Sick...and hating it.
POSTED AT 02:22 PM

Been busy the whole damn week. Finals are fast approaching, and all the professors are starting to pile up the pressure, not to mention the work, on us. I know the stress is really starting to get to me, because my period is now very much irregular.This has never happened to me before.

And now....I'm sick. Feverishly hot. As in 39.5 degrees Celsius hot.

I don't know how the hell it happened. I NEVER get sick. Well, Ok, I'm not that weird. I do get sick, but it rarely happens. I can't even remember the last time I got sick.

Guess it was the weather. It's been really humid the past few days, and then we'd have to go inside a freezing classroom. That's got to do something for my resistance..right?

But there was one good thing this illness has brought me. :D

And that's another entry.

FULL HOUSE!
POSTED AT 06:58 AM

It's been a week since I last opened this account. Damn. That's how busy I've been. Every day for the past week, I had at least two quizzes, and a term paper to complete.

Only thing keeping me sane is that Koreanovela called Full House. These days, the time I usually spend in front of the computer is replaced by studies and watching the said novela.  

Yes, it's a Koreanovela. Don't call me a loser just yet. Ang ganda kaya nun promise! It's not all weepy, I'm-in-love-with-you-you're-in-love-with-me-but-the-world-is-against-us-i-have-amnesia-you're-my-brother bullcrap. Yes, the show is about love. Or rather, the complex process of falling in love with someone you promised you'd hate. Cliche, I know, but the way they presented it in Full House is just too good for words. Sobrang funny, I swear. It's the epitome of love-hate relationships.

Kinda like the way I like it.

Haay. Gotta go. I need sleep. God knows how deprived I am of that luxury.

Next week is finals week. Putek. I am soooo dead.

Quizzies
POSTED AT 08:41 AM

Took these quizzes out of sheer boredom. I think my anime haircolor is still a bit undecided. Hehe.

Your anime hair color is green.

What is your anime hair color?
brought to you by Quizilla

 

You have lavender hair. You arouse jealousy in
others because you're so lucky when it comes to
the opposite sex(or the same sex, whichever it
may be.) Simply put, you are cute, popular, and
you like it that way. You are also very
organized and precise.

What is your inner anime hair color?
brought to you by Quizilla

 

In your eyes, people see life... You see yourself
as just an average person! You enjoy life, love
wildlife, but also enjoy time with those who
know you best. You like to get outdoors and let
your mind wander over all of the mysteries god
gave to you. You don't really have a certain
sanctuary because you're so well-rounded, but
you like having fun and adventures, but can
also be found sitting quietly about, reading a
book. You have a pretty good life ahead of you,
never trade it for anything else :)

What Lies Behind Your Eyes? (With Pics, See All Results!)
brought to you by Quizilla

 

Your element is Air: Carefree, lovable, fun and
childish. Arent you cute! Your just full of
childhood spunk and happiness! Hey who said
being young was a bad thing? You have a keen
understanding of whats good in life and choose
to remain happy rather than get too upset over
things. Life is fun, who wants to be troubled
by grown-up problems? Being as capable of love
as you are you will make a wonderful parent if
and when you choose to grow up. Love is a
mystery because you only want friends not love
interests, games are better than relationships
with the opposite sex. You have what everyone
is searching for, that so called 'fountain of
youth' deep inside. You can come across as
naive and childish at times. But who cares what
they think, lets go play tag!

F:

Your Beauty lies in Contradiction. Controversial, unpredictable, and
never what anyone expects. You appearance and your personality are two
opposite things. Even your appearance sends different signals to different
people. To some you may look innocent and sweet, to others you look mysterious
and intimidating at the same time. No one ever knows what to expect with you.
You are a little bit of everything all mixed together. You can be watching
the football game with the guys one minute and the next out shopping at the
mall. You seem to be almost a different person every time you meet someone, but
at the same time you know exactly who you are and there is always that one
thing that makes you you. You enjoy keeping people guessing and people love how
completely unpredictable you are.

It's All Good..Coz it's All Over!
POSTED AT 04:13 PM

I either feel like screaming for extreme joy, or just fainting from exhaustion.

At long last, the school year is officially over. No more quizzes and exams, no more assignments, no more effing term papers with groupmates who are determined to make you do everything while they sit pretty and wait for the grade. All of that’s over and done with. Yay!

I think I did okay on my Zoology finals. Same with Socio-Anthro. I got a bit confused with Theo, but no worries. And as expected, Chem was a breeze. Not. Duh.

Just found out that we got the highset grade for the Filipino portfolio. 97.5. Ma’am Taruc was all praises for our anime-themed research paper and Paolo’s movie reviews. Business letters were good. Sablay lang kay Flor, because his resume was too crappy for words. Ok lang yun, ‘coz we got a 97 despite that. Whoohoo..! Well-deserved, I’d say. Marj and I went through hell for that thing.

Defense for English is over too. Short, but well-explained, said Ma’am Casela.

As for PE, I don't know what my overall grade would be, since I really suck at ball games buuut...Damn! Our team was class champion! Yeahboy! Harhar..I only got to play the first few games, but I did better than expected. The last games, well.. A string of unfortunate incidents happened. First, a ball hit my wrist the wrong way so I couldn't play well on our 3rd to the last game. Then the last two games, I just recovered from my fever so Tita Guing didn't want me getting tired and sweaty. Instead of playing in court, I played cheerleader! I think I was the only energetic one at that hour (my PE is 7am on a Monday, for cripessake). All my screams of 'Go Team!' and 'Ang galing, ang galing!' and 'kaya mo yan <insert name of teammate here>!! Go go go!' didn't go to waste.

I can finally rest without having to worry for anything school-related from now on.

Err…that is until April 8. That’s when we find out whether we made it past the cut-off or not. Gah. Tita says I worry too much, but I just can’t help thinking…What the hell do I do if I don’t make it? What do I tell my parents? Where will I go next? Should I still go for Nursing, or take another course? What?

Bleh. Stupid cut-off.

Nuff of that. I said I’d worry ‘bout that later, so I will. :D

Saw Ran-Ai only once. It’ll be a long time ‘til I see him again, but I’m sure we’ll be able to communicate one way or another. I mean, sus. Yun pa. Ehe.

Hmm. Oh well. I’m off to watch Full House..!

Just Another Day
POSTED AT 03:43 AM

I can't remember when I last felt so glad to be bored. :)

Being bored means you've got nuthin to do. And I DON'T! Whoohoo!

Harhar. Forgive me. Still can't get over the fact that it's already summer. Season of heatwaves, halo-halos, swimming trips, tanlines and doing precious nothings.

But I won't be bored for long. Tita and I are off to Intramuros in an hour. We're going to scout around for my possible 18th birthday venue. I really should be getting ready by now. Ehe. Just wanted to do a quick update before I do.

Will update tonight. Ciao.

Oil of Wintergreen. Ugh.
POSTED AT 12:12 PM

(*entry title courtesy of saicho_18*)

My feet hurt. Walked for miles around Intramuros, trying to look for the venue. Still haven't made up my mind but we have two finalists. Tamayo's Catering in Villa Immaculada and Casa Marinero. We're still going to check out a clubhouse in Project 8 and try to see a few more before we make the final decision.

About the heading? Yeah well. After Intramuros we dropped by Quiapo for a while, just to find shoes for Tita Guing. Her graduation's this Tuesday and she needs closed shoes for the event. Ang arte. I think open-toed sandals are much, much better. Whehe. Can you say 'mababaw'?

Anyway, I saw this tube of ointment. I think it's Bengay or something of the sort. Pero pucha, one look at the heading "Methyl Salicylate"...WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Chemistry! It's effing everywhere!!! Can't a girl try to have selective amnesia about tedious things like that?! I literally felt a vein throb in my forehead. Wala lang. nashare ko lang. My hate for Chemistry is mounting by the moment.

Calm down Chen. Take deep, calming breaths. Think happy thoughts. Happy, happy thoughts, with doughnuts and ice cream and Keanu Reeves and purple things and Jops getting mistaken for a little lost elf boy who's on the run from the fashion police. (Uhmm..Jops is a girl almost the same age as I am. As you can probably see, I don't like her very much.) 

*Sighs*. I feel much better now.

I have to go. There's this FY fic I've been wanting to finish so I'll go work on it now. Ja ne!

Sakto.

art and literature, and tend to be quite good
at creating them as well.

When The Past Makes a Comeback
POSTED AT 11:06 AM

Went to hear Palm Sunday mass yesterday, and of all people I expected to be there...guess who I should bump into...

Yep. Slinkz.

Then saw him (i think) again earlier at SM Manila.

Can't remember the last time I've thought about him. It's been a semester since the..err..attraction I had for him started to fade Away. Now that it's completely gone, he keeps popping out of everywhere. In school, at mass, malls, Yahoo Messenger. What the hell does that mean?

But I don't think these appearances of his are making any impression on me. It's just kind of puzzling that now that I could care less 'bout him I'd see him everywhere. Life is ironic...ne?

As we sat down in mass yesterday, I looked at him and wondered.."Why him? What on earth did I see in this sorry creature that made me fall so hard?"

All right Dishwalla. When you're right, you're right. Again. Damn lyrics hit me hard.

Don't go on looking for love in the illusion of it all. The answer's in the dream... - Nashville Skyline by Dishwalla

I was kind of hoping I'd see Ran-Ai too, but no such luck. Will probably talk to him later though.

Dinnertime. Ja.

Change
POSTED AT 10:11 AM

After what seemed like ages, I finally had my hair cut today. If Tita Ging didn't need to go to the salon today, I might never have pushed through with the it. But now I have.

Yep. I had my hair cut. And not just a puny trim, mind you. The length is now just half of what it once was. If you know me at all, then you'd know that that, in fact, is a big deal. I had waistlength hair before the final cut. You get the picture.

I didn't really plan on getting it this short. I told the stylist, I want it layered but not too short. I like length, I told him. Twice. But Saich's right. Gay stylists never listen. So now I have a new look.

After the initial shock of seeing lengthy cuts of MY hair on the floor, I thought it looked OK. Of course, I'd need a second opinion no, pero, I'm beginning to like it.

Just like life. Some things are just not in the program, but sometimes it's for the better. It might not seem so at first but you'll learn to love it.

Change is good. Really.

First the haircut. Wonder what else will change over the summer..?

WANTED: Title
POSTED AT 01:36 AM

He lets go of her hand and stands up

Don’t go, she says, weakly reaching out to him.

He smiles gently
I will be back, says he
Caressing her cheek with the back of his hand

She closes her eyes
He kisses her forehead
Whispers of love are exchanged
And with that he takes leave

She watches his back disappear
She tries to call out again
But he does not hear anymore
And she does not see anymore 

He shouldn’t have left.

Limply her arm drops
Her tongue slides across cracked lips
And tasted salt and water
And bittersweet emotion

He hurries across town
Clinking of bottles accentuate his every step
A trail of petals marks his path
Run home, make haste
Your beloved awaits
His heart whispers
And he obeys

She drowns herself in blankets
Warm and smooth and soft
It smelled of him and it smelled of her
And it smelled of their joining the night before
Harder the tears do run

Her breath catches
Heartbeat slows

Stops

He shouldn’t have left…
He shouldn’t have left…

He throws open the heavy door
Calls out for her
Silence answers him like a lonely shadow

And the flowers lay forgotten
And the bottles shatter into a million pieces

He shouldn’t have left

He curls up like a newborn child
Cries in pain and sorrow and regret

He shouldn’t have left
He should’ve waited
Waited for her to breathe her last
Should’ve held her hand and bid farewell
Should’ve stayed, should’ve stayed

He drowns himself in blankets
Warm and smooth and soft
It smelled of him and it smelled of her
And it smelled of their joining the night before

Harder the tears do run.

The Little Things
POSTED AT 03:26 AM

Not much to say really. All of Holy Week, I just stayed home with the family, or went to mass. Watched movies from my collection. Oh, I also spent my time sketching dress designs too. Am now exercising every afternoon too (my theory is, afternoons are warmer than the rest of the day. Warmer, more sweat. Whehe.) Hope it’ll last. Harhar. 

Planned a night out with the Ghorjus 4. Greenbelt lang naman, dinner, then probably movie or dancing. Or we can head down to Glorietta and windowshop. Whatever. As long as we’re all there, ok lang. It’s been ages since we last went out, as in the four of us. Problem at hand: parental permission and financial status (read: broke).

Haven’t spoken to him in a while. Sure, we talk every now and then, but that’s all small talk, you know. Nothing too serious. No heart-to-hearts. I find it surprising that I haven’t thought about him as much as a normally would have. “Out of sight out of mind” nga ba talaga?

Chatted with my mom the other day. Girl talk, sobra. As in, fashion, hairstyle, beauty stuff, shoes, the works. Natutuwa ako sa nanay ko, sobrang updated. Ehe.

Yey, may Full House na ulet mamaya. Saw the next ep’s trailer already. Can’t wait.
