crowley's. They were
playing these classic board games and other crazy games, such as
Sorry!, Candy Land, and I think they were also playing Taboo during one
scene.
The last time I played a board game was about 3-4 years
ago. Someone left a Snakes-and-Ladders game in the office, and we would
play a couple of rounds after lunch. Then there was also that time when
Carms, Jay, Grae and I went crazy over Jenga when we met up once at
Hobbes last month.
I miss board games and those simple game
nights with friends. I want to play Clue, Uno, Monopoly, Taboo, Jenga,
Pictionary and Twister again! To anyone who's stumped about what to
give me for my birthday (not to be joined with Christmas, hahaha!),
those classic (I mean the real thing) games are also on my wish list.
Then let's have a game night!

I had mentioned in my previous post about worlds about how worlds
collide, like when I took Tad to Peaberry Cafe last Sunday to meet
Ronelli.
Ronelli
had been a friend of mine from Trumpets Playshop Alabang's first
musical theater class under Tita Menchu. It was the first
acting/musical theater workshop I had ever taken. I was only
comfortable in class because I had friends there. Other than that, I
was quiet as a mouse. I had too many inhibitions that I was afraid that
I might do all the exercises wrong. Part of the reason was that I knew
all of us weren't in the same "skill level," as some of them had
already done this before, even professionally. I was even careful about
the way I moved and talked. But hey, I did make a lot of friends
through that workshop. Good friends, though not as close, save for a
couple of them. I even put Putting It Together (our showcase) and the class' bond on a high pedestal even after the
few workshops after that. Sure, we bonded, but I felt as if there were
still walls separating some of us because of certain differences. Just
a feeling. It would sometimes seem as if there was something's wrong
with the way that girl stared, or how that guy spoke.
Fast
forward to several years later. I started from scratch and attended a
beginning acting workshop under Tanghalang Pilipino. Again, I was sort
of comfortable at first only because I had a couple of friends enrolled
in the same class. During the first couple of days, I put up a wall
because I was still used to the Playshop environment. But day by day,
the wall came down. I realized that all of us were on the same playing
field, just there want to learn, and just have a go at it. I was no
longer afraid to try anything. My eagerness and enthusiasm removed my
inhibitions. I stopped listening to people's accents because to them, I
was the one with the weird accent (hahaha, Mimay and Nicco can attest
to this, because they did this often). This was a class that had no
pre-judgments over you, or wherever you came from, as long as you knew
how to get along with different people, wear your heart on your sleeve,
and give it all you've got. So we have the passion. We also had that
crazy bond, the type that you can never get sick of each other. Our
crazy glue? The girl with the amazing voice and upbeat personality who
played my alter ego, and the guy with so much passion in his bones and
loves his friends til the end.
Two workshops that were so
different from each other. Both were similar outlets, yet showed
different sides of me. In Playshop, I was one of the quiet, yet
friendly ones. Too intimidated by the ones who have more experience
than I did. In TP, I was more outgoing, yet still grounded. I had
learned to wear my heart on my sleeve and learned the difference
between theater as a passion and as a hobby.
When Ronelli, a
former classmate from Trumpets Playshop, and Tad, my boyfriend from TP,
met at Peaberry last Sunday, I had no idea if they had anything in
common. Ronelli talked the way she always did, straight English with a
slight accent. Tad was merely being himself and compromised, and didn't
mind stumbling over the occasional English words. I was actually amused
at the fact that it was the first time I heard Ronelli say anything in
Filipino. When we started talking about coffee drinking, coffee
routines, and the different kinds of coffee, the "language barrier"
disappeared.
I have yet to invite Ronelli to a TP show. Hopefully when Flores Para Los Muertos does a rerun, I'll invite her to come. She did say that she hasn't seen
a play in ages. And I have to check out Peaberry's acoustic nights.
Maybe I could get Tad to sing during one of those nights, hehehe. And
who knows, maybe Ronelli can overcome her "singing trauma" as well,
even if I have to hold the microphone for her, hahaha.
