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!

||Twitter?||

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love you tomorrow.

(Correction: English I is always until 10:30)

My schedule for the very first term of my college life. It's all orange, obviously... the background, I mean. Haha. So, first off: if you don't know where I'm gonna study starting on Monday, it's in University of Asia and the Pacific, Pearl Drive in Ortigas. Just so you know and! I'm starting it with PE. Why basketball, you may ask? Well, I really don't know. I was expecting that I and my sectionmates would be able to choose our PE but then again, nope that wasn't the case.

I know I'm moving into college already but there are still some issues in our school particularly those that concern the lower batches. One that is about our batch. I should say, this really bad person called lilmissshsian, that's what she calls herself, is spreading some really weird stuff about my batchmates. We already graduated, goddamnit, bitch. She even called one of them a nanny in her face. That lilmissshsian must be so embarrassed by now that my batchmates have proven her wrong. But the point is, she doesn't have to judge everybody else as bad especially the people in my batch and we're already away from the School of the Holy Spirit. Maybe she just couldn't get enough of us, could she? Maybe Gossip Girl has gotten into her head OR she just likes the attention aka KSP.

The second issue. Well, I'd better not talk about it. I'll just say: Respect is earned. Why not start respecting yourselves before karma gets in your way?

Set aside those issues. And I'll share with you my expected college life. In short, my university goals:

Angel, G, Tine, Kaila, Liz and I
(Kaila and Liz were new found friends. Yay \:D/)

Being active in organizations. has always been my dream. I never was once the "active" but more the "silent." Don't get me wrong, I'm not the person who sulks in the corner all day but I'm really self-conscious when talking to people. I started achieving this goal by joining the UA&P Chorale. Last June 17th, I and my friends went to UA&P for the auditions. I was actually really nervous that my jaw kept on shaking. The funny thing was when I was singing my piece, "Reflection," my throat suddenly stopped working or something. You know the "when will my reflection show" part? Well, when I was about to sing "reflection," I suddenly stopped at "reflect." HAHA, nabitin pa. I recovered, fortunately. And just a while ago when I woke up, I received a text message from Ms. Puyat, the moderator, that I passed. (Thank you, Lord!) I know it's a small thing but big things come from small beginnings right? Congratulations to Angel, G & Tine too! Liz didn't pass it, though, but for sure maybe, we're gonna join the dance group next semester.

We changed our names. As you can see, Angel was Leah; G was Gil; Tine was Babz; Liz was Melissa and I... am now Frances =)) Because I was Mer or Brader Mer in high school.

Me: Sali tayo dun sa Squadra 'pag di tayo nakapasa!
Tine: Sige! Sige! Or dun sa... ano ba yun. Uno.. Una?
G: IS-A! Hahahaha!

I suddenly remembered my high school History teacher's quote:

Bakit mataas ang puno ng mangga? For you to aim high, mga anak!

Be a Dean's Lister. A day never passes without this thought crossing my mind. I'm really aiming high this time although I'm unsure of what my attitude will be in the next coming days. Frankly, at night, before I go to bed, I always pray to God to help me not to be lazy anymore and to be more determined. This is so dramatic but it's true!

Get rid of my glasses. No contacts, please. It isn't permanent, though. I'm gonna use my glasses for classes only so that I'll get used to the no-glasses-days in the future.

Learn languages. Last night, I asked a few people in Y!M and Twitter what Asian language is the best: Mandarin, Japanese or Korean. Mandarin got most of the points so I'm planning to study that during the APEC. It's that, isn't it? I read something about that in our Prospectus. Haha! I would really like to learn Korean and Japanese but now, I'm decided of which to take first: Japanese.

Earn money. I'm gonna be money-wise this time! No unnecessary stuff. Promise, I'll keep that one this time.

And so, we're down to the last topic of today's post:

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY! :D

Kuya ko, by the way.
HAHA!

It was fast since Mothers' Day came. I think we're gonna have a pre-Fathers' Day celebration tonight at my aunt's home. It's supposed to be a surprise party so SHHH. Haha! I ain't gonna post something fishy here (UUUUY, cheesy!) because I'm not that kind of person. I'll just say I'm grateful for having a father like him. More than grateful, that is. I'm so much happy that he's always there >:D< style="font-style: italic;">Finally.

You're Nobody Until You Go Suicidal.

As I have stated in my Twitter page: FINALLY!


So what have I been up to these days? I haven't posted any sensible material here since the 8th which was my last update. Well, I'm not that so much busy with my life. Actually, I'm just sitting here all day and night in front of the computer for my eyes to drop to the ground.

Whatevs. Well, I've also been spending a lot of money since Day 1 of summer began. One is that I spent not too much for the clothes I needed to wear when college officially starts. And then, tomorrow the reason why I am so much excited is that Leah, Kristine, Gilleane and I are gonna shop together at Greenhills! Shoes and bags are yet to come. Hopefully.

Second, I spent too much money for Korean stuff. Super Junior & Big Bang, my most favorite groups in the whole wide world before The Script.

The BBPH stuff and Sorry, Sorry (Version C) CD! Too bad, the CD was kind of delayed... maybe because of the rain and the slow postal system here in the country?

I was originally planning on posting something more sensible here like something about the truths in life or somewhat more dramatic than that. Oh well, I guess I'm more of myself this time.

FYI, this is a short post. For me. Haha! :D

I suddenly missed high school.
And if you haven't read the newspaper yesterday or something last week.
Our classes was postponed to fucking 22nd.

Make Me Forget.

Pardon me for being a fangirl this time. I'm just happy that Kibum's not MIA anymore and will finally join that 13-member group again. His hair, apparently, has been a shock to me but I'm glad that he might just be back to Super Junior already. I mean who knows? He might be MIA again after that premiere of Choi Min Sik's movie like before where he, first, disappeared after the LG CF's.

(So long, short hair.)

And the fact that Super Junior's having the 2nd Asia Tour Super Show Part II. Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei and Bangkok were the confirmed cities where they are to be seen, though. I wish Manila's in their schedule because they're having 10 cities to tour.

Wonder Girls would be performing at a Jonas Brothers Concert by the way.
The fangirling ends here.

*****

So what have I been up to? There's the freshmen orientation thing at UA&P for the past three days. 'Twas very tiresome but it was fun. There wasn't a culture shock for me but I'm not that so much talkative yet. I didn't really grow up having a large bunch of guys around me so I think this must be the adjustment whatever they're talking about. But I'm sad the IT Block had to break into two: IT1 and IT2. I'm in IT1 so I'm wondering who would be my "real" blockmates.

And I'm commuting now... with my friends and it's very exhausting especially when the MRT keeps on overheating or something like that. This exhaustion gets me to sleep at 9 PM.

June 22's our opening of classes. Sad. :(

/e d i t.

This is what kids gotta say:

What is the proper age to get married?

• “Eighty-four. Because at that age, you don’t have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom.” (Judy, 8)
• When I am done with kindergarten, I’m going to find me a wife.” (Tommy, 5)

What do most people do on a date?

• “On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.” (Mike, 10)

When is it okay to kiss someone?

• “You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, ‘cause she’ll want to have videos of the wedding.” (Jim, 10)
• “Never kiss in front of other people. It’s a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours.” (Kally, 9)

The Great Debate: Is it better to be single or married?

• “It’s better for girls to be single, but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them.” (Lynette, 9)
• “It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I’m just a kid. I don’t need that kind of trouble.” (Kenny, 7)

Why does Love happen between two people?

• “No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That’s why perfume and deodorant are so popular.” (Jan, 9)
• “I think you’re supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed to be so painful.” (Harlen, 8)

What is it like to fall in love?

• “Like an avalanche where you have to run for your life.” (Roger, 9)
• “If falling in love is anything like learning to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes to long time to learn.” (Leo, 7)

On the role of good looks in love and marriage:

• “If you want to be loved by somebody who isn’t already in your family, it doesn’t hurt to be beautiful.” (Jeanne, 8)
• “It isn’t always just how you look. Look at me. I’m handsome like anything and I haven’t got anybody to marry me yet.” (Gary, 7)
• “Beauty is skin deep. But how rich you are can last a long time.” (Christine, 9)

Concerning why lovers hold hands:

• “They want to make sure their rings don’t fall off, because they paid good money for them.” (David, 8)

Confidential opinions about love:

• “I’m in favor of love as long as it doesn’t happen when ‘The Simpsons’ are on TV.” (Anita, 6)
• “Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I’ve been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me.” (Bobby, 8)
• “I’m not rushing into being in love. I’m finding fourth grade hard enough.” (Regina, 10)

Personal qualities necessary to be a good lover:

• “One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills.” (Ava, 8)

Some sure-fire ways to make a person fall in love with you:

• “Tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores.” (Del, 6)
• “Don’t do things like have smelly, green sneakers. You might get attention, but attention ain’t the same thing as love.” (Alonzo, 9)
• “One way is to take the girl out to eat. Make sure it’s something she likes to eat. French fries usually works for me.” (Bart, 9)

How can you tell if two adults eating dinner at a restaurant are in love?

• “Just see if the man picks up the check. That’s how you can tell if he’s in love.” (John, 9)
• “Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold. Other people care more about the food,” (Brad, 8)
• “It’s love if they order one of those desserts that are on fire. They like to order those because it’s just like their hearts are on fire.” (Christine, 9)

What most people are thinking when they say ‘I love you’:

• “The person is thinking: Yeah, I really do love him, but I hope he showers at least once a day.” (Michelle, 9)

How a person learns to kiss:

• “You learn it right on the spot, when the gooshy feelings get the best of you.” (Doug, 7)
• “It might help if you watched soap operas all day.” (Carin, 9)

When is it okay to kiss someone?

• “It’s never okay to kiss a boy. They always slobber all over you… that’s why I stopped doing it.” (Jean, 10)

How to make love endure:

• “Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work.” (Tom, 7)
• “Don’t forget your wife’s name… that will mess up the love.” (Roger, 8)
• “Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take the trash out.” (Randy, 8)

Commotion. Motion. Ion. On.

The ten things I'm grateful for:

1. God. This is always on top of my list, forever. He's more than the creator but He was the father who cared for us all and showed mercy to me despite the unexplainable forms of sins I've made.

2. My family. I wouldn't be here, blogging and posting silly things, if my parents didn't decide to get married and do it. I'm most specially grateful for that. The material things, which, presently, seems to be the most important things, today... they've given me. More than what is needed.

3. Personal Friends. No man is an island. A saying that's been used over and over again for the past decades. Objections are not to be made because the people surrounding a person make that individual special and unique. Thank you because, simply, my friends, were there to make me laugh despite my issues.

4. Close relatives. You made my world upside down and crazy.

5. Shops and malls. Clothes are what I needed and you gave it to me. I was hungry and you made me eat. You've provided these until I've got no money.

6. Music. It made my world more colorful and not boring.

7. My Mistakes. Seriously, I should be thanking these 'cos these made me strong and fight. Nothing more, nothing less.

8. Online Friends. You all have made me realize that there's a bigger world out there when I was still in high school and elementary. And guess what? I'm enjoying it. Knowing new friends despite the location and sometimes, a slightly huge age gap.

9. Blogging. Everyday I think of what to blog but suddenly that thing called writer's block hit me. Through these words I say here I express what I feel more and when I had no one, there it was: the thing called blog.

10. Dreams. These are what I hold on to. I have high dreams to pursue and I'm gonna start it on June 10th.

THANK YOU! :D

Okay, so. I and my friends went to ASAP '09 last Sunday, June 1, 2009. We had to get there at ABS-CBN at 9:30 AM so we hurried up. At 10:00 we toured around the studios with this cute guy but whatever his name was. Anyway, we had to get to Studio 10 (or is it?) for the show itself and we were given 20 minutes to have snacks. I got so hungry that I was the only one who brought food by myself. As you can see, these were the people I saw at the studios. I found Mariel Rodriguez very pretty and friendly. She was very nervous before her intermission number and was always thanking people if they cheered for her.She and Zanjoe totally look good with each other :"> I really liked Vhong Navarro. Not the like.. crush. He and Billy Crawford just have a very good sense of humor. They were goofing around the stage when the show was about to be over. Rachelle Ann Go's legs were her first feature that I noticed: she's got good skin! John Lloyd? He's not really the kind of a guy I would have a crush on but yeah, I also took pictures for the sake of my friends who's totally into him. HAHA! I was stunned or better yet, starstrucked when I saw Robi Domingo again :"> (First was when our Junior prom which was before he joined PBB). And how can I forget Enchong Dee dee dee baby baby (Ok, I was singing in tune of SNSD's "Gee")? Well... he's handsome. Toni Gonzaga's too pretty and I laughed at Christian Bautista when he began to wear sunglasses... Mataas ba yung araw? :-j

It was a really fun day although I didn't get hangovers or whatever like my friends did. Haha!
(More pictures @ my Multiply ASAP '09)
