Just Dropping By.

I missed blogspot bigtime! I'm here just to take a peek if my account is still working and to read the blogs of  people I'm following. After reading their posts, I was again inspired by the way they write and how their life have been since I last opened here.. My life? Well, school has always been very tough. Patayan na! Actually, what I'm doing right now is already what they call, 'buwis-buhay' since I still have hundred of pages yet to memorize. I really hate it how my minor subjects eat most of my time. Yung sobrang gusto ko ng mag-aral ng accounting tapos eeksena yun. Damn. Speaking of accounting, I really, really hope and pray that I would be able to pass this semester. I even told my parents the situation and what would be the consequences if I didn't make it. They gave me words of encouragement which I truly need right now. Those words coming from them are enough for me to get going and fight for my future. I know what I want. I just need to FOCUS.

Love month...valentine's day... Oh, nevermind. HAHA. I was so busy during those times with school stuff that I forgot to invite someone, or to go out with someone. As far as I can remember, I dated my thesis groupmates. Yes, we worked on our 'thesis-thesisan' because it wasn't really a thesis for me, I think it's just a mere requirement that we need to pass so that 'she' could have something to record on 'her' grading sheets. (Sana sapian si ma'am ng Holy Spirit while checking it.')

mmm..What else happened to me? Oh, yes. My friends and I grew closer. One thing I learned this past few weeks is that you can't live alone. No man is an island. You need to have a support group or networks of friends to guide you. Thanks to twitter, fb, and to the entire social media, mas madaling makipagcommunicate.

Need to get my eyebrows burnt again. Til next time.

Saw Einstein. How about you?

Just saw this at Mr. James Domingo's Profile. Yeah, bitch please... I'm still in love with Accounting, though. I just hope Accounting would love me, too.

Please Define Weirdo

Weirdo

1. A person who is considered strange to other people. This person may do strange things, so this person can be considered a "weirdo". 

2. A non-comformist who does not follow trends or a subculture. A true 'weirdo' will juat do what they feel, and can get along with most people. This person does not actually conform to a stereotype and shouldn't be labled.

Am I that weird that my peers always tell me that I'm such kind of person? They've been saying that sometimes my thoughts are kind of out of this world, my actions are quite strange, my tastes are... oh, I don't know. Honestly, I do not know which part of me is weird. And I haven't asked them why on earth are they calling me a weirdo. Actually, I've tried to ask someone in our barkada before, but that person didn't give me an answer at all (maybe, she was just too shy to slap reality onto my face. lol) I know nothing's wrong with me. I look like any ordinary student who is deprived of sleep. I'm a bookish person but I know how to interact with people well(even to strangers). I cram like almost everyday. I'm hating someone in class, and I'm starting to fall for someone in class, also. See, I'm just normal like you. 

I'm not offended. I'm just irritated. nakakaurat kaya yung sabihan ka everyday na 'weird,' 'weirdo.' But, at least, mga barkada/friends ko lang ang nagsasabi sa akin nun. They know me. Sila lagi kong kasama. They are the ones who have seen most of my epic failures kaya hndi na nga ako papalag, eh. haha...

But still, I'm curious why they find me weird? compliment ba yun or insult? Damn.

Friday the 13th

Got this from Yahoo!.

Here are some very interesting facts about the "somewhat celebrated" day:  

• * The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia. Those with this phobia often avoid their usual routines and fear anything to do with traveling on this day; some even skip getting out of bed on this day.
• * The exact origins of the phobia are unknown, but some credit Norse mythology for the fear. According to the legend, 12 gods were at a banquet when an uninvited demi god of mischief appeared, bringing the total number of gods to 13. His arrival brought about chaos which led to the death of another god, and the rest of the gods went into mourning.
• * Ancient Egypt considered Friday the 13th lucky, while Greece and Spanish-speaking countries consider Tuesday the 13th as unlucky. Thus, when the horror film “Friday the 13th” was released in these countries, it was renamed “Martes 13” (Tuesday the 13th). Many buildings arou
• * The Bible makes reference to the number 12, such as the 12 Apostles of Jesus and the 12 tribes of Israel. From this reference, many Christians believe that the number 13 represents incompleteness.
• * And the world do not have a 13th floor (alternately given the 14th floor tag) because of the fear of the number 13. Some hospitals, hotel rooms, apartments and condominiums do not have a room number 13 and some airports do not have a Gate 13.
• * The singer Taylor Swift has repeatedly said in interviews that her lucky number is 13. She was born December 13, 1989 (which incidentally did not fall on a Friday but on a Wednesday).
• * 2012 has three Friday the 13ths which fall on January, April and July. on January, April and July.

Just got home from Church. I wanna greet everyone a happy, happy new year! Let's welcome 2012 with smiles in our hearts and just pure good vibes. Cheers, mates!

Googled fashion trend for men this 2012.. pwede, pwede na.

I've been to Divisoria, Recto, Quiapo, walang nangyari sakin. Inabot na ako ng 12 midnight sa Sta. Mesa and nothing happened to me. Bakit sa sarili ko pang lugar?! Kung mangyayari talaga, mangyayari. Nholdap kasi ako last night. I don't know what to do. I was helpless and don't know how to handle the situation. I was actually with my mate, Rodney when it happened, but he was in front of me (mga 6 feet layo nya sakin) because the way we're passing through was too narrow, hindi kami kasya, and I was already sleepy and tired because we went to Mega that night. Then suddenly I bumped into two teenagers. Yung isa, agad pumunta sa likod ko. Yung isa nasa harap, may hawak na itak/jungle bolo! Rodney didn't notice immediately the commotion happening at his back because he's already far from me. Nung nakita nya na, he don't know what to do also and froze to where he was standing. Sabe pa nung may hawak ng jungle bolo sa kanya, "Pag lumapit ka, todas to.!" Imba. Sukol na ako. I was already panicking, shaking, and starting to get dizzy. I gave them my wallet and my phone.

We asked for help after what happened but those useless traffic enforcers didn't mind us. We went to the nearest baranggay post but no one was there and their office was locked. We also went to the nearest police station which is far, far way from where the incident happeneed, wala namang ginawang aksyon! Kaya hindi umuunlad ang Pateros, eh...

Ang ending... My dad and I, together with my brother, went to the police station in Comembo to blotter what had happened to me. Sa boundary ng Makati-Pateros kasi nangyari yun at papuntang Makati tumakbo yung mga bullshit na holdaper. They showed me photos of people who had records in their station. Sabe ko sa isip ko, "Yes! namukhaan ko pa yun, eh!" But when I opened the photo album and browsed through it...Fuckshit bat sila magkakamukha!

>Fast forward...hindi ko na nabawi ang dapat bawiin. hindi ko rin nabasag yung mukha na dapat basagin. -__-

Buti na lang:

• 1. 100 na lang laman nung wallet ko since galing kaming Mega (We watched Segunda Mano and I bought some personal stuffs.)
• 2. Cheap lang yung natangay nilang cellphone. :P
• 3. Buo pa ako. They didn't hurt us since they immediately ran away after getting my things. (thank you ha!)
• 4. Rodney was there. At least, there's someone who supported and comforted me after the incident. lol.

I learned my lesson. Wag na ulit dadaan sa alanganing lugar. On the lighter note, I'm so looking forward for my next phone! hahaha. Thank you sa mga pulis-makati! They helped us in everything they can.

Bullshit!

I met with my barkada/ tropa/ lunch mates way back in high school last week at Anne's home, (which only happens once in a blue moon). Cecille taught us a new game which is Bullshit! Actually, I just realized that this is the same with the card game me and cousins used play at home which we call Bluff. I think her friends just changed the name into Bullshit! just to make it more exciting. It is really exciting because it's a game of acting, lying, and pretending that you're telling the truth. I'm no good at lying but I know how to play safe. It took them long before they had the chance to punish me with powder. (Oh yeah, powder. It felt so cloudy to have so much powder all over your face.) Look at us...

Kyle

Cecille

Ako!

we ate Jugno's 20 inch pizaa + roasted chickens from Andok's. We also baked cookies and Anne made graham balls.

Also, I just realized that this is the first for me to meet Ralph (the one with glasses), once again, since our high school graduation.

We we're able to catch up with each other. Edcel introduced me a to new site. lol. Kyle and Anne gave me gifts which i didn't expect at all! It was truly a day to remember. A day filled with food, laughter, and joy! Hope to see you guys, soon!

Thank you @cecillereyesss and Anne Natividad for the photos! :)

Keepin' It Cool By The Pool

After a month of preparation, discussions, and arguments... natuloy din! I was very excited for this because it took us so looong for us to push this through and this has been our very first barkada outing, though there were lots of hindrances: like limited resources, typhoon Sendong was fast approaching, mga prof na makulit;  ang daming kontra, bad omens, super strict and overly protective parents, (which I truly understand why they're acting like that.).

Anyhow, we had more than 12 hours of fun and happiness. We sang and over-used the videoke machine. + We swam and played games in and out of the pool. Sulit na sulit ang 500 bucks! Next time sa CamSur at Bora naman, mates! HAHAHA. Thank you!

The new Concert Queen. The new Rap Empress. It's you already! 

Kalokohan. We played Pinoy-Henyo for a while. Rc was the first and last contestant, lol. He wasn't able to answer it, as a result, he was thrown into the pool. Kalokohan.

Sabog na ako dito. I felt so groggy because it was almost 1am when we reached Pasig.
