We had our meeting with Dr. Maja this morning...and he talked about the changes that would be happening next semester. I could not believe that we're going to pick out our major:embedded systems, systems programming and networking...have to decide on what to major in..."what's it gonna be, jollibee?"hehehe if you could only hear GIZELLE say that line you'd be laughing yourself to death...we watched The Last Samurai and 10 thing I hate about you during 4 hours break. those are 2 good movies you should watch...movie addicts na gyud mi...as in...
by the way does someone have the lyrics for southborder's RAINBOW? nice gyud au na nga song...if haven't heard it you should look for the mp3 or any audio file...maka kilig to the bones...
we ate the famous fries again...bangka manuel kay finish naman ko yesterday...that was before we went home kanina...
happy au ko kay i have communication na with my cousins in the states. both from my mom's and dad's side of the family... and imagine, they all want me to go there and live with them...if it were that easy i'd be outta here in a heartbeat...
o mai, la na gyud ko talk about ako HT ha...

I like this song...mamemorize ba kaha ni nako?

When boys become a girl's best friend
By Pamela Angela Salomon Pastor


Inquirer News Service CONTRARY to the popular belief that men cannot have purely platonic relationships with women, today more and more females have found best friends in their male counterparts. Of course, even more women have gay best friends, but hey, that's a different ball game.

We all know that women outnumber men. So why can't women stick to tradition and just giggle with their girlfriends? Let me tell you why:

While most guys are terrible at being good boyfriends, they can actually be
great friends. Without the stress of jealousy, commitment, looming anniversaries and other dates that should-never-be-not-even-once forgotten, women and men can have pretty good relationships.

They're not afraid to get their hands dirty. While most women squeal when
being splattered with mud, men like rolling in it. They don't worry about ruining their manicure or getting dabbed with spaghetti sauce on their shirt. They're more relaxed, less conscious. That makes them more fun.

They don't spend too much time going on bathroom breaks.

They don't constantly complain that they're getting fat.

They think like guys. How else will you be able to dissect the head of that
guy you've been drooling for without your male best friend's analysis of the situation? How will you snag Mr. Perfect without his guidance? Your male best friend knows what and how guys think-he is one.

They give great advice. While women tend to be more flowery with words, men
tell it as it is (unless of course, they are in the middle of courtship or are trying to sweet talk girls into something). They jolt you back to reality.

You feel protected. Now I do not mean that women are weak, weak creatures. I
am a feminist myself. But it's nice to know that if someone starts beating you up, your male best friend will be there to help you cream them.

They act like big brothers. They warn you about no-good idiots who are after
you. But of course, they're actually all big babies, which brings us to the next reason:

You can mother them. Let's face it. Men - whether they're 16 or 60 - are kids.
It's a given fact.

They don't fall in love with guys. How many friendships have been ruined
because of pals going after the same guy? Countless. This will never happen between you and your male best friend-to each his own.

They're not afraid of calories. For most girls, pigging out is unheard of. Guys live for buffets and enjoy food more. That makes them great companions for eating out.

They don't like boybands. (Most of them, anyway.)

They're sweet.

They don't shriek or scream.

You can be yourself. Forget about crossing your legs and dabbing at your
little mouth with a napkin. You can relax and chill and do whatever you want. You can be a guy with them.

They don't get PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome)-ever.

They don' t talk about getting married-at least, not to you.

They're not too clingy.

They won't get mad when your phone is busy. Then again, in this day and age
when almost everyone has call-waiting, who does?

They share your love for computers and passion for the Internet.

You can talk about the NBA-and not just about how cute the players are.

They don't easily freak out. They can handle gory and morbid stuff. They don't
get terrified.

Their parents are not strict with them. Unlike most girls, they don't have
curfews and can do what they want when they want to. That means more time for you to hang out.

But, of course, like everything else in this world, having boy buds also has its
downside. Here are a few:

Their girlfriends get jealous of you. Admit it sometimes, us girls can be pretty unreasonable. Some females would not be 100% comfortable with the idea that you're hanging out with her guy a lot.

They forget you're a girl. They've been calling you "dude" for such a long
time that they've forgotten your gender. This is why you'd hear your guy friend say, "Whoa!" when he sees you all dressed and made up. This is why they think it's okay to salivate over other girls and comment on their bodies when you're around. This is the reason they tell disgusting jokes and expect you to laugh with them. Don't expect them to open doors for you and yes, don't expect them to carry your things. And unless you start wearing skirts to show off your legs, it will probably take a bump on their heads to remember you're a girl.

They can be pretty obnoxious. They can rattle off endless curse words for
minutes. They can tell sexist jokes and can be pretty sarcastic at times. But once you sharpen your tongue and prepare your own vocabulary of insults, you may just beat them at their own game.

Sometimes, they can take you for granted. You've been with them so long that
they expect you to hang around forever. If they blow off your plans because they suddenly got a date with some hot chick, they expect you to grin and bear it. If they ask you to befriend this girl they've got the hots for so they can get on her good side, they expect you to do it for them even if you hate her guts. Let's face it. Most men really need a dose of sensitivity.

You may end up as a girlfriend substitute. This happens a lot especially
with males who are afraid of commitment. You end up going to his prom or to his all-important office function as his date. He introduces you to his parents just to stop them from asking about his almost non-existent dating status. He finds security in your friendship and seeks comfort in your companionship. You become his ultimate excuse for not going out with other women.

&nb sp;You have to endure their burping contests. And when you tell them to say, "Excuse me," you get chided for being too prude.

They may scare away boys that you like. Having other boys around you all the
time may cause a hottie to think twice about asking you out especially if he's the type that scares easily. One, he may think that any of the guys are more than just a friend. Two, even if they are just your friends, he probably knows that if he screws up and hurts you, he's going to be in trouble. Then again, why should this bother you? If the potential boyfriend cannot even stand up and face your friends, how can you expect him to be strong when it is needed?

Your boyfriend can get jealous of them. In the same way that their girls do
not appreciate your presence, your guy might not like the idea of you hanging out with your close male buds. The male ego is a very, very sensitive thing. More so if the owner dotes on it. As bad as this sounds, sometimes, it boils down to a difficult choice-your boyfriend or your boy-friends?

They can dump you when their girlfriends get too jealous. Since you are
expected to always be the perfect and understanding friend, they don't think you're going to mind if they stop hanging out with you. "She doesn't understand why we have to go out and watch movies when I can do it with her." But you've got to understand the guy. He's probably pretty sick of hearing her whine, "Why
is she texting you again? Doesn't she have any other friends?" and "What! You're going out again? But you just went out with her last week!" And just in case that particular relationships ends, they expect to be able to pick up from where they left and resume the friendship like nothing happened. Yes, friends make sacrifices. Even hard ones.

They can fall in love with you. If I'd get a peso for every single time this
has happened in history, I can probably buy that Ford 150 now. Unless you feel the same way about your guy friend and you want the friendship to become more than just that, the situation may not be pretty. Either you forget about it and laugh about it when you get older or your friendship goes ka-put. Definitely not a good way to end things.

Or worst yet if you find yourself up falling in love with them Guess that's why for security sake, always keep a handful of girlfriends That way you have people to run to in case you lose your guy best friend

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EMMANUEL YAP!LOVE YOU EMANS!

LORD OF THE RINGS SQUARED!
Can you believe that I already spent almost 7 hours of my free time watching this movie with exactly the same people?
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT....
Watched it with Leslie, Canence, Ipay, Manuel, Jon, Philip, Stanley, Erik, Filden and Exun...The company was great and so is the movie... And you know whats funny, even after the movie we were still talking about it. got home so late that my mom gave me a little bit of lecture on watching the last full show.hehehe...anyway, at least I experienced watching that late with friends...thus my freedom is limited only to daytime leisure...that is if I'm not with my cousins...
OUTREACH AT PARIAN
I always had enjoyed kids... They are fun and they're a great way to test your patience, that is if you have a long one...After having games at parian, we went to sm. in the bus on the way to sm, they sung songs and they have gary to lead them. Gary, you really did a wonderful job at handling the kids. Anyway, we ate a huge lunch at majestic. And then after that we did some shopping with the kids. I really wished they were happy with what we bought them coz some were really hard headed and picked out more expensive item. Of course if I only had money to spare, i'd buy those but then, my pockets are empty and so we had to explain to them that they needed to pick another one. I realized how hard it is for a parent to deny their kids of what they like due to the fact that they cannot afford it. And to think I was once a kid...I think I still am...hehehe...anyway I had fun and I even made a connection with some of the kids... after we said goodbye to them, we(Ipay, Canence, Manuel and I) decided to watch LOTR3 again. And thanks to Mr. Legolas' explanations, I was able to fully understand the story. hehehe Manuel got his hair done same way as Legolas and just imagine the faces of those who were waiting in line at cinema 1. They were like "Hey its legolas!". I think Manuel was a bit embarrassed...Anyway after the movie we entered the realm of Toy Kingdom and roamed around a bit. Canence was looking at these dolls of 24 nations. It quite a collection. but she was disappointed not to find the Philippines in it.hehehe...cge lang nence, we'll make our own lang... then we ate before we went home... what a day...got home late again. good thing my mom didn't scold me again for getting home at almost 10... next week's gonna be tiring since we have to study for midterms...till then...

11.

no amount of words could ever deter
the feelings i have right now
i feel like crying
for joy that stuck around
i feel like singing
every song i ever knew
just to tell the whole world
how you took me out of the blue
my mind is spinning
over every memory of you
that i smile in my sleep
and let the sea of dreams flow
dreams of you and nothing else
coz that's the only way
that somehow i could show
how much you mean to me
and how much i'd like
to set these feelings free

i know most of the words and the thought of this short poem is awefully redundunt but hey i really don't care if people wouldn't like it coz this is how i feel right now. i couldn't begin to explain... im just plainly happy and contented with my life that even if problems arise, im can still afford to smile. (!_!)

Saturday, January 03, 2004

hey guys did you watch the last fireworks display last night? it was spectacular. although the rain kept on pouring, we stayed at the pagibig building. it feels so lonely not having to share it with someone special. it was such a cold night that you might really need someone to hold on to and hug. for me, i hugged toby, my youngest cousin. hehehe...anyway i wasn't able to sleep well coz like it was 2 am and my cousin was still talking on the cell phone to this guy. i tried not to listen to their conversation but she was right beside me. grrr....i was really sleepy but if ever i get to wake up in the middle of the night, i would find it hard to go back to sleep. i was too tired to log on the net...by the way, when we went to the dermatologist yesterday to get my cousin denise checked up, there was this lady who said she was a member of a prominent family here in cebu practically nagged her head of because her niece won't be entertained unless they'll be able to get a referral from a certain doctor. i understood her demise but she was just full of bull that she made the secretary cry. she acted as if she was all high and mighty. when would those people learn that no matter how much plastic surgery they undergo, it would always show in their personality that they are uneducated... i didn't want to get involve coz you know me, i won't be able to talk back, so i just kept my eyes on the magazine i was reading. well anyway we also brought our dog to the vet. the poor fella had a fever. he was injected with medicine four time... he's so cute.... i wish i could bring him to our house...but its my cousin molly's dog,given by her boyfriend. what else happened yesterday, well i guess that about covers it... have some resolutions but i'm still deciding of whether i'd be posting them...till then...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL....*mwaah**wink*

Tuesday, December 30, 2003

I’m trying to concentrate on making my lab reports but it seems that my mind drifts of to something or rather someone else. I finally finished the watching the entire “Bruce Almighty”! And his prayer at the end was really touching. It got me thinking, what if I wouldn’t pray to God the same way I always do. I mean I do pray for my HT’s good health and peace of mind but honestly deep inside I’d also pray for him to like me back… Pretty selfish don’t you think? But in the end I’d realize that it should be God’s will not mine that would be done. Somehow it really struck me when Bruce said “ I pray for her happiness no matter what it means!” Imagine that… Of course it doesn’t always follow that the one person you truly like or love’s happiness includes having known you… I know that I have nothing to complain about coz I’m practically blessed to have been his friend. Anyway I realized another thing today. While we were waiting for my cousin’s car to be repaired, I tried to amuse myself by listening to those mechanics’s conversation. While they were explaining to my cousin Denise her car’s problems, I got really interested. Although I honestly didn’t understand the importance of each part, I find fuddling over the different car parts really amusing. To start with, her car needed a fan belt so that it wouldn’t keep on over heating. Next she needed a compressor; that I have no idea what for. Anyway, I promised myself that someday, I’d study automation and well hopefully assemble my very own car. I think that would be possible coz my other cousin in L.A. Paul Young assembled his own sports car. Kinda strange for a girl to be so interested in those stuff, right? Well each one of us has his/her own eccentricity. And that’s what makes life more interesting…. By the way, here’s an article I found in my laptop, I think my brother saved it here. Enjoy reading and your comments and suggestions or violent reactions would be very much appreciated.

LISTEN FOR LOVE
There are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we feel. For fear of embarrassing the other person, or ourselves, we hesitate to say the actual words "I love you." So we try to communicate the idea in other words.
We say 'take care' or 'don't drive too fast' or 'be good.' But really, these are just other ways of saying 'I love you,' 'you are important to me,' 'I care what happens to you,' 'I don't want you to get hurt.'
We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we want to say, and the one thing that we should say, is the one thing we don't say. And yet, because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so strong, we are driven to use other words and signs to say what we really mean. And many times the meaning never gets communicated at all and the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted.
Therefore, we have to LISTEN FOR LOVE in the words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the explicit words are necessary, but more often, the manner of saying things is even more important. A joyous insult carries more affection and love within the sentiments, which are expressed insincerely.
An impulsive hug says I LOVE YOU even though the words might be saying very different. Any _expression of a person's concern for another says I love you. Sometimes the _expression is clumsy, sometimes even cruel. Sometimes we must look and listen very intently for the love that contains. But it is often there, beneath the surface.
A mother may nag her son constantly about his grades or cleaning his room. The son may hear only the nagging, but if he listens carefully, he will hear the love underneath the nagging. His mother wants him to do well, to be successful. Her concern and love for her son unfortunately emerge in her nagging. But it is love all the same.
A daughter comes home late, way past her curfew, and her father confronts her with angry words. The daughter may hear only the anger, but if she listens carefully, she will hear the love under the anger. "I was worried about you," the father is saying. 'Because I care about you and I love you. You are important to me.'
We say I love you in many ways - with birthday gifts, and little notes, with smiles and sometimes with tears. Sometimes we show our love by just keeping quiet and not saying a word, at other times by speaking out, even brusquely.
We show our love sometimes by impulsiveness. Many times we have to show our love by forgiving someone who has not listened to the love we have tried to express. The problem is listening for love is that we don't always understand the language of love, which the other person is using. A girl may use tears or emotions to say what she wants to say, and her boyfriend may not understand her because he expects her to be talking his language. Thus, we have to force ourselves to really listen for love. The problem with our world is that people rarely listen to each other. They hear the words, but they don't listen to the actions that accompany the words or the _expression on the face. Or people listen only for rejection or misunderstanding. They do not see the love that is there just beneath the surface, even if the words are angry. We have to listen for love in those around us. If we listen intently we will discover that we are a lot more loved than we realize. Listen for love and we will find that the world is a very loving place after all. LOVE is a happy thing.
It makes us laugh.
It makes us sing.
It makes us sad.
It makes us cry.
It makes us seek the reason why.
It makes us take.
It makes us give.
Above all else it makes us LIVE.
It is not the presence or absence of people that makes the difference because a person need not be lonely even if he is alone. Sometimes it is good to be alone. But that does not make us lonely. It is not a matter of being present WITH someone. It is a matter of being present to someone. So remember... If you love someone, tell him or her. Remember always to say what you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell someone what he or she means to you. Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today and are what it's all about anyway.

This is for my HT...eventhough he doesn't have a clue that I'm completely crazy about him...well at least we are friends and there's always something to look forward to everyday...*mwaah*

Artist: Mariah Carey
Album: Merry Christmas
Title: All I Want For Christmas Is You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You...

All I want for Christmas is you baby... (repeat)

I just finished cleaning my room. Gosh can't believe I've enough parties to attend to... Last Friday, we had our batch party. I was really tired coz we, Canence, Tonet, Leslie and I were incharge with the games, prizes and awards which by the way was not finished. The award for the crush ng bayan, both male and female as well as the mr.suave was not given out. I don't know why the people were bored. I mean maybe it was because of the weather. The sky couldn't have poured enough rain. But the after party was great. The people who got left behind(Florence, Edgar, Soekarno, Freedom, Feona, Marvin, Jay, Harvey, Leslie, Manuel, Roderick, Pates, Gary, Stanley, Canence and a lot more....) We kept on singing and dancing. Everyone was taking turns in holding the mic. We officially ended the party at around 12 coz the place was to close down. I arrived at my aunt's house at around 12:50 am. hehehe I'm no cinderalla anymore. Anyway, I wonder if we'll go caroling again coz I want still to get out of the house and go somewhere with friends and my... hehehe... never mind. I'm in enough trouble already. Cge guys till then...

Your soul is bound to the Rose Bud: The
Naive.

"I keep all of my secrets somewhere inside
and though I haven't let myself shine to the
world, I'm good for something but too good to
give to you."


The Rose Bud is associated with innocence,
curiosity, and confidence. It is governed by
the god Cupid and its sign is The Dewdrop, or
Puppy Love.

As a Rose Bud, you may have grand ideas about love
and you may well be inexperienced. You tend to
be optomistic, idealistic, and curious, but
it's just because you like being a positive
person. You also may have high thoughts of
yourself, and can come off a bit conceited, but
it's just a mask to hide your lack of
experience.


What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To?

Its 1 pm in the afternoon and I am so sleepy. I have this terrible cold and I have to drink medicine. Since I ran out of no-drowse Decolgen, I drank the other one. And so now here I am, feeling so dizzy facing my laptop. Anyway, this is supposed to be my second blog for the day but then I got disconnected and the one I have typed this morning was deleted…

Klave, its not that I’m protecting your gender or something but I know deep inside you are not gay. I mean, your actions are totally different from those who are gay. Anyway, Canence you really have a point about guys being so attached to their feminine side. I know lots of them but then it doesn’t bother me anymore because I like it when guys be like that rather than acting all macho around us girls. I like it especially when we could openly say what ever we want, even if its girl-talk because our guy friends don’t mind. You know nence, we are lucky because most of our guy friends are like that...

by the way, here's an email sent to me by Kittin. I really like it... To all the guys who keeps asking the same question all over again, here's our answer...

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman. he was pursuing he question "What kind of man are you looking for?"

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking "Do you really want to know?" Reluctantly, he said "Yes."


She began to expound..." As a woman in this day and age, I am in position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household with out the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask "What can you bring to the table?"


The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated "I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.



She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple minded man. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked...believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.



I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman but strong enough to keep me grounded.



I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a help mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."


When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said "You are asking a lot."

She replied "I'm worth a lot."

Just arrived home from our Christmas carol practice… It was a bit frustrating since there were only 4 of us girls and well, we kept on laughing and the guys most especially Manuel kept on making jokes. Anyway, by the end of the practice, we were hopeful because at least somehow we did improve, as a group that is. Anyway, Deanne??? Where did you go? Why man wala mo ni apas???

My head is throbbing a bit… Lack of sleep maybe…

I wanna share this article with you. Got this from the Philippine Daily Inquirer dated November 9, 2003


By: Ramon J. Farolan

Once upon a time in the kingdom of heaven, God was missing for six days. Michael the Archangel found Him on the seventh day, resting. He inquired of God, “Where have You been?” God with a deep sigh of satisfaction and pride pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look, Michael, look what I have made.”
The Archangel looked puzzled and said, “What is it?” “It’s a planet,” replied God, “and I’ve put life in it. I’m going to call it Earth, and it’s going to e a great place of balance.”
“Balance?” inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of the Earth. “Northern Europe will be a great place of opportunity and wealth, but cold and harsh. Southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant. I’ve made lands abundant in water and while others are parched deserts. This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered with ice.”
Michael, impressed by God’s work, then pointing to a group of islands and asked, “What are these?
“Ah,” said God, “Those are the Philippine islands, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The people are going to be handsome, intelligent and humorous. They are going to be found traveling all over the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as bearers of peace and love.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, “What about balance, Lord? You said there would be balance.”
And the Lord replied, “Wait until you see the idiots I put in the government.”

This article really is amusing. Sad but true…

Anyway, I have to say, this is day is one of the most amazing days I have lived. I mean the weather was perfect. I kept on laughing and well I was able to sing with my friends…

By the way, during our REED 40 class, one of my classmates happened to question our teacher:

If God wants only the good things to happen, then why does He allow people to experience pain?

For me, God didn’t just place us in a situation so that we would suffer. He gave us lots of choices, both advantageous and disadvantageous on our part. As far as I’m concerned, most choices are like this. Anyway, suffering is like the effect of a bad choice. And one of my classmates said that how could we learn if we haven’t experienced it. How would we feel happy if we haven’t experience pain? One cannot exist without the other.

What about you, what’s your opinion on this? Tag me…

SHED OF LIGHT

I really don’t know if I should be relieved or I should dread even more the days to come… John answered my questions profoundly and well it did help me ease out most of my confusion on my HT. And I must admit that I do value friendship more than passion as what Gelie tagged. But the thing is Gel, I have been doing that for quite some time. Maybe that is the reason why up to now I am still single because most of my past HT became my close friends and I don’t want to go beyond friendship fearing that I might break the bond between us. My cousin Tsai told me that its about time to be honest with my self and face my demons, my true feelings that is. Its just that I’m not the type of person to risk friendship just to suffice my loneliness. Why am I experiencing this right now? *sigh* I’ve always preferred liking friends rather than falling for a complete stranger but now, it seems harder as you get to know your friend/HT more. And what’s worse is that we get along so well and we have lots of things in common. Honestly, when we hang out, I always remind myself of the big word: FRIEND. He is my friend and there is a big chance that he’ll stay that way forever. Once again, REALITY BITES!

From John’s blog:

Van, I think he (whoever your HT is) knows that you like him. Some guys love to assume that and most of the time they are confident about it lalo na if they have tested you and na-buking ka. You haven't told me who that person is, so mahirap i-analyze ang intentions nya and how his mindframe is. To be safe, so that I don't judge anyone here, my analysis is that he's not ready yet for such things. Most likely he has someone special other than you. But then again that someone could be YOU. I don't know, but it's a possibility. Maybe hindi pa naging "kayo" kasi wala pang "spark" on his side. Tinatamad lang siya siguro or maybe he knows that since you like him, you'll always be there... so parang spare tire ka na rin. You won't like that to happen.

Well John, I have accepted that maybe I’m just not his type of girl or that he only sees me as a friend. The only consolation to this is that, if he happens to notice that I like him, at least he didn’t take advantage of me liking him. It just goes to show that I have met a TRUE friend in him. As of him having someone special, well I have to investigate more on that…hehehe… As of now, the only thing that runs through his mind is his vice… What vice? Well I still can’t elaborate on that…

Anyway, guys I’m really sorry if this is boring you. I just need to get these thing out of my system because its killing me not to be able to let this emotions and confusion out. Pasensya na if it doesn’t interest you… Cge lang, I’ll think of other stuff… INTERESTING STUFF…


Thursday, November 20, 2003

How should I describe what I’m feeling right now if I myself don’t understand it? It would take me forever to analyze all the things that are happening and the implications of the events that took place in my life. Confusing isn’t it? Anyway, we’ve met most of our teachers except for our ECE 321 lab; which would still be tomorrow. Actually, I have an oral exam in my English 3 tomorrow. Wondering why I’m still taking up speech wherein my batch mates are already taking up English 23? I was left behind because of the new enrollment system implemented during the first semester of our second year. Its frightening at the same time exciting coz, I get to meet a whole different group people, mostly Fine Arts and Architecture students. And believe it or not, got a class at TEC. Our ReEd 40 got dissolved that’s why we had to move to another schedule and I ended up choosing a class there. It still has its advantages because the south campus is just a stone’s throw away from our house. I don’t have to wake up early during TTh.

On my distinctively colorful lovelife…as if I have one…

I’ve always wondered whether my HT has feelings… Let me just elaborate on that… I know that guys can be totally dense and extremely passive but do they ever feel the closeness between two people? Or are we girls always over analyzing things? But is it too assuming to just wonder what those actions mean to a person? Sometimes, I think that he is insensitive when it comes to things like, “kilig” moments. I don’t know… This stuff makes want to laugh at the same time cry all day…

Got some questions for all of you…

If someone lets just say, a person who doesn’t know that you have a thing for your HT, teases you in front of him or her, what would you do? What would your reaction be??

If your HT becomes your close friend over a period of time, would you be pleased or would you hate the idea of you being his/her buddy?


If you showed him/her that you truly care for him/her and he/she still ends up being totally clueless of how you feel what would you do???

Please tag me for your answers or you can email me at vanelin13v@yahoo.com

Happy Birthday to Jamerson Palanca!!!

Wow got lost for like 8 days and then there’s the flooding of the tagboard again… I love that…hehehe Anyway, guys; Deanne and Lupin, I wish I were a very good joker or something so that my blogs wouldn’t be too serious but I’m just me. Sometimes serious but most the time I’m just the type to laugh at jokes not make them. Don’t worry, I’ll try to place something here that would amuse you…

My brother sent me this through friendster...It might come in handy somday...

There are 12 months a year...30 days a month...7
days a week...24 hours a day...60 minutes an
hour...but only one like you in a lifetime.

There are two reasons why I wake up in the
morning: my alarm clock and you.

Great minds contain ideas, solutions and reasons;
scientific minds contain formulas, theories and
figures; my mind contains only you!

Love can be expressed in many ways. One way I
know is to send it across the distance to the
person who is reading this.

If I could change the alphabet, I would put U and
I together!

Minsan caring is better than loving. Minsan tea
is better than coffee. Minsan smile is better
than laughter. Pero nobody is better than you.

There is night so we can appreciate day, sorrow
so we can appreciate joy, evil so we can
appreciate good, you so I can appreciate love.

You look great today. How did I know? Because you
look great everyday.

What is love? Those who don't like it call it
responsibility. Those who play with it call it a
game. Those who don't have it call it a dream.
Those who understand it call it destiny. And me,
I call it you.

What is love? It is what makes your cell phone
ring every time I send text messages.

If love can be avoided by simply closing our
eyes, then I wouldn't blink at all for I don't
want to let a second pass having fallen out of
love with you.

I used to think that dreams do not come true, but
this quickly changed the moment I laid my eyes on
you.

Press down if you miss me. Talaga? Sweet mo
naman. You really miss me huh? Still pressing
down. Impressed na ako, ha? Sobrang miss na yan.
Well, I miss you too.

Some people were born with talents. They can do
beautiful things with their skills, knowledge and
technology. But no one is as talented as you. You
just come near, and there is already beauty.

A lady is a woman who makes a man behave like a
gentleman. You're such a lady to me.

To forget you is hard to do and to forget me is
up to you. Forget me not, forget me never. Forget
this text, but not the sender.

When situation gets you down, remember there's
Someone in Heaven who loves you and watches over
you and there's someone on Earth who cares… I do.

Cell phones can be irritating sometimes. You
always have to reload, recharge every now and
then. Messages are delayed. But there's one thing
I love about it. It connects me to you!

Words begin with ABC. Numbers begin with 123.
Music begins with do, re, mi. And friendship
begins with you and me!

Rain and sunshine do not always come together.
Night and day never coincide. But you and I,
whatever they say, is for me the perfect match.
When I dream, I dream of you...maybe one day,
dreams will come true.

There is an ocean between us. Forests and
mountains keep us apart. I may not be superman,
but give me a second and I will fly across
countries to send you my love. Have you received
it?

If, out of time, I could pick one moment and keep
it shining, always new, of all the days that I
have lived, I'd pick the moment I met you.

I'm on a mission to get over you, in other words
mission impossible.

I wish I'd be a tear in your eye to roll down
your cheek and end up with your lips but I never
wish you'd be a tear in my eye for I would lose
you every time I cry.

When it rains, you don't see the sun, but it's
there. Hope we can be like that. We don't always
see each other, but we will always be there for
one another.

I may run out of message to text you. I may run
out of jokes too. I may also run out of battery
or even a peso… but my heart won't run out of
space for you!

You'll know that you miss someone very much when
every time you think of that person, your heart
breaks into pieces and just a quick "Hello" from
that person can bring the broken pieces back.

Love. All my life I have read about it, dreamt of
it, waited for it, cried for it, needed it. Now
with you, I have found it.

Sherlock Holmes was an idiot and Robert Watt was
a fool. One was a detective, the other invented
radar. But neither of them ever discovered you.
I'm a genius!

When the time comes I can't smile anymore, don't
worry about me, I know what to do. I'll just
stare at one corner and think of you. No one else
could make me happy like the way you do.

There's a love that only you can give, a smile
that only your lips can show, a twinkle that can
only be seen in your eyes, and a life of mine
that you alone can complete.

Everyone wants to be the sun that lights up your
life. But I'd rather be your moon, so I can shine
on you during your darkest hour when your sun
isn't around.

Ah-- I forgot your name. Can I call you mine?
And, in case you forget my name too, call me
yours!

If I had the letters "HRT", I can add "EA" to get
a "HEART" or a "U" and get "HURT". But I'd rather
choose "U" and get "HURT" than have a "HEART"
without "U".

You may never see how much I care for you. You
may never hear how much I treasure you. You may
never feel how much I miss you. Coz only here in
my heart can you see them true.

There are 4 steps to happiness: 1. you, 2. me, 3.
our hearts, 4. together!

If kisses were water, I'd give you the ocean. If
hugs were leaves, I'd give you a forest. If love
were space, I'd give you a galaxy. If friendship
were life, I'd give you mine for free.

It's hard to say hello because it might be
goodbye. It's hard to say I'm okay because
sometimes I'm not. But it's easy to say I miss
you coz I know that I really do.

It's hard for two people to love each other when
they live in two different worlds. But when these
two worlds collide and become one, that's what
you call you and I.

If you're feeling lonely and you think there is
nobody there to love, support, listen or show
they care, just save this message and every time
you realize it, it will remind you that a part of
me is always there with you.

Roses are red, violets are blue. I am waiting to
hear from a cute guy like you.

They say that as long as there is one person
loving you, life isn't a waste. So if you lose
hope and thought that life is not worth living,
just remember I'm here.

Do you know that men and women are angels created
with only one wing? And they need to embrace each
other to be able to fly... Hope you can find your
angel whom you can fly with forever.

They told me I could do anything if I put my mind
into it. Yet no matter how hard I try in all that
I do, I just can't take my mind off you.

My biggest reward is to see you smile, know you
are happy, and feel you are loved. I know life is
sometimes cruel, but that's why I'm here, to show
you that life can be good when somebody cares.

I always think of you, but I always fail to know
the reason why. Is there something else I should
know about you? But there is one thing that I
know is true. That life will always be sad
without you.

Hatred infects the mind; love dissolves it. You
dissolve my mind.

Don't say you love me unless you really mean it
cause I might do something crazy like believe it.

I'm afraid to close my eyes coz I might think of
you. I'm afraid to open them coz I might see you.
I'm afraid to move my lips coz I might speak of
you. I'm afraid to listen coz I might hear my
heart fall for you.

I'm sorry to be smiling every time you're near.
I'm sorry my eyes twinkle whenever you're here.
I'm sorry that cupid has made his hit. I'm sorry
I love you, I can't help it.

Caring for someone is easy but making someone
care for you is hard. Now I keep wondering how
did you make it so easy for me to care for you.

Text me when you are sad, text me when you need
someone to listen to and you can't find anyone
who will. I don't care if I'm your last option, I
just don't want you to cry alone.

I don't want to say I miss you, though deep
inside I do, coz I'm afraid you might see thru
and know how much fear I have of losing someone
like you.

If love can be avoided simply by closing our
eyes, I wouldn't blink at all for I don't want to
let a second pass having fallen out of love with
you.

I wish one day you will miss me terribly that no
matter how hard you look for me, you won't find
me. Why? Because, I want you to miss me the way
I'm missing you right now.

If I could be any letter in the alphabet, I'd
choose "V" so I can be next to "U"; if you could
be any note, I wish you're "RE" so your always
beside "ME"!

Whatever you do, I'll walk with you. Hoping that
your every dream would come true. Anytime,
anywhere, I'll always be there. Wishing you love
and happiness because I care.

The spaces between our fingers were created so
that another person's fingers could fill them in.
Hope you'll find your dream hand to hold you
forever.

Every part of me wants you, maybe because I was
made just for you!

When you love someone, draw a circle around their
name instead of a heart coz hearts can be broken
but circles never end.

Nobody tells fish to swim, birds to fly, cows to
moo, dogs to bark - they just do. Just like
nobody tells me to remember you. I just do!

If you were a wound inside my heart, I'd rather
leave it there with all the pain locked inside
than leave it without a trace of you.

Whenever you feel blue, I will be there for you.
Whenever you are sad, I will stay by your side.
Whenever you need someone to love, I will always
be there for you to have.

They can recycle paper till it's as good as new,
reproduce cans and jars and old bottles too, but
they can never recycle another person as
wonderful as you.

I hate when you smile at me because you make me
crazy about you. I hate when you talk to me
because you make me run out of words. I hate you
when I see you because you make me love you more.

What good is beauty without brains, looks without
charm, money without happiness, a smile without
feelings, a life without you?

To be disturbed by the beep of your phone only
means that somehow, somewhere, somebody is
thinking of you and at this very moment, that's
me. Take care always.

A person you love is an extension of yourself.
Without it, you're not complete so better take
care of yourself because I don't want to lose a
part of me.

I wish my eyes could speak what my heart feels
for you, coz my lips can lie on what is true. My
eyes couldn't coz even if I close them I could
still see you.

Every time I hear my text tone, I always hope one
of them is from you. My cell phone may have
limited memory space but my heart has unlimited
space for someone like you.

I have you! If you hate me, shoot me with an
arrow, but please not on the heart coz that's
were you are!

Someone asked what makes people happy. Some said
wealth and some said fame. I was thinking about
this when my cell phone beeped and received a
text from you. Then, I smiled and said: "This
makes me happy."

You're like a target that I always try to aim at.
How I wish I could aim you at the heart. But
every time I fail, I feel so sad. You know why?
It's because I always end up missing you.

It was a simple crush, done and over with, then
you looked at me.

Love is something special, a treasure I want to
find... To others, love is blind but for me, its
not true, coz when I fell in love...I saw you.

I'll lend you my shoulder for you to cry on, my
ears to listen to, my hand for you to hold, my
feet to walk with you, but I can't lend you my
heart coz it already belongs to you.

Why do birds fall from the sky every time you
walk by? Maybe because like me they want to be
near you!

If I get takot, would you hawak me tight? If I
gawa something mali, would you make it right? If
I build an apoy, would you bantay the flame? If I
sabi I miss u, would you ramdam the same?

Do you take me to be your lawfully wedded text
mate, in sickness or in health, through metering
or not, till low bat do us part?

Someone once asked me, "Have you ever fallen in
love?" Then I answered, "Of course, once." Then
they asked me another question: "Did it hurt?" I
thought of you and told them "Yes, very much".

You must be a thief coz you stole my heart. You
must be tired coz you're always running through
my mind. And maybe I'm a bad shooter coz I keep
missing you.

I asked God for a rose and He gave me a garden. I
asked God for a drop of water and He gave me an
ocean. I asked God for an angel and He gave me
you!

I have heard from the phone company, the water
company, the electric company, but haven't heard
from you. Too bad, it's your company I love the
most.

If someone would ask me what a beautiful life
means, I would lean my head on your shoulder and
hold you close to me and answer with a
smile: "Like this!"

If only one star would fall every time I miss
you, then all the stars in heaven would be gone.
Don't wonder if there are no stars tonight! It's
your fault coz you made me miss you a lot.

Life may sometimes be a rough road to walk on
where everything seems wrong. But don't give up.
Just go on coz when you think you're all alone,
look back and you'll find me walking along.

They say as long as at least one person cares for
you, life isn't a waste. So when things go
terribly wrong, and you feel like giving up,
please remember you still got me.

True love is hard to find, special one, one of a
kind. I know because it appeared to me on a
strange day I met you.

I've been wondering why you're not texting...
Multiple Choice: a. busy b. dedma c. tired d.
thrifty e. want me to miss you.

While you gave her flowers, you gave me thorns.
While all she did was smile, all I did is mourn.
While she was so happy, I felt so blue. Because
while you loved her, I was loving you.

An angel asked me a reason why I care for you so
much. I told her I care for you so much coz…
there's no reason not to.

First time I saw you, I was scared to touch you.
First time I touched you, I was scared to kiss
you. First time I kissed you, I was scared to
love you. But now that I love you, I'm scared to
lose you!

If love is a disease then I'm very ill. But I
would not want medicine and won't take any pill.
I would instead suffer this illness and be
bedridden with joy of knowing you.

I will walk with you side by side for only one
condition: hide your wings every time we walk
together because the whole world might know that
you're my angel!

Each of us is an angel with one wing. The only
way we could fly is to hold each other and share
wings. So if you have trouble flying, I will
always share mine with you.

I used to think that the world is so unfair, that
it gave me so many reasons to hate it. But now,
how can I hate such a wonderful world that gave
me you?

Can I say I love you today? If not, can I ask you
again tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? And
the day after that? Coz I'll be loving you every
single day of my life.

A day may start or end without a message from me,
but believe me it won't start or end without me
thinking of you…..See! I just did. Take care.

You greeted me hi, I didn't reply. You gave me a
sweet smile, I responded with a sigh. You showed
me your love, you received a shrug. But when you
bid goodbye I began to cry.

Wow didn't expect that my day would be such a mixture of fun, excitement and boredom... For the last time I'm gonna say that its really tiring to go to school and end up having no class coz its either the teachers decided to ditch their classes or the room is currently unavailable...Anyway, sometimes we ran out of things to talk about and thanks to the cool weather we, Maia, Ipay(ay Gizelle), Leslie and I felt really sleepy as if being put to a trance of some kind... And then JR arrived at the canteen followed by Benny Boo Boo and Manuel. I could not laugh enough... At the end of the day, we had no class in our Come 321 lecture coz our classroom is still being renovated...

Anyway, as for my HT, well I kinda asked Leslie if I was that obvious and she said that she thinks I care too much because what concerns me somehow concerns him also... I wish I could elaborate but I'd rather not... hehehe... To those who know, what do you think???

Till then....

To much HT...I'm gonna sing this to him one of these days...

Title: Why Can't I?

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be

Holding hands with you, and we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too

This is, this is just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too

It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful

Here we are, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet, but > heads spinning

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

I'd love for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
I'd love for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
for this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Hey guys, I'm so glad that at least you showed that you do care coz my depression caused a stir on the readers. Its just there are times when you think you can just hold your head up and pretend everything's alright and then end up getting hurt really bad. Sometimes, not people but events hurt you... but don't worry coz I'm okay and well it just takes me a day to settle my issues... I wish I could tell you everything but some things are better left unsaid. Yesterday, Ipay asked me,"If you're claiming that you're depressed, how come you have a huge smile on your face???". Well I have probably accepted the facts... Anyway, my frustration was compensated yesterday... Gosh I'd kill myself for this but I can't help it... HAPPY, SHALALALA! ITS SO NICE TO BE HAPPY...hehehe...See how moody I could be...hehehe....
To Emans:
We'll talk next week...
To Kim:
I'm looking forward to Tuesday's date...hehehe
To Leslie:
I wish we did jog today...Maybe next time.... I loved the coffee...makaaddict..
To everyone else:

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around" - LEO BUSCAGLIA

I know I told manny that I didn't like this song so much but then when I listened to the lyrics, I think this is just what I need...Enjoy singing...

Title: Breathe


I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
Said I've been driving crazy
Cause its keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
Cause I dont wanna waste another moment
Saying things we were never meant to say

And I
Take it just a little bit
I..
Hold my breath and count to ten
I..
I've been waiting for a chance to let you in

If I just breathe
How do you fill the space in between?
Oh no, everything is alright
Breathe
Everything little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe

Well it's ours, so overrated
Not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wonder in which way

And I...
Give you just a little time
I...
Wonder if you realize
I...
I've been waiting till I see it in your eyes

If I just breathe
How do you fill the space between
Oh no, everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
Breathe

So I whisper and I'm,
Hoping you hear me
Do you hear me?

If I just breathe
How do you fill the space between
Oh no, everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright

We anticipated that we have no REED 40 class today and Engr. Barangan told us yesterday that we still won't be having our laboratory today so here I am stuck at home...But I did lots of things and kept myself busy for the rest of the morning... Anyway, I was supposed to go with Jon, Philip and I don't know who else to watch Matrix: Reloaded... But then I changed my mind and I figured it would be better to watch next week... For your info, my class ends at 1:30 every TTH.... hehehe.... Anyway, I think I like Yuna better than Avril's picture... And John, I wrote this one last night... I guess I was just depressed... I can't tell you why though... its too personal... I'm planning to make it into a song...

TRAPPED
I'm feeling so blue
Don't know about you
But my heart is in pain
tears falling like rain
cant think straight
the world rotates
but Im still stuck here
in the clear
Why does it hurt to care
for someone who doesn't
why is it so tiring
to think of you 24/7
why does it seem
that my world revolves
around the very person
who finds no reason
to think of me
the way I'm thinking of him
Is it too much to ask
for someone to love
who loves you back
the same way
would it be too hard to try
to look me in the eye
and hear from you the truth
of what you're feeling inside
Haven't you had enough pretending
haven't you realized that its sending
the wrong impression on me
so do set me free
why does it hurt to love
and end up being such a fool
why does my heart keep trying
to act like everything's cool
why do I go insane
over the thought of you
I'm sick of being paranoid
believing that you knew...


I think this is crazy...I wonder how I could cope up with this feeling the rest of the semester...

when harry met sally
Everyone remembers the 'faked-orgasm-in-a-deli'
sequence from your kind of movie When Harry Met
Sally. It seems that you're falling for a buddy
or have already fallen for them. Uh-oh. You're
probably caught between the possibility of
having a great relationship and wrecking the
one you have now. You know what they say, it's
better to regret something you did than
something you didn't do.

We have no classes today...Well we assumed that the teachers won't be coming in till
Wednesday so we went home early...I'm still browsing the net for guitar tabs...hehehe...Anyway the party was great...had lots of fun until 12 coz they started talking about creepy stuff and well there are times when I don't enjoy the stories...Who's ghadin???
