| Ngayon, mas naiiintindihan ko na ang mga lalaki kung bakit masyado silang attached sa kanilang mga kotse/oto/tsikot.
Kanina, pag gising ko, wala na yung hi-lander namin. Sabi ni mama, dinala na daw kina Gerald, yung car dealer na kaibigan ni papa, pinapabenta. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, sayang wala man lang akong “last ride” sa hi-lander.
Noong hapon ding iyon, nagkita kami ni papa sa harap ng Araneta Coliseum para makapasok ako sa MTV Pilipinas Awards. Tinuro nya sa akin yung hi-lander namin na papalabas ng parking lot. Pinuntahan sya nung bumili para papirmahan sa kanya ang deed of sale. Wala pang 5 hours kina Gerald ay may nagkagusto na sa sasakyan namin at binili na. Nakatingin lang kami pareho habang binababa ng bagong may-ari ang bintana upang magbayad ng parking fee at kawayan si papa. Pagkalagpas sa amin, sabay kami ni papa na nagsambit ng babay habang sinusundan pa rin ng tingin ang hi-lander.
Gusto kong isigaw na huy, amin yan a! Pero hindi na amin yun. Ganun naman lagi e, nalulungkot ako kapag nakikita ko sa kalsada yung mga sasakyang minsa’y naging amin.
Marami rin kaming memories sa hi-lander na limang taon na nasa amin. Yun ang pansundo sa akin in mama nung 4th year high school ako, dahil wala ng tumanggap sa aking school bus dahil masyado na daw malayo. Duon kami nakikinig sa radyo ng impeachment trial habang binabaybay namin ang traffic mula Greenhills hanggang Tandang Sora. Madalas din kaming magdrive thru ni mama sa burger king, para pantawid gutom man lang dahil mahaba pa ang byahe. Duon din sa loob ng hi-lander ako umiiyak kapag inaaway ako ni guy best friend ko nung high school. Pero mas umiyak ako nung nagkabati kami.
Noong kolehiyo naman, dinala kaming mga k4 ng hi-lander na ‘to sa kung saan saan – Baguio, Los Baños, Muntinlupa para sa shoot ng Bakasyon, Sandiganbayan, Cubao at Makati para sa shoot ng thesis, etc.
Kapag may family outings naman, ang hi-lander pa rin ang kasama namin, dahil mas marami ang maisasakay. Dinala na nya kami sa Quezon, Pangasinan, Fontana, Puerto Azul, Baguio, etc.
Hi-lander din ang gamit ko sa aking unang driving lesson care of my tito. Ilang beses akong namamatayan ng makina, habang paikot ikot kami sa Valenzuela. Minsan nga muntik na kaming mabangga sa pader dahil imbes na preno, yung gas ang naapakan ko.
Ngayon, babay na sa hi-lander. Nakakalungkot, wala man lang akong “last ride” sa kanya.

| Nagulat ko kanina nung napagtanto ko na next week na pala ang birthday ko.. First time yata ito na na-lost track ako kung ilang linggo/araw na lang bago ang birthday ko. Either sobrang lunod na ako sa “trabaho” o wala lang talaga akong ilulook forward to sa aking birthday.

| Weird pala kapag naririnig mo yung tatay mo na nagkukwento ng mga kalokohan nya nung binata pa siya, nung nililigawan pa nya si mama. Yung nagpupunta sila sa kung saan-saang bar kasama yung isa kong tito (kapatid ni mama) at yung ibang pinsan ni mama. Kagabi kasi birthday ng isa kong tito at sa Laguna kami nag-overnight, sa bahay ng isa kong tito, tapos nagrereminisce sila ng mga kalokohan nila nung mga wala pa silang asawa.

Kung hindi naimbento ang salitang tiway sa mga projects, malamang may pambili na ko ng birthday gift para sa sarili ko, at may pangblowout pa. Pero ayos lang naman. Charge to experience ika nga nila. =P

Tapos tulad noong isang taon, nag Viking kami pagkatapos ng induction, pero mas madami kami ngayon. Na-miss ko ang Viking, yung mga ilaw na patay sindi ng fiesta carnival, ang mga sigaw ng mga taong nakasakay. Ang sarap ng feeling kapag nasa taas ka na.

| Got this from Kate
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

| Ang sarap talaga ng pancit canton. After watching Anak ng Tinapa at Dilim, maririnig mo ng kumakalam ang sikmura namin. Kaya derecho kami nila Liar at Stip sa 7-11 para bumili ng pagkain, dapat ready-to-eat food na lang like hotdog sandwich, pero dahil ilang linggo na akong nagke-crave ng pancit canton, ayun, bumili pa kami. Pagdating sa bahay, luto agad! Sarap, MSG galore!

Taken after the final rites of this semester's applicants of UP CAST. It was sort of reunion of k4_2001 na rin. There were around 25 new members for this semester, most of them are from UP FA.
----------
I had to leave the others behind who were still swimming and videoke-ing at the resort to go to UP to watch Live Aids, the annual show of Samaskom. Soph, Tris, Olai, Pau and James were already there when I arrived. Thanks to Soph who was already there at around 3pm to get the tickets for us and to queue so we could get nice seats at the Abelardo Hall. Winner ang upuan namin, parang 500 ang tickets namin!
We enjoyed the show, though there were some parts that were predictable. I liked last year's show than this one.
After the show, we just stayed outside the College of Music and repeated the memorable lines of the show, even after Pau and Olai said goodbye and went home. We were about to leave to go somewhere to eat when we heard a familiar voice, it was Rex. Hinahanap nya talaga kami kahit naka todo-make up pa sya at ang dami pang naglipanang tao just to thank us for coming. Nakaka-touch si bakla. Pero winner talaga sya, ang macho! Hehe, he was not just a performer, he's also one of the writers and part of other committees. I <3 Rex!!! =)
Had dinner at Shakey's Katipunan. At every 2 minutes yata, may natatawa sa aming apat, may naalalang joke from the show. Mukha kaming ewan dun, kwento ng kwento ng mga bagay na lahat naman kami nakapanood.
And the birthday song will never be the same again... hehe.
Pinaka-panalong line kagabi (at hindi sya galing sa show):
"Tris, twelve o'clock behind you" -- Soph, telling Tris to look at someone behind her.
----------
After the late dinner, went to QC circle to pick up some boys. Yes, boys. =) I picked-up not one but 4 - Bryan, LA, Sam and Deo. Nah, they are friends who after the final rites, went to another orgmate's house, para makiinom, tapos sa bahay makikitulog, just like the old times. Boarding house na naman ang bahay kagabi. Eya, Alina, Emel, AD and Pet followed.
peektyur muna bago umalis sina Eya at Alina
Then, Liar and Stephen followed, after some "raket" at Rockwell. Parang nasa live aids pa rin ako dahil sa kakatawa dahil sa mga baklang hirit ni LA. 5am na kami nakatulog tapos 7am gising na. Breakfast (hindi pansit canton kasi walang mabilhan) then kwentuhan ulit, tapos tulog ng 30mins. tapos umalis na sila.
Bukod sa pag-swim kahapon, ang dami ko rin sigurong na-burn na calories sa kakatawa. Mga 6 hours din na tawa yun pag pinagsama-sama!
I'll get more sleep... | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |

Kanina sa kalagitnaan ng meeting, initroduce ako nina Ate Anne at Ate Charis sa Franz Burgers. Masarap daw yun, grilled kasi. So we decided na magpadeliver. Habang tinitignan ang kanilang flyer, tinanong ni Ate Anne kung ang 150gms na patty ay kasing laki ng quarter pounder ng McDo (kasi 60 pesos lang yun sa Franz Burger). So for the first time since i don't know when, nagamit ang aking mathematical skills! Pero natagalan kami bago naanalyze ang lahat...tipong kung ang 1 kilo ay 2.2 pound, so gano nga kadami ang quarter of a pound? Pero nakuha ko naman ang sagot. I'm so happy.
Bakit ko 'to kinukwento? Kasi Genius daw ako pag dating sa math, sabi ng IQ test na yan.
Ang sagot nga pala, mas mabigat ang 150gms na Franz Burger patty kesa sa quarter pounder ng McDo. ;) At masarap nga ang burgers dun, mura pa! =)
-----------
Kahit parati kong joke na kaya ako na buti na lang masscomm ako kasi isa lang ang math, at kapag nangangati ako pag math na yung pinag-uusapan, love ko ang math. Lalo na ang geometry. Naalala ko dati, nakaperfect pa ako ng isang geometry quarterly exam noong grade school. E sa school ko nun, bihira ang makaperfect ng exams (puro essays/problems kasi). Kaya lalo kong minahal ang math. Kahit pa nakakuha ako ng 75% sa trigo quarterly exam nung highschool! E yun pa naman yung exam na alam kong marami akong tamang sagot. Kaya nung ibinabalik ang exam, confident ako na mataas ang grade ko, but no!!! 75% ang bumulaga sa akin. Kilala kasi na super hirap magbigay ng exam ang teacher namin noon. Buti na lang ayos pa rin ang final grade ko for that quarter.
Miss ko na ang math... | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |

| I was able to watch Pepot Artista, Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, Sarungbanggi and Lasponggols at Cineadarna last week. I was suppose to watch Roomboy last Wednesday and the six short films last Saturday but because of some things I’d rather not explain here because it will be too long, I wasn’t able to catch the screenings.
Anyway, everytime I go out of Cineadarna after every screening, the more I am inspired to make more films!
Penge pera?
----------
Among the four films, my favorite is Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros. Yung iba nabibigatan sa ending, pero ako hindi. Isa ‘to sa mga pelikula na wala akong sana-ganito-na-lang-yung-nangyari or mas-gusto-ko-na-ganito-na-lang blah blah… Gusto ko rin ang cinematog at ang PD.
At ang galing ni Ping! In fairness, magkamukha talaga sila ni Maxi, at ang daming fans ha! Pag litaw sa screen ng pangalan mo sa CBB ang daming pumalakpak. Sabi nga ni Tris, buong LJ community daw ay mukhang andun.
At ang last shot, panalo. Yun ang perfect visual ng linya ni Rex na, “Just for the record, I’m so over him.”
Yun talaga ang over.
----------
Isa sa pinaka-gusto ko sa pagpunta at panonood ng mga pelikula sa Cinemalaya ay madami akong nakikitang tao. Former and current crushes, mga matagal ng hindi nakikitang mga kaibigan, mga orgmates, mga taong bakit nagpakita pa, mga taong nakatrabaho na at sana makatrabaho ulit, mga dating kaklase, mga artista, mga direktor, at iba pa.
Kaya gusto kong maaga palagi eh. Saka buti may kasama ako para I-save ako sa pila or ng upuan kasi di ako mapakali, ikot ng ikot kung san san, tingin ng tingin sa mga tao. =)
Or baka dahil may hinahanap ako? | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| - Kahapon, lumusot sa bulsa ko ang cell phone ko at nahulog sa timba na puno ng malamig na tubig, tube ice at San Mig Light kung saan pinapalamig ng mga tito ko ang mga pang-inom nila. Buti na lang maraming tube ice at pumaibabaw lang ang cell phone ko, at yung likod na housing lang talaga ang nabasa. Kung walang tube ice, derecho iyon sa baba.
- Kanina, tatlong beses kong narinig ang kantang Para sa Masa ng Eraserheads, mula 8am – 1pm. Weird. At isang radio station lang yata yun. Memorable ang kantang yun sa akin. Kung pwede lang ay theme song namin yun sa thesis namin. Saka dapat intro yun ng thesis paper namin, kaso nawala na lang sa loob namin (siguro busy sa kakagawa ng acknowledgements e, hehe)
- Sawang sawa na ako sa “kelangan-pa-bang-imemorize-yan-radio-station”. Sa set yan palagi ang pinapakinggan. Tapos pati sa mga bus at jeep. Napaka-green pa ng jokes nila, tila ba nang-eencourage na mangaliwa ang mga mister. Kukurukuku. Shet, lubayan mo ako!!!!
- Narinig nyo na ba ang Filipino version ng “I believe” na kanta sa My Sassy Girl (hindi yan ang title alam ko, pero di ko maalala as of the moment e) na kinanta ni Jimmy Bondoc? Akala ko si LA Lopez ang kumakanta. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

Side A’s rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody left me awestruck for a couple of minutes. That alone is worth the entrance fee at that posh bar/resto. (Tinalo ang version namin ni Alina)
I shouldn't let these things pass withouth documenting it right? The thing is, I left my digicam at home while charging the batteries. Arrkk! I hurriedly left the house with Soph, Arjay and Pop that morning because I was quite running late for an appointment. Hay... of all the days to forget my digicam, it had to be this day...
Nonetheless, that lively performance is another reason why Side A is still one of my favorite bands up to now. | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| Related sa post na ito ni Bikoy...
yung ibang tao kasi makikitid ang utak, porket commercially released ang pelikula, feeling nila pangit na. porket may pelikulang narelease commercially ang isang director, nag sell out na ito. porket indie production ang isang pelikula, art film na kaagad ito, na maganda na.
Mas bilib nga ako sa mga direktor na kahit papaano ay nakakagawa ng magagandang pelikula kahit under ito ng isang production outfit. Dahil yung message nya, sabihin man natin nacompromise ito ng konti, at least naiparating pa rin nya sa mas nakakarami dahil narelease commercially ang film nya. kesa naman sa buo nga ang mensahe mo, hindi na-compromise, tapos ang makakapanood lang ng pelikula ay yung buong cast and crew saka mga kamag-anak at kaibigan mo, sayang naman...
para sa akin, ang paggawa ng pelikula ay paghatid ng mensahe sa mga tao, at hindi dahil lang sa gusto mong gumawa o iexpress ang sarili. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

- Back to the Manalo construction site ulit ako bukas, after 1 week na hindi nakakapunta/pinapapunta dun. Sana sa Friday papuntahin ako dun para pag nag fieldtrip sina Kir nandun ako.
- Nagtataka ako, tuwing papasok ko sa parlor/salon para magpagupit, derecho agad sa lababo para i-shampoo. Pagkatapos nun, kapag basa na ang buhok ko, saka pa lang ako makikita nung gugupit sa akin. Therefore, wala siyang ideya kung ano ang buhok ko kapag tuyo! So kahit sabihin pa niya na maganda yung style na gagawin niyang gupit sa buhok ko, e wala pa ring kwenta dahil baka naman hindi bumagay yun sa buhok ko kapag tuyo na. Arkk. Kaya sa susunod na magpapagupit ako, sisiguraduhin kong nakita muna ng gugupit ang buhok ko ng tuyo, para alam nya na pasaway ito.

|
| I accompanied my Vilmanian-mother to the Gawad Plaridel 2005 at UP this afternoon.
To give you an idea of how vilmanian mama is, well, she has this two thick scrapbooks full of pictures and articles of Vilma Santos. Her high school autograph books were full of pictures of Ate Vi and Bobot Mortiz, instead of pictures of those who signed up.
At lagi kong joke na napagkaitan ako ng childhood dahil kay Vilma. Dahil katapat ng show ni Vilma sa channel 7 yata ang Power Rangers, Ewoks, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, etc sa channel 2. Ako lang yata ang bata na hindi nanonood ng mga shows na ito tuwing Friday night. Kaya tuwang-tuwa ako dati kapag naririnig ko na famous line ni Ate Vi na, "I love you Lucky!" dahil ibig sabihin nun, malilipat ko na sa ibang channel ang TV.
And just recently, I found out my mom availed of Globe's CelebRATE promo. Nakapagregister sya without seeking my help, na kadalasan yun ang nangyayari dahil may pagka technopobic din sya e. Sabi ko, ang bilis nya, porket si Ate Vi ang endorser.
At napuntahan na nya ang bahay ni Ate Vi somewhere in Greenmeadows. Ewan ko kung bakit at kung pinapasok ba sila. Nakalimutan ko na ang kwento e.
Anyway, we arrived at the CineAdarna a little past 2 o'clock. The program had started, good thing we arrived in time for Dean's speech. CineAdarna was jampacked! Wala na kaming naupuan.
When the program ended, akala ko aalis na kami. But no! Inantay pa ni mama na makalabas si Ate Vi. E syempre may mga interviews pa, so natagalan pa. Di nakatiis si mama, lumapit at kinunan ng picture si Ate Vi gamit ang kanyang camera phone. At nung nalaman na dala ko pala ang digital cam namin, hindi ako tinantanan. Piktyuran ko daw si Ate Vi. At ayaw ng isa lang, damihan ko daw, kaya hanggang sa sumasakay ng sasakyan nya si Ate Vi, pinipiktyuran ko saya. Natatawa ako habang kumukuha ng pictures, dahil dumadaloy pa rin pala kay mama ang dugong Vilmanian kahit ang tagal tagal na.
Umuwi kaming parang nasa langit si mama dahil nakamayan pa nya si Vilma Santos.

“Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”

I just had to post these lines from the book, "The Prophet". I got it as a present from Chim on my 17th birthday, and it was only just last week that I picked it up and seriously began reading it. It is not as philosophical and hard to understand as I thought it was 3 years ago, when I skimmed through the first pages of the book.

| "And think, not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and gibe thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips."

| Sabi ko hindi na ako pupunta sa Fete dahil for sure next year meron pang Fete, pero yung overnight kasama ang mga blockmates, mahirap ng maulit dahil kung sang lupalop na napapadpad ang iba.
Sabi ko hindi na ako magdadala ng damit na pang-Fete para hindi ako maaya.
Several generations of CASTpers at Fete
Pero di ko alam kung anong nangyari, basta nag-Fete pa rin ako. Kahit ganun lang ang suot ko, para akong pupunta sa shoot, naka flip flops lang ako. At hindi ko pinagsisisihang nagpunta ako dun. Ang daming tao, ang daming kakilala, at syempre andun din sya... I hope we can get to bond over patis again. =)

| It was Toni’s birthday, despedida for Memoy since she’ll be leaving for the States the next day (and who knows when she’ll be back), and welcome-party-and-despidada-at-the-same-time for Yam (who after staying in Manila for 5 days, is now back in Davao).
We played some games. Good thing Eya’s parents and siblings were not there, because we were roaring with laughter. For sure, dinig hanggang attic yun.
But when Memoy started giving us letters and gifts, melancholy started to sink in. Totoo na ‘to. Mababawasan na talaga kami ng isa, well, physically. Nakangiti kaming bumabay pero pagkatapos ng ngiti, buntong hininga ang kasunod.
Memoy, kita-kita sa dulo… =.( | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| Last Monday, I went to Quiapo to buy a spare battery for our DVX camera. I went to different stores only to find out that there is only one store that has that kind of battery. So much for canvassing. Anyway, my charms did not work for the tindera did not allow me to make tawad. (I sound so conyo!)
I also went to the bead shop Eya and I used to go to during the time we were selling dangling earrings. Upon entering, I was amazed with all sorts of beads and new designs. I could not resist buying a pair of white dangling earrings for mama (for mama daw o!)
Just for the experience, I ate at one of the food stalls there – wherein the pansit bihon, pansit malabon, pansit palabok, etc. are placed in a basin and from there, the tindera will get a heaping serving when a customer orders. (Good luck sa hepa!)
Then I just realized, I have been going to Quiapo for the past 4 years and I haven’t been inside the church. So I went inside, to see the mandarasal and of course, to pray.
Quiapo experience will never be complete without going to Arlegui to buy some DVDs. Before going there, I told myself I will only buy 300 peso worth of DVDs, but who could resist this?
8 films of the Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa in one set. =)
So there, I went home with less money on my pockets. But the film major in me was very happy and excited to go home and be in front of the TV. | | comments: 11 comments or Leave a comment |

Last Friday, I went to an orgmate's debut. Its been a while since I attended debuts. I just missed getting the invitations, worrying what to wear and what gift to give, getting dressed up, practicing the lines for my 18 candles/gifts speech, etc.
Puro mga bata ang kasama ko, pero ayos lang. I still enjoyed the night. Certified-MCOers nga sila, dahil hindi kumpleto ang gabi kung walang photo op.
During the celebration, i cannot help but miss the people whom I went with to Kit's debut 2 years ago. We got dressed in the same house, kaya major gulo, curling iron there, pamplantsa ng buhok here, make-up ang gowns everywhere! Kaya ayun, 2 hours late, pero we had a blast. Highlight of the night was the photo op at the grand staircase. Feeling mga model.
Soph, hindi kaya ang susunod na formal event na pupuntahan natin ay kasal na? Hmmm... sa mga debuts na lang tayo! Hehe... | | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment |

| Naglinis ako ng kwarto ko ngayon. Actually, matagal na kong nagsimulang maglinis, pero kanina lang natapos. Hindi lang kasi basta basta linis ang ginawa ko, kung hindi yung college-is-over-therefore-I-can-put-away-my-school-stuff linis.
Sa paglipas ng mga taon, ang dami ko ng naipon at naitago. Mula sa importanteng mga bagay tulad ng high school newspapers kung saan may mga artikulo akong naisulat, certificate of participation ng isang debate seminar, mga pictures para sa aming engagement game nung high school (kung saan magpapanggap kami na may asawa, tapos ang mga babae ay magbibitbit ng itlog sa eskwela para kunyari sila ay bunits, tapos nun ay manika naman pagkatapos ng siyam na lingo) hanggang sa mga kababawan tulad ng flag na ginamit namin nung HS intrams, tickets sa sine, concert at premier nights, balat nung kendi na binigay sa kin nung crush ko at marami pang iba.
At syempre mas marami ang college stuff – pictures nung thesis, CR101 research, readings, readings, readings, UAAP ticket, invites sa batch pres ng mga MCO applicants, org pix, souvenir ng mga kaibigan kong nagdebut, notes na alam kong masarap balik balikan sa hinaharap, mga librong di pa nababasa, atbp. Kapag nakakakita naman ako ng mga sulat at cards mula sa mga blockmates/friends, mapa-birthday ko man o Pasko, o kahit wala lang talaga, di ko mapigilan na hindi basahin. Meron tungkol sa pagtatapos ng kauna-unahang prod, merong tungkol sa pag-aaway, pagbabalik ng pagkakaibigan, lovelife, at mga bagay na minsan ay wala ng kapararakan. Yung iba naman ay isinulat habang nabo-bore sa klase.
Yung iba sa mga bagay na ito ay pinagtatapon ko na tulad ng mga gift tags na ang nakalagay lang naman ay happy birthday, at lalo na yung mali ang pangalan ko, saka yung mga bagay na hindi ko na matandaan ngayon kung bakit ko tinago. May ilang bagay din na ipapamigay ko na lang tulad ng ilang pang-display na figurines dahil hindi ko na sya feel. I’ve outgrown them probably. Pero yung mga bagay na kahit 10 years from now, matatandaan ko pa rin ang alaalang kalakip ng bagay na yun, nilagay ok sa mga kahon at itinabi.
At dahil sa paglilinis na ito, mas lalo ko ng nadarama na tapos na talaga ang buhay kolehiyo. Ready na ngayon ang aking mesa para sa kung ano mang trabaho ang iuuwi ko at ipapatong ko sa kanya. (Hmmm, makes me think, ano nga kayang trabaho yun?) | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Thursday: My dad was able to get three free tickets to Ashanti’s concert at Araneta. So kahit hindi ko masyadong feel si Ashanti, sige na rin. I went with my cousins, Mara and April. She performed for less than an hour. Just when I thought the concert is reaching the exciting part, she said thank you and left the stage. Buti na lang libre ang tickets namin at buti na lang okay ang front acts (Kyla and her fabulous rendition of Emotions, and then Akafellas, then this April girl)
Friday: We (me, my cousins, mama and my tito) accompanied Lola Oyie to Lola Lydia's (her friend since their college days) 80th birthday party at her house in Las Piñas. While eating, Lola Lydia shared some stories when they were still in college, how they would knock the biology charts inside their classrooms then run para hindi mahuli ng mga profs, etc. Mga pilya rin daw sila nung kapanahunan nila. Nakakatuwa silang mag-usap. At kahit matatanda na sila at may sari-sariling buhay, at malayo ang mga bahay nila, up to date pa rin sa buhay ng isa’t isa. Nakakagulat kasi ang daming alam ni Lola Lydia tungkol sa akin. Nakwento na pala ni Lola.
Kaninong apo kaya yung makakakwentuhan ko 60 years from now?
Saturday and Sunday: Meteor Garden marathon!!!! Yes, it is only now that I get bitten by the meteor bug. Hindi ko pa tapos, nasa disc11 pa lang ako ng season 1 pero enjoy. I *heart* Hua Tze Lei even more! Sana may ganun din ako... Watched Madagascar too. Very funny (although mababaw ang istorya, unlike other animated films na kahit pambata, malalim pa rin ang kwento). LSS ang “I’d like to move it move it!”
Monday: Sa wakas, natuloy din ang 1 buwan ng pinaplanong lunch out with HS friends.

At ang greenhills, sobrang ibang-iba na. Wala na ang creek kung san kami tumatambay nung Highschool, ang KFC kung san kami palaging napapadpad kapag nag-aaway away na kung san kakain after school. Maliligaw na yata ako sa mall kung saan eh halos araw araw yata for 7 years of my school life ay nandun ako.
Nakaka-miss ang greenhills. Gusto ko pa sanang maglibot kaso kailangan ko ng umalis. And as if my pockets would allow me! | | comments: 10 comments or Leave a comment |

Day One: Kaming tatlo lang nila mommy Eya at Bry ang nandun sa bahay ng grandma ni Eya. Nangulit kami ng nangulit ng mga tao para sumunod, pero karamihan, di nagrereply. So we just spent the whole afternood talking about a variety of topics. From grade school/highschool memories to national geographic, to politics, to technological advancements, o di ba, ang intelektwal?! Tapos Soph texted, susunod daw sila nila Rex, Arjay and Dea. Pero nakapag-dinner na kami ng famous at fabulous binalot ni Grandma at nakapag-wash-up na at nakatulog na, wala pa rin sila. Around 11pm, tumatawag na si Soph dahil malapit na sila, so nag-abang ako sa may gate. Ang dilim ng paligid, wala ng dumadaan kahit mga tao (looban kasi). Tapos habang kausap ko si Soph para sa directions, may mama na um-appear from the dark! At papalapit sa akin. Scary! Buti nagsalita ang mama, si Stephen lang pala. Aba sumunod din nang hindi nagsasabi. Kaya ayun, nawala ang antok namin at nagkwentuhan/tawanan/takutan pa hanggang 2am na yata.
Day Two: Nag-Uno stacko, mahjong (sanay na ako, thanks to my tutors) at pusoy dos lang kami (dare lang ang parusa, walang perang involved noh). Buong araw yun. Lumabas lang kami para mag-lunch (at sa McDo pa!) at magphoto op with the lake as our background. Tapos uwi agad para ituloy ang pag-mamahjong at pusoy dos. At dahil nagugutom, namitas kami ng mangga sa mga punong katabi lang ng kalsada. Buti hindi bawal, or hindi lang kami nahuli? Hanggang gabi, yun lang ang ginagawa namin, mahjong at pusoy dos at kumain ng mangga hanggang sa mag-dinner. By 9pm, nilabas na ni Soph ang tinimpla nyang dalandan gin, pero isang pitsel lang, so pakonti-konti lang para naman tumagal. At nagsimula na ang aming tanungan portion (read:retreat care of Rev. Arjay Arellano).
Day Three: Uno stacko, mahjong, pusoy dos, kain at tulog. O di ba? The ultimate bum experience. Ay, may kulang pa pala. Inisin si Rex. Since Day One, part na ito ng activities. =) Ang manalo sa mahjong, sya ang maliligo, kaya it took us 4 hours bago natapos maligo ang lahat. Nagsiksikan kaming pito sa kotse ni Soph (naiwan na si Eya). Tapos sa Mushroom Burger kami naglunch! Sarap, kaso bitin sa mga nagugutom naming sikmura.
Hinatid namin si Dea, kaso bago lumiko sa subdivision nila, nakita namin ang Figaro kaya nag-crave kami for coffee. E mga walang pera, kaya kina Dea na lang. Pero hindi lang coffee ang inoffer sa amin kung hindi Yellow Cab pizza, spaghetti, orange juice, coffee, cookies, chocolates, cake, VCDs, comic books at free internet access. Spoiled to death! Kala nyo wala ng Bibat Hall? Meron pa. Iba nga lang ang tawag - Bibat House!
Pwede naman mag-Uno stacko/mahjong/pusoy dos/takutan at kwentuhan sa bahay di ba? Pero ewan, iba pa rin kapag nasa malayo ka e. Masabi lang na nag-Tagaytay! =) | | comments: 14 comments or Leave a comment |

| One sunny afternoon, I sat on a corner at the 11th floor of some building in Pasig while waiting for everyone to finish setting-up the lights so we could start shooting. Before me was an amazing view of Ortigas: the cars, the buildings, people walking in the scorching heat of summer. I took them in while I sat on the cushioned sofa, one leg in the armrest, listening to Macy Gray’s songs. I looked to the right and saw the building- the building that we saw from the sixth floor of our school where we usually hung out in between classes; the building that you promised to copy and build just for me, but this time it’d be inverted ( I don’t know just how you plan to do it); the building that summarizes your dreams to become an architect/engineer someday;
Looking at that building reminds me of all the good memories we shared. Yes, only good ones. Even if there are a lot of things left unsaid, questions left unasked, feelings left unexpressed, I am happy and contented with what has happened between us after the last time that we saw each other. We may have lost the regular contact but I am happy because I know that you, wherever corner in Metro Manila you are, know that I am here for you. I have always been.
No matter what, the friendship remains. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| UP-MCO's sem ender (May 13, 2005)
Bago kami mag-swimming. Mga 11:00am na rin kami nakarating sa resort ng Tita ko sa Valenzuela dahil ang tagal dumating ng iba sa meeting place (At ang tagal magpaconvince nung iba, hehe).
Sa likod-bahay namin kung saan kami nag-inuman (hindi daw umiinom yung iba, pero maya-maya hindi na natiis ang coke with tequila with calamnsi extract na tinimpla namin) at nag-videoke from 8:30pm until 7:30am! Grabe, sulit ang arkila sa videoke. Kahit umuulan at medyo nababasa na kami, kahit kumukulog at kumikidlat, tuloy pa rin ang kantahan!
Ito pala ang lihim na sinasabi ni Jerick. (Wala akong scanner kaya pinicture-an ko na lang). Ito pala yung gift ng mga bata sa aming mga thunders nakaka-graduate lang. Ang cute, sobra. Natuwa kaming lahat. Sa mga wala dun, kunin nyo na lang kay Tips yung sa inyo ;)
Sa bawat mukhang nandyan ay may kalakip na masayang alaala. Salamat. | | comments: 13 comments or Leave a comment |
| Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

| Pagkatapos ilawan ni Bryan ang huling eksena sa pelikula ni Alina na pinamagatang 3some, umuwi na kami. Sakay ko sina Toni, Liar at Bryan. Mga 12:30am na nun. Hinatid namin si Toni sa UP Village. Sa philcoa, imbes na dumerecho kami sa Commonwealth Avenue ay lumiko kami sa University Avenue.
“Wag muna tayong umuwi,” sabi ko.
At payag naman ang dalawa, na sa bahay namin makikitulog sa gabing yun. At ayun na nga, ang pinakahihintay na UP joyride.
“Say the first thing that comes to your mind pagdaan natin sa bawat building.”
Kumanan kami sa dulo ng Univ. Ave. At wala ng katapusan ang daldalan, ang paghalukay sa utak para sa natatanging memorya ng dinadala ng bawat building o kahit na sulok lang ng UP na madaanan – ang magsyota na kakilala ko na nagde-date sa Vargas Museum, ang UPCAT exam ni Liar sa Econ, ang Comm3 at Span10-11 ko sa AS, ang Anthro 123 presentation sa CAL AVR, ang shoot ni Bry ng "Paghihintay" sa Eng’g shed, at sangkatutak na iba pa. Kahit tatlo lang kami, hindi kami halos magkarinigan. Pero paglagpas ng College of Music, bigla kaming natahimik. Natanaw na namin ang MassComm...
Naka-ilang ikot din kami, sa acad oval, sa ruta ng Ikot jeep, sa may Yakal at iba pang dorms, basta kung saan-saan, ikot lang ng ikot.
Pero gustuhin man naming manatili sa kakaikot, kinailangan na naming lumabas ng UP Campus.
----------
Dahil kinakailangan ng mga shots ng American icons para sa AVP nung call center, nagshoot na naman kami. Joyride ulit, this time kaming tatlo nila Kuya Junn at Ate Anne ang sakay ng kotse nila.
Mula sa office ng PB sa Cubao hanggang sa Buendia, papuntang Roxas Boulevard, tapos namali kami ng daan kaya napadpad kami sa Diosdado Macapagal Ave kung saan kami nag-dinner tapos EDSA ulit hanggang Ortigas tapos Libis. Ikot ng konti sa Eastwood tapos Katipunan. Duon ang huling shot tapos uwian na.
Pagdating sa may dulo ng Visayas Avenue, hala brownout sa Tandang Sora. E mag-isa lang akong matutulog sa bahay nun dahil sila mama ay nasa Valenzuela na. So good luck, first time kong mag-iisa, brownout pa! Since si Ate Anne ay maiiwan lang din mag-isa sa bahay dahil may meeting pa si Kuya Junn somewhere, nagsama na lang kaming dalawa sa bahay.
So yun nga ang nangyari. At dahil hindi pa raw nila nakikita si Mama, pinakita ko, pagkapasok pa lang ng bahay, ang family picture namin na kinunan nung debut ko. Aba, inanalyze nilang mag-asawa. Ang complexion ko daw ay nakuha kay mama (check!), ang ilong ay kay mama (ngayon ko lang napagtanto ito…) at ang smile ko daw at mga mata ay kay papa (hmmm, oo nga noh…). So alam nyo na kung san nakuha nag y!m smile ko. Hehe…
Ang daming napagkwentuhan over a cup of hot green tea and candles everywhere – love story nila, pagtitipid/pag-iipon at disiplina, epekto ng cellphones at text messaging sa disiplina ng tao, yung mga larong kalye nung bata pa tayo compared sa playstation games ng mga bata ngayon (imagine, instead na ibang bata ang ka-interact nila, PC or TV ang kaharap nila!). Nagkakuryente na at lahat, kwentuhan pa rin. Di namin namalayan 12:00 am na pala. After 20 minutes or so, sinundo na rin siya ni Kuya Junn.
I so ♥ long talks. Don’t you? (Syempre given na na gusto ko ang kausap ko, dahil kung hindi, hindi magiging long yun di ba?) ;) | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| Hindi ako nag-apply. Nandun ako sa isang call center sa Pasig dahil gumagawa ang Pitik Bulag ng isang corporate AVP at hiniram ang camera namin.
Unang beses ko pa lang nun sa isang call center. I must say ang ganda ng interiors nila. Makulay ang workstations. Marami ang mga paintings na nakasabit sa mga dingding. Ang holding room nila ay may tv na may cable at billiards. Kaya tuwing break, ang mga manong cineforce, si Kuya boom at ang iba pang staff ay naglalaro habang ang iba nama’y nanonood ng National Geographic sa TV. Ang cafeteria naman nila ay kulay orange at purple, at may bottomless iced tea at orange juice (eto lang daw ang call center na nagbibigay ng libreng pagkain sa mga agents nila).
Three-day shoot yun. Pero kung tutuusin ay hindi lang three days, dahil mula Tuesday hanggang Saturday ay nandun kami dahil inuumaga na minsan ang shoot. (At may pahabol pang isang shooting day, see my joyride entry na to follow)
Hindi ko na ikukwento ang mga nangyari, kasi medyo madami-dami. Pero eto na lang ang mga quotable quotes mula sa iba’t ibang call center agents:
“Here we are thought how to pronounce word properly.”
-- When asked about their American accent training (naka-take 3 kami pero duy, walang pinag-bago ang sentence nya!)
“So paano ang deliverance nun?”
-- When asked to say the word TRUST in front of the camera (deliverance, ano daw yun? Ah, baka pinsan ng delifrance!)
“Hello good morning, this is Anne Curtis calling for inmyzip.”
-- Sabi ng isang agent sa kausap nya. Kamusta naman Anne Curtis?!
----------
Dahil nahirapan akong magkabit/magtanggal ng wide lens/anti-haze filter/matte box at kung anu-ano pang accessories ng camera nakaimbento kami ni Kuya Wawel ng isang Mini Olympics for Film Majors (halatang walang magawa habang nagte-take). Maraming events, tulad ng paunahang ikabit ang tamang lens sa camera given a certain situation in one minute (ngunit ang raw materials mo lamang ay maraming eyeglasses) at madami pang iba. May pang individual, may pang group at bawat aspeto ay present. Di ko na ididivulge dito, baka manakaw ang ideas (wish ko lang! Wahehe!)
Happee. Na-drain ako sa kakaisip ng bagong events at sa kakatawa (at sa pagpipigil ng tawa). =) Pero si Kuya Wawel mataas pa rin ang energy kahit madaling araw na . (Kaya ka po siguro nagkasakit noh?) | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| There’s so many things that happened in the past two weeks. I was in a shoot for 5 consecutive days, got to rest on Saturday. Then it was my cousin’s birthday party/grad blowout last Sunday. Then when the day was about to end, my grandaunt, Lola Narda passed away. Since that night until yesterday (burial day) puyat palagi dahil sa lamay. Tapos shoot ulit ngayon, may 5 hour break lang kaya umuwi muna ako.
For now, ito muna ang ikukwento ko. I feel I need a day in front of the PC to write everything I would want to put in this Livejournal. At next week na lang yun dahil MCO semender bukas hanggang sa Saturday. =) A much needed break.

Monday: CBN Asia rented our camera. And since there’s nothing to do, I went with the cam as the official caretaker. The day before, I asked my ninong to once and for all teach me the technicalities of the cam. (Yes, alam ko na ngayon ang auto zoom at bakit hindi pwede mag auto focus pag naka 24p). The PM told me when I asked what time would they pick us up that the call time of the drivers and service was 6am. So I thought they’d be here at around 7am. So by 5:30am I was up, took a bath, fixed everything and waited for his call. He did, only to tell me that they’d pick me up at around 11am. Hay, mahirap talaga maghintay sa akala mong darating na. (Shux, ang lalim, ulitin natin…) Mahirap talaga maghintay sa akala mong darating na.
By 12pm, we were in Makati, picking up the equipment. Kinabahan ako kala ko si Kuya *** ang kasama. Buti hindi. Later on, na-realize ko, shux, ka-level ko this time sila kuya/manong. O well, kesa naman bum sa bahay…
By 1:30pm, we arrived at a studio in Taytay, Rizal. Got introduced to some of the crew (ang gugwapo nung iba!), but until this point, I still do not have any idea what we (or they?) are doing. I just saw a mirror in the middle of the stage and a person, a girl behind it, and someone giving her instructions. Then Mr. PM came up to me and said, “Nga pala, we are shooting a testimony and Kitchie is our talent.”
I was starstruck. Ewan ko kung bakit, to think na nakita ko na naman sya sa MTV Music Summit. Siguro dahil sobrang addicted ako ngayon sa Same Ground (na LSS ko pag punta dun) at siguro dahil hindi ko ineexpect na may “star” akong makikita sa shoot na yun. At ang catch pa dun, there was a scene where she’ll sing. At kinanta ang Same Ground. She was just 3 meters from me. Happy! Feeling ko parang private concert.
At isa pang catch dun, nandun si Kuya *** sa location. Nauna na pala. Marami naman sigurong crew diba? Pero bakit siya lagi ang nakikita namin? But this time, medyo bumait na sya, pero di pa rin maalis yung mga pinag-gagagawa nya sa amin nung internship.
