Back to reality...
I just got back from Eastwood a few minutes ago. Ngangi, Kri and I did a marathon of the Eastwood shops for two hours and I'm so spent na. Well anyway, I spent the whole day basically doing nothing so I don't really have any right to complain. If it's any consolation, I've seriously been studying since Saturday night. Funny nga eh, I've been STUDYING with Leo, Troy, J.P. et.al. Oh well, it's always a good thing to explore other things. Besides drinking. Kaka-insecure lang to study with J.P. and Law. They're SOOOOO into law school, I swear! It's fun though. Leo and Troy are especially fun to study with. I love distractions, and those two seem to be very good at it. I hope Leo doesn't read this kasi it's so corny, but I'm really happy I met them. Hehe! I should be paid for this na.
Anyway, everything's back to normal for me. Back to square one. Again, I've just awaken from this mistaken notion about this guy I went out with a couple of times. (Note that I don't call them dates. I'm still not quite sure WHAT they were, and I don't want to raise any eyebrows. For the record, some people say they WERE dates, but I still don't know. Maybe they were. Maybe they weren't. In any case, nothing ever became of it, so I can't say it's over because it never really began. =( ) Not much of a loss though. Well, yeah, sige, I concede, it would have been great save for the fact that well, maybe it just wasn't the right time for either of us. I'm not saying never though. The few times we went out were all fun, and if he ever does ask again, I'd go in a heartbeat. At the very least, I think I found a good friend in him. Or at least I hope so. It's just that he's been my main distraction for so long, and, well, it's just sad...
Sometimes I hate being a girl. So many things can be prone to so many interpretations and hairsplitting distinctions about whether or not this or that thing meant something or if it was just nothing. It's especially difficult when people start making all these interpretations about something already so confusing. Well, at least this one didn't drag on for so long. Better to cut my losses this early in the game than to find myself again having invested so much but having reaped so little. I don't want to be the one getting the short end of the bargain this time around. I'm so sick and tired of that.
So there. I'm still happy though. I seem to be high on something, although I've never tried anything even remotely illegal. Kri, Ngangi and I are going back to the condo in a while to have a couple of beers before studying. Well, I'm studying, Ngangi's writing 3 papers, and Kri's doing her laundry. Welcome to my life.

And the rest of my thoughts for the day...
| For some weird reason I don't want to identify for fear it might dissipate, I've been really happy lately. Maybe it's because I've just realized that my social circle hasn't really stagnated. It's always fun to meet new people. Not that I have any complaints about my present circle, minus the new people, other than the fact that my barkada doesn't generally drink. So anyway, our hard work paid off. (1) We made around P8,000 net from the Winlaw Valentine's Day Rose Sale. Yay! (2) Charles and Oggs won as LSG Treasurer and Secretary respectively. (3) I'm next year's Winlaw VP for Finance. Although I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... (4) I passed Credit midterms. BUT I got lower than I expected. Well, that's law school for you... Oh yeah, my erstwhile significant other gave me pecan pie for my birthday. La lang. Ah, and it's Day 5 of the war. The beeeyotch is STILL not talking to us AND giving us the brow treatment et.al. The nerve! Little dwende! Madam Auring's vaginal yeast! Ewwww!!! (quoting Kri) Hay nako, I swear to God, I'll have her deported to her little hellhole soon. Freak of nature! Hah! And so here I am again. Still procrastinating. Well, not really. The boredom has once again set in. I'm still trying to bully people into drinking tonight but the Spec Pro midterm exam seems to have taken its toll on my drinking buddies. Harrumph! =p Shame on you guys! Oh well... Oh yeah, Sigh Guy has been perenially absent from my direct line of vision for the longest time. Hmph. Kainis. Still not sure if there's something there... In any case, I'm just having good CLEAN fun here, so there's no harm done there. Just innocent little glances here and there. My friends are having a heart attack na because of all my kuwento. It's so high school, I swear! Argggh! The text I just received shattered all my potential plans. Nobody wants to go out. =( Oh well. Guess I'm spending tonight watching stupid soaps again. Sigh! |
Post-22nd birthday ramblings
| That's weird. I was under the impression I managed to post something after my birthday... Anyway, I guess the internet connection went bonkers again... Anyway, my 22nd birthday was the best I've had by far. 22's the best! And I don't even give a damn that I've been -ahem- unaffiliated, for more than a year now. All is well and good. My birthday celebration began on the 16th. Incidentally, I decided to wear my white skirt to school that day. Wala lang. I just felt like being girlie. I was hanging out by myself in the lib when I had this sudden urge to edge myself closer to lung cancer (Harhar!). I had the Winlaw Flower Sale funds with me, so I couldn't leave my bag in the lib. I left my cases and reviewers there though. (This fact will prove pertinent later on. =p) So I skipped out of the lib and amused myself with the people passing by the lib steps and chatted with Sands and Judy for a while. Just when I thought I'd have a few moments to myself to ponder on the more fundamental questions in life =p, Leo and Troy, and later Marlon, A.R. and J.P. stopped by, and I ended up having isaw with them. It's been a REALLY long time since I've had isaw, as the only person who's ever wanted to have isaw is, well, currently very distant. FYI, I'm talking about my erstwhile significant other. So anyway, I don't remember who exactly did the inviting and coercing (Who am I kidding here?), but the 5 of us (Leo, A.R., Troy, Marlon and I --- note the proper usage of the pronoun! Haha!) ended up having a few beers at the University Hotel. Note that at this point, I had every intention of going to Property class, as I skipped the previous night's session to go to the UP Fair with Mia, Lianne, Jen and Cesar. Incidentally, I thoroughly enjoyed the fair, although there was absolutely no alcohol in sight. So going back, after our 4-7pm drinking session, I took their advice and skipped class altogether. After finally deciding to meet up in Tribu (that new drinking place in the Xavierville area where we drank exactly a week before for Leo's birthday) at 11, Leo and Marlon left, and A.R. and I dropped Troy off at Malcolm. Neither of us wanted to go home just yet, so when A.R. asked if I wanted to have dinner, I said sure. Why not? We were supposed to go to Kamirori, as I've been craving for raw fish (Haha!) for the longest time, but since he wasn't able to withdraw from BPI, and reiterated once and again that he absolutely loved the Citibank in Libis, we ended up having dinner in Sushi Ya Libis til 10. By the time we remembered that I had left my CivPro and Labor stuff in the lib, it was 10, and the lib was closed and Malcolm Hall was absolutely deserted. There went my lunch, and my school stuff. And so A.R. and I ended up driving around Quezon City. It was so spontaneous and so fun. Funny thought: My blockmates and I always thought A.R. was Charles Veloso. Hehe! Oh well. Guess not. So anyway, we finally gave up the whole driving thing a few minutes before 11 and decided to get settled in Tribu. But lo and behold, when we entered, it was like a law school reunion of sorts. I am NOT kidding. Apparently, R.E., Karen Simbulan et. al. (whom I just learned is Gold's friend. Small world eh?) had just come back from a volleyball game. And the teasing began. And we headed out to wait for Leo et.al. Oh well. To cut the story really short (I'm just waiting for Jen and Nico so I can hitch a ride home.) stayed in Tribu til around 2:30 then everyone except A.R. and I went home. As for the two of us, we hadn't given up on the idea of getting tipsy just yet. Actually, we never DID get anywhere near tipsy, but we had a couple of beers in Whistlestop Libis and stayed there til 7am when we finally gave up all hopes of having San Mig Light running through our veins and decided to go home. By the time I got home, it was 7:30, the sun was up, and I had less than 5 hours to go til Admin and Labor. Oh god, the horror! My birthday proper. I decided to wear that off-shoulder shirt I bought from Kamiseta and my white capris. Really cute outfit. BUT, I ended up NOT going to both Admin AND Labor. Why I even bothered to go to school, I have no idea. Well, I helped Charles and Oggs campaign, so I guess I was able to do SOMETHING. My birthday began on the 16th with beer and ended on the 17th again with beer. I swapped my white capris with my white skirt and had a nightcap in OJ's Eastwood with Marie, Mitch, Iya and Chi. The perfect end to the perfect birthday. By now, I've learned that people actually read my blog, so I might as well say thank you to everyone who celebrated my birthday with me: A.R., Leo, Troy, Marlon, J.P., Jen, Punch, Chi, Mitch, Iya, Marie, and my barkada. Thanks guys! =) I had the greatest birthday ever! |

Happy day.
First, an update.
TUESDAY, February 8, 2005
I actually went to both Admin AND Property. I dropped by PNB with Mario to break down P2000 then had lunch with Mario and Cherry in Chateau Verde. The place was great. The three of us were the only people there, and the weather was perfect! There was a little fountain thing to the side, lotsa plants, and GOOD FOOD. It's always fun hanging out with those two. Hehe!
I dropped off the letter for Danny Con then went home for a while to finish the order forms, drop off my Admin stuff and get my Property stuff before going back to school. Property was extra boring, and we ended up taking turns going out to relieve ourselves of the boredom. Sir Labitag caught me texting outside the classroom though. I hung out for a while with Marie, Mitch, CJ and Oggs, planning Oggs' campaign (and also had a bit of a tiff with Oggs about my snide comments...) before I hitched a ride home with CJ. When I got home, I just rested, slept around 3 after the usual odds and ends.
WEDNESDAY, February 9, 2005
Well. Today started out normal. Great weather still. I hitched a ride to school with Sands and Polka then started setting up with Jen for the Winlaw Valentine's Day Rose Sale. We stayed there til 1-ish then we all went our semi-separate ways. Jen went to get her car washed whereas (Haha! Whereas!) I went to Rob.East with Nico, Lianne and Oggs to see The Phantom of the Opera. I've always had a thing for musicals, so I basically loved the movie. Too bad the sound system sucked. So anyway, after that, it was back to school for us. Lianne, Jen, Marie and I went to the Winlaw G.A. Nico and Oggs went to the FGD for the Academic Reforms Committee, this, well, committee, that nobody knew existed. After lamenting the fact that I hadn't seen Almoranas (I'm referring to a person here.) the whole day and Marie had, I spotted him. Finally. And then we went to have dinner at Johnny's. Grabe, Jen, Nico and I ate a 6-person dinner! I'm such a pig! By the way, according feng shui, as today marks the beginning of the year of the wooden rooster, we aren't supposed to eat anything chicken. It's the year of the rooster, you're not supposed to EAT the rooster. Haha! Anyway, the three of us headed off to mass at the Gesu at 7. Fr. Arevalo, SJ presided, and delivered a very interesting homily on venial sin and mortal sin. Ateneo masses are always the bestest in the whole wide world. And it's not just because there are so many familiar faces.
Tito Iggy just invited me to a relative's (Mon Yenko) despedida next week, "to get to know my long lost relatives", he said. So I'll be mingling with distant relatives at the Manila Polo Club Tuesday next week. What do I wear kaya?
Anyway, I missed the soaps AND American Idol today. I fell asleep, and woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, and an unregistered number flashing. I later found out it was Leo. I ended up drinking with Leo, A.R., Troy, J.P., Marlon, Cherry, T.J. and Jen in Tribu til around 2:30 or 3am. It was so fun. Kakainggit talaga block nila, they have REAL guys, the kind that you can actually have fun drinking and hanging out with. I had like 5 beers before we called it a night there. Cherry and T.J. had already gone home earlier, and Troy and J.P. just disappeared, so it was only the four of us, me, Jen, Leo and A.R. who went over to Whistlestop for banana splits. Yum! =) I got home around 4, took a shower then actually managed to make my digest. I'm so proud.
Thursday, February 10, 2005
And that brings me to today. Well, today was pretty much uneventful. I woke up with a slight headache, but after taking a shower (by candlelight again. The light's busted.), it just went away. I went to school to set up for the Rose Sale and tried to cram for Admin and Labor. Jen and I ended up cutting Admin. We went to Labor, but knowing absolutely nada. I was just texting Mario the whole time about his phone.
And so now, I just got back from dinner with Chi, Punch, Daisy and Lianne. Pigging out again. When will I ever stop kaya?
Sad thought. Sigh Guy has a girlie daw. =( Oh well, he was too good to be for real anyway. Sayang. I really really liked him pa naman in spite of his extreme state of un-cuteness.
But then again, it's so much more of a good thing that I've been meeting new people lately. I was getting the feeling that I was stagnating. Oh well. Guess not.

Goodbye midterms!!!
Aaaahhhh... Finally!!! With both Credit and Labor midterms down, there's nowhere to go but to bed. Hehe! I really could use some sleep right now...
Another inexistent weekend passed me by. Not that I had any plans to begin with, but studying isn't exactly my favorite thing to do, weekend or no weekend. I was supposed to be up at 6 on Saturday morning to go jogging with Sands before I started studying for Credit in the afternoon and for Labor midterms. BUT when I got up at 6, I got Malou's text that we weren't going to have Credit, so I thought to myself, what the hell, might as well get as much sleep as I can WHILE I can. And so I ended up studying at 3. Hehe! I DID get SOME studying done though. I spent til 9 in SBC then I gave up and went for a long jog around Ateneo, took a shower and slept the night away.
Sunday morning I was supposed to go to the 10:30am alumni mass at the Gesu with Nico and Ngangi but when I got up at 8, it was so cold, perfect weather!!! So AGAIN, I thought to myself, what the hell, and slept til noon. I went out for lunch then spent a couple of hours studying in Starbucks with Jen, Mitch and Anna.
Oh yeah, after a long respite from church, I finally gave in to myself and went to the 5:30 mass at della Strada with Jen. The mass was okay, I mean, I'd much rather have attended the alumni mass in Ateneo, but the mass celebrant was Fr. Roche, also a Jesuit, so it was sort of Ateneo still. And then the more secular callings kicked in. I had dinner, and I mean DIIIIINNNNERRR with Jen and Nico sa Mang Jimmy's. Think 4 steaming plates of cholesterol, tons of rice plus the prohibited Coke. Ahhhh... Then it was back to Starbucks for us. Law school beckoned. I got 2 hours of sleep then headed off to school this morning.
I was lucky today though. One of the very few times I attended our Monday morning Credit class, and I got called, for MY DIGEST. Haha! I knocked the socks off Buddy Carale! Hahaha! It's so kilig talaga to have a good recit.
So anyway, after breakfast with Nico, Mia and Jen in McDo, it was back to school again. Torture cram time. I did go to CivPro, but I went out twice, once for the Winlaw picture taking for the yearbook, and the second, well, just to stretch my legs. I wasn't able to take notes kasi Sands and Law were both in front, and I couldn't hear a word they were saying. But I did get to chat with Judy et.al. They're joining our Winlaw crowd next year. =) And -ahem- well, I'll keep myself un-incriminated. Hehe!
Anyway, Labor midterms... 45 items true or false. That's always bad news in law school. But enough of that. My tummy's full c/o our post-midterm dinner in A Veneto Visayas with Punch, Chi, Jen, Daisy, Nico, Lianne, Mia, Oggs and Japee. And now I'm updating my blog before I go sleep til kingdom come.

Goodbye cruel world!
Just kidding.
Anyway, I just got back from SBC, the venue of my latest attempt to get some studying done.
After a day of binging, and I mean MAJOR binging, I indulged myself in a bit of culture, if I can call it that. I saw a play tonight, 12 Angry Women. It wasn't of T.A. caliber by any standard, but it entertaining. Sara, Sands' sister was in it, so I tagged along with Sands, Jovan and Ness to go see it tonight. 12 Angry Women was about a jury of 12 women from varying backgrounds. There was an overly made up, and continuously making up, woman whose every sentence seemed to carry her credentials as an advertising gal. Then there was the probinsyana who wanted to close the only window to the jury room, the one who seemed to never have an opinion about anything, the prude, played by Sara, the supposedly rich juror, the angsty one with a hot temper, the really class-sensitive woman from the less fortunate area, and the really thin one whom the indicted child should really kiss ass for, as she reversed the initial 11-1 vote in favor of holding her guilty to 1-11 in favor of holding her not guilty on the ground of reasonable doubt. The plot basically revolved around the deliberations leading to the verdict, and the real emotions and contextual factors that do get involved in jury discussions. It wasn't quite a break from law school. I mean, it was basically Crim all over again, but I love watching plays, so I'd have to concede on that ground. The acting was mediocre compared to T.A. but for a minor production, it was all well and good. The best part of the whole night is that I got a free slice of pizza and iced tea with my 150-peso ticket. And a bacon cheesedog sandwich, which I had to pay for.
I went straight to SBC after the play to attempt to get some studying done. In that context, I guess I accomplished my mission. I got to finish some of the stuff I'm supposed to read for Credit class tomorrow, but I finally gave up 3 minutes ago. I'm going home to take a cold shower and 5 hours of sleep. Sands is waking me up at 6am tomorrow to go jogging before breakfast and another day of studying for class, going to class, and then studying for Labor midterms. I'm so dead. Half of the coverage for Labor I never really took seriously. I really don't get it. All the cases are the same. Petitions for certification election, the incomprehensible acronyms these labor unions manage to conjure for themselves, and intra- and inter- union disputes. Why can't they all just get along so we poor law students can get some rest? Hehe! Oh well. Good luck na lang.

Petitions for certification election, the incomprehensible acronyms these labor unions manage to conjure for themselves, and intra- and inter- union disputes. Why can't they all just get along so we poor law students can get some rest? Hehe! Oh well. Good luck na lang.
A series of unfortunate events
Well. Today sucked. My only happy thought was that Daddy and I talked on the phone last night. I'm actually homesick. Now isn't THAT something?
Anyway, I was supposed to go to TUCP with Nico, Lianne, Oggs and Chi but I ended up staying home til I had to leave for CivPro class because of an extremely upset stomach. I guess it was all the Dangwa food I had yesterday. It's always a bad idea to mix and match...
So after THAT, I headed over to school, dripping wet hair and all. READ: Bad hair day! There were only 18 people in CivPro class, out of the entire 41 who were supposed to be there. It just so happened that 2C had Credit midterms at 3, so more than half of them ended up cutting. I tried contacting Oggs but they were on their way to Lianne's dad's office, so I ended up sitting through CivPro alone. Well, not exactly. I shoulda taken Faye's advice and skipped class today. But NO!!! I had to be a diligent student and attend class. To cut the crap short, I got called. Of all the things that could have happened, I recited on provisions I didn't read. See, he said last Monday we'd be discussing Rules 13 and 14. I ended up reciting Rule 16 (Motion to Dismiss) with Kaka. And the thing is, neither of had had a clue about what was happening. We DID read for class, only we read the wrong Rules. I just hope I didn't look like too much of a fool in front of -ahem- HIM. Great. I'm going to flunk out of law school and that's all I can think about. It's so high school... So anyway, now I don't have notes pa. I'll have to borrow Reena's na lang.
After CivPro, I had the, um, pleasure, of putting up the posters for the Winlaw Valentine's Day Rose Sale. Well, except for the ones that are supposed to be in the guys' washrooms. I was finally able to get the Admin cases from Alan and got a particularly juicy bit of information from him. I won't even bother to mention it. Marie and I stalked this guy she likes while snacking on odds and ends from Manang Fishball. I had a couple of smokes then headed home.
Nico and Chi are starting to annoy me. They're reading too much into everything I do. Nico especially. They really need to stop taking me too seriously. I mean, if another person did the things I did, Nico would just laugh, but no! If I'm the unfortunate actor, he just takes it too damned seriously! I was just kidding around with Oggs yesterday kasi he was mistaken for a call boy so I told him, "So Oggs, magkano ka ba?" And Chi and Nico started whispering. God, it's just exasperating! And later on, I was just teasing Oggs again, and handed him a 20-peso bill. Nico, ever so critical, said, "You know, it looks bad for you." Hello?!!! Earth to Nico!!! It's just so annoying!!! And just a while ago, when I got home, Chi wasn't talking to me nanaman! Ano ba!!! Leave me alone nga! God!!! Pwede ba, stop na! I have other close friends naman, like Sands, Joven, Kiel, Ate Karen and Dianne who don't do that. Why can't they just take things as they are and leave it at that? I mean, not everything means something for crying out loud!
Anyway, I'm leaving in a while to watch a play with Sands. Sara's in this play 12 Angry Women. It's 150 pesos nanaman from my now-inexistent allowance but I really need a break from law school and from my so-called friends. I need people who DON'T care, or people who do, but aren't so into psychoanalyzing me. To hell with them godammit.

My Dangwa day
I'm finally back in Loyola Heights. Just got back from Dangwa a few minutes ago.
Anyway, my musings for the day...
I got called for Admin today, and amazingly, I think I did pretty well. =) I did that Pascual case, the first one under Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies. Like anyone cares. Hehe! Anyway, our block had an unpleasant run-in with pseudo-deaf-mute-ism in Ma'am Daway's Labor class today. As the story goes, she had a sore throat, and couldn't talk. I would've predicted that we would have either had a quiz or taken the day off, but no! She really wanted to hold class, so we spent an hour and a half trying to decipher the "writings on the wall" in lieu of sign language, which none of us know. Haha! My hands sweated a bucket the whole meeting. I wasn't able to study, I could't understand her handwriting, and there was dead silence with the occasional muted ramblings from our side of the classroom, during those godawful moments when she would hurriedly scribble questions, answers, and comments attempting to be funny. I finally gave up trying to keep up with whatever was going on and went out for a smoke and two Flat Tops. By the time I got back, class was over and the 2B people were right at the door trying to kick us out of 308 so they could have their share of the joys of law school.
In the middle of the day, though, I saw my red shirt guy in the lib. =) He's the epitome of UN-cute, UN-cool, etcetera etcetera, but I really do like him. He's so fun to be with. (Sigh!) Grabe, this is so high school. Anyway, wala lang...
So anyway, as I was saying, Marie, Jen and I headed over to Dangwa to canvass and to place our order na for the Winlaw Valentine's Day Rose Sale. The whole old Manila area is pretty scary compared to the comforts of Loyola Heights, but it was okay naman. We had kwek-kwek (Absolutely no idea how to spell it...), isaw (Barbequed chicken intestines! yum! Hehe!), and 15-peso halo-halo which turned out to be really good. Oh yeah, we roamed around the flower section too. I could live there. Honest. I love flowers. Fresh ones, anyway. The whole place was filled to the brim with flowers of all sorts. If only I could badger someone into giving me flowers... Tsk tsk... Oh well... Anyway, after placing our order, all three of us headed home na. It was a fun trip naman, tiring nga lang. But I'm looking forward to tomorrow. -Ahem- -Ahem-
It feels so bad when your wallet costs more than what's actually stored in it. And the sadder part is my wallet isn't all that expensive. Talk about a fiscal crisis. I don't have a fiscal crisis. I don't have anything to have a crisis about. = o

=)
I now have a new pleasant distraction. Heehee! Wala lang. =) Kakahappy.
By the way, L.A. and I chatted for a wee bit kanina. Apparently, he thinks I'm STILL mad at him. Was I ever? Well, yeah. I think so. But I told him na well, happy ako ngayon, so I guess I'm not mad at anybody. Oh well. Ambot.
Anyway, back to my new thing. I'm going jogging later, 7-ish siguro. To tip the balance of my overly UNhealthy lifestyle in favor of the, um, good?

Another day at the QC RTC
With Credit midterms down, and my fate uncertain, I lived yet another sleepless night for fear I wouldn't be able to wake up to go to the Quezon City RTC for our CivPro court observation thingie. I have never been, and will never will be a morning person. Okay, scrap that. I'm a morning person when I don't have to go to school. I love waking up naman in the morning if the first sound I hear is waves crashing. Or when I'm going hiking with my dad in Batangas. Or when I'm going to the beach or somewhere out-of-town with my friends or my family. But when it comes to going to class! God! You'd have to literally drag me out of bed and drench me with either ice-cold or scalding hot water to get me going. Oh well...
NOTE: Skip this part it you're not interested in the intricacies of going to court et. al. So anyway... Thankfully, I didn't have to spend my precious wallet-fillers to take a cab there. I hitched with A.R. na lang. Anyway, Mario, A.R., Franco, Law and I (Cherry and Reena weren't able to go for some reason I can't seem to remember right now...) are done na with hearing on a motion (2), and pre-trial (2). I only need to go to a hearing on cases covered by summary procedure, cross-examination and lupon proceedings. I'm thinking of creating a great big fuss in Loyola Heights and observing the proceedings then. Hehe! We saw Ma'am Chrissy din there. She was counsel for Caltex ba or some other big company. She looked kinda frumpy and messed up though, like she didn't bother to dress up or to even comb her hair. But then again, I guess it comes with the stress of ACCRA.
It's always such a shock going to court. What with all the handcuffed yellow-clad people and the armed policemen and the crappy lawyers. It's hot and crowded, and people stare. But I still can't imagine myself doing anything else besides lawyering. Oh well...
