Shoot. Awarding's tomorrow. And I'm really really excited. Shoot. Thanks to my acad's busy schedule, tomorrow's gonna be a really busy day. I don't know how i will handle it. I've got a quiz for my Finance, and a 98% chance of reporting for my Filipino class. Dang it. I'm out of the classroom by 1, maybe I'll be home by 1:30. My mom told me na magpaparlor daw kami. Ekk! Magpapaparlor!? Ekk! Sana wag na. But my mom insisted. Minsan lang daw mangyari sa buhay ko 'to, dapat daw lubus lubusin na. I really didn't know what that 'lubos lubosibn na' means. But she have a point. Minsan lang ako tatanggap ng Palanca, dapat naman magmukha akong tao. I have no plan whatsoever on putting on some make up. I think I'm allergic. Hehe. This is the greatest day of my life and i don't want to spoil it by wearing some uncomfortable paint on my face. Whatever, aika. So much for that. ----------------------------- This is an open letter for you. Sige, tagalog para happy happy joyjoy. Di ko alam. Alam mo, gulong gulo na din ako sayo. Di ko alam kung sino ang manhid, ikaw o ako. Feeling ko ako. Pero minsan, feeling ko ikaw. Whew. Don't blame me. Magulo lang talaga 'tong panahon na 'to. Minsan naisip ko kung bumabalik nanaman ba ako sa 'fairy tale state' na pagiisip. Minsan, ayaw ko itake for granted ang mga nakikita at nararamdaman ko, kasi sa huli, ako nanaman ang aaapektuhan. Duh, ilang beses na nangyari sa akin yan, ayaw ko na maulit yun ulit kasi katangahan na yun eh. Kung may tinatanong/itatanong ka na hindi mo matanong sa akin sa di ko rin alam na kadahilanan, ang sagot ay OO. (kung tama ang hinala ko na yun nga ang itatanong mo. Wateber) (ang 'oo' ay aplikabol lamang sa hindi pang pinansyal na bagay bagay. salamat po) ------------------------------- Napanood ko na ang My Sassy Girl! Thanks to a mysterious DVD copy on the top of the PC, however it got its way there. I think it belongs to my brother (with it was a copy of Windstruck. I want to watch it, but i have to study for tomorrow). I love the movie! It's really funny, at the same time romantic. Pramis, naiyak ako(crybaby! crybaby!). Most especially at the last part. Oopps, I don't wanna spoil everything. Watch the movie. Ang cute cute talaga ng story! And in fairness, may nakuha akong quote sa pelikula: "You know what fate is? Building a bridge of chance for someone you love" Booyah. *Question: wala talagang pangalan yung girl?:D

Ok. So, if you are studying at UST and visit UST lib, particularly the SocSci floor and, by any chance, find a piece of paper with my name and number on it, do me a favor and throw it away, will you?:D Long story, but I'll tell it anyway. Last Friday, my 'so-called' friends and I went to the library and did some research for our History class. My 'beloved'*i'm being sarcastic here* friend named Hershey Homol,bless her, wrote my number on pieces of papers for self amusement. I thought that she wasn't serious about it that was why i didn't mind her at all. But instead, she showed me pieces of papers with my whole name, phone and cellular numbers and some stuff written on it all. It was totally devastating. To add up to my suprise, she distributed the papers randomly! It was really humiliating! What if *toot* suddenly find an urge to visit SocSci and find my number on one of the pages of the book. Argh!!! Pasalamat ka Hershey, mahal kita. Ps. Pasalamat ka ulit Hershey, wala pang nagtetext...:P ---------------------------------------- Something tells me that the coming week will be one hell of ride. We've got tons of papers to pass, I have an individual report, maybe on Thursday(can you believe that? ON THURSDAY?), and a group report is coming up for our major class. Whew. ----------------------------------------- What do you do when you BADLY(100x) misses someone? There was this person that I really miss. Kaasar. For the very 1st time in my life, i feel this feeling of missing someone, and I even have no idea why! Talk about late mental adolescence. Ngayon pa nga lang ako pumapasok ng puberty. Haha! Anyways, naramdaman nyo na ba yun? Like you are looking forward to check your email hoping for a new message or you are excited to go home because you are hoping to see his number at your caller id. That kind of stuff. I hate the feeling. I really really hate the feeling. Ciet, nagdadalaga na ako. (the phone rang. I hope it is him) (no it's not him) ----------------------------------------- prof: you know class, thunder is ammonia student: eh sir, diba yung ammonia yung pinapaamoy sa nahihilo? prof: yah yah, yun na nga yun. student: eh sir, pano nila nakukuha yun sa thunder?

"I wanna tell you everything vis a vie Won't you come up closer i want to hear you breathe I'm walking down the street I'm lost at sea Out of the crowd you'd smile and you're all i see..." Was there a part of your life where in you were entirely lost in a stranger's smile? As if his red red lips and perfect teeth were remedies of the past's scars? "You make me feel like i can get lost inside your eyes I feel closer to the sky when you save the day with just a smile Just a smile" Yes. That part of my life took place today. This pefect day. "I wanna meet you someday soon cause i know you in my mind Everything will be different when i have you right beside You can take the whole wide world with your boyish charm But even as you hold me close I want to stay in your arms" The movie slides of that moment are still stuck on my mind, hoping for a cinema rerun. But as I said, we are strangers. Now, I have to search the whole world again(well, not literally) to see his smile. That darn perfect smile. But, come to think of it, one smile is enough to last me a lifetime. "Looked for you in everyone i thought i'd search the world in vain Now you look at me in such a storm We will never be the same, not the same" Nah... who am I kidding anyway? Ciet. *the bolded parts are Just one smile of Barbie's Cradle.

I just had the weirdest dream ever! I dremt that I was running really really fast ang guess who was chasing after me. Chad Michael Murray. Ang weird weird talaga! It was just so frustrating that my mom woke me up long before Chad catched up. Argh. If I could at least control that dream, I would let him catch me. Hehe. I so love that guy.:) ----- Nasira ko yung electric fan ko. Patay.

With National Artist F. Sionil Jose at Fiction Forum today, held at the UST-CCWS for the Thomasian Writers Guild. Cool. Sorry. Too starstrucked to blog. Awesome day. One of the few productive days of my life (Cirilo Bautista, Ophelia Dimalanta and Eric Melendez were there too!) . I think I should start writing fiction. Or maybe not. Or maybe i should.

You know what i really hate? Repeating a post. This was originally typed last Sunday. But because of some weird and annoying circumstances, our PC restarted (and i haven't saved the entry yet) and everything else were put into waste. Now, I have to retype everything....Ok, here goes. Last saturday, Mel and I went to SM San Lazaro to hang out. It was totally fuN! AS IN FUN! Time flied so fast that we went home at around 9:30 pm(we were not aware since we lost track of time). Thanks for the time, Mel! Sa uulitin!!!:) We watched Bewitched. I was really looking forward for that movie since the original series was a favorite. Nicole Kidman was so cute and no one could have done the part better! The movie was really really cute!!!:) Nicole looked a lot like Elizabeth Montgomery(the original 'witch')! ------------------------------ OMG! UST won against UP! Woohoo! That was awesome! Too bad i didn't watch the game( come to think of it, Bonn was texting me the last-to-the-minute updates that was why i didn't bother to watch it. Ahehehe) GO TIGERS!:) ------------------------------ Bonn and I went to SM Manila today. He bought a pair of shoes for his 'performance'. He purchased his shoes at Rusty Lopez (really inexpensive shoes. He sure knew where to find a bargain!). Then, on our way down, we dropped by...um... I forgot the exact name of the store(i'm such a loser!). They sell shoes-slash-athletic stuff (duh, wag ka nang mataka kung di ko alam yung name ng store. I'm not really athletic, you know). Jayvee told me that they sell Chuck Taylors. Ayun nga, we dropped by and I visited my soon-to-be baby... an orange pair of hi-cut Converse Chuck Taylor (it was worth1750). I soooooo wanted to buy that shoes for months now. It was just that money always found its way out of me. ALWAYS. Kaya yung baby ko na yun ang unang una kong bibilhin! Tapos, bibili ako ng automatic na payong! Booyah!:) I wonder, kaano ano kaya ni Chuck Taylor si Chester Taylor. Corny na. ------------------------------ Here is a song currently burned in my head. I strongly dedicated this song to J*toot*(and you really thought that i would tell you ei? Boowahahahah!) Para Sa'yo PnE Lumayo ka na sa akin wag mo akong kausapin parang awa mo na wag kang magpapaakit sa'kin ayoko lang masaktan ka malakas akong mambola hindi ako santo PERO PARA SA'YO AKO'Y MAGBABAGO KAHIT MAHIRAP KAKAYANIN KO DAHIL PARA SA'YO HANDA 'KONG MAGPAKATINO LAGING ISIPIN LAHAT AY GAGAWIN PARA SAYO Hindi ikaw yung tipong niloloko at hindi naman ako yung tipong nagseseryoso at kahit sulit sana sayo ang kasalanan lolokohin lang kita kaya kung pwede dahil ayaw ko ngang masaktan ka wag kang maniniwala hindi ako santo! Bakit nakikinig ka pa matatapos na ang kanta pinapatakas na kita mula nung unang stanza hindi ka ba natatakot baka ikaw ay masangkot sa mga kasalanan ko... --------------- PLUG PLUG PLUG. MYMP, SPONGECOLA, and BONN MONZON ALL IN ONE SHOW??? Dang iT! Edukasiyahan, a variety show by the UST College of Education will be held at the Medicine Auditorium(Med-Od para sa mga tamad) this coming Aug 23, that's tuesday. It was something something something. Honestly, I don't know what the show is for. All i know is that my good good friend will be performing! So WATCH! MYMP and SPONGECOLA(not HALE, they backed out, i think) will be performing. A ticket costs 120 bucks. Hey, seeing Bonn performing live? It's all worth it! Boowahahaha! Contact anyone from the college of education. Ok, so not anyone. Just ask the guard where the Education Student Council office is located(never ask Bonn. maliligaw lang kayo, pramis. hehe) and ask the people there. Friendly naman sila eh:) So, nood na!:D PS ke Bonn: ayan, me advertisment ka pa dito. mahal ang space sa web, you owe me one... i mean you owe me a LOT:D PS2: magdadala kaming banner. pwede yellow pad nalang? krisis eh:)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...

... to those people who stopped whatever they were doing just to say 'congrats' or 'astig ka!' or 'I'm so proud of you!' or even 'san mo kami ililibre?'. That really really really(did i say really?) meant a lot to me. Some texted me with the sweetest words ever, some even called up just to say congrats. Others wanted the world to know about it that they posted it in friendster. YOU GUYS ROCK!(Translation: Bato kayo! Kidding).

Remember the Makati-slash-pagudin-natin-ang-sarili-natin trip that Jen and I went through last April 30? No? Refresh your memory here. That was when we passed our entries. It was an uber super secret that Hershey had no clue we joined (she only found out just now, or last wednesday, to be exact). She just thought that we went there for self agony. That was just half of it.:D

Honestly, I already forgot about it since hindinga ako umaasa. That's why I was really suprised to see a CPF envelope in my hand. The feeling was superb. I wish I could share it with you guys. If you only knew what the feeling was. It was way way way WAAAAY better than seeing Jemal Vizcarra and Marvin Cruz half naked.

It was a long term goal. I told myself that before I die, wanted to a) to be a pornstar, and b) win a Palanca.

NOW I ONLY HAVE TO TO BE A PORNSTAR! Buwahahaha!:)

*of course, I'm kidding*

Anyway, if you wish to own a copy of my entry, just leave a comment with you email. Intiendes? Good:)

Have a nice weekend everyone!:D

O.M.G.(the 3 words/letters enough to describe how i feel) So, i promised i would not post any words, not until the preliminary examinations are through. Dang it. This is the happiest day of my life yet, and no one's gonna stop me from posting. When I got home today from school, only my sister was at home and my tita's standing outside. My Tita: "Aika, may LBC ka." Aika: "LBC? Package?" My Tita:"Di, parang sulat eh" Aika:"Ah... ano po kaya yun? nasan na?" My Tita:"nasa loob na, binigay ko na kay janet. tara tignan natin...ano kaya yun?"(mas excited pa sa akin!) Aika:*entered house* "san na, janet?" *handed over the LBC* Don Carlos Palanca Foundation was written at the envelope. Sh*t. My hand were literally shaking Sa utak ni aika: Shemens, waw naman, imbitado pa yata ako sa awarding. Lahat siguro ng sumasali, imbitado. Astig. The letter: Dear Ms. Pascual: Congratulations! Your entry entitled "Alaala ng Quiapo" in the Kabataan Sanaysay category of the 55th Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature contest was adjudged second place by this year's board of judges... Congratulations... Carlos Palanca ... second place... everything else went black. F*ck. I just won a Palanca. I just won a Palanca. I just won a Palanca (repeat 100x) *I would like to dedicate this one a.) to God, of course, for giving me all the blessings I need. Boyfriend naman po sa susunod. Joke.Haha!:D Thanks so much!b.) to my Jenny Lei Ravelo for everything. as in everything! This one's for you my pretty anak! c.) to my daddy. hehe, di kasi ako nakunig sa kanya, ehdi sana di kami nagkandaligaw ligaw sa pagpasa ng entry! Thanks so much for the support daddy! Miss you! d.) most especially to my mom. The essay was all about her anyway.(ang drama...)

Prelims will be next week. Dang it! We all, i think, are uber busy because of paper works and 'pahabol' quizes. Sorry, I won't be posting anything really exciting for now. My mind is kinda occupied by schoolworks. Please pardon me:)

I WILL BE BACK REALLY SOON!

*after 2 weeks to be exact*
