ano ba ginawa ko today?
ah! sembreak kase, and our research group wasn’t supposed to be in school until 3pm today kase we were only supposed to measure the zones of inhibition in our plates. kahapon namin nilagay sa incubator ung mga plates with paper discs na may antimicrobial meds at pinatubo muna namin sila kaya late kami pumunta sa school kanina.
well, i left my bed at 3pm! grabe, ang sakit ng leeg ko kaka-tulog. talk about bawi ng tulog. grabe. tapos pagdating namin sa school, waaaaaaaahhh!!! negative yung results ng research namin. oh no. uulit nanaman kami nito sometime this sem, or sa christmas break. noooooooooo!!!!!! grrr… lagot….
umuwi ako sa bahay ng mga bandang 5:30pm. at nanood ako ng Amelie. funny. kakaiba. =) you should watch it if you have the time. it’s really nice.

happy birthday ni christian today! he’s my classmate and the leader of our research work. nakakatawa nga kase buong araw namin siya kinukulit na ilibre kami dahil birthday nya. since the moment he entered the room, kinakantyawan na namin siya ng pizza. tapos it was so hot kanina kase brown-out tapos lahat kami mejo asungot na tapos maya’t-maya kami humihirit ng blow-out. haha. parang every two minutes ata may magsasalita ng, ‘tian, pizza naman jan!’ and christian would reply, ‘ayoko nga’ or ‘pag natapos natin lahat tong trabaho natin.’
                                                                                                                                     
basta, favorite namin si christian kanina. we tried our best to finish everything we needed to do before 8pm kase sabi nga namin magpapalibre kami sa kanya. ahahaha! he was adamant that he wasn’t going to treat us today. pero nung natapos namin ung work namin, bumigay naman siya at nag-aya manlibre. kumain kami sa Andok’s at nilibre nya kami ng dinner. ang gift namin sa kanya ay 1/2 gallon ng selecta super chocolate. syempre pati kami kumain din. hehe. then we sang happy birthday for him dun sa andok’s. haha, hilarious! hiyang-hiya si christian kase ang lakas ng kanta namin tapos nagtitinginan sa amin ung mga tao. e mga hardcore pa naman yung ibang kumakain. mga nag-iinuman ng beer, mga barkada na feeling astig, at mga couples na pa-tweetums ung kumakain dun. ahahaha. kawawa naman si christian. debut nya pa naman. hehe. tapos sabi nya wala daw nagtetext sa kanya. so text naman kami sa kanya kahit katabi lang namin sya and we greeted him happy birthday. todo text din ung classmate kong isa sa nanay nya at ung isa naman sa girlfriend nya para i-greet din si christian. hehe. basta, ang saya kanina. hehe.
                               happy birthday tian! =)

yearning

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006
"We are all yearning for home. And home has nothing to do with how good the place is. It has everything to do with whether or not it is the right place. The right place isn’t something you chose, but a place that chooses you, molds you, and tells you who you are.” - Craig Barnes

for a house with parents. for food that tastes like nanay. for clothes that smell like family. for teasing tatay that he’s an ogre. haha. for an irritating brother who makes me scream all the time. for a brother who gives me books to read and tickles me until i can’t breathe. for a room that’s really mine. for hugs. and being silly with family. and laughter. and family pictures. and baby pictures. for seeing each other anytime i want to. even when i don’t want to. for fighting over who gets the last piece of chicken. for hunting who borrowed my shirt. for word factory. and monkey island. and making fun of each other. for being a daughter and a sister again……………………………………………………………………………………

sun and moon from Miss Saigon

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006
You are sunlight and i moon
Joined by the gods of fortune
Midnight and high noon
Sharing the sky
We have been blessed
You and I
You are here like a mystery
I’m from a world that’s so different
From all that you are
How in the light of one night
Did we come
So far
Outside day starts to dawn
Your moon still floats on high
The birds awake
The stars shine too
My hands still shake I reach for you
And we meet in the sky
You are sunlight and i moon
Joined here brightening the sky
With the flame of love
Made of Sunlight…Moonlight
current mood: pensive, angsty, irritated, i can’t understand myself tonight.

solo saxophone from Miss Saigon

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006
in a place that won’t let us feel
in a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you

in a world that’s moving too fast
in a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold you

our lives will change, when tomorrow comes

tonight our hearts drown the distant drums

and we have music all right
tearing the night
the song
played on a solo saxophone
a crazy sound
a lonely sound
a cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
it’s telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it’s the last night of the world

on the other side of the earth
there’s a place where life still has worth
I will take you

I’ll go with you

you won’t believe all the things you’ll see
I know ’cause you’ll see them all with me

if we’re together that’s when
we’ll hear it again
the song
played on a solo saxophone
a crazy sound
a lonely sound
a cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
it’s telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it’s the last night of the world

dreams
were all I ever knew

dreams
you won’t need when I’m through

anywhere
we may be
I will sing with you
our song. . .
so stay with me
and hold me tight
and dance
like it’s the last night of the world

Leaving Song

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006
by Caedmon’s Call
And everytime I think of you
I’ll remember all the goodtimes that we’ve had
And everytime I sing this tune
I will laugh, I will cry, I will close my eyes
Cause I know that it won’t be long

Until we sing, we will write
We will laugh away the night
And the good times will never end
When we meet again

And I’m gonna be somewhat lonely
cause you know no one could ever fill your shoes
As iron sharpens iron you have thought me how to be a stronger man
And I look forward to the day I learn again

We will sing, we will write
We will laugh away the night
And I know that it won’t be long
Until we meet again

Though I wish that I were with you now
I know there’s a reason for a space
I can dream of memories you’re writing down
And I look forward to that day
And the smile on your face

We will sing, we will write
We might cry and we might fight
And the good times will never end
We will laugh, we’ll relax, we’ll reflect on the years we’ve past
And I know that it won’t be long, until we meet again

i’ve been thinking about leaving and goodbyes recently. again. and i just remembered this song that i liked in college. it seemed to capture what i feel about goodbyes. well, some of them.                                                                                                                                                                                  kanina we were having fun at the lab with my classmates and i realized that i’ve gained new friends once again and that they’ve grown on me after two years of being together. and that i have learned to really them. and i didn’t even notice it. and that i am going to find graduation in two years extremely difficult. again. in first year, i seldom joined class activities or outings because i liked being by myself and whenever anybody asked me why i won’t go, i’d always answer that i was anti-social. this year however, let’s just say i’ve been more involved in the lives of my classmates than last year. and i’m having fun with them. my favorite classmate diose has pointed out that i am less anti-social this year…. oh no…

sem ender 1

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

we here in ivhome had our sem-ender at Afrique’s on Img_8728_1October 17, after leng and i had our last exams. it was also the despedida party of frozti  <==, who is going to transfer somewhere nearer her workplace. aww… sad… si nang jimjim na lng ang kcmate ko sa bahay ngayon… hay… we had our dinner on a tuesday this time kase mag-uuwian na ang lahat by  thursday so we wouldn’t be complete if we waited for it to come around pa.                                                          

anyway, we had pizza, pasta, and iced tea. yum! good food, good place, good conversation, good company.  and syempre, to make the night even more special, we all dressed up! para naman maiba ang itsura namin. bawal mag-shorts si ate ging (she did put up a good fight but we strong-armed her into dressing up din) and walang pwede mag-jeans. it was so much fun! Img_8738_2kaya lng, it was really stressful preparing for the dinner. hahaha! it took us (the girls) one and a half hours to get ready and look like we did that night. haaayyy….. pagod na pagod na si naldz kakapanood sa amin dance in front of the mirror putting gook on our faces.  good thing i’m not kikay or else i’d be doing what we did that night everyday! kakapagod! andaming make-up to choose from, sari-saring colors. i didn’t even know how to use them! and anong oras na lng ako gigising nun para mag-prepare for school diba!?! hay, hassle tlga. ang gastos pa pati. buti na lng tlga di ako naging kikay. ang laki ng tinipid nila nanay! hehe. but it was good dressing up that night. and mas masaya pa lalo kase we weren’t doing it for anybody but ourselves. =) sabi nga ni ate ging ang sarap magpaganda for your own pleasure and whim lang. hehe.

                                                                                                                           

my classmates saw me that night. eeeeppp!! nagdate kase sila sa place na kumain kami. hay nako. they have never seen me look like that before so mejo nagka-gulatan lang kami lahat. di nga ko nag-de-dress up for mednight e, tapos sa house dinner nila ko makikita naka-bihis. haha. i also went straight to my classmate’s house after dinner to make a video for our community work. at andami rin naming classmates ang andun! at lahat sila ay shocked to see me look like a proper girl. hahaha. hilarious. i was wearing make-up and they asked me what i did with my eyes. i answered them, ‘basta pumikit lng ako at pagdilat ko ganun na itsura ko.’ hay, si nang bjo ang make-up artist namin lahat that night. artihan kase. haha. pero syempre, the next day, back to the usual tint attire nanaman, of course. =)

ang gwapo nila housemates yanyan and naldz. hehe. mga nursing Img_8760boys na crush ng bayan. we always tease them about it and tell them na buti na lng mas bata sila sa amin. haha. nako, mas active pa ang mga love life nitong mga to kesa samin! good thing they don’t get self-conscious when around manangs like us.

now, what to do with three weeks of no school? unfortunately, i can’t make like a vegetable in my room the entire three weeks because we still have a research project to finish. and since i went trotting about thailand last summer, i get to be the lucky one to do some research this sembreak while my groupmates go home to their towns and provinces. haay… exchange exchange lang kami. so my mornings and afternoons are taken. least i still get to veg out at night. yey! thank God for times for rest!

storms

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006
there’s a certain calm after a storm. you suddenly find that all is well again. and though some things were badly changed by the rough winds and heavy rains that came, you find that there are still many things left standing. and you rejoice and you look at the rain-washed sky and find another beautiful day staring right back at you. and you wonder if the storm was real or just your imagination.                                                                                          
another calm happens before a storm. you feel a certain oppressiveness in the air and you know that something is waiting to come. there is a sense of something gathering momentum and sooner or later it is going to break. you cannot know when, but you know that it is coming. and soon. and before you have fully savored the calmness, you find the storm is upon you once more.                                                                                                       
Img_8370katatapos lng ng isang major stat/research exam ko kanina. sa monday, meron nanaman kaming module at block exam. haaaay…… sunod-sunod na bagyo. ano pa kaya ang matitira?
