..keeping myself busy at all cost..
March 26, `05This is the only year where I celebrated Easter with meaning. Attending the Easter Vigil Mass and what they call the
Salubong til 1am isn't the type of celebration i'd find myself in it. But this year made an exception.
Thanks to my choirprac, i've experienced this once a year celebration of the Lord's resurrection. At first, a mass was held at the Parish. My sister participated in the choir... and even got a solo part on the responsorial psalm!
Ayos! ;p then I saw Portia with her fam. I sure got excited when I saw her... :) its as if we didnt see each other for a long time. Well, yeah... anyway, I went outside cuz it was freakin hot in there. The crowd was in deep impact on a standing position soo there was no way for me to last there inside. I went out with my friend
Bencelle and joined the others. Made chika with Kuya Jor-El ... te Mae, made kulitan with Kuya Jun.. and the rest of the choir. After the 2-hour mass... The traditional
Salubong was held and right then and there,
i've witnessed the rapelling angel uncovering the sheets placed on Mama Mary's...
There were also bloopers that made us enjoy watching the scene... then I even got a flower from the showering of blessings. After that, the most beautiful and enjoying part arrived... The fireworks... We shouted at the top of our voices as we greet everyone a Happy Easter; although sun's network were having problems again. Then it was already 2 in the morning.. I accompanied my sister to her choir's bldg. and changed.. took a few snacks, then we're off. A fellow colleague of mine Isobel offered us a ride. It was very nice of her to drop us off at our house.
Due to my obsession, I didn't sleep yet. Instead, I downloaded some of the episodes again and even watched one... Til I fell deep.
It was great night for me... a great experience.. and a great time with my friends. Thanks guyz! you're the best! ;)
..SMPYC..
simple yet wonderful people :)
^
BTW.. thanks
Maian for the pics! love yah! ;)
haha mga pawis at makikintab ang muka!March 27, `05Just another boring day... then at 6, I prepared myself for the mass. About the mass... hmm...
dami bloopers grabe... Well, there's always a next time. After that, we ate outside then to G4. My mom bought me
CHOCO ROCKS!!! :D wahaha... mmmm.... then we watched Ms. Congeniality 2. The seat assigned to me was
L28 waha.. my mom chose the seats while we were buying candies soo I guess it was merely coincedence. The movie was ok but I find the first one better.
magkatext din kami.. ;) hehehe But my thrill again was the first one who snoozed off. As for me, I still watched an episode of Smallville. Then too... deeply fell in slumber.
March 28, `05
hmm.. Happy? hehehe but I'm still hoping we could talk so we can clear everything. Besides that, it was just another boring day for me. The perfect word to describe me todeii.. a
couch potato.. haii.. But I dared myself to sleep early tonight. 11's not bad right? im just gonna finish this entry then im off.. Btw.. thanks again
Cha for listening out...
iba nga talaga tong summer na toh.. hahaha dapat ok.. ;p Thanks for helping!! ;) mwah!
Anyway.. im ending this... I feel tired already, I just hope it won't be that
BORING tomorrow...
Signing off...

..crossroads..
For the past few days, this world of mine turned upside down as the sands of time brought me back to the past I once tried to conceal. The last night I retained this facade was the night before Maundy Thursday. Things were apparently normal as I text with everyone else including .... I finished downloading Smallville episodes and snoozed off til my gramps called me up and asked if I wanted to go with him for the bisita iglesia... At first I hesitated cuz I really lacked sleep... but then again, I realized how much I owed
"HIM" since I had so many shortcomings especially when it comes to prioritizing
HIM first. And I missed bonding with my gramps... hehe soo I went with them.
The journey felt like a quest. It had reasons behind it. For every church you enter, it's as if you can really feel the misery
HE enveloped in order to save us all. But with this experience, I can say I really enjoyed what I was doing. I was reading with my gramps's Handbook of Prayers alternately with my 6 year old cuz... It was cute watching 3 age-gapped people reading passages altogether without thinking of anything else. You can feel the solitude of one's mind and heart, sincerely dedicating this sacrifice to HIM. But the real passion didn't start here. It started at
KFC. hehehe
My gramps treated us out for lunch after the bisita iglesia. As I eat my piece, the background music raptured this spell that made me stared point-blank out of thin air; Outspoken, blunt, and yes... candid. After that, my gramps began calling my name bringing me back to the real world I was sitting in. After the song, another one was played that really swooned me out. I felt as if it was unlocking the door that was once closed, that shouldn't be opened again. Since I can't get it off my head, I sent a message for evasion. But, it actually didn't. It brought me back to the ground that I once contrived with difficulty and pain. But I didn't land to that actual place. I landed somewhere pleasant. Of course, the questions didn't escape this conversation. We opened up a few things and cleared unanswered ones. But
THANKS TO SUN'S INCONVENIENCE (curse you!!) we were unable to answer other impt. ones. So for the daily routine, I watched smallville til it was very late and slept in the couch.
It was Good Friday then when my mom woke me up early and told me to take a bath cuz we were going to Tagaytay. I sat at the back with my sister... we fetched Tito Arnie's sons in Makati and ate breakfast at Shell Select's Hen Lin's along the highway. I needed to load for my sun since it was running out of credits for other networks. Unfortunately, they ran out of stock... So i decided to load up my globe nalang... we communicated the whole day, reminisced and talked about some serious stuffs. Btw.. I went
OYABAK RIDING in Tagaytay!! whuhoo!! haha.. its been a long time since I rode one na kasi soo I dared myself to ride one again. (Pics: to be updated soon... hehehe) We ate at Leslie's and then chilled off at Starbucks...
macchiatto.... Then went back to Manila.
As I lie down in my bed, staring at the four corners of my room, I began reflecting... about the 2 days that happened to me lately, the amercement of history... and of course.. the status of the present. My thrill.. My wonderwall.. these feelings won't change...
But the real challenge i've discovered is that... I've placed myself now in the middle of a crossroad, one road leads to the past, I guess its purpose is to rebuild wounded memorias and to learn more of our mistakes. And the other leads to the unknown... a life in the present that keeps me alive and optimistic everyday... I am happy with both.
The answer to that is yet to be uncovered. For me, the best way is to balance everything first and look deep within your thoughts to discover the truth. Balance every situation you've been through, be it happy, depressing, painful, or pleasant. And in that way, the results will come out reliable, vital, and the way which will pull you out of this word...
regret.
My post ends here... Btw.. I didn't eat meat!! whohoo!! I was able to control temptation! haha anyway.. im Signing off... things won't change here. Whatever life I have in the present... I'm still living with it.

Bad Habit by Destiny's Child
How many times
Are you gonna apologize about the same thing
And how many times can I take you back
When I'm not the one that's doin' wrong(When I'm not the one that's doin' wrong, yeah)
I thought maybe if I started prayin'
That we would get better, but
When I would pray the answer would always come back to me bein'done
But we are so hard headed when we're in love
So I
[Chorus]
I told myself that I would make some changes
But the more I change there's one thing that remains the same
I can't seem to shake ya
You seem to really have a hold on me
And everytime that we break up
We turn around and make up
This can't go on now I gotta move on now
It's not the fact that I don't love you no more
But I gotta break this bad habit
Can't take his bad habit no more
I'm totally out of my element
Learnin' new ways to live, while you're in a comfort zone
Not even thinkin, (you couldn't think about me) to call
And then when I get mad you buy me gifts
Thinkin' it's gonna solve every issue
From the girl callin my phone, to the pictures that I saw
And every time you would break up with me for nothing at all
I've takin all I could take (I've takin all I could take)
But the way I live has gotta change, oh
[Chorus]
Let me break it down
Have you ever loved somebody
So much that you was just to blind to see
Past, all of the pain they was causin' you
Ladies do you feel me (do you feel me)
Have you ever loved somebody
So much that you went against the right things that you should do
Then it's time to make a change
So I
[Chorus]
-- Haii.. Valene recommended this song to me.. and showed me the highlighted parts cuz that's the line I can really relate to.. :c Geez.. I hope it won't happen again..
..funville..
I woke up at 8 and forgot that I was supposed to prepare cuz I'm only hitching with Ate Len to drop me off at Gen's house.. todo madali toh.. hehehe We went to the bank first.. then to NBS.. then at Gen's place..'maawa naman kayo ng onting awa...'
It's like we were all contaminated with that kind of expression... c/o Kate.. who unfortunately didn't make it...
At first, we were kinda lost cuz we didn't really have any idea where to eat... Til we decided to eat at Mcdo Tomas... :D almost everyone ate cheeseburger and fries except for Binkeee... Takaw nga daw nila eh.. hehehe kasama na pala ko dun! ;p Pero eh.. Gen moved and sat with Binky soo I can sit with .... hehehehe layo mo naman.. lapit ka ng onting lapit.. ;p When we were almost done.. kwentuhan sessions.. then we left.. Next Stop! 7 - Eleven
Gen ran out of credits soo we headed for 7-Eleven. We didn't have the urge for slurpee yet since we were all full.. then.. scanned for some stuffs.. and left.
..low-batt na kaming lahat..
Kwentuhan sessions again. Aya was supposed to be the first one to go since her time was only alloted til 1. Unexpectingly, Binky was suddenly fetched by her mom sooo she didn't have any choice but to go.
The hot swinging air scattered around the room decelarated our energy, filling the empty air with silence. I really felt that they were bored, tired , and sleepy. I couldn't take the heat anymore soo I asked them if they wanna buy slurpee.. Cecille agreed.. agad. hehehe
Unfortunately, Aya's sundo was there. Patawa pa nga si Natz eh! hehehe then we bought slurpee.. Then, back to Gen's house again! ;)
Gen's bro was soo hilarious!! everytime he dances the spaghetti song.. with matching eyes pa! we all burst out with laughter! kwentuhan sessions part III then Jewel arrived to pick them up.
.. Date kami ni Cecille ..
We first planned on going back at 7 - Eleven pero utang na loob! la na kami magawa dun.. So I asked her out to eat isaw at Nadine's place. With the right timing, we saw Nadine there and bonded as if there was no tomorrow. We ate isaw and of course.. kulitan with nadz.. kwento about .... , colleges, barx, etc. I really missed you MAMAMADZ!!! I really miss my classmates.. MGA BOBO!! miss you all... :c
Anyway, I forgot my curfew and decided to find a cab. But before that, Cecille and I bonded first til I really felt that I was going to be scolded again. I dropped Cecille off to her house and headed home.
Another adventure was held and i'm glad I wouldn't consider this as another boring day. Thanks Gen, Natz, Binkeee, Aya, and Cecille! I had a great time with you guyz.. ehehe
Gen -- easy lang with chiu-me.. :) hehehe and n.. :p
Natz -- sabi sayo kayo nalang ni Gen eh! haha bagay kayo.. ;p
kainggit naman mga nasa subic ngayon!! haha
Binky -- thanks for the pic! :) pero eh.. basa padin paa mo.. jabar!! ahaha at least di sa kilikili.. ;p
Cecille -- MATON!!!! wahaha thanks sobra!! had fun.. pero eh.. sagot ko din dapat yung PopCola!! btw.. sumakto lahat nung coins dun sa cab!! haha galing...
Aya -- sa wakas nakita ko na rin yung diatabs!! haha patawa talaga.. sana umeasy sila ng onting easy! haha ingat pala sa trip nyu sa Batangas.. ;D
My entry ends here.. I had a great time with these people. Thanks again! ;) mwah!!

..a perfect moment out of this world-weary days..
Today is a very special day for me... Why? ohh nothing much.. :)1 - a celebration for the rebirth of an undying circle of friendship that binds 7 different people into 1 unstoppable league.
Happy Tropa Bentedos!! :)
..T.22.. incomparable.. irreplacable.. Just the best.. ;)
2 - a celebration for the facade unmasked due to the process of cynicism marked in this once gray-faced vigilante. The day where its thoughts were waiting to be set free from restraint. And yes... The start of a new life that brought back the temporal happiness that has fleeted from this bleeding soul. It was time to move on.
3 - and of course... Who would have thought that a simple fire drill matched with starving stomachs, would make a very unexpecting but beautiful view be exposed... ehe but im thankful for that.. Otherwise, I wouldn't realize the worth of my remaining days.. All that could've turned out into a jaundiced experience full of hatred and bitterness. But instead, i've been inspired once again to wake up in the morning and be optimistic on the bright side of life. ;)
From what i've been through made me think about the swift passing of time. And whatever rancor you encounter, just think of it as an opportunity for something. I may experience pain and suffering again but hey, life isn't perfect. It is something generic that is passed on to different categories / aspects that'll help you see the optimism out of its ugly perceptions. Learn from your mistakes. Oh yes... I wouldn't want to see myself crying... or suffer the feeling of getting stranded on the past; again. Never rush into any emotion or impulsive actions that'll bring you back into that pit. And if you do, learn how to climb up. See the metaphor on how you got that rope and how hard you tried just to see the daylight. And most importantly, How did you ever manage to hold on to that rope despite of the temptations around, holding you back?
Just believe in yourself. It's not always you who gets to chase around the opportunities. It reaches you; without even knowing when, how or why. And lastly, happiness doesn't occur literally from what you seem is 'perfect'. Sometimes, it unexpectingly comes out on the mere reflections of the side wherein no one wishes to seek.
And in that way, you'll see the beauty of it. You'll see the thrill of your life. :)
I'm signing off.. i'm glad He gave me enough strength to resume, resist and recover. It's Holy Week... Don't you think we should reflect more out of the noise around and focus more on the inside? ;) Goodnight...
*Happy to meeee ;p*

..Time After Time..
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you Caught up in circles confusion--
Is nothing new Flashback--
warm nights--
Almost left behind Suitcases of memories,
Time after--
Sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me,
I can't hear What you've said--
Then you say--
go slow--
I fall behind--
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look--
and you will find me Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has Turned to gray
Watching through windows--
you're wondering If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time--
If you're lost...
You said go slow--
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds--
If you're lost......
Time after time
Time after time ,
Time after time,
Time after time

..addicted..
and I mean OBSESSED.. v. ob·sessed, ob·sess·ing, ob·sess·es v. tr.
To preoccupy the mind of excessively.
I download the episodes 24/7. I only search for the word 'smallville season 4' on google.com. I always get pictures of Erica Durance and Tom Welling on the net. I download songs they use from each episode. and I definitely think & talk about it the whole time. Need I say more? hehe here are some pictures of my favorite character... Lois Lane.. I like her better than Lana Lang...
Before the legend...before the icon...there was a teenager named Clark Kent (Tom Welling, Cheaper by the Dozen.) Between the boy he thought he was and the man he is destined to become are the stories of Smallville. Someday, he'll master his powers and understand his true calling. Now beginning its fourth season on The WB, this new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series.
Fourteen years ago, a meteor shower burst from the heavens, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, Kansas. The intervening years have left the town's inhabitants with scars and secrets. From the ashes of tragedy, Clark Kent has grown into an awkward teen. While adolescence always brings its challenges, Clark's transition from boyhood to manhood has been particularly difficult. He has struggled to come to grips with his emerging superpowers - and the effects of various forms of kryptonite - while battling the strange things that have plagued this idyllic Midwest hamlet since the meteor shower.
In last season's finale, Clark was enticed by a Kryptonian girl, Kara, who had been sent to bring him home. After being pulled violently into the cave wall, Clark was trapped in a phantom zone. As Season Four begins, Clark seems to have resurfaced in Smallville, but is it really Clark or his alter ego, the emotionless Kryptonian Kal-El? Breaking the show's long-standing rule, "No Flights, No Tights," Clark/Kal-El will soar up into the sky for the very first time. Continuing the tradition of introducing well-known characters from the Superman mythology, Clark will also encounter the speedster known as The Flash and answer the longtime question who is the fastest teen alive.
Clark's world is turned upside-down as another landmark moment happens this season: The introduction of Lois Lane (sparkling newcomer Erica Durance). Expect the unexpected, when Lois' quick wit and dazzling beauty catch Clark totally off-guard. While someday Lois and Clark will be the perfect match - as teenagers, they are oil and water, much in the same way Smallville has successfully surprised everyone by making Lex and Clark - future arch-enemies - the best of friends. Clark and Lois are forced to work together as they seek out the true fate of Lois' cousin Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack, 7th Heaven), who died tragically in last season's startling season finale.
The guardians of Clark's secret identity have always been his adoptive parents, Jonathan (John Schneider, The Dukes of Hazzard, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) and Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole, Superman III, 48 Hrs.). In the aftermath of the meteor shower, they discovered his crashed spacecraft in a cornfield and took him in as their own. Last season, Jonathan put his life on the line for his deal with Clark's real father, Jor-El, and now has to pay the consequences.
Congrats! You are Lex Luthor!
Who's your Smallville Persona?
brought to you by Quizilla
Can you believe that!?! Well.. yeah.. I often see myself in him. Anyway.. I guess I better log off.. ehehehe thrill.. fell asleep... salit-salitan pala eh! haha :p One confession: Whenever I think about it or the last days of my hs life eradicates my worries / problems away... Of course its only temporary but I guess it's worth the risk... and the keeping. :) thanks.. :) consistency? yeah.. as far as I can see.. it's still the basis of one's sincerity. ;p
Here's my choice of an upcoming movie for the day:
Earthman Arthur Dent is having a very bad day. His house is about to be bulldozed, he discovers that his best friend is an alien and to top things off, Planet Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Arthur's only chance for survival: hitch a ride on a passing spacecraft. For the novice space traveler, the most astonishing adventure in the universe begins when the world ends. Arthur sets out on a journey in which he finds that nothing is as it seems: he learns that a towel is just the most useful thing in the universe, finds the meaning of life, and discovers that everything he needs to know can be found in one book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Starring : Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Sam Rockwell, Zooey Deschanel, Bill Nighy
Im off.. Goodnight.. :)

..the bright side..
I still can't help but think that I am now officially a graduate. I've been doing my best to pacify this feeling, this sad feeling, that it will never be the same. I missed everyone... But crying isn't my solution to release this hindrance from being happy and liberated. Instead, looking on the bright side can be an effective plan since I'm months away from this new world that awaits me. Right now, i'm making the most out of the time left with my friends (including the ones I left in St.Paul...). Cge gimik lang.. hehehe- RECAP -
March 18, `05. Graduation day... This day, heavy rain poured. Pero lamo yung pasaway?? ADT yun! haha kahit sa pinakahuling sandali, hinding hindi magpapatalo sec namen. hehehe I also thought that my mom wouldn't join me in the processional. Anyway, My dad was able to make it. Then nakita ko barx niya. Shempre andun din sha... hehehe then nung Barbe na, tagal pa kasi, lumabas ako... Kate took a picture of us. (pumayag sha! haha hiya naman ako..) kaso masakit na feet niya so naghanap sila ng flats.. Then ininform nya ko na di sha makakanuod sa pagmarch ng ADT.. So I went back inside, (lamo yung magkatext buong grad?? haha lupet!) I asked if di na talaga sha makakapunta.. then sabi niya baka hindi na.. So ok, it was my turn to march, my mom didn't go up cuz certificate lang daw makukuha ko.. huhu hehehe then bow na ko... As I sit down in my place, I checked my fone... nagrep sha.. "congratz! naabutan kita ha! hehehehe" followed by.. "tumakbo pa ko para makaabot.." hahaha life is good... and God loves me til the very end! hahahaha after the giving out of our diplomas, Lyka delivered her Valedictory address.. bigat sa loob grabe! we're finally leaving.. Then picture na lahat... Back there, I saw their whole barx.. They hugged me tight and requested me for an 'isang hug naman jan! last na eh! :p' sooo we hugged... nyaha I went crazy back there! ahaha and I was happy kahit dapat paiyak na ko...
Ms. P.R.U. Aya & the hindi nagsusuklay Juz.. :p
Though someone didn't make it. :c I'd be very happy if you really did come... But I guess it's part of the consequences we have to face right? anyway.. Some of our friends took us a pic in their phones and I sent one to mine.. I get to have a souvenir! hahaha after that, tropa pic.. last hug.. then we left; cuz my mom couldn't take it anymore.
We waited for an hour cuz my sister attended her choir... 'kinakarir kasi eh!!'.. Shiela called me `kinulit pala' to go with them at Shang. We ate at Kamay kainan in greenhills. We were supposed to watch a movie but we didn't make it to the last full show... We went home and I began downloading smallville videos... `adik nanaman!' We still texted until 2 in the morning.. haha sa wakas.. alam ko narin yung hinihintay mo! haha I can relate na! ;p congratz besty.. binky!! ;p pero nalalabuan pdn ako! hahaha
March 19, `05. I forgot to set my alarm cuz I have to wake up at 8. The doorbell continuously rang until I woke up and realized that it was my grandpa's driver picking me up for my treatment... I rushed in and as usual, my mom scolded me for my `irresponsibility'.. err... then we went to UST. After that, I stopped over at my house first to get my money. Then we're off to school to meet my friends. Morai, Shiela, Zche, Marian and I got a cab and headed towards Shang. `finally!' haha
We met Cyan, Lyka, Cha then Gian. We got lost and separated for several times that made us very late for the movie. We ate first... then bought our tickets... pa studio pic pa..

I bought food for the both of us and how can i forget buying myself an M&M's crispee?? hehehe anyway.. They went crazy with the kissing part! haha the one with the chubby guy and Hitch... then with the girl the chubby guy practiced with Hitch.. haha I really liked Amber Valleta back there.. she was soo pretty (Allegra Cole) After that we claimed for our pics, they ate at potato corner.. then raided Candy corner! haha sarap ng

They had to leave soo we hugged each other as if it was our last. Shiela cried hahaha but i'll surely miss them. Soo it was Cyan, Gian, Cha and I who were the ones left. We met Cha and Gian at Haagen Dazs as they surprise Cyan with the coldplay CD she was dying to buy. I was too when Cha bought me an ice cream she promised to buy me one. I never thought she would really do it. But I was very touched... THANKS CHA! Due to rushing events, I stained Gian's white shirt with my choco Ice cream... soorrrryyy... I hugged Cha several times cuz its her turn to leave; Then Gian...
It was Cyan and I who were the last ones standing.. hehe we bonded, talked and reminisced together.. Til our sundos were there.. THANKS CYAN! Im gonna miss you.. goodluck! SORRY ATENISTA! hahaha kita kits sa intrams... :p Then my lolo fetched me.
Besides that, we still texted.. hahaha then at 8.. I still attended the choir prac. I felt really dizzy that time and went home at 10.. I still managed to fix my `abandoned' scrapbook and read `inferno' before I snoozed off.. Sorry pala sa mga natulugan ko.. :p salit-salitan pala eh! hahaha pero eh.. akala ko ba meh kakausapin ako ngayong araw?? :s

Life is good... But still you have to live each moment, as if it was your last.
Keep the thrill...

..the last day..
The last day of school... this is the day where we used to shout at the top of our voices, screaming "
See you next year!" or get excited cuz you're about to spend the next 2 months with whatever you want and when June comes, you'd be very excited seeing your friends / barkadas / etc. But i've suddenly realized that the usual routine I encounter every year won't happen again.
it's all over. Goodbye to HS life! :c
Tomorrow will be the day wherein each and every one of us marches down the aisle towards our designated places. Our last mass together, the receiving of different awards, and most of all... the most awaited evidence we've worked hard for four years just to obtain it. Our diploma. There are so many people I want to thank... people in the past who taught me different lessons... Words weren't enough for me as our last program was held a while ago in our beloved gym, slides of our senior year were shown and we even get to perform our last song. The True Blue Hymn. As I look into the eyes of my fellow batchmates, I see the depression that struck them, for they weren't ready to face the fact that our last year has finally ended. It finally sank in that it's now my turn to say goodbye.
Im proud to belong to the batch that exposed the worth of unity and being amalgamated.. This batch gave me the skill and identity i've been searching for since the day I was given talents. Everyone has its own uniqueness right? and im just one of them who has progressed in obtaining these. I know the journey doesn't end here. But I'm glad I surpassed this step to face the next level.
For ADT, I'll surely miss the encore of singing the cua song.. different chants that led one class into unity. Anyway... I got this poem from car's blog composed by Kyla Sevidal...
Room 206
And as the new day arrives. The rowdy group of students attend the morning assembly. With ecstatic voices and radiant attitudes. Different perspectives and different beliefs (why do you think we get along that much?) yet all these descriptions flow into one main thing - the constant chanting of the name of our beloved (don’t forget passionate - remember the iyakan sessions) adviser.
"We, we love, we love ms., we love ms. Cua - mag Cua, Cua, Cua, Cua tayo! Wahoo!"
It's like an exotic dish best served in cold dull mornings of the week - we bring life… that's our class for you. We mess up everything because of the pandemonium that we bring (If you can’t lower heaven, raise hell instead). We cause too much headaches that nobody could really tolerate us (araw-araw nalang sermon!) We forgot to bring duct tape for each others' chattering mouths.
My dear readers, I present to you, the class of 2005.
(Standing from the platform) And on the right side of the room - makikita mo ang chics. Sina BIM - na lagging tulala at lagging iniisip ang kanyang mahal sa buhay. Si RAISA - na palaging tulog, kungdi tumatawa ng nakakatawa. Si SIENA - na best cheerdancer pero puro bloopers rin - and I mean puro!. Nanjan si CHARMAINE na kamuka na ni Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" - na lagi rin nag gugupit ng split ends at walang humpay na kumakanta ng OPM rock. Don’t forget about SHAR na napaka hinhin sa isang sulok. Pero pag nag sama-sama ang powers nila, tumpak! Patay tayo jan! ang lalakas pa kumain. Hehe.
Mga disappearing acts tulad nila MOMSY (N. CABLAYAN) nila YSA - na sabi madalas na daw siya pumapasok at mapag aral daw, na siya ring nagsabi na bawal meat sa Wednesday and Friday [napapaisip ako…] si TWEETIE na mamimiss mo pag wala - laging nagsisimula ng mga uso (naks! trend setter!). At ang kapansin-pansin na lugar nila ANN BORJA na kahit subukan mong mahalin ay mapapaayaw ka talaga (ano? Open forum? Haha!). Hatak na nito si ANDREA na napaingay narin ng "Tomasian" namin.
Pero di nga, pano sila QUEEN (isa pang disappearing act) CHRISSY, ORBE, OLGA AT KRIM? Sinusubukang makinig sa guro pero nawawala dahil kay Ann. Hihirit pa tong si DANNA na class beadle at nasa top - "Lasalista" yan!
Wag nating kalimutan si PAT - na lagging hinahanap ni Ms. Jelly, aba! Sikat!. Si VIVIEN na kakonchaba nila Queen at Momsy sa pag absent. Sila PIA, CESSA, AT KITTY na walang humpay na nag lalagay ng make-up at mistulang nag papaganda.
Halt! Kalahati pa lang yan! Eto, isa pa…
Sa banding kaliwa… ang 5 b’s. Si ALLI na tunay na Lougee (singer ng Mojofly – dun sa mga hindi nakaka alam) addict at napaka bayolente nyan, lagot! Yung may mga utang jan! mangongolekta na siya! Bread winner sa klase na si INNUH na nasa honor roll (Ahem!). Pansinin si NADINE dahil discipline chairperson naming yan at laging "i-repeat" (ISAW PARTY!!!). Pag nanahimik si ANET - ibig sabihin katxt si… at pag humirit si PATTY, siguradong "Boo" nanaman yan - blinded by love, wounded for eternity, decto 17 - fallen beauty. (hanep!) Counter part sila ng mga… sila ang mga "Uglyz" – o iwas away ha?
Kilala niyo ba yung hanep na cheerdancer, dance instructor at muse ng batch na si RIA Na sabi ni CAR - na mukang lalaki daw, scriptwriter at "Yogi Bear" impersonator naman siya! Si baby Cua na si GZEL (Little Big!) at ang katabing si JOY - na sabi ng iba yumabang daw dahil sa pangil niya. [BEST DRUMMER NAMAN!] Pag nawala si JUZ sa upuan - tumpak, nasa 3rd floor yan o nag liliwaliw sa ibang upuan sa klase. Iniiwan ang kanyang kabarkada na si KYLA na naghihingalo dahil tinatancha ang oras sa ibang bansa – nasan na si Stellar? (paboritong linya yan ay… "Parang walang playprod bukas ah!?") Nasabi mo na bang may P.R.U. na kasing gaslaw ni VALENE? (maliit na ba sulat niya at hindi na nakakapa ng bulag?) Ang tres-marias na sina CATES, MARY ROSE AT FAYE na lag=ging pinapansin ni sir pag physics - ang ingay kasi at tawa ng tawa.
Walang makakalimot sa kakulitan ni MAR - isa rin laging wala pag Wednesday dahil… (Dante namin yan!) ang kanyang comrade na si CARBALLO na script writer rin at ubod ng takaw nung retreat. Pano na ang best friend niyang si CARLA - na make up artist at laging napapa-clinic dahil sa asthma?
"You there, at the back" - ang paboritong linya ni Sr. Sy-Beng at Ms. Dolor. Nag sisimula kay JEWEL na human type writer daw sabi ni Ms. Santos (Yael addict) Ang hanep na sounds director na si KRISCHELLE. Pag ang upuan ni MAKIS ay bakante, ibig sabihin nasa bowling. Wag mag alala, nanjan naman si SHARIE na sikat na sikat kay Ms. Cua. Tanong - nasa langit ka na ba kapag narinig ang boses ni KRISHA? Wag lilimutin si CHO na hinu-hunting ni Ms. Dolor lagi - absent naman pag may ulan! Si RIVAS na lagging napag tritripan na prayer leader - the best! Nanalo sa essay writing - hanep!
As the day ends, and as you can breathe the sweet smell of hell - the lamented yet happy souls (malabo yun!) of IV - Mere Mare Anne de Tilly are remembered because of their various spices - unique, incredible… vibrant.
It is our time to go. Leaving this small portion of parchment for you. We’ll bring the memories with us - and though this may be our last year, we still are amalgamated. Chanting…
"We, we love, we love ms., we love ms. Cua – mag Cua, Cua, Cua, Cua tayo! Wahoo!"

March 10, `05 [thursday]The seniors were dismissed early.. except for micheau cuz they had their reco.. I was very tired back and really had the urge to go home and sleep before going to my recital prac. But I stayed... helped a friend out.. and was suddenly invited to go over with them and of course with my thrill. Walkathon and bonding sessions with the hearthrobbz.. we were supposed to find seaweeds for Natz and ended at Mcdo.. haha *smile na lang ako.. :)* Unfortunately, I was already late for my prac soo I had to leave.. :c we got a cab, ran of to Gen's house and got my things.. Binky and her friend rode with me.. *waah!! hehehe* sure silence filled the room.. but back there... remained as a blissful adventure for me... thanks guyz!! i really had fun.. :) As I arrive in the convent, I began practicing... And for another moment there, I was smiling.. haha don't know why.. Then afterwards, we texted... :)March 11, `05 [Friday]Seniors were having their breaks.. Ienne asked me to sit with them in the bench.. hah! yeah.. I sat with them smiling.. know why? I guess it's pretty obvious... :) Anyway, we got our grad pics na.. *whatever*..

March 12, `05 [Saturday]
General rehearsals... still faltered my piece.. went to Ongpin.. ate at estero's and then went to the anticipated mass..
March 13, `05 [Sunday]
THE BIG DAY. But I guess getting embarassed was meant for me this time... I failed playing my piece once again. Then ate lunch out with my family and relatives. When we came home, I watched Smallville and started preparing at 4. Went to the Salon and got Nelson fix everything... I wore my gown and went off to The Manila Pen...
Grad Ball. It was a little boring but I enjoyed our performance with our Batch song... :) had fun with tropa. But I must comment on the food!!! it sucks! eooww... hehehe
Some shots from the coolest lobby ive ever been to.

Whoa!!!
DEFENSE is finally over... but before that.. lemme give you a recap of yesterday's 'not so peaceful' events...
The 7 'o Clock Mass. it was ok.. played a little... we had a long meeting after. Didn't know that we were running out of time to meet the Million Dollar Baby sched in gateway. The good part? we still have 30 minutes to buy food. The bad part? Bringing food from concesionnaires is strictly prohibited.
Result = a blasted mom = temper + high...
so we had no choice but to watch in Galleria... Due to unwanted gestures and reactions. I felt BV and began to realize that people who KNOW IT ALL really heighten up my temper... geez... sorry! I AIN'T PERFECT ARYT?? grr... well anyway..
Inside the movie house.
We had good seats since the movie house was quite full. I sat beside these couples who mingled out the whole movie.. Sheesh! Get a room!!
Anyway... Here are some movies next in line to my list of movie marathon-ic deizz for this upcoming summer.
Adrien Brody (my fave!) & Kiera Knightley
MR & MRS. SMITH. Pitt & Jolie :p Johnny Depp & Kate Winslet and of course! STAR WARS EPISODE 3: REVENGE OF THE SITH
one thing you can say about me? a movie addict! :p and so last night.. we watched..
This movie is nice... Sakit sa puso! :c hehehe
So I had another sleepless night... tried to answer the guide questions for the defense as much as possible.
Our first day of practices (for grad)... BoOoOoOoRrrrIIIiiiNnNnGGggg.... Fell asleep as usual.. but for the last part.. we started marching. and right then and there, I felt the remaining 2 weeks.. that i'm about to leave Highschool... :c err.. *skip!*
DEFENSE.
Our panelists: Ms. Bengua and Ms. Bernardo... The defense took us 2 hours. Felt the cold air.. But we sure gained a lot of experiences... and learned so many things from them. Couldn't actually believe Ms. Bernardo... she sure is witty! :) anyway.. the whole thing turned out the way we expected.. and at last.. I can finally say...
IM GONNA GRADUATE!! :D
haha sure felt great... and thanks to my besty rish.. you know what i mean.. ;) thanks for everything.. at last... :D
and to my GROUPMATES.. GRP 1... we did it! :) Kahit wala si Cho.. :c hehe i want some more Gonuts!!! Vanilla....... Amazing Glazee..... hehehe love you guyz!! mwah!!

1 DEFENSE2 My PIANO RECITALsheesh.. hope it'll all stop! hate it. buti na lang.. hehehe well im off.. short lang.. hehe just finished doing the ppt. presentation for our defense. Night guyz! *yawn!*
..exhausted..
whew! finally.. the exams are over.. but ill surely miss it.. anyway... I rank each subject according to my braincells' capacity: a - the most combustive ones b -
kaya pa c -
chill lang...
a - MATH . ENGLISH . COMPUTER . HOMEROOM(nah just kidding! :p)b - ECO . PHYSICS . MUSIC . FIL. CL . HOMEROOM(seryoso na ko.. hehe)c - may natira pa ba?? hahahaThen a program was held in the gym.. its our president's burthdei... boring.. But I had fun with my fellow batchmates..
(Galing pala ni Kafutid sumayaw!!! kakainlab! haha) hmm.. what else.. *great views... :D* although sad seconds of my life occurred once again.. I kinda released myself from it and
focused more on the present nalang. Whatever happened in the past.. remains there. I guess it's time to learn from my own mistakes... Let them show consistency.. cuz if it really works, then I guess its worth embracing it...
again.
Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.
oh yes... it's an excerpt from one part of our English exam. Time really flies fast. Just a year ago, I was preparing all my requirements for clearance. And now, im on the last step before graduation. DEFENSE. geez.. im really nervous about it.
WHOOO!!! at least.. finals are over... the bad part? countdown begins.
I don't know what's happening to the world lately, but I want to post this quote Valene's ex sent to her.
Letting go doesn't always mean "It's over." Breaking up would not mean "i've had enough". Instead, it's as good as saying... "YAW NA KITA MASAKTAN.. GO ON.. :) you deserve someone better."
haii.. absurd? yeah.. the best way to describe the past... But I guess I should follow my friends' advice. Since its not the first time this kind of situation occurred. All I need right now.. is consistency.. in school, friends, works, and other peepz.. yeah... hehehe
RECAP: Mar. 02, 2005
Studied Eco inside Shang's moviehouse. now that's a first! hehe besides that...
- Recto (delivered CDs)
- Binondo (China Town! food in the estero was great!! YuMmMm... Eng Bee Tin.. hihihi)
- Makati
- Lastly, Shang... We watched Hitch.. nice...
Im glad I was able to answer all the tests... HOMEROOM!! Curse you! haha
Anyway, I'm gonna end this na... Geez! i'm a sucker for quotes!
Love may take long.. But it will always take you to where you belong.. Just hold on and enjoy the journey.. Cuz your heart will know..
when its finally HOME.. :)
-- another one from my Nie Valene! thanks for being there... :)
Good night guyz!! im off...
