Family Always Comes First

After too many delays (2 years?), I've finally decided to, yes FINALLY, finish a Project 365.

What's Project 365?

I won't answer that for you because I'm a lazy person when it comes to explaining so Google it. Maybe there are 952173847034785029385 search results present there.

Happy New Year! We've finally entered a new year. I think everyone's excited about it. People are, like, posting "2010 will be better," "I'm gonna rock 2010!" shenanigans but really, good luck.

This picture was taken past 12 midnight of January 1. We've just had dinner that time, as you can see. We celebrated New Year at Cainta. Since we're only 3 in the house (yes, I'm an only child) plus our helper, we usually go there everytime there's a family celebration. We have three families there:

MONTEMAYOR FAMILY: Tito Eller (white shirt), Tita Ana (orange shirt), Mathew (young boy wearing glasses)

VELASCO FAMILY: Tito Yong, Tita Cristy, Rylan and Meejo (they're the people left who wore red)

LIM FAMILY: Papa (green shirt), Mama (blue shirt) and me (pink shirt)

The rest who weren't mentioned are our helpers.

Fireworks were our thing in the past years but since my father got really injured that one time, we slowed down on buying them. We had "fountains" and "lusis" for this year which was really worth it! We also prepared games though we didn't have much time since everyone was still tired because we slept at 2 AM the other day.

And yes, we all had fun and full stomachs :)

These Times Come.

Hey, guys :D

Some Will Create A Mess Out Of You.

This is the story of a really annoying MRT ride which pissed me off more than my height.

So, at 4:45 PM I thought that I should go home already and besides people would be rushing inside the station after 5. I went through the usual MRT thing procedure: buy card-inspection-insert card-get card-blah-blah. Good thing was, there wasn't so many people yet at the time because if was the opposite, hala na.

MRT, as usual, was jam-packed. People from offices, schools, everywhere! And since There was a too little space for some people to fit. Anyway, since there was little space and many people were going out at the same time, I had no choice but also to move (DUH! to him). So I moved towards the door there was this man who bumped me and my heavy things (seriously, what the hell, they were so F-ING heavy). Someone wearing yellow and about in his early 50's but I wasn't able to see his face.

I was close to the door and then he said stuff like, "scholar ka pa man din. Nakasalamin ka pa naman!" I purposely didn't want to hear what he was saying because he sounded like a drunk man who's wanting for attention. And then when we were already in Quezon Avenue, he even sat beside me and said the same things again and again and again. I never heard the end of it. Then, what pissed me off was that when we were about to go out of the train, he said "sige, scholar, lundag!"

Excuse me, mister. First of all, I'm no scholar and have you ever heard that not all people who wears glasses are scholars? S-T-E-R-E-O-T-Y-P-E much. (Thank God for blogs, I'm actually pouring my anger here) Mister, you were in the wrong train. You bumped me and my heavy things. You don't have to be so immature, childish and ill-mannered in public. And EXCUSE-MOI, I didn't do anything wrong with you to start with.

What did I do? NONE. Why? Ang ganda ko kasi =)) Lumalabo nanaman :-" That was a joke though He's not worth my attention. He's a stranger. He doesn't know me, I don't know him. So what's the point? Who was he anyway? He doesn't really matter. Di tayo close, okay.

So, guys, what's up? :D

PS: Sorry for the senseless and whatever post.

Stranded For The First Time.

Having been stranded in school was indeed an experience.

Last Saturday, my parents dropped me off our school for a career talk especially for IT students. At that time, I had no thought of going home earlier than I usually do mainly because I felt bitter towards my mother again for not waking me up. Little did I know that I'm not going to be able to be at home that night. My friends and I have seen the effects of strong winds and heavy rains from the window. Not only did we see the outside but there was water flooding the two elevators and the lower part (Dizon Auditorium) of our school.

Time ticked fast and there were only 5 people left from the 30-35 people who were present during the talk. At first, I didn't care when I'm going home because we were having fun doing "blog videos." Anyway, as we finally went out the room because of countless fluctuations with the electricity, I realized that the sky is very dark as if it's midnight. The thought that first entered my mind was: "I want to go home" but then again there's no one at home who can. Flood was everywhere, even in the never been flooded areas before in Metro Manila namely Katipunan and Commonwealth. Anyway, as the night grew darker, we knew we had to get some place to sleep. Frankly, at first, I was hoping we could check in to a hotel or sleep in a friends condo and then we found some higher classmen who were also stranded there in school. They offered us a room where they were also staying at that time. They had these SLR's and some photoshoot props. It even looked like they knew they're gonna be staying there overnight. So, after bringing down our things we went to McDonald's to buy something to eat. While eating, Renzo's friend and at the same time our batchmate, texted him (Renzo) and offered us a room in Residencia (the condominium in front of UA&P). I could say I sensed a feeling of relief from my friends but then again, I didn't feel it because dude, I don't have clothes and other personal stuff with me. Tapos, ang pangit pa ng outfit ko. ANAK NG ANO TALAGA OH

Although we already had a room for the night, I still felt like going home but there's no choice. My family was in Cainta (good thing, our house was located in a high place) at that time. We were able to watch news and the scene was really devastating. We counted the hours that we're staying there and as the morning dawned everywhere we hoped that we'll get home soon but it still took us 5-8 hours (my father and uncle was able to fetch me at about 8 PM, Sunday).

People died and people are still missing until now. My blockmate isn't even home yet because the road to their village is still flooded. And I've been wanting to help out in either UA&P or SHS in packing relief goods for those whose houses and stuff have been destroyed by the devastating Ondoy/Ketsana. Tomorrow, I'll be helping out! :D Please help out too! Schools and mall stores are accepting donations from you.

During the talk and before we were stranded.

Renzo and I (Hindi siya Koreano, ok? HAHA)

Most important of all, don't forget to pray for our brothers and sisters. It'll surely help a lot :)

Missed Me?

Forget about the UAAP Cheerdance for a while and save it for later, shall we? Thank God, though, I'm not affected by that because, first, I'm from a really far university compared to those UAAP universities. Second, I didn't actually know it's gonna happen today until know when people are endlessly ranting about it in Facebook. Seriously, what's with the FEU Tamaraws' victory that some can't accept it? Oh well.

Anyway, I'm very happy I finally had thought of blogging again but for now, I'm going to post some pictures.

During our Incorporation Rites with blockmates.

With Trixie, Irmay, Mia and EJ

The last day of our so-called Hatch Week: The Get-Fired Up Day.

Some sabaw moments with Irmay, Mia & Raniel

And finally, the Retro Day of our Hatch Week.

Hatch week's supposed to be the "Freshmen Hell Week" but I'm glad it didn't turn out to be that way! :) One week isn't enough to be considered as a hell week. Well, for me.

DECLARING IT

I'M ON A HIATUS.

Sorry, I've only got this time to announce this :(

I miss you, guys >:D<

See you on Twitter, Plurk & FB na lang :D

(Will probably back next month.)

That's The Remedy.

It's July 19 and after this day, it's gonna be a month since I updated. Well, it actually wasn't because of the "sorry, I'm busy" type but more of me being lazy. Laziness I say? Blame Facebook, I know you know why.

So, first and foremost, all I can say about college is that it's fun with my ever-funny blockmates, Block IITS! ;)

07/14 in between break and a class.

The "section 1 IITS" with Chary and Tiara
who are from the second section.

First week of university life was much stressful especially that I really feel it in my back. Stress was all around my body and I thought massage was so essential that I had it. Okay, back to the block. I was anxious to enter college and before the first day, which was June 21, I felt what most college freshmen people had [felt]: nervous about the first class, the professors and of course, blockmates and classmates. And since I had PE as my very first subject ever there at the university, I imagined our PE class to be so much rigorous because it's college, okay. Fortunately, though, we didn't do much on the first day: we just had to have this physical exam thing.

(I'm arranging my thoughts, there are many.)
FAST FORWARD.

Every week passed by just any other with pictures. My blockmates love taking pictures. Disregard the v word, please. We went to watch movies and we enjoyed each other's company.


And just this Friday we -- there were about 16 of us (out of 40 something) -- went to Eastwood to watch Harry Potter 6 when everyone else's school was suspended. So, in that picture we still have 5 other blockmates who were MIA, at least in the picture.

So yeah, we watched the 6th installment of Harry Potter and I tell you, it's so much better than Twilight. I meant Harry Potter in general so haters, excuse me for a moment. I know some of you didn't really enjoy it but I did especially the part where Ron was like a lunatic.

Ron: It's beautiful, isn't it? The moon.
Harry: Divine. Had ourselves a little late night snack, did we?
Ron: It was on your bed, the box, I just thought I'd try one.

The downside was that Dumbledore died. I even cried, seriously. I haven't read the 6th book yet so it was very much surprising that this event happened. Sorry for this emotional part but Dumbledore has been part of the series ever since... year 2000. It's just really... sad.

Enough of the Harry Potter madness now and move on, shall we? So, we have this Hatch Week at school where we had to wear themed clothes the whole week.

Monday: High School Uniform Day--- very much awaited! :-bd
Tuesday: Retro Day
Wednesday: UN Day
Thursday: Geek Day
Friday: Get Fired Up! Day

So yeah, I need help? Especially on the UN Day. I would like to be more of a Chinese. Haha! Everyone's worried about this so am I! Naki-ride na lang ako :-bd And I have to do this NSTP reaction paper shiz to be passed on Wednesday so therefore, I have to shut up now.

:D I missed blogging!

It's Super Junior for you! ;;)
And oh, Hyuk's hair's red!
