birthday.part two

i should ve waited for these day to finish before writing a post for my birthday. kasi all i did was talked about my ust experince this morning. pano, i was nt planning to celebrate my birthday. i even failed to notify my friends to come over. yan tuloy di sila pinayagan kasi late na nag-paalam. kaya i was nt really expecting visitors to come. actually, there were only three of us in the house this afternoon. mama was in a meeting and ate kim was at abram s place. my merienda handa was pancit, cake and ice cream. konti lang kasi we ll be celebrating kuhn s birthday the next day. e bubonik plague showed up. in other words nag-volunteer pumunta kahit walang invitation. kunwari they ll return the bass guitar, makikikain lang naman. pero syempre i need to be hospitable. kaya yun pinakain ko sila. ang galing nga e naubos nila yung pancit. tapos yun ang gulo ng sofa. pero ok na rin siguro. after they left, kris, kuhn and i had a retro party. as in complete with accessories and 70 s inspired outfit. pero it was nt super extravagant. yung parang masabi lang na 70 s party. mom and ate arrived right after the so-called retro party. tapos i told them na ice cream and cake na lang natira because 5 schoolmates were here nung afternoon. mom was ok about it kasi at least i had visitors. buti they brought home cheese sticks and some macaroni.

to sum it all, my birthday was fun :]. i did unusual things a birthday celebrant would do. and even if i did nt plan for a birthday party, i had a very unexpected/unusual celebration. salamat kay (alphabetical) andrew c., andrew g., harold, kevin at sean. salamat sa pagkanta ng happy birthday :]. kahit makapal mukha niyo ayos lang.

ps
its the 29th of april, birthday na ni kuhn! happy birthday! :]

birthday

it s my 17^th birthday!:].

i woke up early this morning because i need to go to UST. the academic placement is scheduled today. we traveled all the way from antipolo to espana just to get there early. but the guard told us to wait because they were not yet given any instructions. so we spent an hour just sitting and feeling annoyed because of the hot weather. then this guy told us to check board no.43 near espana gate to see whether we made the cutoff. hello?! we were at the main building. sana he told us earlier that we need to check the list first before going there. kaya i walked under the heat of the sun. when i got there, the people were crowding in front of the board. i was desperately trying to see the list for the faculty of arts and letters. to my dismay, there was no list for that program. kaya tuloy i was thinking na it was so unfair because they included it in the list of available slots. i read all the list hoping that i somehow made it in one of those programs. pero sana lang, the courses were accounting, commerce, engineering and so forth. it ll be a miracle if my named got lost in one of those courses. kaya yun, i was feeling kinda sad because my dream of studying in uste was crushed. thank God i saw this note saying that the announcement for the faculty of arts and letters will be on may 15. all we had to do was pass certain requirements before may 2. i was relieved and grateful because God is so good. bale we went there early in the morning because i expected an interview. pero i think ok na rin kasi atleast i still have a chance..hehe :]. Thank you God! I heart you!

happy birthday to my dear friend carla francisco! :]

maraming salamat sa lahat ng bumati sa akin. sa mga kaibigan na hindi nakalimot, kay buti niyo :].

hanzo greeting me a happy birthday :]

entries.exams.expectations

whenever i think about my future blog entries, i feel happy. i always thought that i sound so carefree and natural. i guess that that thought is undeniably wrong. why am i sounding so stiff all of a sudden? its like, i automatically become different whenever i start typing. its easier to think about posts than to actually type it. grr..grr..grr. why am i making it sound like its a big deal? there are a lot of things to worry about other than blog entries.

mrs.barreto wasnt able to finish my recommendation form. what will happen to me? tomorrow s the schedule of my entrance test. and without that recommendation, im toast. kasi naman e. if only i passed my USTET, i wont bother applying to that all girls school. unfair ka talaga fate! you deprived me of great privileges. i ll pray to God for that greatest birthday gift.

enough school talk, i ll deal with that sooner. i think im gonna be hooked on PBB teen edition. blame it all to matt. he's so charming and a little quiet. well, that s my first impression. but i like the fact that the background music for his vtr was 'hands down'. ang galeng :]. and i think that was his voice and not chris carrabba s. he knows dashboard..haha. i only wish that he s a different matthew from my ate s classmate back in fourth grade. kasi ate kim had a classmate named matthew evans. he s also half american and he speaks tagalog fluently. the uncommon thing between them is the hair. but come on, who would allow a fourth grader to have an afro, right? one thing that makes that show interesting is the fact that they re all teenagers. kuya s house will surely be enveloped with fun, friendship and hypocrisy. not that we havent seen it from the past season. its just that teenagers do it in a different way. watch them morph from a cheery person to a backstabbing git. teenagers do that most of the time. even the most naive person can surprisingly be a ninny. sige enough about this nonsense assumptions about PBB. baka mamaya i ll find myself stuck in the island of conclusions with only canby as companion.

last saturday i tried to edit my blog skin. but from the looks of it, failed attempt. dapat talaga you install adobe first before editing anything concerning graphics and pictures. yan tuloy, i wasted precious time for the nth time. kasi naman, this skin is preety useless. the textbox is sooo small and you cannot even view the archives. the only reason i got this is because of the summer vibe. cool B]

swim. bday. plan

my hiatus for the holy week became a two week leave. sigh. i just cant seem to find time for blogging anymore. so much has happened for the past week.

swimming- we had another swimming getaway last monday. it was kris s barkada swimming. we just squezze our way through to join them..hehe. it was a nice experience actually. we were able to bond with my sister s friends. anyway, im happy because im able to enjoy the water and the sun. and my skin color is not too dark unlike before. the only problem last monday was those magnanakaw ng kickboard. ay naku, how i wish they were aware that those were ours. we did not rent that or anything. poor kris. she got burned from the exhaust of the car. for the blow by blow details, just click on to paola's blog. you'll read our other kamalasans that day.
kris s birthday- kris celebrated her 16th birthday lasy thursday. wala lang. food trip.
trip- we went all the way from antipolo to cubao to visit dd s old house. we were suppose to watch silent hill but the premiere is scheduled next wednesday. then window shopping in gateway. hirap maging pennyless. but still, sarap mag window shopping while discussing anything under the sun.
maid no more- la na kaming helper. she left yesterday for palawan. anyway, she was bound to go one way or another. kaya expect that we'll be cleaning like house elves from today onwards. or maybe its just ate kim and me na will be cleaning like house elves..hehe.

need to plan for ate kims debut because its getting nearer. the venue is the only sure thing. the date might be screwed up pa. i could just hear kris say 'pre planning prevents poor performance'. and speaking of which, i havent even started making that essay for my st.paul data file. nakakatamad mag-isip. what do you wish to accomplish within the duration of your paulinian education? e what if hindi ako maging paulinian? gusto ko nga thomasian e. buti pa si dd. shes already enrolled in ust. she got her schedule yesterday morning. swerte :]. sana ako din.

i like my new skin because its so summer-y. pero i think i ll edit this one of this days. i think im even getting the hang of it. haha. whatever that means.

week leave

i’ll be on a hiatus next week for the observance of Holy week. because unlike others, our family observes the tradition of Holy week. you may call it corny and so-old fashioned, i don’t care. i personally think that we should respect the death and passion of Jesus Christ. and by the celebration of Holy week, we could commemorate the sacrifice and love of our savior. lets make a little sacrifice and abstain from living a gluttonous life.

since it will take me seven days to post another entry again, expect my thoughts to be crowded. man, i hate it when that happens. add the fact that my grammar is suffering from lack of verbal clarity. i envy those who could instantly construct a polish paragraph. ako? i still need to squeeze my brain for some catchy ideas. bad trip. teka, why am I sounding so bitter all of a sudden. maybe the thought of this hiatus is clouding my logical reasoning. so what if im not fluent? kaya nga naimbento practice diba? haha..tama. i’ll practice and hone my abilities to the highest extent.

leche. ang corny ko. epekto to ng init at longing. but atleast i manage to scavenge my brain for something. crap.

birthdays:
happy birthday :]

ps.

this must be love

Maybe my grandfather’s happy about all this, but I’m miserable. I cant eat; I cant watch tv; I cant seem to do anything.
So I went to bed early, but I cant sleep. I’ve watch her house from my window for hours now. I’ve stared at the sky; I’ve counted sheep. But man, I cant kicking myself for what an idiot I’ve been all these years.
And now how am I going to make her listen to me? I’d scale that monster sycamore if I could. Right to the top. And I’d yell her name across the rooftops for the whole world to hear.
And since you know what a tree climbing weenie I am, I think its pretty clear that Im willing to do anything to get her to talk to me. Man, I’ll dive after her into a chicken coop full of poop if that’s what it takes. I’ll ride my bike all the stinkin’ way to school for the rest of eternity if it means being with her.
Something. Ive got to come up with something to show her that Ive changed. To prove to her that I understand.
But what? How to I show her that Im not the guy she thinks I am? How do I erase everything Ive done and start over?
Maybe I cant. Maybe it just cannot be done. But if Ive learned one thing from Juli Bake, its that Ive got to put my whole heart and soul into it and try.
Whatever happens, I know my grandfather’s right about one thing.
I’ll never be the same again.

sorry for being such a spoiler…hehe:]. I just cant help it. ive really fallen over Flipped. i mean, im practically head over feet over that book. and every time i read it, it gives me the chills. and honestly, anyone who’ll read this book will surely love the opposing characteristics of the two narrators. this he-said, she-said novel will make you look beneath the surface. a perfect read for anyone who wants to realize that everything is not what they seem to be. and surely, this book is greater than the sum of its parts. ;]
