I am Zhang Xun Jie mad!!! Okay, I just like Yang Xun Qi / Ah Qi, his character in The Outsiders so much (all coz he looks like Rushkins ^^) that I couldn't help but make a pic collage wally of him. Hope Genrou-kun won't mind that I'm putting another guy's pic on his monitor... Wahahahah!!! Who cares?! He's so kawaii!!! Ne??

Walang pasok, all coz of the strike. To echo C’s comment: gusto kong pumasok kasi gusto ko siyang makita. Course I’m pertaining to a diff person here. Taragisan, ayokong nasa bahay lang, it’s so boring! I know I should take advantage of the chance to rest and relax pero I just hate being bored out of my wits with having nothing to do!

I know where he lives! Okay, the general area where he lives... that sounds so like a stalker mweheheheh! Ah well... ^^0

My birthday curiously ended with a test of my patience. Went to the mall kasi after my class with Rose, Shoks, Madz and Princess. (The four of them gave me a gift, btw… a stuffed toy. A really GREEN frog with HUGE eyes I named Aubrey coz her name tag says her name is Blue Berry. So I translated blue into aoi and added beri… if you say aoiberi very fast it sounds like Aubrey so Aubrey her name is. And yes, I think it’s a she. She looks too pretty to be a he-frog. My other nickname for Aubrey is F-chan, short for Froggy-chan ^^0). Ate a short dinner with them and went grocery shopping for no bake cheesecake ingredients. Then I went home. That was around 7pm. I got home at around 1030pm. The trip took THAT long. Curiously though, I didn’t feel impatient or stressed about getting caught in a traffic jam. It should’ve ended the day on a bad note but it didn’t. I felt a tremendous sense of peace while sitting inside that jeep waiting for it to even move a foot closer to home. I was praying and mentally singing this song I learned from my YFC days.

Okay, I know that was cheesy, corny, or whatever. I’m not turning all-out religious here or anything. It’s just that I feel a certain awe that I felt that way during that time. Everyone else inside the jeep were getting pissed off about the situation we were stuck in but I was just thankful that despite what was happening, at least the wind was strongly blowing and refreshingly cool. I was happy the moon was so bright; glad that the songs in the jeep’s fm radio were so nice. It’s just so weird, that’s all. Why didn’t I get pissed off? I should’ve. But I didn’t. Thankfully, I didn’t.

November 27:
Spent the day out… mostly coz I had to get out and go to school. I got PE class! Can you believe it?! PE!? At my age! All because one of my PE classes didn’t get credited coz it had a diff subject description. Tough…

Anyways, I’m half glad it didn’t get credited coz we’re taking team sports: softball and football. And I don’t mean the American touch-down football type, k? Football as in David Beckham style, European football! I figured, cool, I get to learn Russell’s sport and sweat it out and maybe lose a pound or two in the process. What I didn’t count on is that now my entire body HURTS LIKE HELL. Especially my feet. Each step hurts. Kasi I don’t go out to jog anymore so syempre I’m out of shape. Eh on our first official PE class pa naman our coach made us do these sprinting drills while “dribbling” the football and one of our classmates trying to “catch” and take away the ball from us. I got kicked twice, I myself kicked a fricking STONE bench in one of my attempts to retrieve a wayward ball so now I have this very purplish-black pasa on my right leg. But all in all, it was fun and I look forward to next week’s class ^_^

Later that day I watched Alexander with some of the former 2E. Gods what a disappointment that film was. I won’t rant about it anymore coz I already did with Ems, An, and Tin. Geez, what a rip off...

Still later when I got home, mom, Tita Betty, Tito Toto, Ate Carol and Claudine and I went to mom and Tito’s cousin’s funeral. (Yes, yes... bati na lahat sila nanaman. Nice, ne?) Okay, technically Tita namin nina Ate Carol and Claudine yung namatay but I barely knew her. She had Down’s Syndrome. And that’s all I really know about her. I saw her maybe three time tops while she was alive, mostly during family occasions like birthdays, funerals or whatever. I looked at her lying inside her coffin... she looked like a peacefully sleeping child. I know she’s older than me but she looked like a child. Ironically, her name was Baby. I dunno if that was her real name or if that was just a nickname. The mood there wasn’t all that sorrowful. I guess coz subconsciously we all knew Tita Baby wont stay long with us. I hope her life was well-lived...

November 28
Went to the obligated mass. Then went to a wedding with Tita Betty and Camille (coz mom and Tita Pes were stuck to go somewhere else so we, their daughters, got obligated to go in their stead). Didn’t know the couple. I just went to accompany Tita Betty.

The ceremony and reception were nice and well-organized. The bride looked radiant and the groom was all smiles. They looked so enviably happy.

Tita told us that the bride’s parents named all their female children after the virtues of Love, Faith, and Hope.

The groom’s dad named all of his sons after him. So since panganay yung groom his nickname ata daw at home was First.

So, put together, the groom’s name is First while the bride’s is Love. First Love. Cute, ne? Coincidentally, First is Love’s first and last boyfriend. Hahahha!!! That is just waaaaaaaayy too cute, don’t you think?

Something happened at around 2pm today that plastered this HUGE smile on my face that I still can't seem to erase. Okay... did you believe that? You shouldn't. Not really. I would look seriously insane if I smiled like that the whole afternoon; it's really more like an internal smile that made my ENTIRE day worthwhile. Can't share the details here though, just the smile ^___________________^

I got to watch The Incredibles last Saturday. The plot was truly predictable but I still liked it, I think coz of the novelty of it being fully CG-animated and that it being kind of a spoof of lots of pre-existing superheroes. Had they made this into a live action, it wouldn't have been as nice, I think. I didn't find it that funny though it did manage to drive out a chuckle or two from me.

Finished RJ's New Spring... I want to read more. Nabibitin ako, it's too short! Gusto ko tuloy i-re-read lahat ng 10 books... gah, no time though ^^0

Am totally crazy about Rivermaya's Liwanag sa Dilim... talk about LSS, and for almost the whole darn week too! Ang hirap magconcentrate when the darn song's blasting inside my head :-/

On top of that, I like Barbie's Cradle & Kitchie Nadal, and I've also been wanting to watch Santa Santita of all things! Gawds, I'm actually beginning to like Filipino-media... what's happening to me?! Lolz... we do have a lot of really talented people in the entertainment industry, and it seems that the industry is slowly (and I hope surely) getting better these days.

I can't get in the Gensoumaden Saiyuki download site again... guess I've yet again been banned for downloading too many too soon. Haaaayyy... Sanzou's totally cute though. I miss watching the anime, but I crave to know what happened in the manga.

I wanna watch the Incredibles! Haven't found time to go to the mall and catch that particular animated flick as of yet, I plan to do so tomorrow after my class so I fervently hope that it's still showing at the malls we have here, or else I have no other choice but to wait for the video to become available and rent or buy that... probably rent.

Hay... ala lang. Got an assignment I wanna finish na so I can just relax and study a bit during the weekend kaso got tired of making it so here I am again online dilly-dallying and procrastinating as usual. I better get some sleep. Wahhh... I missed Lovers in Paris two days in a row! Yeah, yeah... nagiging jologs na talaga ako. I still watch Endless Love 1 in original Korean every fricking Monday night... am slowly learning the language through watching the damned show and translating it using Japanese... haaaaaay... ang weird lang talaga... I know I've said it before pero ang weird talaga e. I'm trying to understand something said in Korean by reading the Japanese subtitles and simultaneously translating the Japanese subtitles to either English or Filipino in my mind AND trying to tell my confused-and-no-idea-what-is-being-said-and-what-is-happening mother what I can translate. It's fun. Gah. I feel sleepy na. Ba't di pa kasi matapos-tapos itong dinadownload kong chapter ng Full Moon o Sagashite e...

Am deciding between a mini oven or a tablet to get for my upcoming birthday. Mukhang di nanaman ako bibili ng speakers for Genrou-kun. Guess I can live without them speakers (nasanay na heheh ^^0), but I really wanna buy those two items I mentioned. Pero I only have money for one of them so... must pick just one.

Got Robert Jordan’s New Spring: The Novel last Saturday. Haven’t started it and am not really in the mood to read it yet, but I still bought it since it’s part of the WoT series. What?! It’s one of my fave fantary series, didn’t you know? The cover art sucks though. Wish RJ’s editors would get a new artist... whoever the artist is doesn't do justice to RJ's description of his characters, I mean, they look butt-ugly and they aren't supposed to! The landscape and background's pretty okay though, but that's all. I wanna see a more faithful painting of Matrim Cauthon!

I dunno if I liked the ending or not, but that's the way it ended so I guess I have to live with it. Finished downloading and reading Angel Sanctuary na! So am now in the midst of downloading Gensoumaden Saiyuki. Nice ne?  

Anong balita?

1) We have more or less regular classes na... so I have this 50+ pages na handout I need to read, and that's just for 1 subject!

2) Block system kami... my blockmates, the ids, elected me as their president. That's just like the class beadle @ ADMU, except with the workload of three people coz I'm technically the gofer for ALL our professors. To think I’m one of the most irresponsible and apathetic people I know… tsk tsk tsk… this would be interesting if I factor in my schedule. And yes, Ems… I totally agree. My schedule for this sem sucks big time :-/

3) My obsession with... I still have to come up with an original code for him... has come back, full force. Gah. At least it leaves me inspired. At least. Like anything will come of that.

4) Watched that Asian horror flick, Three, and didn't like it. Also watched Doll Master before that and Sky Captains as well. I didn't like any of them movies. Doll Master just made my dislike of dolls worse, and Sky Captain's plot is so corny and predictable that it was a complete waste of money and time. Angelina Jolie's character rocked though...

5) Looking forward to our Basic Nutrition lessons... our prof said we'll be able to devise our own diet program after we take up this course, heheh… diet addict na ata ako e. My current weight's 135lbs... considering that I was 159lbs before I started all this dieting stuff, that's a big improvement na, di ba? My target weight is 120lbs... Gah, I need to exercise more pero san ko pa isasaksak sa sched ko? Hmmm... gym kaya ako ng Fridays? ^_^0

I got Furuba chapter 101 na!!! Oh my lord... it's another doozy! Now I understand a hell of a lot more why Shigure's the way he is. So interesting, this story is going.

Anyway, about school: finished enrolling yesterday. Here's my sched:
MW : classes from 730am-530pm
F : only 1 class from 430-530pm
TTh : classes from 730am-600pm
Sat : 8-10am

Big bummer that I have Saturday class, but what can I do? I can't change it coz it'll conflict with my other classes so I'm stuck with the darn thing.

On a side note: nakakairita na I had to see him when I didn't feel like seeing him. La lang, pag handa akong magpakita sa kanya ni anino niya hindi ko nakikita, pag lang talagang hindi ko ine-expect na makikita ko siya dun siya nagpaparamdam. And no, I'm not referring to a ghost, but he might as well be, the bloody git! Gah!

Got this in my inbox today from one of my mls:

Furuba Ch.101 (ugly spoiler)

If you disagree with the pairing of Akito x Shigure, then you're not
going to like this chap. ^^;

Shigure meets his manager at a restaurant where Akito is
coincidentally there with Shigure's parents. Later, Akito comes home
to find Shigure waiting and pursues him about the woman (manager) who
was with him. Soon the conversation turns to Shigure sleeping with
Ren and he confesses he slept with her only because Akito did it with
Kureno. *You sure you want to read on??? I'm warning you!!!* In
the past, Shigure confessed to Kureno that he loves Akito. Now with
Akito becoming more hysterical, Shigure tries to leave before she
grabs him for a kiss and he pushes her down without resistance. *See
I warned you!!! ><*

Tohru decides to tell Rin and goes to her school. However, she
discovers Rin has been readmitted to hospital.

Go Shigure!!! I don't care who he's bloody paired up with as long as the manga's revealing more info about this super sly and interesting inu ^_^

Bloody hell! I have Saturday class! I have to report at school at 730 in the morning every bleeding weekday then I still have to be there on Saturdays?!

Hell!

Like I have a choice. Guess my schedule’s really just gonna go worse from here on considering next sem I’ll have 8 hours stay in the hospital every other day and then classes on the days we’re not at the hospital we’re gonna be assigned in. Tapos sa 4th year 12 straight hours sa hospital! Shhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeet !_!

Anyways, I’m really not done with enrolling yet for the second sem. The whole medical/physical exams plus drug test plus pregnancy test results took like 5 fricking days to complete, kanina ko lang natapos lahat ng requirements only to be told by the peeps at the advising room na bukas pa ako pwede since I’m an irreg student. Ah well. Hope I get done tomorrow. Ubos na ang pera ko sa kakapasahe to and from that stupid hospital na dun lang kami pinayagan magpa-medical at physical and take note, iba pa yung lugar kung san kami dapat magpapregnancy at drug test. Hello?! Meron naman dun.. Hay! Ayoko ng isipin. Sobrang rant na to.

Sobrang weird ko talaga. Nung pinalabas sa local channels Endless Love series di ko pinapanood. Ngayong pinalalabas sa WOWOW in their original Korean dub ngayon ko sinusubaybayan talaga. At wala naman akong alam na ni anong Korean words. Like hell. Para maintindihan ko kung ano pinagsasabi nila I read the bleeding Japanese subtitles. O ano, bilib na kayo? Hahahha ^^0 Kasi, ang ganda ng OST pag yung orig yung pinapanood e, dun sa Fil dub ang sagwa… ginagawang tagalog. I know the story’s the same, but the show itself feels different when I watch it in raw Korean. Basta… mas okay e, even if I barely understand what the characters are saying.

Kakabilib nga lang no? I mean, kakabilib how universal these stories are. I mean, they’re all sappy and everything, pero people from Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Philippines, hell, I even heard peeps from the western countries get hooked on these things… universal kasi theme nila e, I know this sounds corny and all, pero yeah, I guess the most universal theme is love. Kaya nga sobrang ito lagi laman ng mga sumisikat na kanta and stories e.

Gah, that was sappy. Must get back to teasing mode for Jameski’s fic.

Wah! Pahabol lang… ang ganda talaga ng scenery na pinalalabas nila sa Natsu no Kaori (Scent of Summer /Summer Scent : Endless Love 3). Hmmm… wanna go to Korea heheh… kung sa Korea nga setting nito. Wonder if they’re gonna make a 4th installment sa mga stories na to, so far they have autumn, winter and summer. Spring na lang.

Bush won.

Wonder if anything's gonna change. Hope if anything does, it'll change for the common good.

Kerry conceeding... how very classy of him. And him telling his constituents that he didn't want the country to go through more trouble when his lawyers wanted to take into court the way the polls were counted... wish FPJ thought and did that during his time, he would've saved face if he did, I think. And it would have given more credibility to PGMA as the presi making the start of her new term if not good then at least not as hard as it got. As it is now, I think he's the lowest of the low (and to think I don't even like PGMA that much, but she's who we got and I think instead of criticizing her to hell, it would be better if we supported her instead). That's just my opinion, so if anyone here's an FPJ supporter, *shrug* each to his/her own opinion.

But my gosh, ang bilis ng pagcount ng US sa mga ballots nila! Satin it took a month or so to count...

I absolutely love ShigureXTohru fics (never mind that most of the ones I’ve read of them are lemon, but the ones that are not lemon are just soooo sweet!) ^_^

La lang.

Can’t access the AS download site again. I think coz of bandwidth issues I got banned hehehe ^^0

Finally finished David’s fic for the flavour challenge! I totally changed it from what I first planned. Somehow, this idea just entered my mind and it wouldn’t let up so I typed it up overnight and viola! I’m done!! ^_^ I’ll leave it be for now and focus on James’s fic and then of course Russ’s. I can’t wait to start Russ’s fic but am enjoying torturing James too much to start anything else. I want my whole focus when I finally write Russ’s fic. I’ll try to finish these fics before November ends so I can leave them be for a few days and then go back and edit them the week before we have to upload them at the illucorp ml files. Like Sir Aguas said, write in heat, edit in cold… or something to that sense.

Ah hell, it's November already. I hate and love this month.
