The Worst Feeling in the World
Listening To: Incubus - Rogues
Last night, may meeting kami sa village para sa preparation for the "Christmas Party". Dapat nga pre-New Year's Eve Party yun e. It's just so wrong. December 30 ba naman kasi ganapin. Anyway, nakita ko ulit yung childhood friends ko. Oo, as in nung may uhog pa ako. :P Haha. I know neighbors lang sila pero I don't usually see them kasi may school. Baka yung iba sabihin, "Sus! School lang e." Pero if you're from Pisay, you probably won't agree more with me. Besides, di rin lang naman ako yung busy e. Sila rin. My friend Ria is already in her first year of college, and my other friend Alisa is currently in her junior year of highschool which to them, is the crucial stage.
Being there invoked a whole gamut of emotions. Joy, sorrow, regret, eagerness, amusement... but all of these somehow ended up being just one thing, I felt neglected. Di ko alam kung sinasadya nila yun or not, pero it just felt that way. It hurts. I couldn't relate to a single thing they were talking about. Well, Kuya Jay kept cracking jokes here and there and, we all had a good laugh. But something is very different. I know I changed, pero dahil may pinagsamahan kami we should be able to catch up easily. And besides, they changed too! I know I'm not the only one who has to reach out. It works both ways.
It just felt really bad. Parang di ata ako nakatira dun e. Pero iba yung feeling e. Parang ako lang yung hindi maka-relate. Parang sila, ganun parin. And that's what probably fucks me out. Pare-pareho kaming busy pero these people appear to do the same things without me. Putang-ina talaga. Gusto ko na umuwi nun e! Bukod sa gabi na (We started at 9:00 pm and ended at 10:00 pm. Great. I missed The O.C. Thanks a lot.), di pa ako makarelate sa pinag-uusapan nila. Anlabo pa nung meeting. Walang budget. Tapos, ano na bang araw yun? December 26 na. E yung party sa December 30. Sana naman a week before diba? Yung party, walang formal invitation. Tapos, they were all ranting about how nobody would even come. E, papaano sila pupunta? They don't even know na may party. At least, make an effort to let them know diba? Para wala silang excuse na hindi malaman. Okay... okay... I know I'm also ranting right now pero diba? Sobrang nakakainis yung mga ganung tipo ng meeting e. Wala talaga yung patutunguhan. Haaayy ewan na lang. Ayoko na magdagdag pa. I might not even finish.
As for being left out, I am willing to catch up. I just don't know if they even want me to.

My Not-so-vacationesque Vacation
Listening To: The Walk - Imogen Heap (Nope. Hindi siya rendition of the one by The Cure. :P)
Wala na! Wala na talaga e. Arrrrrggghhh... Nakakainis talaga! Punyemas ang "Christmas Vacation" na 'to! Heck! Why do I even call it one? Andaming kailangan gawin. :(
- Life Sci: Portfolio Entry
- English: Read Les Miserables
- Filipino: Book Critique
- Filipino: Comic Book
- Retreat Palancas
- CS: Study Module 8 and 9
- Chem: Study for Post Quarter Exam
I have started reading Les Miserables (Kalahati na ako.) and doing the palancas. And dahil madami siya, I divided it. :P As in per day. Yung Les Miserables ginawa kong 50 pages per day. Tapos yung palanca, iba-iba. Around 4-5 palancas per day. Yung iba, will start after Christmas na.
Haaay... eto na naman. Pressured na naman ako.

Christmas Shopping
Listening To: Tangerine - Led Zeppelin
Went to the mall yesterday with Mummy Dearest. Did some last minute Christmas shopping. :) Nakakapagod sobra. Especially with the people pa. Haaayy... very tiring. Ang hirap talaga mamili ng regalo. Yun talaga yung nakakabangag na part e. Ang favorite part ko lang naman pag bubuksan na yung gift e. :P Deh. Kidding. Favorite part ko ay yung wrapping of gifts. :) My mom was able to get these gorgeous black pumps from Naturalizer. Sabi niya, feeling niya daw office girl na naman siya. Haha. :P She got me the shiny striped pull-over from Mango rin pala! Yay! Yay!!! *jump jump* We passed by some store (Nakalimutan ko na yung name. Hehe) and I got my Dad new ties as my Christmas gift. :) Oh, and binili rin namin yung favorite perfume (Polo Blue) niya as my mom's Christmas gift. Nakita ko rin pala si Jem and Cindy! Haha. Ang awkward kasi nung binati ko sila, as in, kaway kaway, "Hi Jem! Hi Cindy!", wala na kaming nasabi. :P Alam mo yun? Parang wala ka nang masabi and di mo na talaga maisip kung may dapat pa bang sabihin. :P
Kanina naman I helped my Mom do the grocery. :) Oh and I'm cooking something too for our Christmas Dinner. Potato Salad (yes, Jasper. yes, Jem) and Pasta with Alfredo Sauce. Yumyum. Nagugutom na tuloy ako. Haha. :P
Pero napansin ko lang, parang mas tahimik itong Christmas na 'to. Parang mas malungkot and actually, mas konting tao ang namimili ng regalo. I guess mahirap na talaga ang buhay kaya ayan yung ibang tao hindi na nagreregalo. Pero hindi bale na yung gifts e. I just hope na ngayong Christmas na 'to, makapagsalu-salo lahat ng pamilya. Kahit simple lang, basta sama-sama lahat. :)

Intel Week
Listening To: The Crane Wife, Pt. 3 - The Decemberists
Ito na yung pinaka-nakakabiglang week sa buhay ko sa Pisay. Biruin niyo, nag-aral ako last week-end for the periodicals tapos pag dating ng Monday, malalaman ko na ang Intel Regionals ay that week pala! Punyemas talaga. Tapos siyempre ibig nun sabihin, kailangan na yung final final final revised papers, at kailangan rin mag-practice para sa defense.
Sayang talaga yung oras. Sana man lang kung na-inform kami nang mas maaga edi nauna ko yung Intel diba??? Oh well... Here's a run down of all the stuff that happened this week. Araw-araw ata akong umiiyak e dahil sa overwhelming stuff to do.
MONDAY (December 4, 2006)
Friday sched kami nun kasi nga walang pasok nung Thursday at Friday the week before. Nung araw ko rin yun nalaman na Intel na the next day. And yep, ito yung araw na umupo ako in front of the computer from 8:00 pm-5:00 am. Nagpractice rin ako for the presentation. Kaya oo, sobrang walking patay na ako kinabukasan.
TUESDAY (December 5, 2006)
Sinubmit namin yung Final Papers namin na revised. Yung powerpoint na pinaghirapan ni Mich inedit pa pag dating sa school. Pero may malaki kaming problema nun. Wala pa kaming poster!!! E yun nga yung priority that day e. Kasi ipapaprint pa yun. Wala pa namang marunong mag-Photoshop sa aming tatlo. :/ Pero anyway, ayun nagawa na rin. Kinopya yung background ng powerpoint namin tapos yun yung ginawang background nung poster. O diba? Terno! :P Tapos nilagay na yung content using powerpoint. At mahirap siya ha. Yun pa namang figures namin hindi sila nakagroup kaya kailangan mo pa i-group ang blahblah. Tapos ang gamit pa pala namin yung tablet ni Egg. Hay nako. Grabe yun. Sinasabi ko sa inyo, gagamit ako ng typewriter pero hindi ako gagamit nun! Ang hirap gamitin! :(
Nalaman din pala namin na isa lang ang magrereport. Pero sa question and answer, kaming 3 na. Kaya isang malaking punyemas na naman yan. Nagsayang na naman ako ng oras. :(
Practice rin pala for the Paskorus. Wala na nga akong inabutan e. :( Sobrang hirap kasi ayusin nung poster.
WEDNESDAY (Decemer 6, 2006)
Nagpunta kami sa UE Caloocan para sa set-up ng posters. Dapat Pisay bus, pero wala raw breaks yung bus. Haha. :P Kaya sumakay kami dun sa sasakyan ng caf. Oo, dun sinasakay yung mga gulay, baboy at kung anu-ano pang nakikita natin sa caf. :P Wala naman masyadong ginawa. Inayos pa namin yung ibang papers tapos ayun bumalik rin sa school. Oh, and nag-commute kami pauwi. Ang galing noh? Grabe. INTEL. NapakaPRESTIGIOUS talaga.
Tapos Paskorus uli. As usual, konti na lang naabutan ko. :(
Wala rin pala akong tulog today kasi ginawa ko yung Life Science storybook namin nina Dane and Cheska. At oo, napilitan ako matuto mag-photoshop. :P
THURSDAY (December 7, 2006)
Supposedly day ng deliberation for Intel. Sumakay kami sa car ni Egg. Simula 8:00 am-5:00 pm nakasalampak kami sa maalikabok na sahig ng UE. Buong araw kaming naghihintay sa mga judges na hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit yung schedule nila, sila mismo sumira. :( Batong-bato ako sa araw na to. Natatandaan ko meron pang isang Life Science judge na naligaw sa amin, e Applied Science kami.
Judge: Why are you using silicone in your project? Don't you know that it is bad?
Me: Sir, the type of silicone we used here is physiologically inert. It's safe po for surgical implantations. They use it nga po for breast augmentations diba?
Judge: *didn't listen* You know what they do today? Stem cell. They culture cells and inject it in the eye.
Me: Sir, we're only students po. We don't have the budget for that yet. And it is not covered by our project.
Judge: *walks away while shaking head*
Arrrrggghh!!! Fuck talaga yung matandang yun. Stem cell???? Alam ba niya pinagsasabi niya? E, ang nagfufund nga ng stem cell research yung Reagans diba? Punyemas naman. Kahit nga pro scientists natin hindi ata yung ginagawa.
Besides, sa Life Science siya noh?? Maybe, yun yung reason kung bakit niya pinagdidiinan yung stem cell. Kasi puro Bio siya. E hello? Physics yung project namin. Kaya wala siguro maintindihan. :P
Anyways, dumilim na at lahat di namin nalaman kung sino ang finalists kasi the judges left na pala. Yes, bastusan talaga! Sana man lang sinabihan kami diba?
Tapos pauwi, car uli ni Egg. Pag dating sa school, nakapagpractice pa ako nang 4 na beses with Justine and Cy for Paskorus. Tapos after nun, Batch Party sa caf. Actually, nagustuhan ko siya. Kasi parang ni-recall lahat ng meorable performances ng batch. At sa totoo lang, nun lang talaga lalong tumatak sa utak ko na malapit na ako gumraduate. Malapit na mag-new year. Pag pasok namin, lagas na yung first week ng January. So, 3 January weeks. Tapos, 3 February weeks. Tapos, March na. :(
Just so, I don't end this part with that sad face. Birthday pala ni Reynald nun! :)
FRIDAY (December 8, 2006)
Nung night before, sobrang nagdasal ako. Hindi ko talaga alam kung ano gagawin. Intel or Paskorus Practice? Pero nung morning, naisip ko yung dapat gawin. Sa morning pupunta ako ng Intel pero pagdating ng 12:00, kahit nakarapagreport kami or not, babalik ako ng Pisay. Buti na lang, pasok kami as finalist. Yay! Di nasayang yung pagpunta ko. Tapos nakareport din kami agad before 12:00 pa nga e. :P So balik kami agad ng school.
Pag dating sa school, palit agad tapos practice. Sobrang kinakabahan na talaga ako nun. Kasi naman diba, I haven't exactly sung publicly. Well, except for Music class nung elementary. Pero hello, required kami lahat nun kumanta! E, eto... Punyemas talaga. First time ko tapos Paskorus agad. Parang mahihimatay na talaga ako.
Pero ayun, first runner-up kami sa Paskorus! Yay!!! :):):)
Tapos nalaman rin namin na third place kami sa Intel Applied Science Category! Yay ulit!!! :):):) Sila Mara first place!!! :):):) Pero sa Life Science walang pumasok. :( E pano yung kina Rob diba? Ang galing kaya nung research nila tapos hindi pumasok. Yung nanalo sa Life Science yung janitor fish as shoe leather. Putang-ina! Ano yun diba? Yun na yung nanalo last year a! Janitor fish at biodiesel. Fuck. Ano ba yan? Hindi ba mas maganda yung cure for cancer??? Puta. Ano ba nangyayari sa judges?
Anyway, ayun. Ang hectic nung week grabe. Tapos next week Perio naman naming mga nag-Intel. Buti pa yung iba, vacation na. Nakakainggit. :(
Nakuha ko na rin pala yung Starbucks planner! :) It's so gorgeous. I am ready na to plan for next year. Naks naks! ;)

Memphis, did you know? That your baby boy... :P
Listening To: Drown - The Smashing Pumpkins
Nag-practice kami kanina for the Paskorus kahit 9 lang kami. Sa DBC kami nagpractice. Nakakahingal grabe. As in maririnig mo talaga yung sarili mo breathe every 3 words kasi sobrang short of breath ka na. Yung chosen song pa naman namin (Mary, did you know?), kailangan mo talaga ng hangin. Medyo sumakit yung lalamunan ko sa kaka-sustain ng notes. :( Tapos, nag-lunch kami sa may Mini Stop. Grabe, nakita ko na naman yung Belgian ice cream nila na sobrang sarap kahit super cheap lang. Kaso, di ako nakabili kasi di pa ata tama yung consistency ng ice cream dahil kakasindi lang nung ice cream machine. Pero actually, buti na lang di ako nakabili kasi kung nakabili ako, tonsilitis uli ang abot ko. :P Simula 9:00 am hanggang 2:00 pm kami nag-practice, tapos after nun nanood kami ng movie sa SM North. Nakisakay kami sa car ni Jackie. At dahil marami kami (5 kaming makikisakay, e pang-apat na lang yung space tapos sasakay pa si Jackie), kinalong ko si Tin. Haha. Buti na lang magaan lang siya kaya di naman uncomfortable yung ride. Ewan ko lang si Tin. Baka siya yung di naging comfortable. :P Tapos, si Garrick kinalong ni Jasper. Haha. Uy, pero ayos ha. Imagine, 6 kami sa likod. :P
Pagdating namin sa SM, nanood kami ng movie. Dapat "Borat", kaso di yung showing sa cinemas ng SM. Kaya "The Return" or "Happy Feet" na lang. We ended up watching "Happy Feet" na honestly, I regretted watching. :P Dapat "The Return" na lang e! Kasama naman natin si Jasper e! Magiging comedy yun! Haha. Which reminds me of watching "Pulse" with Jasper, Reynald, Jem and Don. But that's another story. For now, importanteng malaman na nakakatuwa at nakakahiyang kasama si Jasper sa sinehan especially kung horror yung papanoorin niyo. :P Sobrang weird ng Happy Feet. Akala ko para siyang Madagascar. Alam mo yun, fun na may kuwenta yung story. Eto, parang pag-upo mo dun sa sinehan, masasabi mo na lang sa sarili mo, "What the hell made me watch this film?!!" Masusuka ka sa yelo at penguins, promise! Isusumpa mo ang Ice Monster, promise. Oo na. Cute na kung cute yung baby penguins (lalo na si baby Mumble!!!). Pero what the heck, masusuka ka rin kasi puro mga ibong di makalipad na kumakanta at sumasayaw ang makikita mo. Ang galing ng sound effects though. Napasigaw pa nga si Jasper e. Hehe. :P Pero yung story niya talaga yung weird. Biruin mo, nung makita ng UN na maraming dancing penguins, they pulled out all fishing boats sa South Pole? Tapos, yung mga activist na pro-penguins, may placards pa sila na nakalagay, "Don't Eat Fish." Fuck talaga. Ano yun diba??? Tapos yung conflict pa mismo nung main character (Mumble), isa pa yang ewan talaga. He became a pariah just because he dances and cannot sing. Ay nako, ewan ko na talaga. Hindi talaga siya pambata. Kaya ewan ko kung bakit nag-feeling bata kami kanina. Haha.

Ready-Set-Whine!
Listening To: The Fix - Minus the Bear
Grabe!!! Feeling ko talaga mamamatay na ako. :( Super stressed mentally, physically, emotionally... Lahat na ng aspect. Lahat ata ng subjects mahirap na. Di na talaga ma-handle ng utak ko. Tapos, dahil nga mahirap yung topics kailangan mag-aral nang mas matindi, kaya walang tulog. Kaya, puyat. Kaya, nanghihina. Kaya, nagkakasakit. Kaya, feeling ko mamamatay na 'ko. :'( Pag nagkakalagnat pa naman ako, super sakit ng ulo ko. Yung parang feeling mo binibiyak na yung utak mo! Haayyy... Buti na lang walang pasok today. Kagabi ata yung unang 6-hr sleep ko in 2 weeks.
May practice dapat kami today for Paskorus (Naks! Finalists! Hehe :P), kaso due to unforeseen unfortunate events, di natuloy. :( And nope, hindi siya dahil kay bagyong Reming. Kaya dahil dun, (yes, para to sa Charm) we really need to work harder.
Blessing talaga yung bagyo! Hehe. Andami kong magagawa na hindi ako pressured. Woohoo! Kaso ang problema ngayon yung mga tests namin na dapat for today, kelan kaya yun isisingit? Kapag sa Monday, magpapakamatay na talaga ako. Kinabukasan nun, Periodicals na namin. Eh, hindi pa nga ako nakakapag-aral nang matino e!!! Hala...
Anyway, I tried to take a break muna. Para naman ma-relax ako. :) I downloaded a couple of albums (or maybe not a couple :P), tried to find new podcasts, went blog-hopping, had coffee and a croissant with cream cheese, and eto ngayon, posting a new entry in my blog. After nito, I'll probably download a few more albums. Haha. I don't really get to listen to them after I download them because most of the time, they get stuck in my iPod for a week until ma-realize ko na may ganung album pala akong na-download. :P Haha. Sa dami, di ko narin kasi alam kung anong uunahin pakinggan. Haayaan niyo na ako. Ito lang talaga relaxation ko. After siguro nito, aral na ulit. :(
Ay kahapon pala, may surprise interview kami nina Mich and Egg. Separate yung interview ha. At sobrang nawindang ako. 'Di ko talaga alam sasabihin ko dun. Kailangan mo pa umupo dun sa gitna ng seminar room. Tapos nakaupo sila (I mean, the interviewers. Mind you, interviewers.) dun sa chairs . Para kang nasa coliseum, tapos pinapanood ka ng mga Romans na kainin ng lion. Ganun yung feeling ko.
Kaya lalo ko tuloy na-feel na parang mamamatay na ako. :P
