POSTED AT 07:55 PM i have this 'friend' that i've known for about four years now. when i met her i got the 'oh-my-god-im-sure-we're-gonna-be-friends-forever' feeling that you dont really get with everyone, you know what i mean? we got even closer when we realized we had the same interests, and we would spend hours just talking, and she was just one of those people i felt i could tell things to. fast forward to four years later and i realize that sometimes most times, it pays to be jaded, and cautious, and extra, extra careful about certain things and certain people. because now i understand why others were warning me, and why they all seemed to have a problem with her. stupid me thought that they were all just overreacting and that they were the ones with the problem because as i said, for me she could do no wrong. she was my friend and i was always on her side, no matter what. not anymore though. now i see for her for what she really is. someone who'll use people, who wont care if others get hurt, who'll lie and manipulate, just to get ahead. well she got what she wanted. actually (irritatingly), she got EVERYTHING she wanted. its too bad she has no one to share it with anymore. im definitely done defending her, making excuses for her, and trying to make others see that she isnt as bad as she seems. i guess this is where 'basta ikaw' ends. |

gearing up for the weekend! POSTED AT 08:39 AM my mom and i were indulging in our favoritest hobby (shopping) the other day and walking around the mall, when we bumped into one of her amigas. OH MY GOD I WANTED TO DIE! her friend (who i might add, i think suffers from eye problems) thought i was.. my mom's sister. im not even kidding. it was so hilarious and strange and STUPID, and there was my mom all kilig because she loves getting you-look-so-young compliments from people. i on the other hand was contemplating whether to feel insulted that i apparently look old enough to be my mother's sister, or to just be n.r. about the whole thing. now that i think about it though, it was pretty funny. and it put my mom in such a good mood that our shopping trip went spectacularly, haha. ***** this is how you know youre REALLY getting old and growing up.. one of my friends just got married. okay so it was just a civil wedding and all, but still! we're the same age, and we love talking about our love lives (haha), and we're both still in school, and she goes ahead and surprises me (VIA MULTIPLY, TAKE NOTE) that she's married na pala!! aaaaah!! i cant wait to see her in school so i can interrogate her about all this. tsk tsk. im so huli sa balita huhuhu ***** MACKY ESCALONA ON GAME KA NA BA MADE MY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNINGS GREEEEEEAAAAAAT ***** acollege dwtl 30 starts today. can i just share, its been so long since i've last done this particular job (cholo's days batch three years ago was the last time!!) and its funny coz im sort of nangangapa now haha. all for hash, definitely. and for the core! cant wait to staff, i've missed days weekends too much |

POSTED AT 07:42 PM Nang buhay ko't pagasa'y humihina, sinagip ako ng Kuya at winika.. Shalom. i dont think anything can compare to the chills i get hearing that song on Sunday afternoon, right before one of the most important activities. i dont think anything can compare to the spiritual high i get from staffing, from D time, and from just being at a days weekend. it felt good to come home to ACollege Days, to be with people i've missed (like macon and pinay!), to get close to new staffers, to have all that down time and catch-up kuwento sessions, and to just be at a weekend where everything always feels so safe, and comfortable, and familiar. i didnt realize i missed so many things and people, until i felt the whole staffing-at-acollege feeling come rushing back to me. until i spent time hanging out in the smelly and humid staff lounge downstairs, until i felt the same creepy vibes while walking through the corridors AT NIGHT, until i saw ms carol's legendary cocoon!! daaaaaym. i needed this weekend, if only to remind me of what 'Basta Ikaw Lord' really means to me, and how much i need Him in my life. i needed this too, just because my thesis defense is coming up soon and im super freaking scared! busy week coming up... dundununun. |

tales from the red plaid vault. POSTED AT 09:39 PM right in front of the assumption chapel, there's an assumption seal printed (embedded?) on the floor. as far back as i can remember, i have avoided stepping on that seal. in other words, instead of walking straight ahead like a normal person, i walk around it. and if thats not crazy enough, i know for a fact that im not the only one who does it. everyone who's gone to assumption for grade school has done this, or still continues to do this. the urban legend surrounding this practice is that if you step on it (even accidentally!), mother marie eugenie will show herself. mother marie eugenie, in case you didnt know, is our mother foundress who died like a long time ago. in fact she's already been canonized but the old-school assumptionist in me still calls her mme because thats what i know her as. anyway, the other urban legend is that if you step on it, you will fall into her grave which apaprently is located right under the seal. as kids, my friends and i used to dare each other to step on it, just to see what would happen. we'd push each other and then scream in total terror if even just a tiny part of our foot managed to step on the outline of the seal, or the side of it. its funny when you think about it, coz its right infront of the chapel so making noise was abit rude, and why on earth would mother marie eugenie be buried in san lorenzo, makati?? now that im older and wiser though, i know that the legends arent true and that its perfectly okay to step on it considering ITS ON THE FLOOR. hello. a while ago, cholo and i were at ac for the days weekend and he was laughing at me coz apparently i subconciously really walk around the seal instead of walking across the foyer like a normal person. pffft of course he doesnt get it, he's not from assumption haha. |

all i need to turn a crappy day into a really good one :) POSTED AT 08:53 AM about a year ago, my old email address went crazy and started blocking me. the password kept changing, and i had to keep retrieving it, and i had a sneaking suspicion i was a victim of those mass hacking thingies that people always complain about. anyway the other day i had to check it for an email address of an old classmate, when i saw this --> Sunday, 15 June, 2008 22:23 hi babe! how are you? i just want to remind you that i love you so much!Ü suhhhhweeeeet |

because i need all the amusement i can get. POSTED AT 10:43 AM quotable quotes
from my friend, while we were gossiping about this old classmate that we used to have: "Grabe, she was sobrang imbento. and i was so gullible! Imagine she told me na close friend daw niya si Paris Hilton and that papadalan daw siya ng ipod from the States ni Paris.. and i believed her!" !!!!! why naman Paris Hilton, and why naman ipod of all things, hahaha ano baaaaaa...
friend who found out that her ex already hooked up with someone else. YUN LANG :D
and of course, my favorite. christine and bianca talking about christine's gossip girl experience (she saw dan and nate!!) in new york: christine: grabeeeee ang gwapo ng mga guys sa gossip girl grabbb ang linis ng mukha nila hahahha i dont know if i was tawang-tawa more at the fact that they were both conversing in really bakya tagalog, or because the line of conversation was just too hilarious. damn, i miss my barkada. |

happy birthday daddy! POSTED AT 12:36 PM i have a new pet peeve. girls who go to assumption for college and oh wow, they just HAPPEN to have assumption writing after 3 or 4 years! ugh. its pathetic, this one girl i know (eww no, shes not my friend!) even bought the grade school penmanship notebook, just to learn how exactly to copy the way we write.. CAN YOU SAY POSER??? this may seem mababaw and all, but trust me. when you spend 3-4 years of your grade school life devoting around 5 hours a week just to perfect the assumption way of writing, you'd be pissed that these ac college girls are just copying and passing it off as their own. pwedeng wag feeling? and dont bother using red plaid merchandise when you never even wore the skirt. its so sad. just stop pretending to be someone youre not. ***** the other day, camille made me log on to her facebook account so she could show my mom and me these doggy party pictures of one of her friends. ohmygod can i just share how i got super bobo and ABSOLUTELY DID NOT know how to navigate (navigate! wahaha) the site! my barkada still continues to pester me to start an account and though their lets-talk-about-updates-so-tums-doesnt-know-what-we're-talking-about tactics are somewhat convincing, i still will not conform!! even if christine and bianx insist that they only post pictures there so their foreign friends can see it. eh di post it din on your multiply sites! ***** i realized that one of the hardest things to do is give advice to someone who refuses to listen to you, no matter how convincing you sound and no matter how much she needs to follow your advice. mahirap na makipagusap sa matigas ang ulo. tsk tsk. you know who you are. i love you and i know i told you i'd support you no matter what, but you have got to start making wiser decisions okay??? we wont always be around to knock some sense into you. ***** is anyone as entertained as i am by all the ateneo/lasalle fighting going on in multiply over the bonfire incident?? i mean, its not even that theyre fighting about who won in the finals, and whether the game was fair or whatever. now theyre fighting over this patawa fake rico maierhofer blog entry. i get the whole concept of school pride, and sticking up for your school, and not letting anyone put it down or whatever. its just funny to me because the ones getting offended and going postal over these things arent even the players, or their families, or their close friends. RELAX LANG, FRIENDS. may buhay pa after the uaap finals. plus, wag masyadong affected, that over 5 journal entries are devoted entirely to bashing ateneo and posting 'proof' of foul play or unsportsmanlike (??) behavior. complete pa yan with pictures ha! hahahaha. so sad. the season is over, let it go! ***** didnt have to go to school today (because its a thursday and i dont have class on thursdays) coz hash and i decided to take a break from thesis work. and so i got stuck with bringing fudge to the vet in rockwell for his weekly bath. can i just say, waking up early FOR A DOG isnt exactly my idea of a good start to a day. plus, when i got there, i saw this group of ac high school girls (including tammie and kamille) who were there for KKK! ohmygod and i was in total pangbahay (okay, no naman) just coz i thought that who would be there naman at the vet on a thursday morning right? haha and then when youre all nakaporma, with your hair all fixed, and your outfit carefully chosen.. you dont naman bump into anyone. anobaaaaaaaaa ***** yesterday was my LAST OFFICIAL day of compensation and benefits. *bow* mr magcase, im so thrilled to be done with your excruciatingly difficult quizzes, unit tests and lectures!!! im so happy i want to die. oh wait, lets postpone that to post-thesis defense. waaaaaaaaah. |

***** ***** there's nothing more unattractive than a desperate ex. am i right? |

POSTED AT 09:36 PM i just realized that people might interpret my 'desperate ex' comment (on my last entry) as something that's happening to me. not at alllllll friends, considering pocholo and i are each other's firsts (and lasts hahaha eew mushy). lets just say im surrounded by friends who are either being hounded by exes, or are hounding their exes. go figure. THESISISFREAKINGKILLINGME. there's nothing worse than waking up with stress butterflies in my tummy, and going to sleep with them having turned into.. bigger butterflies?? ugggggh. |

POSTED AT 04:44 PM LIPGLOSS IN 38 MINUTES. iwannadie,imissedmylindenhighfriends! ***** quotable quotes olivia: manang, ano yan? brownie ba yan? voice-over on some entertainment talk show- "KC and Richard will be promoting their movie in Europe as well. one stop on their tour is Venice, Austria." Venice DOES sound like Vienna, so maybe the writer just got confused? haha. or not. pwede magresearch more before showing these stories on tv? ***** a true light weekend is coming up!! who's so excited??? i miss my babies, and staffing at my home communities, and just basically being at a days weekend. anniv mass is before truelight 9, that im excited for too! acollege (and hyssop) are hosting this year's mass so hello to me in a red shirt ***** i feel so bad that im missing tessa's party tonight how many more times do i have to say that i miss my girlies? especially bianx, since the last time i saw her was june.. thank god december's coming pretty soon. and yes, i will be chicken pox-free this christmas break!! hahaha. last year's holidays were so sad that honestly, looking back and remembering everything is just so hilarious. |

8 days till judgment day. POSTED AT 09:51 PM today was too emotional, that i cant help but laugh about it now. i think i just snapped from all the thesis respondent-related frustration, from all the uncooperative vibes i was getting, and maybe the time of the month for all this to happen was bad timing too (if you know what i mean), which made it perfectly easy for me to bawl to cholo over the phone about how i was just so, so, so STRESSED. |

October 15th, 2008
POSTED AT 04:59 PM yesterday's word for the day: ENAMORED. today's word for the day: CUT-OFF. both in reference to the ex we spend so much time talking about, even when we should really be focusing on something more important. oh, what love does. a woman in love doesnt only burn the souffle (audrey hepburn in 'sabrina'), it also causes her to lose focus. ***** comp and ben is officially OVER. yeah yeah, the final paper is still pending but still. that's pretty much gonna take up only 30 minutes of my time, and effort, and brain power, so i dont really count it as something MAJOR. thesis is really all thats left to finish, and THAT i cant wait to get over with!!! one thing i've realized over these last few months of thesis writing, is that i am extremely impatient with slow people. with anything slow actually. to the point that i'd rather just do it myself even if it means taking on more work than necessary. even if it means just shutting up about it, anything to get it all done. thank god for wei who rescued me today and tutored me in SPSS. how i passed applied stat, expe psych, and all other spss-related subjects, is beyond me. the whole concept of working with numbers, graphs, and making it all mean something like being significantly related, honestly has me stumped. that, and my temper.

POSTED AT 11:08 AM today marks the last day of THESIS HELL. last day to revise, last day to add more information, last day to cry from the sheer stress of it all. ONE MORE FREAKING DAY. AND THEN i can relax.. and just worry about defense. i'd rather defend my thesis ten times over, than have to deal with revisions, related lit, and spss outputs. ugh. the nervous breakdown i was praying wouldnt happen, came yesterday. hellloooooooo to crying all the way home hahahaha |

October 18th, 2008
POSTED AT 02:21 PM my thesis (the one thing i can honestly say I put my blood, guts, sweat, tears, SOUL into) is now in the hands of my panelists and adviser. you cant even imagine how relieved i am that IM ALMOST DONE WITH EVERYTHING. i just have to get through defense, and then i'll be 100% okay. here's to surviving sleepless nights, unimaginable and indescribable stress and frustration, gut-wrenching mental blocks, and nervous breakdowns. i was this close to snapping this morning, thankfully i was able to control myself and just let it slide. waaaaah im so thankful this is over!!! ***** the highlight of my day yesterday was catching britney's best vma moments on mtv. the best britney vma moment for me would be her 'im a slave 4 u' performance with the snake. that was like the height of her sexpot days. and i think that her 'im a slave 4 u' music video is her best ever. best dancing, best choreography, best outfit (or lack of it), definitely the hottest i've seen brit (sorry, close kami!). i cannot say it enough: im so glad she's back. and if she does have a concert in manila, i dont care how much i pay just to get the chance to watch her up close!! whoo hoo. fan girl moment. ***** quotable quotes while walking in powerplant.. salesman: Ma'm, cream puff kayo ma'm! uhh no he wasnt calling ME a cream puff. he was trying to sell me a cream puff. still, it was funny. |

defense in TWO DAYS!! POSTED AT 06:07 PM i rewarded myself today by relaxing and watching episode 6 of GG. now i understand what timmy was saying about the catfight. and about how blair really kissed her interviewer, like how she does in the book. ugh i hate nate, he's so madrama! dan too. relax, boys. youre too serious! which is why chuck is the best GG boy, just because he's so walang paki and self-absorbed (in a hot way). Lipgloss yesterday! whoohoo. my favoritest show to enjoy AND laugh at. last week, mikko watched around 1 minute of it and then said 'how can you watch this???' with matching disgusted facial expression. yesterday, camille watched with me practically 3/4 of the episode. and she had me explain who the people were (which i did in reference to her their GG counterpart is. meg is serena, abby is blair, maui is chuck, etc.), commenting on how 'are there really people in the philippines named kyle??'. hahaha. oo nga naman. my favorite Lipgloss character is Julivee. i swear, she's so benta. she's like a blonde, i wonder if she's really that clueless in real life. my favorite hirit of hers is the 'ang type ko yung anak ng driver namin noh' line. its sad that she doesnt say her 'my father's name is, my mother's name is, put it together you get Julivee! that's me' line anymore. tims and i loved that line. DEFENSE IN TWO DAYS!! lets get it on, baby. |

POSTED AT 02:31 PM i have succumbed to the ultimate evil that is Facebook. yes yes, i am a hypocrite. in my defense though, i only did it to keep in touch with everyone who's abroad!! im serious!! im still so bobo at it, bianx had to help me post pictures (and she's all the way in australia haha) and mikko explained what the applications are for, and how to get and use them (uhhh which by the way, i still dont understand!). |

TUMS CAN NOW RELAAAAAAAX POSTED AT 08:42 PM I. AM. DONE. yeeeeeeeeeeeeees. minor revisions, baaaaaaby! oh my god. im so happy, i want to die. THANK YOU, JESS. defense wasnt as bad and as scary as i thought it would be. we i was able to answer the panelists' questions, our presentation was unrehearsed and somewhat sabaw but still passable, and surprisingly the panelists were in very, very good moods. my spss outputs, graphs, and tables werent questioned AT ALL which was such a relief, just because i was so scared i did something wrong, or missed a step, or just totally bungled it up and made imbento. WAAAAAAH I HATE SPSS, THANK GOD IM DONE WITH THAT!!!!! it really pays to be prepared. i hate that i was overconfident with my talking (and making bola) skills, and didnt even think of rehearsing my introduction. my 'cue cards' that contained absolutely nothing served no purpose other than making me look dumb, considering i was going around in circles and just saying whatever came to mind. thankfully, i had the presence of mind to make a separate 'just-in-case-the-panelists-ask' powerpoint that contained slides i considered unimportant, but were important pala. we have 2 weeks to revise the little things, and then we can already have our thesis hardbound-ed (??). OHMYGOD I CANT BELIEVE I CAN NOW RELAX AND JUST ENJOY!!!!!! no more early meetings, no more anxiety induced migraines and stomach aches, no more errands, no more useless expenses, AND NO MORE THESIS WRITING!!!!!!! waaaaah im so happy. ***** quotable quotes mom: hi bantot, i bought na your bag. what was the other bag you wanted me to buy for you? hahaha asking how my siblings were, just came as an afterthought. oh mother. and, of course, the most panalo moments of defense - panelist: in your summary of findings, its not enough that you just state that their results were all low. it just says, low, low, low, low. parang yung song. hahahaha. uyy, natawa sa sarili! in fairness, her joke was funny naman. hash and i were just too nervous to laugh along with her.
panelist: the format you used for the tables is wrong. where should the heading be? on top or at the bottom? (hash and i look at each other, start rifling through the pages of our thesis, and try to look busy. uhh we didn't know the answer..) panelist: (thinking we didnt understand or hear her question) oh, where is it supposed to be? (silence) panelist: (teasing) di niyo alam noh?? i cant believe how lucky we were that our panelists were in a good mood!!!!!
***** this is such a loser thing to say, but i love facebook hahahaha. im not addicted to applications though, like everyone else is. mainly coz (like timmy!) i dont really understand how to use it. which is funny coz i consider myself computer literate. anyway, im sort of 'addicted' just because its fun adding people! and finding old classmates/friends! and seeing long lost relatives! and you know what, it makes you realize that the world is so small pala. everyone's really connected to everyone! like today, i found out that my cousin on my mom's side was in kundirana with my older brother! and this was like a gazillion years (okay, maybe around 20 years lang) ago! waaaah galing!!! okay, im gonna stop gushing now. im sorry if the rock i live under was inhabited by people (uhh me lang pala) who thought multiply was the coolest thing in the world. hahaha. |

POSTED AT 09:57 AM GG episode 7 -- CHUCK AND BLAIR OH MY GOD I WANT TO DIE PLEASE GET TOGETHER NA KASIIIIII i didnt like the fact that vanessa was a major character (albeit a pawn in the chuck-blair bet), just because i think she's such an epal and the show can totally go on without her. BUT THE CHUCK AND BLAIR STORYLINE OH MY GOOOOOOD. i love how chuck said the '3 words, 8 letters' line back to her!! blair why couldnt you say it baaaack???!!! i would've, ANO BA. its so weird how the characters never seem to do much studying in any episode. lipgloss is like that too! haha ***** i cant believe my 2 nephews, who i still remember as chubby little boys who would run around during family reunions, are now college boys!! (yes yes, i found them on facebook) oh my god theyre all grown up and mama looking! and we have mutual friends, and they go to parties na and all. waaaaaah this is scary! also, its so weird how facebook has alerts that tell you whether so-and-so 'have ended their relationship' (complete with broken heart icon), or whether someone 'is now in a relationship' (the icon's just the normal heart). i swear, im so addicted to looking at my friends' pages and stalking them (with no fear of getting caught, not like multiply haha). ***** its day 3 of the abello-parentless-lifestyle and its just so relaxing not to have someone to report to and ask permission from, etc. i love my mom but sometimes its just nice to be free, you know? ***** i promised not to shop until october, and i kept my promise. uhh i think i more than made up for my september-no-shopping-diet.. which means, november na ulit! haha christmas is less than 100 days away and im stumped on what to give people.. help? |

POSTED AT 11:43 AM aside from facebook, my latest addiction is fashion blogs. number one would be rosanna's blog, which i find really galing just coz she manages to pull off great looks with ukay-ukay finds! i've never been ukay shopping before, and the idea of wearing someone else's clothes is a bit scary.. but i guess if you wash, steam, boil, disinfect and clean it enough, then the clothes will be good as new right? i also like whowhatwear and chictopia. its fun seeing how other people mix and match, and how to steal looks. hooray for stalking people online! ***** i've spent the past 2 days just bumming, relaxing, and basically living the life of a pig (in other words, buhay baboy!) and its been greeeeaaaat. its like the 1+ month of thesis stress is slowly getting out of my system, and i feel so carefree again! its sucky though that i havent been spending lots of time out of the house, just because my boyfriend is not only busy with work, but is also studying for the nursing boards |

October 24th, 2008
POSTED AT 10:44 AM i was reading a dazer's blog on multiply, and for some reason i was transported back to senior year of high school. yes i do remember the stress brought about by the english research paper. i remember every recess and lunch time not spent eating or with friends, just because we were all lined up outside the coords room having our topics/key questions/thesis statements approved. the crazy part was, as soon as the bell would ring we would all be running, literally running as fast as we could, to the coords room. the nerve wracking part was when we'd have to revise, and then come back again the next free period/the next day. if i remember correctly, that even brought about a lot of stress-induced ulcer attacks. i also found it galing how the english tagteam had this sixth sense about students who plagiarized, or who didnt cite sources, or who copied verbatim or whatever (oh yes, plagiarism is a big thing in assumption). i honestly think senior year wouldve been a breeze if not for that research paper. ac high school's strength is probably in how they train their students to be the best. i cant even recall how many times we were told by the professors that 'we're just training you for college'. the funny thing is, english classes in college are SOFREAKINGEASY. no-brainers talaga, in fact theyre not even one-fourth as difficult as high school english. but if there's something im really grateful for, its that the 4th year research paper, the researching in different libraries, and that tedious practice of making notecards, REALLY REALLY prepared me for my college thesis. though our panelists dont really double-check as much as the english tagteam used to do, theyre twice as hard to please and their demands are sometimes more unreasonable. plus, thesis is just this never-ending financial black hole. not to mention how emotional/fatigued you get throughout the thesis-writing process. this is turning out to be another thesis-related journal entry. i hate how my life has revolved around this 102-page paper. ugh. |

POSTED AT 07:24 PM i love how today i was whisked away, even just for a while, and wooed and won over (yet again!) by this really cute guy in an AC Milan soccer jersey.. i love you pocholo, even if we dont get to go out that much anymore coz youre so busy and/or tired all the time. i love you even if youre masungit and i have to make you lambing 24/7 just to put you in a good mood. and i love you because you spoil me even if im brat attacking like crazy. what'd i do to get so lucky? youre my happy pill babe, thanks for today! |

POSTED AT 11:45 PM i attended a baptism today, and it wasnt just any baptism, it was kim's baby boy's baptism! and the whole time i was thinking 'damn we really are getting older', just because there i was in full godmother-ly (??) capacity, watching my friend present her beautiful baby boy to be baptized. i love how being in the presence of a baby makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. rafael is the cutest thing, super chubby and already showing hottie potential, even if he is only 3 months old. i cant wait till he grows up and we can take him places, play soccer with him, and i can tease him about his girls. i feel like this little cutie is definitely gonna be hounded by girls. its crazy how time flies. its even crazier to think that debut season has now been replaced by wedding and baptism season! it was such a good day, filled with loooooove. thank You, Jess. |

POSTED AT 10:00 AM i've been in such a good mood lately, and you know what has put me in an even better mood? indulging in my inner (or maybe not really inner..) pinoy-romantic-movie-fangirl-mode. a few months ago, my very supportive boyfriend and very all-for-one-one-for-all friends refused to watch 'a very special love' and 'for the first time' with me, forcing me to wait until it came out on the internet and i got the chance to download it. FINALLY the awaited day came and i finally, finally, FINALLY got to watch it!!!! ohmygod, cheesefest galore. 'a very special love' was... very much mush-induced, what with the whole i'm sorry scene complete with that gigantic truck that had the banner, and john lloyd singing to sarah geronimo in the middle of the street. still, for me, john lloyd can do no wrong 'for the first time' was a lot better than i expected. the main reason i didnt give in to watching it alone, was because people were telling me it wasnt worth it, etc. tessa, our resident kapamilya, even told me that 'a very special love' was much better than 'for the first time.. so when i was watching it, i already had this bias that it wasnt gonna be good, that it was anti-climactic, and that kc concepcion was gonna have a million close-ups just because they didnt want to show how big she really is (i seriously heard that from someone!). aside from kc's close-ups (and how she's not exactly skinny), i disagree with everything everyone's been saying about the movie. i loved it!! i've been wanting to see greece since i saw it on the first 'sisterhood' movie, now i want to see it even more! the yaya character was funny, i was literally laughing out loud while watching. and the storyline was so believable, like i can imagine it happening to one of my friends or something. the mushyness wasnt too extreme, i mean i dont really like richard guttierez just coz i think he's too pretty for a boy, but their chemistry was so natural and their kilig scenes werent so out of the blue like pinoy movies usually engineer them to be. it was such an awwwww movie, i feel so bad i didnt watch it when it first came out! i guess it just goes to show that if you have a feeling about a movie, no matter how baduy the movie is, go and watch it even if no one wants to watch with you!! |

POSTED AT 04:39 PM today was distribution of classcards at school and just to show you how confident i was that i aced all my subjects, i didnt even go to get it. i made people text me my grades haha IM SO THANKFUL THAT SEMESTER'S OVER. AND IM PASSING MY FINAL THESIS ON TUESDAY!!! damn i wanna die. ***** currently downloading GG episode 8, i cant wait to watch it!!! oh my god, lately my life has been reduced to watching and re-watching movies. aside from 'a very special love' and 'for the first time', here are the other movies i've seen in the past week: 1. She's All That Notice how i kept a balance between chick-flicks-that-require-no-brain-function-whatsoever (She's All That, A Cinderella Story), cry-cry-stories-that-are-not-so-realistic (Autumn in New York, Breakfast at Tiffany's), Disney-movies-that-had-me-singing-along (Sleeping Beauty, Mulan), and heavy-migraine-inducing-movies (A Beautiful Mind.. oh movie lang pala, i dont really enjoy deep movies hahaha). ano ba, this is so sad. i wanna go ouuuuuuuuuuut. and friends please, no more movies. ***** you know what sucks? the fact that i continuously give this certain person a chance, no matter how messed up i know she is. time and time again, i've been considerate and have chosen to overlook whatever shit she's pulled, maybe because at the back of my mind i always think of all that we've been through and how we were once really close friends. there's no excuse for rudeness though. i dont care that your personal life is screwed up, because frankly im tired of all the convenient excuses you always seem to have. i guess its true what they say, that you cant buy breeding. if i were as rude as you are, i probably would have picked a fight last night. thank god i still have something you'll never have, and thats called 'manners'. get a life, stinky. |

POSTED AT 12:28 PM mikko has just left for the airport, fedora in tow. why he'll need it in the beach is beyond me. and beach-ing on christmas break is not even a possibility, considering camille's wedding is in jan and i am staying out of the sun until then. can you imagine having a really gross sunburn and being all red in the wedding pictures? uhhh no thank you. so i guess my next beach trip will be... post-wedding? feb? march? april? waaaaaah. take me away, please! |

POSTED AT 12:35 PM in typical mikko abello fashion, he comes back after 10 minutes all harassed because he left his plane ticket at home. hahahaha
