blog bits..

tapos ko nang ma-download yung My Sassy Girl.. after watching the film, i was left unsatisfied.. i mean, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST! THIS MOVIE IS WAAAAAAAAAY OVERHYPED!

pero, i just read in a review na you've got to know the secrets of the movie to fully appreciate it.. well, i know two na.. the quintuplets thing and the old-man-from-the-future thing..

i've downloaded a handful of other great stuff in Ares.. Pokémon Movies 5, 6 & 7, songs from MSG & Windstruck, some songs i've been dying to download since way back when, some of the newest hit songs [Will Smith's SWITCH rocks!], and a lot of FRIENDS episodes..

on queue right now are some more Friends episodes, LotR: tRotK, The Incredibles, some JT stuff [no, i'm not a fan.. ^_^], and some rare MSG & Windstruck songs..

hay.. if only i can download Windstruck too.. haaay..

nakakaasar.. i've got only few nocturnal beings in my Y!M list.. la tuloy akong maka-chat tuwing gabi..

---

the word [bejesus] is an alteration pala of 'by jesus'.. lalang.. just felt like sharing it..

---

for the love of christ, I NEED TO DO SOMETHING [uy britney! ^_^] MEANINGFUL THIS SUMMER! i want to learn or do something that interests me, like going to summer school, or get a job [no, i don't to tend our shop]..

i just feel like my time's being wasted here in Calamba..

things are slow with Britney.. sana magkaroon na siya ng new album! tapos preggy daw siya.. ewan..

my very, very in-demand friend is already single..

nalungkot ako when i heard the news.. nakakatuwa pa naman sila.. they weren't your ordinary couple kasi.. they broke the norms, they faced all obstacles together..

then, they broke up..

sayang sila.. siguro nasasayangan ako sa kanila kasi, yun nga, they weren't your ordinary couple.. yun rin siguro yung reason kung bakit natutuwa ako sa kanila..

sabi niya sakin, next na relationship na daw niya, normal nalang daw ulit..

i confessed to her rin na andaming nagpapalakad sa akin sa kanya [mali ba? is it the other way around? anyway..].. sa susunod ko nalang siya ilalakad sa iba.. i'll give her time to recover [although she's been giving hints na she's ready for another one na]..

also, sa susunod ko nalang din sasabihin sa kanila na available na siya.. lalang.. maghintay sila..Ü

unless may makabasa sa kanila nitong blog ko!

here's a post by PATTY..

hwah!

what's in a name? a rose by any other name would still reek of aldehydes...

that scent begins in the chloroplasts, the structures in the green parts of roses that use chlorophyll to harness the energy of sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and other products the plant needs. the scent's basic compounds, in a non-fragrant form called glucosides, are transported to the petals. there, an enzyme turns the glucosides into glucose and alcohol. tiny cones on the inside of the petals, called paillae, expose these alcohols to the air, here they combine with oxygen to form aldehydes, which are 200 times as fragrant as the original alcohols--and don't smell the same, either. that's why the scent of a rose changes with the eather: on a cold, cloudy day, there's very little fragrance, while on a hot, dry day, the fragrance is strong but short-lived.

in short, ROSES SMELL GOOD.

man, i love being a nerd.

man, i've gotta hand it to her.. she's one of the best and brightest writers of generation.. who could object? she's very VERY smart, and couple that with expertise in manipulating the tongue and the pen, and what have you got? Patty!

ever experienced blacking out?

ako? almost lang naman... pero as in super close na... trust me...

one day kasi, sa social science class namin nung 3rd year pa ko, my mind wandered off the lesson, pero closely-connected parin naman sa lesson namin...

i was unconciously twitching my lips when all of the the sudden my teacher was angrily facing me... ito pa man din yung tipo ng teacher na ayaw mong makagalitan o makaaway kasi close sa inyo, at pag nagalit, galit talaga...

di ko lam kung wat gagawin ko nung time na un... i tried to reason out, pero because of nervousness nung time na yun, kung ano ano ang lumabas sa mouth ko... di ko agad nai-defend sarili ko... so, pinalabas niya ako...

outside, i felt like my whole world will collapse... pano ba naman first time ko na maganon, sa nakakatakot pa na teacher... manginginig talaga ako noon, nahilo ako, literally nangitim ang paningin ko, parang may tunnel sa center where i can see my surroundings, muntik na ako mag-collapse...

muntik lang naman.. buti na lang i somehow got myself up bago mapahiya... pano ba naman kasi kalaki-laki kong tao, tapos magfe-faint bigla? naisip ko kasi, sino magbubuhat sa akin?

basta... never kong makakalimutan yun... NEVER EVER.. thanks a lot, sir renion..

tuesday is horror day kasi i had two exams that day: ENL033 and SOC013.. pero, turns out, ayos lang pala ang araw ko..

yung exams sa ENL033 this term is EXACTLY THE SAME as the ENL033 exam i photocopied from the exam archives in the library! what luck! so, mataas na ako doon! yahoo! kaya, kahit sobrang late na akong nag-start mag-exam, e naunahan ko pa yung mga classmates ko.. so, it really pays to use past exams in dry runs..

tapos, diba i failed to take my SOC013 exams last friday? nakalimutan ko na after that class ay pupuntahan namin yung i-interview-hin namin for our project.. e i only remembered the project when i saw ATE JINETTE dun sa examination room.. woah, nakakahiya.. pero, sinabi niya, ayos lang daw.. i-cover man lang sana daw yung share namin sa expenses.. nakakahiya man, nanjan na, e.. la nang magagawa, so i paid her nalang.. thanks a lot talaga, ate jinette.. i owe you a lot..Ü

the SOC013 test pa pala.. hayun, because of what happened dun sa test sa english, todo review na rin ako ng psycho.. pero, bago pa mag-test, sinabi sakin ni MELVIN, iba daw.. so yun.. lalang.. ehehehe.. asa naman ako.. LOLz..

ehehe.. la akong test nung wednesday.. the exams scheduled today are the subjects under the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry.. e, pano yan, i did not take my PHY124 or CHEM123 this term.. kasi i do not want to be enrolled in a class full of 2nd takers.. kasi most of the time, in classes like these, the professors tend not to take the students seriously.. so, kahit anong gawin mong pagsisikap, hanggang pangarap nalang ang matataas na grado.. e don't want that, lalo na't i'm aiming for a scholarship.. di pwedeng sa hula lang nga grade mapunta ang pinagpagurang pera ng nanay at tatay ko..

the test in CS113P is easy, except of course the base interconversion part..

it is easy, well, at least for me.. kasi heavy talaga ang background ko sa computers and technology, pero pano na yung other classmates ko? kawawa naman yung karamihan [siguro] sa kanila..

ang tinuro lang naman kasi sa amin ni GONZALES ay base interconversion.. yep.. walang flowchart.. walang concepts.. hindi considered ang self-printed-ebook-distributed-by-the-quack-through-our-useless-yahoogroup na tinuro, so, all in all, walang kahit na ano..

anyway, okay lang naman ang test..

---

ngayon, nandito na ako sa bahay namin.. todo download na ito!

i'm currently downloading POKÉMON THE MOVIE 6: JIRACHI THE WISH MAKER.. on queue parin ang MY SASSY GIRL.. next na idadownload ko ay WINDSTRUCK.. Friday, March 18, 2005 at 4:35 AM

it takes a korean to open our eyes..

here is a Korean's essay about the philippines..

---

Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Let me first talk about my country, Korea. It might help you understand my point. After the Korean War, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Koreans had to start from scratch because entire the country was destroyed completely after the Korean War, and we had no natural resources.

Koreans used to talk about the Philippines, for Filipinos were very rich in Asia. We envy Filipinos. Koreans really wanted to be well off like Filipinos. Many Koreans died of famine. My father's brother also died because of famine.

Korean government was awfully corrupt and is still very corrupt beyond your imagination, but Korea was able to develop dramatically because Koreans really did their best for the common good with their heart burning with patriotism. Koreans did not work just for themselves but also for their neighborhood and country. Education inspired young men with the spirit of patriotism.

40 years ago, President Park took over the government to reform Korea. He tried to borrow money from other countries, but it was not possible to get a loan and attract a foreign investment because the economy situation of South Korea was so bad. Korea had only three factories. So, President Park sent many mine workers and nurses to Germany so that they could send money to Korea to build a factory. They had to go through a horrible experience.

In 1964, President Park visited Germany to borrow money. Hundred of Koreans in Germany came to the airport to welcome him and cried there as they saw the President Park. They asked to him, "President, when can we be well off?" That was the only question everyone asked to him. President Park cried with them and promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea, and the President of Germany got the strong impression on them and lent money to Korea. So, President Park was able to build many factories in Korea.

He always asked Koreans to love their country from their heart. Many Korean scientists and engineers in the USA came back to Korea to help developing country because they wanted their country to be well off. Though they received very small salary, they did their best for Korea. They always hoped that their children would live in well off country.

My parents always brought me to the places where poor and physically handicapped people live. They wanted me to understand their life and help them. I also worked for Catholic Church when I was in the army. The only thing I learned from Catholic Church was that we have to love our neighborhood. And I have loved my neighborhood.

Have you cried for the Philippines? I have cried for my country several times. I also cried for the Philippines because of so many poor people. I have been to the New Bilibid prison. What made me sad in the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their country. They go to mass and work for Church. They pray everyday. However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked to two prisoners at the maximum security compound, and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighborhood.

The owners of factory and company were distributed their profit to their employees fairly so that employees could buy what they needed and saved money for the future and their children.

When I was in Korea, I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I came to the Philippines, I completely lost my faith. I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines. Street kids always make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia, but there are too many poor people here. People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing has been changed. My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation. They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there so many beggars and street kids. When we went to Pagsangjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because it would fun.

However, they were not happy after taking a boat. They said that they would not take the boat again because they were sympathized the boat men, for the boat men were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it. But my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them.

My mother who has been working for Catholic Church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves, we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because all of us are same and have received a great love from God.

I want Filipinos love their neighborhood and country as much as they love God so that the Philippines will be well off. I am sure that love is the keyword which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from person. Love must start in everybody in a small scale and have to grow. A lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let's put away our prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes. I discover that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love, because it makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It changes people, contexts and relationships. It changes the world.

Please love your neighborhood and country. Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others we do to Him. In the Philippines, there is God who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love.

If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their neighborhood and country. You already know that God also will be very happy if you love others. That's all I really want to ask you Filipinos.

You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


Congratulations! If your mission in life is not already to preserve the English tongue, it should be. You can smell a grammtical inaccuracy from fifty yards. Your speech is revered by the underlings, though some may blaspheme and call you a snob. They're just jealous. Go out there and change the world.

naks naman.. some of my close dormmates can attest to this.. sa tuwing nagkakamali sila sa pagi-english, i tend to correct them right away [although i'm not always sure of my grammar, mind you].. Thursday, March 17, 2005 at 2:30 AM

study habits..

kahapon, nakita ko siya sa org table nila..

nakakainggit.. nag-aaral sila..

oo.. naiingit ako, kasi NAGAARAL SILA..

natatandaan ko pa nung high school.. noong mga panahong nagbo-board pa ako sa Bacena..

group study.. minsan pa nga, quiz bee style.. nagtatanungan kami.. nagtutulungan..

hindi ganon ang sitwasyon ngayon..

nakakatamad mag-aral.. pano ba naman.. mag-isa ka lang..

sila pa ang nagtatanong sayo.. nakakamiss na rin kasi yung ako naman ang nagtatanong..

miss ko na ang high school.. Wednesday, March 16, 2005 at 7:08 PM

ang 03.14.05 sa buhay ni monsy..

nakakaasar yung exam sa MATH134.. simply HORRIFYING! really! imagine, you spend the whole night memorizing tons and tons of formulas in differentiation, integration, and techniques in calculus, only to find out that only the simplest concepts will show up in the test..

nataranta pa naman ako.. andami ko tuloy nakalimutan..

and, umiral nanaman ang PISAY complex na nananalatay sa dugo ng bawat estudyanteng dumaan din sa hirap na pinagdaanan ko:

despite the fact that i memorized almost all of the formulas and techniques... although i can proudly say that i can probably solve a complex calculus problem [given that we touched on that topic na]... kahit na i stayed up all night para lang pilit intindihin ang mga minadaling complex topics.. I FAILED TO SOLVE NUMEROUS FAIRLY EASY PROBLEMS..

aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

i hate myself for being like this..

[oist, sa mga inde taga-pisay, inde ako nagmamayabang, ha.. pero, yan talaga ang sakit ng pisay.. may mga alam man na mga complex na concepts, kadalasa'y sumesemplang kami sa mga basic concepts.. promise..]

---

sarap ng tulog ko.. kagigising ko palang, e.. so, magre-review nalang ako sa ENL033 [Technical Writing] at sa SOC013 [General Psychology]..

yes, simpleng english class, pagre-review-han ko pa.. mga ka-dorm ko, nagto-tong-its nalang.. naglalaro, natutulog, pa-relax-relax na lang.. buti pa sila..

haaaay.. kung nai-tackle lang talaga namin ang mga kailangan namin i-tackle, psycho nalang sana ang re-review-hin ko..

---

the other day, napadpad nalang ulit ako sa BEERKADA.. naknampucha!

lo and behold, the COVER of the next installment in the beerkada series.. ansaya! heto pala ang BACK COVER.. astigin din..

diba? ang galing talaga ni URUKIEL.. astigin..

watch out for Go-Beerkada on April 2005!

[mr L., dapat libre na akong shirt dahil sa paga-advertise ko.. ehehe..]

---

nakakaasar pala..

kahapon lang ako napadpad dun sa site kung saan pwedeng mag-order ng Anti-Malayan na mga shirts and pins.. aba.. oorder na sana ako, taos bigla ko nalang napansin ang kagimbal-gimbal na announcement nito..

on hiatus daw sila..

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

kung kailan pa ako nagbalak umorder.. kaasar talaga..

anyways, anyone here who knows what the other websites are? kasi ang gusto ko talagang order-in na shirt e yung may quote from Don Tomas sa likod.. yun ang astigin..

---

sige na.. alis na ako.. magre-review pa ako..

[i hear my previous schoolmates go ballistic.. nagtataka.. confused na confused.. amazed na amazed.. si monarch? mag-aaral? i now that they can now die happily..] Tuesday, March 15, 2005 at 12:12 AM

identity crisis? i think not..

matagal ko nang pinatunayan sa sarili ko na hindi pwede ang ganito.. matagal na itong nawala.. matagal na panahon na iyon.. matagal na panahon na simula noong huli kong naramdaman ito.. matagal ko nang inalis ito sa aking pagkatao.. matagal na panahon na iyon.. matagal na..

pero bakit unti-unti itong bumabalik? hindi ko man lang namamalayan..

bigla akong mapapadpad sa mga pinag-tatambayan mo.. unconsciously ay hinahanap-hanap ko ang company mo.. minsa'y napansin ko nalang na nag-i-internet ako para lang makita ka.. minsan nga'y muntik na akong mahuli ng isa kong kakilala habang pinagmamasdan ka..

hindi talaga pwede ang ganito.. bawal.. nandito ako sa maynila upang mag-aral at makakuha ng matataas na grado, hindi para gawin ang gusto mo.. aba! sayang ang binabayad ng mga magulang ko sa mapúa. mahal pa naman ang tuition fees dito..

hindi ko pa rin pala kilala ang sarili ko.. hindi ko alam kung ano ang aking susundin: ang tama o ang uhaw.. kahit gusto ko, may 'certain something' sa akin na nasasabing 'hindi ko pwedeng gawin ito.. masyadong maraming tao ang umaasa sa iyo'.. pero meron din akong naririnig na nagsasabing 'sige na.. wala naman sila, e.. hayaan mo na.. buhay mo yan, hindi sa kanila.. gawin mo lang ang gusto mong gawin'..

masisiraan na ako ng bait sa sitwasyon kong ito..

i need a companion.. badly..

pero i'm not desperate, no.. i will take my time.. i'll not search for it.. i'll wait for it.. hindi naman maganda kung isasakripisyo ko ang aking pag-aaral for the sake of companionship.. pero, kahit minsan lang.. gusto kong maramdaman ang matinding pagmamalasakit ng isang taong napakalapit sa puso mo..

again, this is not a cry of desperation.. gusto ko lang maramdaman ang nararamdaman ko sa tuwing naririnig ko ang kantang YOU'LL BE SAFE HERE ng RIVERMAYA.. iba kasi ang pakiramdam.. warm and fuzzy, ba..

i'll let destiny and serendipity take its toll on me.. Sunday, March 13, 2005 at 11:46 PM

quickie..

gotta review kasi finals na po namin bukas sa math, e di ba kailangan kong makakuha ng napakataas na score para ma-attain ko ang 2.00? so, quick update lang ngayon..

quick update? wag nalang pala.. post nalang ako ng pics!

yan nalang.. di ko feel yung iba e.. in fact, di ko nga rin feel yung mga nasa taas na pics.. sa susunod nalang.. mas feel ko yung nasa phone ng roommate ko.. baka bukas..

sige, 'til here nalang.. kelangan nang mag-review, e..Ü at 2:43 PM

fuckin' day..

naknampuchang GONZALES yan! [grrr.. i was supposed to link his surname to his faculty profile from the site of the MIT School of IT, kaso nga lang it's either nakalimutan nilang gawan ng page si gonzales, si gonzales ang nagsu-supervise sa development ng site at ayaw niyang may profile siya dun, o bago lang siya at di pa siya nagagawan..]

imagine this..

i left for school already 20 minutes late.. tapos, manggagaling ka sa dorm mo.. walking distance lang ang school, so you have no choice but to walk [not to mention the stifling heat.. reality check: it's nearing summer na].. i endured that seemingly endless walk until i reached the north bridge.. at long last, may shade na.. tapos i had to climb the stairs up to the third floor, enter our unairconditioned room, then sit there for fifteen minutes, hoping that our dear prof arrive to at least collect the grading sheets, which, by the way, he had us print instead of photocopying his..

after getting restless of waiting for our nonexistent egghead, some of my very considerate classmates decided that waiting for quarter of an hour is too much already.. so they decided to approach anyone inside the office of the School of IT, which was coincidentally right in front of our classroom [talk about being farfetched]..

pagkalabas ng aming classmate, we asked him about our quack's whereabouts.. we were perplexed to find out that the quack was in the math department.. naisip ko, kaya naman pala, e.. may inaaayos naman pala dun..

wish ko lang!

so, from our classroom, we headed for the admin building, and up the stairs until we reached the third floor.. woah.. anhaba ng pila sa labas ng math faculty room.. what's up? as i was just about to enter the room, biglang may kumalabit sakin.. uy, si KIRK.. biglang may tinanong sakin.. i said "wuh?" yun pala, e.. maling tanong sa prof.. kala niya sa math ko siya classmate.. sa english pala.. anyway, nakita ko si GONZALES, nakaupo sa harap ng computer, surrounded by professors.. i thought "woah, may ginagawa pala talaga.."

wish ko lang [ulet]!

imagine, the only reason he did not show up at our class was because he was busy playing TEXT TWIST! watdapakshet! he deliberately missed our class just to play TT with his fellow quacks! dito ba napupunta ang pera namin? sa isang napakawalang kwentang nilalang?

i'll rant about him later.. yep, there's more..

---

fuckin' MATH134.. asar, kasi when we computed for our final grade, turns out i only got 633 points, or 63.3% sa raw score.. so, the highest grade i'll get is a measly 2.00.. yep, you read that right.. MEASLEY! i mean, compare it to my grade in MATH124 and you'll see what i mean.. my god! 0.50 ang ibinaba! waaaaaaa..

nga pala, why 2.00 ang pinakamataas na possible grade na makukuha ko? kasi, kung mape-perfect ko ang aming finals, that puts me up to 833 points, equivalent to 2.00.. that is, IF i get a perfect score.. e pano kung inde? waaaaaaa...

goodbye, scholarship! [ehehe.. aspiring lang naman po.. as if nakakuha naman na ako.. hey, exclude yung nakuha ko nung first term.. puhleeze.. chamba lang po talaga yun..]

---

i made the right choice kanina.. as i was preparing for school, i suddenly realized na tapos na kaka-check lang namin grades namin yesterday, at maaga kaming idinismiss.. so bigla akong napa-isip.. may klase pa kaya kami?

i decided not to.. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how i got to update my blog kaninang tanghali..

good choice, by the way, kasi when TinTin im-ed me kanina, i asked her kung may pasok nga kanina.. sabi niya, oo, may plus 20 pa nga daw, e..

noOoOoOoOoOo!

turns out, nanloloko lang pala siya.. buti nalang.. muntik na akong atakehin sa puso sa sinabi niya.. i really REALLY need those plus points! i'd do ANYTHING to get those plus points..


---

sana di nalang ako pumasok sa school kanina.. la naman kaming math, tapos na-bwisit pa ako sa katamaran at katangahan ni GONZALES.. nasayang pa yung oras ko.. not to mention that stifling heat.. .

tsk tsk tsk.. at 12:03 AM

lotsa things..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MALCOLM! bro ko yan.. studying very hard sa MPPA! haberdey ulet!

---

grrr.. nakakainis kahapon..

after our MATH134 class, niyaya ko mga kabarkada ko sa canteen.. dala dala ko ang reviewer ko sa SOC013.. may long test kasi kami dun.. pagdating namin sa canteen, kumuha na kami ng table, iniwan ko na sa seat yung gamit ko, at bumili na ng food..

pagbalik ko, NAWALA NA ANG AKING REVIEWER! akala ko linoloko lang nila ako.. antagal ko silang kinulit.. la talaga..

so, what am i to do? yoko namang pumasok sa SOC013 at magtest ng walang alam.. kaya, hayun.. di ako pumasok..

ang nakaka-asar pa dun, nung huli ko nalang nalaman na may project pa pala kami sa psycho, at pupuntahan namin yung excon-something-guy AFTER THE CLASS..

waaaaa..

todo baba na 'to ng grade...

---

kahapon, in our ENL033 class, our prof asked us to evaluate her.. yessss.. finally.. masasabi ko na rin ang gusto kong sabihin sa kanya for a long. LONG time na..

1. she maintains the borderline between a professor and a student, but some students cross the line.

2. she tries to deviate from the conventional form of teaching (spoonfeeding) [i know she has good intentions and all], but letting the student report the subject matter is very, VERY ineffective, because of the following reasons:

- reports/lessons are presented using OHPs and acetates.. first of all, not all students have a good eyesight.. acetates don't help..

- let's face it.. student reports are just too damn boring.. not unless the reporter makes the report itself interesting..

- although you show respect to your students, many do not reciprocate..

- there may have been concepts that were left out of the report.. okay pa sana if she screened the report first, add the missing details, then returned the report..

- the one-meeting, one-report thing does not give time for written tasks.. sa written tasks ka na nga lang babawi, yun pa ang mawawala..

CONCLUSION: You are a very effective teacher, but you just don't deserve most of your students.. Saturday, March 12, 2005 at 1:33 PM

may half-blood prince covers na!..

malapit nang i-release ang half-blood prince! malapit na talaga, kasi, imagine, may covers na! take a peek here..

and, to start off the potterphilia, i've added a countdown sa baba.. lapit na, no?

comments ko lang pala dun sa covers:

US COVER: too bland.. promise.. i'me dissapointed.. bakit sila lang? wala na ba tayong ibang pwedeng makita? doesn't reveal anything about HBP, kaya nakakainis..

UK CHILDREN'S ED. COVER: again, we cannot deduce anything new from this cover.. lame pa nga, e.. without knowing that this is the cover of HBP, i will actually think na this is a fanart.. tapos the 'event' in the cover can actually be mistaken as a scene from the previous books..

UK ADULT ED. COVER: the coolest of the bunch.. asteeg tignan.. pero nga lang, unlike the previous covers, dissapointing siya kasi, normally, the cover shows the title itself [i.e. phoenix sa OotP].. ngayon, it just shows a book.. it may be significant, pero we cannot deduce a lot from it.. pero okay na rin, kasi it revealed a new 'spell'..

excited na ako! Thursday, March 10, 2005 at 4:02 PM

damnation..

What is it with that fucked-up cross dresser? Why does that big-balled homo treat adequately-adiposed me like a leper?

MISTER goody-tooshoos treats me like he's the most supreme being in the whole wide world and i, his footrest..

just because i don't fulfill HIS every fantasy, just because i don't physically fight HIM back, and just because i don't give HIM that mean, discerning look doesn't give HIM the right to treat me like a throwrag..

magpasalamat siya at mapagpasensiya ako...

woe is me.. woe is me.. Tuesday, March 08, 2005 at 1:05 PM

the reason why i will be busy...

the reason why i have been busy this weekend, and will be probably for the rest of the week, is because we have lots and LOTS of projects [not to mention stupid portfolios], plus it's our finals week next week.. gotta keep on studyin' if i want to get that scholarship!

decci, i'm really, really sorry about what happened today.. if only my phone wasn't stolen by *bleep*, i could've texted you, then communicating wouldn't be such a burden..

oh, i almost forgot.. i changed my blog's layout from a Hell-ish style to a more 'Yahoo'-esque template.. like it? hell yeah! yahoo's searching prowess in Monarch's blog! [cue: *sinister laugh*]

by the way, can anyone here suggest a free, decent tag-board for my blog? kasi feel ko there's a lack of interaction among my fans, e.. [eyng?]

check out my new links in the right.. 'stig lahat yan..

sige, 'til next time nalang, mga dudes.. got lotsuf studyin' to do! at 6:56 PM

yet another blog...Ü

welcome to my third blog.. well, at least i think it is.. teka, third ba o fourth? ehe.. kahit ano.. basta.. para walang gulo, heto nalang:

welcome to my nth blog!

my past two blogs were complete failures for me, kasi Bravejournal and Blog-City didn't have flexibility i wanted, kaya nakakatamad mag-post.. tapos i created a G-Blog account kasi the offers were very enticing [free text credits and all..], pero i realized later na it's not worth it din pala..

i promise, i'll keep this one as updated as possible.. kasi this time malapit na mag-vacation, e may internet sa bahay, plus i'll have all the time that i want, kaya most probably palaging updated na ito..

so.. heto na! Thursday, March 03, 2005 at 5:36 PM
