I lurve XMEN III.. Just saw it a few hours ago with Edward and Patty.
Bought "cheap stuff" at Daiso, well haha duh everything they sell is P88 pesos.
We went to Ruins aka Goodshepherd Bazaar ba yun? Well huwatever, we still call it Ruins.. and bought blank CDs
Had dinner here at home, yum! Haven't ate sinigang in a long time since we went to the States. And yung mga dishes dun lahat may broccoli, iba lasa.. nakakasawa na broccoli.
"Teehee" ..hellew sistahood. And for the others go figure.
Haha ok I'm feeling kindda kind.. "kindda kind" how redundant could I get right?
Right?
Haha!
Cheap stuff: A word Patty said in her dream when she dreamt that she was in the States and about to go back here, she was inviting this Bob Marley-ish type of guy to go here to the Philippines, cause there are lots of places to go to, "cheap stuff" and whatnot.
Teehee, on the other hand, is an expression used by some when chatting.. I dunno, it just makes me laugh. "TEEHEE" uhuh I'm sarcastic.. teehee =P
Hahahaha!!!

I read my Kuya's book 10 days to a more powerful vocabulary this morning.
I woke up unusually early since I lost my jetlag..and I woke up because I dreamt that I was braiding Ate Trina's hair 'cause Patty wasn't around. There's more to that dream but I'll just post it some other time..
So anyway, I read the book and found it quite interesting, encouraging, compelling to widen my vocabulary.
After reading the first few pages, I wanted to do everything that the author said like subscribe to some of the sites that send you an e-mail including a word-of-the-day, answer crossword puzzles, play scrabble..then by next year I would have learned 3,000 new words. Huwaw!
I stopped reading it, I'll just continue reading it tomorrow because I've encountered lots of new words already. Some are quite familiar while the others are just out-of-this-world..
Here they are: If my memory serves me right..

fraudulent- deceitful
conglomerate- collection, group of companies
lucrative- profitable
shibboleths- terms used by a certain group, kind of like a jargon
quixotic- romantically impractical (whatever that means)
cabal- conspiracy, insider group
infrastructure- foundation, basic underlying structure
entrepreneur- a person starting a business/ creating a new business
pettifogger- unscrupulous/ devious
unscrupulous/ devious- doubtful
indefeasible- cannot be undone/ annulled
luddite- a person who refuses to use new machinery (mga high-tech)
Machiavellian- tyrant, specializes in back-stabbing and self-promotion
jurisdiction- ownership, dominion, legal control
extrapolate- estimate
paradigm- principle, pattern
persona- mask
virtuosity- excellence (often in performance)
hybrid- crossbreed
abomination- horrible, unpleasant
odyssey- long, event-filled journey
gothic-haunting, dark, mysterious

Yan muna baka nahihilo na yung iba. O inaantok na.
The others are quite familiar, noh?
Go over the words and see which ones you are familiar with, it'll test youre memory as well as your vocabulary.. believe meh.
If you wanna improve on this, go and get yourself a copy of the book "10 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary" by The Princeton Institute and Tom Nash Ph, D.

Injoy! Wink!

2006-05-23T14:31:00.000+09:00

I can't believe it.. 2 more weeks to go and I'll be back to school again. Isn't it ironic that during our vacation and we have nothing to do.. we want to go back to school but when we're faced with a lot of responsibilities, we find ourselves anticipating our sembreak. Haha.
Grrr
I'm excited.
I'm anxious.
I'm nervous.
Might go to Cris' shoot tomorrow. It's a horror movie called "Wag Kang Lilingon".
I've forgotten how it's like to be in a set, but I'm sure I'd feel comfortable after a while..
Also looking forward to out Tito Ambo's installation as parish priest in San Fernando, Pampanga. Everyone'll be there.
Excited to see Pids, Tita Vec, Kat, Mig and Tito Noli, Direk and many more!
Wanna go out again, hopefully on Fri..
Want to go to Mall of Asia!

2006-05-02T05:02:00.000+09:00

Have so many photos to upload. Oh I already got myself a digicam thanks to our trip to Tita Boots' and Tito Boyet's flower shop. I saw their digicam and asked how much they got it, and Tita Boots just gave it to me. I can't believe it at first. Well, it's not one of those small hi-tech digicams but it sure is good enough for me! Sometimes I just get carried away with all the photo-ops..haha Patty and Ate are getting accustomed to it.

Check http://photos.yahoo.com/jellypat to view the latest pics.

Again, I haven't posted in a while.. Hehe. One more week to go before we leave. I'm still not satidfied with the things I've bought. I must go on a trip to Ross, Marshall's or TJ Maxx one of these days. We went to Citadel ysterday, it was a blast! I love the Old Navy there..so many cheap finds! I bought pasalubong for a lot of people and spent a little over a hundred bucks. That's not so bad, right? Hehe!

We're off to Pho with Dongie and Kuya Don-don..

Just like how Rachael Ray says it.. YUM-O!

Hahaha!

Back in a while.

2006-04-06T23:19:00.000+09:00

Haven't posted in a while.. We've been here in Cali for almost a week now. And just as expected, we've been, well, not pigging out..but eating a lot, because we know that it won't be the same when we get back to the Philippines. Not that we're deprived or anything, but their serving here is soooo abundant, you'd find it hard to finish and not finish it. Nakakapanghinayang e. Well, my practicality when it comes to spending my money is now at its lowest. I am serious. When we went to Ross..I was like, waaaaaaaaahhhh... I got so many shirts and had it scanned by Dongie, so I would fit less items. I ended up buying 5 shirts which is pretty good. Almost everything I bought was from Split because of their one-of-a-kind designs. Yeah, I still have control naman..it's just that it's so hard to resist. I've been hunting for the most comfy and most affordable skirt, but ended up buying 2 pairs of pants and bermuda shorts. Again, it's so hard to resist especially when you can see how soft the material is and imagining how good it will look on you..add to that the regret you're gonna have once you get back to the Philippines and realize..you can't turn back time, so you wish you just bought it.

We're down to $400 each now... I have to get a digicam so subtract like $150 to that. I have to have to get a digicam before this week ends 'cause we're going to San Diego next week and to Vegas the week after. There would be loads and loads of photo-ops there and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Havin' lunch w/ our Tito Boyet today..we have to take a bath early. Oh yeah, ever since we've been here..all Patty and I have been doing is watching tv, watching tv, eating, eating, eating, surfin' the net. Well it's aggravating couch potatoism I suppose, because here, their cable is much much better than ours. They have free movies and you could watch your fave premium channels and even stop, play, rewind or fast-forward a movie whenever you want to. Sounds like an ad for a cable company, eh? But it's true..I've seen the 3rd season of Sex and the City in the past few days and like 3 espisodes of Six Feet Under.

It adds up to the procrastination.

Me: Patty ligo na..

Patty: Ate ligo na..

Me: Eh nanonood pako..after ko manood

Patty: Zzzzz...

At Formula with Miles

2006-03-28T15:28:00.000+09:00

A decent photo

2006-03-26T16:26:00.000+09:00

It's crazy! After a boring week at home and helping my sister with her requirements...at last I got to go out! It's insane, loooking forward to going out! I just needed to be in a different atmosphere. Spent Friday night at Formula with Miles. Tash and Cla were supposed to come too, but due to a series of unfortunate events, they dint get to make it. Tash got drunk much too early and Cla had problems with her friend who's gonna take her there. Haha even so, I still had a blast with Miles! After a few bottles, we headed to the dance floor and shook it off. Haha! We were exhausted and the music was just becoming plain boring, so we went back to our seats and just took photos of ourselves. Camwhores! We waited for the lights to hit our direction so we could take a decent photo. Haha it was frustrating! I need to get myself a digicam when I get to the States. I swear!

Yesterday was also a ball. I had lunch at Tita Vec's clinic and went home right away. I had a hangover and took a power nap when I got home. I was so happy when I found out that Rob, Tess and I will still be able to have a girls night out. We went to Good Earth at Town. The Fuzzy Melon drink we ordered wasn't fuzzy at all..it was hard! Well, yeah it literally is, but it's so hard to finish. As if they dint mix anything with it! It was as bad as taking oh-so-bitter cough syrup! Oh well, it dint ruin the moment, hehe. The restaurant closed down on us, I think they were trying to tell us, hey stop talking, we wanna wash your plates and glasses already..we wanna go home! We sure had a lot of catching up to do!

We headed to BF to go and see Tess' boyfriend, Mico, who was with his friends. Speaking of BF, I can't believe there are so many bars here now and I haven't even gone to anyone of them until last night! I told Rob and Tess, now we could literally go bar-hopping! Hop, hop, hop!

My gradeschool (and oldschool) friends Mike and Miguel were at Beluga and asked me to come. Since Rob needed to go home already and Tess was gonna stay with Mico, Miguel was kind enough to drop Rob off at her place.

Haha last night was pretty funny...all the memories of our grade 6 days!

I also got to meet some of their friends from La Salle when we were at Beluga and when we ate at Sinangag EXpress afterwards.

Miguel was also in the hot seat because of his sudden twang. It was hilarious! No offense, Miggy. In case you read this. Hahaha! Like,uh!

...LIKE UH GLOVE!

Dude pare tsong 'tol bro sir ma'am boss chief, CHIEFTAIN! What the?! Hahaha!

What was also pretty hilarious is the fact that the 3 of us have memorized the lines from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Yez, old skewl!

You gotta get a slinky, you better get a slinky, slinky..slinky..

GO SLINKY GO!

I love chitty chitty bang-bang, chitty chitty bang-bang, chitty bang-bang yeah! ...CHITTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYY!

You must be the monopoly guy! Do not pass, GO! Do not collect $200!

Shikaka! Shikasha! Shishkebab, sharshank redemption..CHICAGO! YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!

Hahaha!

A ball...a ball.

school's over

2006-03-13T00:18:00.000+09:00

Done.

2006-03-12T17:16:00.000+09:00

School's over now... it's quite a relief. The past week was a hell week. Crammer. I had 3 final exams last Tuesday, orals in comm theories, written exams in eco and a play for lit. The coming days were just hectic. We had to finish interviewing people for our brand plan in marketing. Spent a lot of time tabulating the data. For those people whom I interviewed, thanks so much for your time!!!

I was kind of nervous about our defense, because we really crammed... we did our powerpoint presentation at the last minute. Jaz, Mics, Laarni and Enerz slept over. We met up with Ms. Marco at Eastwood to clarify some things. It's good that Mark also helped out. At least we got some tips from someone who's used to doing all these things. We slept at 5am and woke up at 7. I felt as if I had a hang over.

Our defense turned out to be alright. The panelists were very kind, and they're going to let their clients know about our proposal. Phew! What a relief...

I'm still adjusting to all the free time that I have now. I feel strange, 'cause I have nothing to worry about. No papers to pass, no exams to study for. This coming week will be a fun-filled one I suppose. I might join Cris in the horror movie she's working on with Quark Henares. And'll have a despedida party before we leave for the States (haha, as if I'm not coming back eh noh?) Hehe they just want a reason for us to go out and celebrate!

Hmmm...I wonder what I'll be up to in the coming months. I sort of have a lot of options.

It's getting hotter and hotter every day. I can feel the summer heat! Too bad we'll only be around for a few weeks...but I'm excited!

Looking forward to having a ball in Cali!

On Life and Death...

2006-03-05T01:51:00.000+09:00

"Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."

It's amazing how life is so paradoxical, and that more depth and meaning is drawn from these statements. Why is it that life is also so abstract? Big things made small and small made big.

2006-02-27T20:41:00.000+09:00

aww yeah!

2006-02-27T20:38:00.002+09:00

Indolence

2006-02-27T20:28:00.000+09:00

Lazy lazy lazy... I know I have a lot of things to do, but I'm just real lazy these days. My sister was talking to me earlier about staying in Cali for a few months after I graduate. Told her to ask me when I'm a senior already, cause I don't even know how I'll be able to accomplish all of the requirements this sem. Oh -- the humanity! Goodbye, academic scholarship! Goodbye, Honda Jazz!

I need a miracle for my Eco subject!

Have to do my death paper in Philo now. Gotta bounce!

The Rally and La Gloria

2006-02-25T12:17:00.000+09:00

Much has been said about the rally yesterday as well as the arrest and release of our Tito Randy.

My dad, mom and sister, Patty were on their way to Pampanga when they heard of Tito Randy's arrest and then went straight to Camp Karingal.

Atty. Tan and Tito Noli were accompanied by Mang Henry to go to the camp.

The officials were denying that Tito Randy was there but it was Tito Randy himself who said that he was at Camp Karingal.

Direk Marilou and Tito Ambo also went to Tito Randy coming from Pampanga.

At 6:30pm, we went to Camp Karingal to fetch Tito Noli. I was with Kat-Kat, Tita Vec, Ate Emma and Migo. Tita Karina and Ate Dezh just arrived.

A few minutes after, Tito Randy, Atty. Argee Guevarra and Mr. Llamas were released without further delay.

According to them, the only evidence that was mentioned was that one of them was wearing an OUST GLORIA sticker. But the fiscal said that even if all of them were wearing OUST GLORIA shirts, it would still be insufficient evidence for them to be charged with inciting to sedition.

It's good that everything turned out right. A lot of people are abusing their power. Beep, beep.

Thanks to everyone who contacted us and asked how things are going.

Let's just hope that no one gets hurt or further arrested.

On relationships...

2006-02-23T00:40:00.000+09:00

How does a relationship start anyway? Be it a friendship or a boy-girl relationship. Are there verbal understandings regarding the limitations and whatnot?

I've had quite a few failed friendships and romantic relationships. I am not really the type who would go out of my way to befriend anyone who doesn't seem to want to get to know me better, or doesn't seem to appreciate my efforts.

I give high regard to "pinagsamahan".

For me, the good memories would always outlive the bad, granted that there are more good ones. And one thing's for sure, I'm true to myself, but one will not be able to see who I really am if s/he will just base it on immediate judgements and blind reasoning.

Without the people around me, my foes, peers n family...I wouldn't be who I am now. Relationships, whether it has been benificial or detrimental, shapes a person in totality.

PRO..PRO..PROJJJECTS

2006-02-22T10:02:00.000+09:00

I'm procrastinating now and I dun like it! So many things to do..so little time to do all of it! Urgh! I'm sort of intimidated with everything that I have to do. Add to that the pressure I'm and and the expectations of other people, including myself..such a caution freak! Coming from a family who does things with obssession and compulsion ain't that easy..it's in my genes! Tata for now.

Bridges

2006-02-18T20:37:00.000+09:00

Bridges
by Sergio Mendes

I have crossed a thousand bridges
In research for something real
There were great suspension bridges
Made of spiderwebs of steel
There were tiny wooden tressles
And there were bridges made of stone
I ahve always been a stranger
And I've always been alone

There's a bridge to tomorow
There's a bridge from the past
There's a bridge made of sorrow
That a brave will not last
There's a bridge made of colors
In the sky high above
And I think that there must be
Bridges made out of love

I can see him in the distance
On the rivers of the shore
And his hand reach out in longing
As my own have done before
And I called across to tell him
Where I believe the bridge must lie
And I'll find him, yes I'll find him
If I search until I die

And the bridge is between us
We'll have nothing to say
We will run to the sunlight
And you'll meet me halfway
There's a bridge made of colors
In the sky high above
And I'm certain that somewhere
There's a bridge made of love

Guernica

2006-02-15T09:46:00.000+09:00

Here's a poem I wrote when I was still in 1st yr for my Humanities class..

Pain, sorrow, agony, despair
All the sadness I cannot bear
Since when has life become so unfair?

Mourning for the irreparable
All this is intolerable!
Yearning for a miracle...

I have lost, I have wept
Is there any good left?

All is gone, All is taken
I shall rest.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who texted, chatted and and kept me company last week.
I lurve ya! :-)

Tonight

2005-12-21T03:24:00.000+09:00

Boring night.. After a long argument about where to go to day. I don't mean to brag, but I was invited to 3 events tonight. Edward's niece's surprise birthday party, dinner with OB friends and the Christmas party of the APFI people (all of them are also part of the Maging Akin Muli production).

As I was saying, after a long discussion regarding where it's best to go, I decided to go to the 1st two. The Christmas party's at Mic's house in La Vista and that's quite far from the 1st two parties. Plus, they will probably have a lot of booze there, I don't want to go home drunk nor tipsy.

Hehe, I saw parts of Burgis today, one of my all-time-favorite Filipino films. Everytime I see old Tagalog movies in cinemaone, it reminds me of the time when my sister was still here. We usually just hang in the living room and have a filmfest, unintentionally. Yep, I guess watching movies is sort of a sibling thing in our family already. Up to now, Patty and I still like lounging around in the couch and just have a DVD marathon.

Anyway, after seeing Burgis, Edward and Paulo fetched me so we could go to phase1, buy something at Tag Tails and then go to his lola's house in Merville. Honestly, I was a bit reluctant to go to that party, cause I don't really know the bday celebrant that well. Of course, I'm shy you know. (Most people would contest that statement I just made, hehe.) I know, but even so. I'm human and I have all the right to be. Well, the party went really well..I spent most of the time with Edward's pamangkins. He has this niece, her name's Brianna..I've played with her before when I went to their house..and when we were about to leave, her mom, Ate Vera said, "o, say bye na to your friend." Brianna said, "bye friend!!!" It was hilarious! From then on, I became known as "FRIEND" or should I say, Brianna's friend. Hehehe! I made new "friend(s)" today, Brianna's older sister Tish, whose name by the way is Patricia Nicole and Enzo, also Edward's nephew. Oh yeah, the birthday celebrant's name is Patricia Nicole also, but she's not Tish.

With my delight for children and my passion for film, I'm stuck in a dilemma. Add the pressure to get into lawschool to that and TADA! You have one hell of a predicament that would take you years and years of research, experiences and people who are very good in persuasion to figure out. I'm really confused about what I should pursue. I've never had this urge to want to pursue lots of things since I'm not much of a risk-taker.

Yes, I'm a caution-freak. I was even asked by Atty. Tan, dad's associate-lawyer to draw a house, tree and person. The results were accurate! I want to assure myself of my security, I am meticulous, selfish (to myself) and am facing the past. Yes, these are all true. In fact, she also saw my tendency to choose friends, which is very correct. I dwell so much on the past because I think that it is my basis when it comes to how I am to go about with certain things, such as saving and choosing friends!

Hehe, I've lost a lot of money in the past and have also met some people whom I thought were my friends. I want to assure myself of my security, because I do think long-term and do not want to end up empty-handed.

I want everything in its proper place, and I do believe that everything has to be prepared for.

I am not a person of spontaneity, but I sure wish I were. I also have an eye for detail, because I am a realist. Or maybe I would like to think I am.

I do dream, but I am not hoping that those big dreams would really come true.

I just want a job, a house before I get married and a man who will marry me, teehee!

I do think of adventures, trips, and all those crazy stuff, but then I just want to assure myself that I get the simple things which probably aren't so simple after all.

Things I would want to have before I die.

Speaking of death, I have a death paper due on the first Friday of February. Seems morbid, I know. I need eulogies from friends and family. Two people, Edward and my ninang, Tita Judi, have already agreed to make me one. I'm glad, because knowing Edward, he doesn't like talking about death, thinking about it makes him squirm..moreso writing about it, but he's doing it for me. Haha, thanks!!!

I've always looked forward to this death paper. I don't know why, but eversince I was little, I've always thought that I would die young. I don't know if it's a premonition or probably just a feeling, could be the product of paranoia too. But really, I still want to achieve a truck-load of things.This is also weird, I tell people about my last will, to wear pastel/bright blue and green during my wake/funeral and to play the songs I sing in videoke. I want a happy farewell, because I've always seen myself as a happy person who talks a lot. I do not seem like that, but I am honestly like that. I love having conversations. It does not really have to be profound or anything, but humor does play an important part in the conversations I engage in. After I read Tuesday's with Morrie, I realized that I also want to have a funeral while I'm alive. After all, all those compliments would be pointless if the person wouldn't be able to hear nor feel it anymore, right?

Hay, here I am talking about death once again. Morrie said, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live. I just hope that people will always remember me as a person who lived her life in all its complexities, humor and whatnot. I lived and I was so full of life. That's it. Easier said than done, actually.

SO..

Did you live? Or should I say.... "are you alive?"

Last night's concert

2005-10-16T01:25:00.000+09:00

So, Edward, Patty and I went to the concert at Southville yesterday.. When Edward got out of the car, I was like.. "gaya-gaya!!!" he was also wearing green!!! Sabi niya, "magpalit ka, magpalit ka na lang.." Ayoko nga, I liked what I was wearing na e. Hehehe! We had dinner at our house first and then we fetched Patty at Citadella from cheering practice, but she wasn't there anymore. We went straight to Southville na lang and he bought tickets.

We saw Kjwan perform a bit, but I could honestly say that I didn't get to appreciate their music that much, cause I've never really been exposed to rock. I could not relate and see the beauty of it, but I have to say that Marc Abaya seems to be really good at what he does.

Anyway, after their gig, Edward and I went outside to check out the tiangge and food booths. The ticket came with a 50-peso worth of redeemable stub, so we bought the choco-loco drink with marshmallows, mojos and kwek-kwek. All vegetarian-friendly, do you notice? Hehe. Lacto-ovo vegetarian friendly, that is. The drink was good. Of course, the food was quite expensive, but it's okay. At least we didn't spend our food allowance. Haha!

I met some of Edward's friends from the College Cup, one of his friends were hilarious! As in sobrang daming hirit. Like when Side A asked the audience to wave their hand (and of course they waved) his friend was like, "AAAAHHH!!!! UTU-UTO!!!!" Hehehehe!

All in all, Side A really is a legend. They can perform songs from all sorts of genres. Like they performed "Don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith. Edward and I were really impressed, because Joey G was really rocking with his rendition of the song. For a minute there, I forgot that they were actually Side A. It was like an all-in-one concert, you know? Too bad Edward was bothered by his nape ache. As for me, I had lots of fun, cause I knew all of the songs that they played and I just kept singing and dancing on my seat. So fun!

Patty came with her friends and told me that her classmate's brother was asking her to drink beer. Of course, she told them that she'll only sip. Gosh, they thought that she doesn't know how to drink and that they can make her. Hehe! Patty was just like, "sa amin nga pinapainom ako, but ayaw ko lang." Hehe, that's what happens when drinking booze is legal in the house. Nobody becomes an alcoholic, and the youngest is not excited about drinking anymore. It becomes passe.. Haha, they don't know that this girl has drank lots of Margarita in the States and thought that she just drank a little. Hehe!

Anyhoo, I had a blast!

The P200 we spent was really worth it!

The long but fun day that was..

2005-10-13T08:00:00.000+09:00

So, as mentioned in my previous post..we had an ocular yesterday at Pampanga. I met almost all of the people whom I'll be working with in the telemovie. Direk and the others did not get to come with us.

It was great! I got along with them right away, cause they were friendly naman. Most of them were students in Asia Pacific Film Institute, students of Direk, while the others were alumni na but they were also Direk's former students in AdMU.

Anyway, I learned more about film-making and stuff. We went to the provincial jail, hospital and looked for the "Hall of Justice" hehe! We asked around if we can be able to shoot the telemovie there. Had lunch at KFC NLEX, then off we went to Pampanga.

It was good! Basically, they just wanted to see the props that we were gonna use, also the location. They took pictures, so that they can show it to Direk. My role is basically to coordinate with the people in Betis for the props, extras, location, et al. We checked the lights for the simbang gabi scene, c/o Tito Eloy & Tito Noreng. Also, we went up to Fr. Ed's room, the parish priest of Betis. They liked the house and also the Betis Church. They'll be shooting at the Church most of the time, but some scenes will also be shot at our house in Betis.

I learned that making a film is really not easy, cause it entails passion, hard-work and patience. You also need to be ma-PR with the people who can help you get all the things you need.

Yeah, it was a learning experience. I got to meet a lot of new people! I'm looking forward to seeing our telemovie, the end-product of sheer patience, hard-work & determination. Yes naman!

Again, thanks to Tatang Ando for lending us his owner jeepney, Tito Noreng & Tito Eloy for the lights and Lola Pacing, who will be cooking bibingka for the simbang gabi scene! U're all so generous!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MADE IT! I MADE IT THROUGH THE SEM! Sembreak na, wahoooooooooooooooo!!! What's good pa is that our last final presentation turned out pretty well. It's an advocacy of inclusion and we were tasked to make an advocacy through an advertisement.

Haaaaayyy all the reports, projects and quizzes are done! This wonderful feeling compensated for it! Although I will still be busy this sembreak because I will be working as an assistant for a telemovie directed by Marilou Diaz-Abaya, I know that it will be a sembreak to remember. This is it! It will be shot at our town, Betis, Pampanga. I asked our chairperson yesterday if it's gonna be credited as a practicuum requirement, but she said that I have to be a junior before I could have my practicuum.

Oh well, of course I'm still pushing thru with it, let's charge it to experience! Hahah! Besides, working with Marilou Diaz-Abaya and other prominent artists is a privilege. What an honor! I'm sure I'll learn lots of things from them. Marvin Agustin, Noel Trinidad, Sandy Andolong & Jaime Fabregas are also in the cast.

Anyhoo, I'm sure I'll miss my friends! Also my cousins and Tita Vec, pati the people in the office and of course Ate Belen.

I'm off to Town with edward and Patty. YAHOO!!!!

Gee..

2005-09-26T23:25:00.000+09:00

I haven't written for the longest time. I've been updating my multiply. Hectic as usual, but I've been attending enriching talks filled with a lot of new lessons to live by.

When you get all tangled up, just tango on.

Don't look back, leave it all on the track.

WahoooOooOoo!!!!

2005-08-20T14:00:00.000+09:00

WahooooooooooooOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Hahaha! Actually, this week was pretty hectic, because of our prelims in Physics plus the rehearsals and the presentation for the Buwan ng Wika itself. I find myself waking up in the middle of my sleep..

But inspite of everything, I would still like to quote Miles on this one, "God is good!" I absolutely, completely, sincerely and whole-heartedly believe in that.

And oh yeah, just how funny could this backstabbber of mine get? =P

What the...HECK! Hahahaha!

So lame!

Oh well, as long as I'm true to myself...hah! No worries!

Let's just say hmmm..

2005-08-15T02:00:00.000+09:00

Grabe, the past week was so hectic. I hadn't had a good night's sleep.. when I was sober. Last Tuesday, I was in panic. I photocopied the research paper which we will base our paper on and five of my other classmates asked if they could just pay me. De syempre sabi ko oo, I gave it to the lady at the photocopying center then I got it after the class and distributed it to my classmates..then I said, bat sobra? Pumunta pako ulit dun kay ate, sabi niya "sobra?" De yung isa yung original... Shit!!! Oo nga yung isa yung original kaya 7! Eh na-distribute ko na nga..I kept calling the first 2 people I gave the research paper to. But I can't reach them, na-wrong number pa nga ako. Bad trip ang sungit pa naman ng teacher namin. Baka kasi sulatan nila, de I'm dead!

Thursday, we had a recollection..syempre, meaningful as always..pero magulo kasi yung class namin kaya andaming nagchi-chikahan, nagatatawanan, nagbubulungan. Parang high school ba..hehe!

Friday, we made a compromise with our teacher, no more prelims in Theology! We'll just make a scrapbook or Powerpoint presentation, yipppeee!!!

But, in my 12-1 class, I found out that our teacher in English gave us work to do. We need to make a background of the study for the article she gave us. If we don't sumbit it at her 1:30-3:00 class.."It's our loss." ..Whatever! Kaya nga wala kaming pasok, recollection e!

Nakakainis lang, cause hindi naman namin major subject ang English and Asian Civ, but those are the subjects that give us a hard time.

Like yesterday, Saturday..we had our prelims in Asian Civ and Intro. to Mass Comm, the prelims in Asian Civ was so hard, because the questions were so broad yet narrow, you get it? Like, "cite and discuss 10 factors which contributed to the development of the civilization in (choose 1) a)Egypt b)Mesopotamia c)India d)China and Compare and Contrast the Indian with the Chinese Civilization and the last one, Give the developments in the civilization from 500 BC to 200 AD..

Hello????? I don't even memorize the dates!

But..our prelims in Into. to Mass Comm was easy ah. And all of us just studies for that yesterday, 30mins before the class, cause magkasunod sila ng Asian Civ, 30mins lang pagitan. Mas madali, roles of communication, lessons o martial law, tapos may article na may questions kang sasagutan and yung isa bonus, most interesting topic.

O diba? Why are the other teachers giving us such a hard time..grrr!!!!

Anyway, sabay kami ni Jil nag-trike hanggang sa kanto tapos yung mag-isa na ako nag-commute going here to Parañaque.

Took aa bath and ate at home then off I went to Town!

Before meeting up eith Edward I saw Ate Aline, her tita and my inaanak Enzo!!!

Grabe anlaki na niya hindi na siya mukhang baby, mukha na siyang 2yrs old. Ang tangkad pa and taba! Hahaha! After that, we bought fries at NY Fries and Dips then we saw Bewitched...just a hint, it was hilarious!!!!

I was in tears, because of Will Ferrell!!!! It's a must-see if you just wanna laugh your ass off! Basta it's so funny! Specially the scene where he's trying to get his dog back.

Patty went inside the cinema and then we roamed around, si Edward din he roamed around, we met up and then we ate at our favorite Tempura Grill and went home...nag-inom, yosi with Tita Amping and Kuya..and then bangenge!!! Sleep!

Hehe!

Our prom pic, just recently sent by Tess..good one!

Shyet..

2005-08-09T04:25:00.000+09:00

Have so many things to do, but I'm so lazy to do all of 'em..

Actually, I'm supposed to be in our school today for our medical. But grrr it's a waste of time going there just for that. I'd rather have a good night's sleep.

Have a lotta homework and prelims to study for.

Friday, I went to school and had parish involvement during the afternoon up to 6:30.. twenty hours nako, YEY!!!!!

7 more hours and I'm out! Actually, I know I'll miss being in the parish, cause I also met a lot of good people there, Kuya Gil, Kuya Nicoli, Mang Domeng, Ms. Yumi, Ms. Joyce, Ms. Marlie and Ms. Ging! They're all so funny and friendlaaayy.. Accomodating, parang family!

I'll miss cleaning the chapel, oh well.. I could still continue doing that sans the grades, cause it's volunteer work.

Saturday, had my history class. Sheesh, long story. Kasi samin pag 3-hour class ang waiting time is 1 hour. So if the teacher doesn't get in in an hour then we could leave. Our teacher, Sir Patrick, is always late. He was late for an hour last Sat, so our classmates and I agreed that if we decide it's a free cut, when one goes, nobody will go back, so we won't have class anymore. We were all aware that Sir Patrick's going to get mad at us for sure, so we hurriedly went to the kubo outside. I was with Rizzy, Leah, Micah, Casey, Jaz, Laarni and Melai.

Tapos I was so paranoid I told them that we should just go to the condo cause we might bump into Sir Patrick or he might see us at the kubo..

Bigla na lang nagtext ang mga classmates na andun na si Sir and we still have a class, pinapabalik daw kami. ...Oh shit!

First we tried to contact the "Elite": Paula, Ate Jen, Mon and Jenna.. but after a long try we found out that they're there already. Kami pa pala yung huling dumating. Good thing Sir wasn't mad already when we went inside the room.

During our CA-21 class, I reported right away cause I had to go early. My tita and I went to the golden wedding anniv of Tita Jovits and Tito Tom at UST. So I only attended my CA-21 class for an hour.

The wedding was great, so was the reception. Ang galing nung quintet and vocalist yung kay Bernie Pasamba. Operatic yung voice nung vocalist barang si Pavarotti. Hehe! I also like the songs he sang during the reception. Gusto ko rin kasi yung oldies. The AVP was also touching, about the wedding, family life and the friends of Tita Jovits and Tito Tom.

Whew! 50 years, that's hard to beat, eh? Tita was so beautiful and she also delivered a great speech. Tito Tom sang pa! Naka ng!

Chino' band "Reefer" also played, in fairness magaling sila..I also liked it because I'm kindda into reggae. They played Englishman in New York, Waiting in Vain and many more!

Tita Nieva, Tito Vic and Tita Lee were also there. Anyway, there were so many surprises! The arrival of Misha, Jaira and Tito Jojo, Bernie Pasamba, the AVP, Church and venue, intermission number of the grandchildren...everything was a surprise!

It was fun! The food was also delish!

That night, I chatted with Edward and Ate Trina..haha parang napakalayo eh noh?

Yesterday I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Wedding Crashers with Edward. It was so funny! Oompaloompa!

Dad, mom and Patty went to Duty Free..they bought us havaianas. Black high-heeled havaianas at last!

Urgh..back to reality, schoolwork and endless handouts for me to read. C'est la vie.

Ohweeee..

2005-08-02T18:28:00.000+09:00

It's almost 2:30am and I just finished doing my paper in CA-1100 and also my outline in English. Shit. Umabot ng 15 pages yung paper ko and it was mostly because of my research in the net.
Saw Edward's game at Southville today, basketball
They won! Pink team, haha! 61-44
Cheered my heart out with Tita Pat and Thea
Saw Regina and Rachel, long lost friends, hehe!
Ate at Shakey's with Paulo, Tito Ed, Tita Pat and Edward
Ate the usual
Mom and Kuya Mark helped me with my outline for my thesis about the effect of the erupion of Mount Pinatubo in Bacolor and Cabalantian, Pampanga

Tired, have to sleep now..

As always..

2005-08-01T03:25:00.000+09:00

Last Tuesday, as I've said, was my birthday.. thank you sa mga nag-greet. Mga gumawa ng testi sa friendster, nag-offline message sa ym, mga nag-greet sakin sa school, my family, friends and fans..kung wala kayo, wala rin ako sa kinatatayuan ko. What the? Hahaha!
Nung Tuesday, it was like any other day. Pumasok ako sa school, nag-Filipino, nag-table tennis sa PE, nag-CA-1100 and English. So diba, yun nga..I had a birtdhay celebration at Pampanga, here at home and then last Tuesday, Edward fetched me at Katipunan and then we had dinner at Cafe Lupe. Dati pa namin napapagusapan na parang magnda don and that we'll eat there sometime. Yung sa Guadalupe, yung maraming billboard. Akala ko nga yung tipong ka-level na namin yung mga billboard. Hindi nga naman pala pwede, lakas ko mangarap..hahaha! Oh and he gave me this blue nike baseball shirt with orange, blue and yellow stripes on the sleeves. It's so me! I've been looking at it for quite sometime now. How sweet! I was so thankful, haha!
Wednesday, I had a rehearsal for a presentation for SangFil. Went to practice with Micah, Tine, Kat, Guada, Jaimie and Karen at UP Faculty Center. Kasama namin si Sir Bobet and yung mga taga-Kalayaan College. It was fun, ang bilis lang namin nag-rehearse, but nakuha naman namin kaagad. Si Sir Bobet nga pala yung director namin, and yung presentation namin was about our history from pre-colonial times up to present.
Thurday, we performed at Ateneo. Yung audience namin puro teachers. We were the opening number, ang daming naiyak kasi nga parang nauulit lang yung nangyari sa atin dati. Tapos we sang Dong Dong Ay, Pilipinas Kong Mahal and Lupang Hinirang. It was touching, because it also meant that we're efective and we really had that sense of nationalism. Naks! Pero seryoso ah.
Friday, same-same. Had class. Nagparish involvement na ako ulit during the afternoon. Guess what I did? Janitorial, haha! Nagwalis ako at naglinis ng simbahan and nagpulot ng mga tuyong dahon for 4 hours. Well, para maging apat na oras talagang naghanap ako ng malilinis ko. I guess mas gusto ko yung ibang work, basta hindi clerical, kasi mas may sense of achievement. Like yung naglilinis or nagsha-shine ng lamp, kasi nakikita ko yung produkto ng ginagawa ko.
Saturday, has Asian Civ up to 11. Miles and I went to UP after to check out the Adidas sale at Vinzon's Hall. Mahal pa rin eh, mga P1,797 pinakamura. Akala ko pa naman mga P500 or at least P1000 na lang. Oh well, diyan lumalabas ang amng pagka-KURIPOT. Haha, what a familiar word! We went to the small mall, haha small mall of UP yung puro xeroxan. I wouldn't call it a mall, parang tiangge na may doors. What the, market na nga lang. Store! We ate at Box-O-Rice. Veggie Mongolian forever!
Met up with Edward after! Bwaha! We were supposed to watch Wedding Crashers but di kami umabot sa 8:30 show, we got to Town at 8:45 na. Next time na lang, we were looking forward to seeing it pa naman. Oh well, that's life! We'll watch it next time!
Oh yeah, pictures below!

Hehe nag-start na ako mag-parish involvement.. Nung first working day ko, kasi may peace summit between the homeowners and squatters and it was organized by the parish. Because they have a leaflet for this brochure, and walang nakalagay na time. Ako yung nagsulat ng time "8:00am-5:00pm" sa lahat ng brochures halos. 4 hours akong nagsusulat. Just this Friday, I polished the lamps near the blessed sacrament. It was tarnish already so nilagyan ko ng kalamansi at metal polish after. Ang saya saya! Kasi 5 years na raw yon hindi nililinis o pina-polish..kaya at least may contribution ako sa Church. What else? I did a lot of school work, reporting in English, project in Intro to Mass Comm. My new friends and I wen to the mall last Tuesday. We made up for our PE class this Thurs. I hate ball control. Kailangan kasi walang mahulog, bawat isang hulog bawas sa grades. Haaay our teacher in history's so good, sabi nga namin gumawa na siya ng libro. Ang dami kong bagong natutunan. I'll insert it here sometime..

More Today Than Yesterday
The Spiral Staircase
[Written by Pat Upton]

I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
If all my dreams come true I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow

Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya

It's been a loooonnng week..

2005-07-04T07:35:00.000+09:00

I find myself looking forward to Saturdays. Phew! I went back to Katipunan last Monday, because we had a general assembly. Andami naming ginawa na school work this week, powerpoint na hindi pa samin pina-present kahapon, homeworks, notes, etc., etc., etc.

Napupuyat ako kakapanood sa Congress, nakaka-bwisit yung ibang representatives, sabat ng sabat. Halata naman dine-delay lang nila yung pagpapa-air dun sa Gloriagate tape.

Anyway, yesterday, sinundo ako ni Tita Pat and Edward sa Burgundy after my class. Kasama ko si Jil pumunta sa Burgundy, nung dumating na sila TitaPat, umalis na siya kasi may surprise party pa siyang pupuntahan. Batt empty na ako kaya di ko alam na ansa baba na pala sila Edward. Pagbaba ko aba nag-eenjoy kumakain ng sweet corn! Kasi diba maraming nagtitinda ng sweet corn sa Katipunan? Ayun, tapos pumunta kami sa Bagbag, sa ancestral home nila Tita Pat. Andun si Tita Pitchie, mommy niya, Tito Totoy, Kuya Mark, Kuya Milan, si Chuniting, and yung iba pang mga pinsan ni Edward na ambabait din, dahil sila yung nag-serve ng inumin and food. Kumain na rin ako ng mais kasi gutom nako eh.

Ngayon ko lang nalaman na may maternity clinic pala sila dati. Nakapunta na ako don before, pero nung burol yun ng lola ni Edward eh gabi na kaya di ko napansin na may maternity clinic pala! "Mag-buzzer lang kung manganganak na, hahaha!" Yung mga pinsan ni Edward, mga bading na mas maganda pa sa babae, grabe! I'm not kidding! Si Kuya Mark and Kuya Milan parang Kristine Hermosa tapos yung friend ni Kuya Mark kamukha ni Cindy Kurleto.

O yun nga, si Chuniting, 3yrs old, tapos ang kulit kulit niya pero nakakatawa. Ang Y niya W. Kumain ta taWo, mag-swimming na taWo! Tapos para siyang matanda mag-salita. "Halika, punta tawo sa labas kasi may ipapakita ako sawo!" Nakakandong siya sakin sa car nung pumunta kami sa tito nila Edward kasama sila Kuya Mark and Kuya Milan. Nagtuturuan kami ng stuff tapos tatanong kung anong kulay yon. After non, bumalik kami ulit sa bahay nila tapos tinignan ko yung mga antique. Andami rin.

Nag-SM North Edsa kami, Tita Pitchie, Tita Pat, Kuya Mark, Edward and ako, kasi nakipag-meet si Kuya Mark sa friend niya na kamukha nga ni Cindy Kurleto. Naka-hazard kami sa may Figaro. Binilhan na lang kami ni Tita Pat ng muffins and Mocha Frap. Hirap kasi ng parking. Nagpunta na kami ng Tomas Morato after to have dinner. Ayaw kami papasukin sa Ratsky's dahil may dala kaming mocha frap ng figaro kaya nag-CPK na nga lang kami. Andami naming inorder and busog na ako. Nagpa-takeout pa si Tita Pat ng Fettucine Alfredo for Tito Totoy and Tita Amping and Kuya Mark.

Grabe sa CPK, tingin ng tingin yung mga tao kay Kuya Mark and Lucy, akala ata artista sila e. As in may second look pa. Hehe! Kakatawa! Tisay pa sila pareho.

After dinner hinatid namin si Lucy, then sila Kuya Mark, then inuwi namin si Tita Pat and nag-CR si Edward. Bumili kami ng ice sa sinugba kasi nag-yaya sina Tita Amping makipag-inuman sa bahay with Kuya and Janee. Pagod na pagod na si Edward dahil siya ang nag-drive. Pero nakarami pa rin. Yosi, beer.

Pagod ako, pero sobrang saya kahapon! SOBRA!!!

Kakatapos ko lang kausapin si Tito Ambo about my homework in Theology. Salamat sa kanya!Sakit ng singaw ko.

Nakita ko nga pala ang mga pinsan ko sa ASAP, audience sila. Hello hello! Ay mali, dapat pala ako yung binabati nila.

Tired....zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZ

Inside the car while waiting at SM North..

..just turned 30!

2005-06-27T03:56:00.000+09:00

The bubus just turned 30 yesterday! Yep! 30 months! After having 2 quizzes and country data reporting in History, I had a migraine! I was with Jil at the library.. grabe ang sakit pag binubuksan ko mata ko, nakakasilaw! Anyway, we went to the library, cause our teacher Mrs. Marco wasn't around. De free cut pala, sayang.. Dapat sinabi man lang niya. Ayun, kwentuhan sa library. Tapos kumuha ako ng ponstan sa clinic and went home to take a nap. Buti after 30 minutes bumuti pakiramdam ko at lumarga nako't nag-commute.

Good thing wala namang rally na sumalubong sa akin katulad ng ini-expect namin ni Edward.

Nakauwi naman at nakarating. Tuwang tuwa nga yung mama sa terminal kasi puro coins yung bayad ko. Hehe!

Took a bath when I got home (naliligo ako, noh!) and waited for Edward, kasi nagpasundo ako sa kanya. Kala ko walang maghahatid sa akin kasi capping ni Kuya tapos ooperahan si Tatay sa Dasma. Dumating na pala si Tita. Malinaw na ang mata ni Tatay, YEY!

So ayun, Edward fetched me at around 4:30pm. Kinabahan nga ako kasi nung una sabi niya kasama niya dad and kuya niya. Kala ko kasama rin sa pagsundo sakin. Kakahiya naman diba?

Anyway, ayun... hindi pala. Mag-isa lang pala siya.

So pumunta kami ng Town. Saw Monster-in-law, which was so funny! Actually ang homework ko talaga sa Intro to Mass Comm is to show our fave ad in school. Eh fave ko yung ad ng Ayala Center, yung "I LOVE YOU MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY! Tentenenenenenen! But not as much as tomorrow!"

Eh di syempre inulit pa namin yung movie para ma-record yun kasi di naman namin nasimulan nung una. Yun pala wala na yung ad na yun. Kainis!

Anyway, nakakatawa nga yung movie. Ang gulo nga namin hahaha! Ang daldal kasi ni Edward, kwento ng kwento, buti nga walang tao sa likod, kung meron baka na-sssshhhhh na kami! Hahaha!

We went to the furniture stores after kasi naghahanap kami ng motion sensor para kay addy. Yung nagti-tweet tweet pag may dumaang tao. Tatlong stores na ata napuntahan namin. Buti naman nakakita kami. Eh di syempre gusto na naming bilhin yung mga nakita namain, lalu na nung nakita ni Edward yung rattan swing na parang hammock.

Tapos de kumain na kami sa CPK kasi minsan lang naman kami talaga kumakain sa mahal. Eh bat ba e may occasion naman diba, tsaka 30 months, HULLO?! =)

Ayun, matagal na kasi namin kine-crave yung orig bbq chicken salad (syempre kanya na yung chicken) tsaka fettucine alfredo with garlic cream sauce and chicken!

Hangsarap! salad pa nga lang busog na kami!

Tapos ayun, pagkatapos namin kasi..sinulit namin yung raspberry iced tea.

De pumunta muna kami sa bahay nila kasi may emergency si Edward, hehe! Tapos dinala namin yung food na natira kina Tita Pat & Paulo! Tapos andun muna ako sa kwarto ni Tita Pat, nanood kami ng Imbestigador pero mas nagkwentuhan don habang ginagawa ni Edward yung emergency niya, bwahahaha! Magagalit yun pag sinabi ko, krekrekrek!

Binigyan pa kami ng clover and popcorn, nakakatuwa nga e! Andami kasing pagkain! Tapos pagdating dito nag-inuman kami. Ako, Edward, Tita Amping, Janee and kuya! Nakarami rin. Hehe! Nag-slice si Tita ng cheese and pinulutan namin yung clover. Bumili kami kay Ponga ng beer. Tapos nung pinapauwi na si Edward sabi ni kuya, balik siya tapos hahatid na lang siya ni Kuya and Janee. Tapos bumalik nga siya, hinatid siya ng kuya niyang si Kuya Arnold na pulis matulis! Bumibili ako ng beer nung hinatid siya.

Nagpatuloy ang inuman! Sarap! Minsan minsan lang naman eh! Bat ba? Diba? It's healthy!

Sarap ng tulog ko!

Hay marami pang kailangang gawin! May powerpoint pa kami sa Intro to Mass Comm. Babu na!

Today I woke up late, cause I slept late too.. I watched the National Geographic right away to find the Lady from the Han dynasty, I don't know how to spell her name, cause narinig ko lang and it's Chinese. Anyway, it was interesting. They found her body and it hasn't decomposed yet. Parang bagong patay pa lang siya, but she died 2000 years ago. Apparently, she died because of a weak heart and there was a gallstone in her bile duct. She died in her 50's. Dun sa kabaong niya may drawing niya, naka-tungkod siya. They tried to find out why she was walking with a cane when she was just in her 50's when she died. Yun pala may fused disc siya sa back niya, she was very fat. She ate and ate, she's also one of the world's first couch potatoes. She lacked exercise kaya nahihirapan siya lumakad, gumagamit siya ng tungkod. And guess what they found in her stomach? ...Drum roll please! WATERMELON SEEDS! Amazing, eh? Eh kasi daw siguro dahil sa katakawan at kasarapan ng watermelon, hindi na niya napansin yung buto.

**Nanood nga pala ako ng National Geographic, kasi yung assignment namin sa Asian Civ is to watch the Pharoh's week and make a summary and reaction paper. Eh kagabi di ko nasimulan kaya pinanood ko yung kaninang umaga.**

Maganda rin yung Pharaoh's week, it was about how Howard Carter discovered King Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922. He was financed by Lord Carnarvon. Just when everybody thought that all the tombs in The Valley of the Kings were excavated already, Howard Carter searched for it there. He was an archaeologist and an artist at the same time. BinebentA niya yung paintings niya sa mga turista to fund his archaeological excavations. True enough, when Carter went to the doorway of the tomb, he found Tutankhamen's seal. Carnarvon and his daughter fled to Luxor. There were 16 steps going to the anti-chamber. Meron pang statwa na naka-bantay sa tomb niya. Andun yung everyday needs ni King Tut, yung upuan niya, karo. Lahat! Supersitious pala ang Egyptians parang Chinese. Sinasama yung mga kagamitan para ma-ensure yung safety niya sa after-life.

Just when they were about to open the granite lid of the sarcophagus, as in nung malapit na nilang makita yung laman ng sarcophagus, pinatigil ng Egypt yung excavation. Foreigners were banned from seeing and having anything to do with the tomb, including Carter. Tapos a few weeks after the excavation, Carnarvon died of a mosquito bite from his razor and then the cut was infected. Misteryoso nga eh, kasi pwedeng dahil sa curse of Osiris. Depende na yun sa inyo kuna naniniwala kayo sa mga ganon. Healthy naman kasi siya e.

Anyway, Egypt called for Carter a year after to help settle the dispute between Egypt and England. Pinabalik rin siya sa tomb, he found it just the way he left it. He opened the granite lid of the tomb with ropes suspended on the granite. As in manual labor lahat tapos sobrang bigat non ah..granite eh. Pag naangat na, ineexamine niya yung interior nung sarcophagus. Tatlong coffins yung nasa loob and they were tightly sealed to each other with a linen shroud. Sobrang ingat niya sa pagtanggal kasi nga diba, king yon. Tapos yung nasa pinakailalim na coffin, nakita niya yung funerary mask. Sa loob ng sarcophagus may 150 items, mostly made of gold. Yung funerary mask nga pala parang ginaya yung mukha ni Tutankhamen and it was also made of solid gold. It's with the Egyptian Museum at Cairo right now.

Rumor has it that Carter and Carnarvon went to the tomb 2 months before the excavation to get their share of Tutankhamen's jewels. Pero, hindi pa napapatunayan yon. Even so, Carter'a deterination led to the discovery of the world's most famous archaeological find.

**Anyway, kakagawa ko lang ng reaction paper and summary about that tsaka yung sa "The Burning Times," the period when women were suspected to be witches and burned at th stake. Around 9M women died in 300 years because they were regarded as witches. As in, kung widow ka, spinster, or you can heal the sick but you're not a doctor, or may kakaibang meron sayo kunwari you've lived longer than the life expectancy of your country..iispin witch ka. Grabe noh?**

O tama na, baka may humihilik na eh. Pumunta dito si Enzo, Tita Lee and Kuya Chad. Enzo is my godson. May lagnat kasi siya kaya nagpa-check up siya kay Dra. Paulino..eh malapit lang yun sa amin. Syempre nagpaka-mother naman ako kasi mahilig talaga ako sa mga bata eversince. O ayan may pictures pa, haha! May bluetooth na kasi kami, ASENSO!

Ayoko pa umuwi bukas sa Burgundy. =( Dami pang gagawin and wala lang..I miss our house and my family, pati si bubu! Huhuhuhu..uhog tulo. Hahaha!!!

P.S. Congrats nga pala kay Bubu Edward aka Kuya Dricky kasi antaas niya sa quiz at seatwork ngayon! I'm so happy for you, you know? MWAH! Krekrek!

O siya, kakain na ako ng arroz caldo!
