*tear*

My dad emailed me this.

"anak, am sure you know that we are having some financial difficulties at present and that you understand the situation. weĆ¢€™re now living on a tight budget and have loans left and right. i can no longer afford additional expenses like your cell phone bills and other miscellaneous expenses. your monthly subscription of php300.00 is fine with me but beyond that it's your responsibility. try to be more prudent in your expenses anak. this is only temporary and we still have to adjust to the situation. it is not as bad as it seems. i know you take these things deep in you but please anak, DON'T. as i mentioned earlier, this is only temporary. please understand. i love you. tatay

btw, i have requested equitable credit card to defer all transactions with sun cellular. this means we have to pay your cell phone bill over the counter."


God, ang luho ko talaga, ever.

I was at St. Paul kanina. Intrams nila e. Met up with Kam, Dean and Kariz. I finally met the ever-famous Kariz Lanting. She's Dean's friend. Hehehe. So anyway, we watched a couple of games and talked. Hehehe. I think Kariz and I clicked. I can just feel it. Hahaha. Guess who's birthday it is today. Dagflammit, I had the guts to actually approach her and greet her a happy birthday despite all the things she said before (Note: It was HER who said "Hindi naman ganyan itsura niyan sa personal e". Read my previous entries to find out). While watching the pep squad practice, Kam and I pulled a very dangerous prank on a couple of friends. Hahaha. Alam mo yun? Yung tipong baka magsaksakan sila dahil sa ginawa namin. But it was fun, though, we gotta admit. Even Kariz enjoyed our little prank. Hahaha. Sadista. Rode Mang Solito's bus on the way home. Shux. I missed riding our schoolbus. I miss bullying the kids. Hahaha.

Shets. I wish I could be there on Friday. Dun magpe-perform yung SPCP hardcourt. Hrmmm.

I was on an emotional roller coaster the whole month.

October 11

LEAP was hella fun. Well, I din't know anybody in my class (STREET4) but I definitely enjoyed it. One, well, because I can watch the Pep Squad from the SPS Rehearsal Hall. Hahaha. Sayang I din't enroll there. Two, because the routine taught to the class was really fun to dance. The song we danced to was More To Life by Stacie Orrico. Twas fun but really tiring.

October 12

Jopet and I entered our 2nd year and 9th month. Grawr. I love you so much, Baby. I miss you hella lot, too. Hindi pa ulit tayo nagkikita, I need to see you, Baby. I love you.

Went to Manila to get shots for our scrapbook in Kaspil. It was really tiring but we got 3/4 of the job done. And we had fun, too. Kilig si Malia and si Cuyeg. To those who know them, alam kong nawe-weirdan kayo pero it's all for the project. Pero mukhang nagkakadevelopan na ata sila. Hahaha. Peace out, guys!

SALIKSIK.

I think that I really got something from that recollection. I went to other recollections/retreats before this and got something from them. Pero parang ang laki ng impact sakin nitong recollection na 'to. Para bang dito ko lang nakita yung totoong nararamdaman ng mga tao.

There's this game that Sir Ric actually wanted us to play. We had to "cross" a "bridge" to get to the "safe place". The people who stepped out of the "bridge" or the line "dies". The "dead" will not be able to do anything. Sir Ric holds all the elements of the game. Time, space, everything. Objective was to get EVERYONE to the safe place. Basta. The mechanics were quite hard. It was to test our unity as a block. At first, we "crossed" the "bridge". Some of us "died" but some were safe. But then, we realized that we cannot save the dead so we decided to go back and "die" with everyone else. We obviously lost but we rather be "dead" with everyone than be in the safe place tas merong namatay. Everyone started crying not because we are really going to die but rather, the realization struck: we love our block. There is no denying that.

Plastic. That was what I think one of the things that really affected me. Everyone got affected. I see that spitting it out to everybody is not an easy task but it should've been said in a nicer way. Everyone got shocked. Everyone has something to say. Ewan.

**The pics will be posted at http://aleigna12.multiply.com. I just don't know when I'll have the time to post them.

October 14

Nothing much happened in school. Well, except for Sir Delupio planning to fail everyone in the graded recitation

Met up with Dean and Kam at Starbucks sa Mega. And si Dean, may ginawang alam niyang ikakagalit ko pag nakita ko. So anyway, lakad, bonding and kwentuhan about anything under the sun. The old times. Grawr. So anyway, Kam had to go home early so Dean and I went looking for a place to eat in. Since there was a sale in Mega that time, we ended up looking for a place to eat in Shang. Ate at Tokyo Tokyo. Dean had to go home after so we went back to Mega and I accompanied her to the FX station. Kwentuhan muna while waiting for the FX. "A walk down memory lane" Hahaha. I waited for my mom for three hours after that. Hahaha.

October 15

We planned a surprise for Jaja. It was held at Lelie's flat near Robinson's Manila. It was hella fun. Jaja was speechless when we gave her the surprise. There was even a video presentation for her that Les cam up with a couple of hours before the surprise itself. The cake was hella good and we gave her a new wallet 'cause she lost hers. So anyway, everyone of us, except Lau, started panicking on how we'll get her gift. She was with us all along. But then, we came up with something and eventually, we got her her gift.

After all that, we went back to school to attend the PNPRS lectures for our Philosophy class. The talk was bitchin' boring. But , in the end, when one of the people in the audience (a professor from the University of Illinois) was talking, we started to - honestly - enjoy the talk. He kept on explaining how the professors tend to be boring when giving lectures that's why students don't cooperate in class discussions. He said that the lectures should be as interactive as possible. Di lang dapat puro recitations and stuff. There should be jokes or funny stories injected in the discussions to keep everyone's attention. He also gave some pointers on how students should take down notes. We students, he said, should not be limited to taking down the important things that the professors say. We can put some nonsense doodles in our notes. He also said that the informality of the notes will make the students remember the lecture more. I don't remember what his proof was, though.

So anyway, after the talk, Les, Sara, Jaja, Jack and I went back to Leslie's condo to fix ourselves for Lau's debut. It took us quite some time to fix ourselves and the video presentation we made for Lau. I can't remember what time we left for Lau's debut but we did make it, with so much time to spare.

In the cab, Les became emotional. She was saying how her mom can't understand her and all. The rest of us, including the taxi driver, explained her mom's side. What she'd probably say when she hears Les saying all those things.

When we reached Valle Verde 4, Lau still wasn't there but a handful of familiar faces were there. The block started to take loads of pictures and I just know it that the other people were beginning to sense what camwhores Lau's blockmates can be. Lau arrived later. I was part of the 18 roses. The 18 roses were supposed to say a little something for Lau. That we did. Nico (My Sherie Amore... or whatever the title is) and Ariane (Just a smile) played/sang songs for Lau. After that, we watched the presentations made for her. One was from us and the other was made by her brother. We were asking her to cry but she can't cry. Why? Because, she said, "Mukha akong tanga sa mga pictures!". After the program, everyone danced. Well, at least, me and my blockmates danced. We were asking for Techno songs but Kuya Gerry don't seem to have them. After the whole thing, the block (those who were left) sat in a circle and started singing, chatting and everything. We went home at round midnight.

October 17 - 21

KASPIL Scrapbook-making.
Mga panahong nasimot ang laman ng wallet ko.


October 21 (pm)

Went to my dad's office to fix up for Kam's debut. He brought me to Savannah Moon in Libis. When I got there, I saw Mars and a couple of Kam's blockmates. Looked for Tanya and Ingga since Kam said they were there na. Sat with them and waited for Krista, Pinky and Lydia. Apparently, we were supposed to wear something that would show who our favorite Hollywood artists are. Dagflammit, only Lydia came in looking like a "star" (Gwen Stefani). I was part of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. It's like 18 candles without the candles. Hahaha. So anyway, after all the messages, 18 roses came. Shets, ang sweet ng dance nila Kam at Marc. Grawr. So after that, Tanya and her partner (I forgot his name) danced to open the dancefloor. Of course, Trisix nanaman ang nauna sa dancefloor. We pushed (or pulled, rather) some of Kam's blockmates to the dancefloor. They danced too but not as much as we did. Went home after that. Was tempted to join Pinky, Lydia and Krista in Eastwood but I have classes the next day.

Imma be needing the first part for our scrapbook in KASPIL.

START

October 8

We (Lau, Kim, Cuyeg, Malia, Jill and very yours truly) met up at the South Gate at 'round 1 in the afternoon. The others couldn't come kaya yun.

*Insert: I just realized, the date was October 8. ?!@#$%^&*.

So anyway, we ate at Pizza Hut when the rain poured. It wasn't that hard, though. We waited for it to stop and went to the shuttles in Moldex (MONDEX, as Cuyeg would call it) to get to Roxas Blvd. The shuttle's driver was fugly annoying. Pwede naman niyang sabihin sa mahinahong paraan. But nooooo. Annoying driver. So anyway, we got off at the CCP complex and we all wanted to go to Star City. Hahaha. Babaw. But then, we realized na next week na pala due yung scrapbook so we crunched ourselves up in one taxi and rode to Manila Cathedral.

I don't really remember now what happened when we reached there. Oh, no, but I do. Hahaha. The annoying "bodygurads" wouldn't let us take pictures of the EXTERIOR of the church. Apparently, the President was there, attending a wedding. We saw the car and saw it's plate: 1. We were all, like, "Andito si GMA?". We walked to Bahay Tsinoy next. Annoying place had entrance fees. So anyway, we rushed to somewhere (I don't know any place in Manila... Taft lang and Binondo...Jackie!) to get a film for Kim's cam (Ooh! Anu daw?). We pedicab-raced our way back to Bahay Tsinoy. Only Jill and Lau went inside (Fee's P60 per head). We then moved to San Agustin Church. Another wedding. Bummer. We took pictures of THE FUDOGS (hehe.) and the exterior of the church. Spent the rest of our energy looking for Casa Real which, by the way, is closed down by its owner. Went back to Manila Cathedral hoping to get pictures of the interior. But nooo. May kasalan nanamang nagaganap! So we had no choice but to take pictures outside. Fun experience, though.

END

...Well, went home teary-eyed. Don't ask.

October 10

We got the results of our first ALGE101 quiz. I got a low score but fuck it, I din't study for it. I was lucky. Hahaha. So anyway, the highlight of my day was PETEAMS. Gadammeeet, I have loved PE since forever. I loved every part of it. We are having Volleyball in PETEAMS this term. So you can guess how much I enjoy every Monday of my 2nd term. So anyway, I really don't know how to spike. Sir Olarte taught me how...though I still don't get it. Hahaha. Idol ko nga si Kizia and si Martin e. Woohoo! Galing! We had a mock match. Kalaban namin sila Cuyeg. The guy's a spiker, man, I tell you. I always happen to catch all his spikes and that made my hand fuckin' numb after the game. We won, though. Hahaha.

Kim had a tummyache in the middle of the "spiking exercise". She called me her "asawa" because I was there with her when her tummy was aching. Hahaha. Wala lang. It was nothing, Kim! Anything for Darna! Wahoop! Anu daw? Hahaha. Love you mats, Kim!

Nahatulan na ang Green Archers.

IT'S YEO TIME!


Yes, it was definitely Paffy Yeo's time. Hehe. Angas niya, ever!

Even though we lost a very tight game (73-71), I saw that the team did their best. It was a slow start but they picked up when second half approached. We lost by 2 points which was kindov disappointing considering na La Salle took a 9-point lead in the 3rd quarter. But oh well. Like they say, all's fair in love and war. And basketball is definitely a war.

Would you believe na I actually lost my apetite after the game? Wala lang. Hahaha. And nawalan na rin ako ng gana mag-aral for ALGE101 tomorrow that's why I'm updating. Shet.

************


I was with Jopet while watching Game 2. Heh. Wala lang. He kept on teasing me na FEU will win. Turns out he's right. Hehehe.

I was telling him how my cousin Lem (yes, a guy) loves Joseph Yeo and how he asked me to tell Yeo if ever I see him in school how much he loves him. And ang gwapo daw niya. Hahaha.

He was here around lunchtime and he went home in the middle of the 4th quarter. I asked him to stay until he finishes the game but he had to go. So yun.

************


A lot has been happening in school now and I can't seem to think of anything to blog about. One thing's for sure, though. Some friendships are going to waste. Depressing? Hah. Wait till you hear the details.

************


Sir Marasigan (INSTUDI) said somthing a couple of meetings ago that made me look at a friend of mine and go into my Black Darna mode.

Kung gagawa ka rin lang ng kalokohan, siguraduhin mo nang hindi ka mahuhuli.
