i'm still alive. if anyone cares.

oh hey. look who's back.

school has been really busy and i don't think i'll be able to breathe until next week, right after the math exam.

first things first. things have been crazy inside this head of mine. too many things to do in so little time. i'm glad my friends and i decided to cut our geology class since we're only going to discuss about the past exam anyhow. we didn't want to learn about our mistakes in the exam so we decided to go home instead. besides, i really need to rest. i have a batch consolidation for the school paper tomorrow. it's an overnight thing and it's going to be exhausting. lots of physical activities like games and all.

i think i'm going to nap now then study for math tonight so bye!

"For the Love of the Game"

i love this movie. i've watched this more than once and i still love it. i'm watching it now but i don't know if i'd finish it because i have to be in school before 7 AM tomorrow.

this is definitely a favorite.

i like Kevin Costner. he's a natural actor.

gail reporting live from IMS lab at school

i'm at the IMS (Information Management System) lab at school. we had our geography class here and our professor let us stay for a while because we don't have class after his. i like it here. it's cold. better than our previous classroom at the CAS (College of Arts and Sciences). we're going to have our GEOG131 here starting today. this lab is at PGH (Philippine General Hospital), by the way. it's a short walk from Padre Faura.

hrmm. at the other window i'm doing my NATSCI4 homework, at least my share of it. apple is at the other computer doing her share, as well as mitchie. joseph is reasearching too. we're busy and we're surfing at the same time. we are such model students *sarcastic*. at least we do get work done! haha!

adjusted biological clock

my biological clock adjusted to the 4 AM waking up time i should follow for the rest of the first semester of junior year. finally! when school started i had a hard time adjusting. i slept at 3 AM and ended up not attending my 7 AM class because i couldn't wake up at dawn. this morning, however, i woke up at 3 AM and then slept. when i awoke again it was 4 AM, just in time for me to get to school early. yehey! i wasn't late. for one week i kept going to school 30 minutes before class which is 6:30 AM.

i have to go now :) i'm almost done. baboo!

ironically enjoying being busy

i just got home less than an hour ago and i'm so tired.

i got to see Mean Girls today and i liked it :) Lindsay Lohan is so pretty!

Gen meeting today for the school paper. it was so tiring to be there although we just brainstormed about the upcoming article and the editorial issues that we'll be publishing. i have to watch more news, news, and news. local ones, that is. we always have educational discussions and i hate to be left hanging, asking "What the hell is that all about?" when i hear pieces of current events that i've never heard about. thank God, it hasn't happened yet and i don't intend to ask that question because so far, i am still in touch with the news regarding local and international (thank you, Time magazine!) events.

my article is still on hold. i forgot to text my editor that i emailed the edited version last night. i hope it goes for lay-out already because i hate to revise it again because i have so much things to do regarding school work.

i have a long exam next week, an article (another one) to pass tomorrow morning, and a group assignment to cram tomorow during out break before our geology class. oh my! i hope we'll able to pull this off. then again, this isn't the first time that we'd cram an assignment for geology! the school paper people also included me among the 3 webmasters to design the Manila Collegian's official website. whopdeedoo. i need more, though.

this semester is so busy and jam packed but i can't believe that i am actually liking the state of being busy. i don't know. maybe i've slacked off (extracurricularwise) long enough during my freshman and sophomore year. it's time to kick some arses and show them what i've got ;)

okay bye, world. i need to catch some Zzzzs before i wake up at 4 AM in the morning.

chick film worth watching

i got to watch The Prince and Me today. i waited for the film to show since i saw the trailer a couple of months ago. i loved the movie! i wasn't disappointed. i let down my strong "i'm-not-too-girly" facade. i melted during the "kilig" parts. i love the movie. it can really bring out the girly girls in girls.

i didn't make that much sense, did i?

article editing tonight

i have an article to edit tonight. i dropped by the paper's office after the movie. thank goodness the managing editor was there. i was able to submit my article and he edited it as i waited.

he said i should email it tonight. i hope i can stay awake longer than i usually do in time to email the article to him.

on the sad news, i have a long exam next friday. pfft. tinatamad pa ko. i don't feel like studying but yes, studying is much needed for this subject so i might as well dive into the books.

i'm tired. i'll go edit the article now so i can hop into bed.

on eating healthy

i'm having yogurt and a banana for dinner. i decided to follow my plan to "eat healthy" (diet, in other words). i have to lose weight. i want to be as skinny as i was in high school. hay. people said they like the way i gained weight because i gained curves too but i think it's easier to wear what you want without being self-conscious about your body.

maybe it's just me. maybe it's the media influencing me to think that i'm fat but really, it's not just the dieting. i want to eat healthy.

i wonder how long i can put this up. tsk tsk.

you can never be too happy in this life

i'm sleepy but i can't sleep so i'm online instead. i don't even know if anyone reads this. should i keep my xanga or this blogspot? oh well.

lets see... i've been sad these past few days. i don't know. am i PMSing? i've been grumpy lately when i'm alone. i start missing people. i start wishing that i was on vacation because school is really sucking the life out of me. it's like a "dementor" (from Harry Potter). i can't wait for the weekend but i only have sunday as rest so there's no such luck to rest on weekends. next semester i can't believe it'll be worse because i'm going for 21 units.

oh well. this is life, i guess.

of phony bastards

you know Holden was right when he talked about phony bastards. people can put on a strong facade of sincerity and fool people into believing that they're something else, that they're truely genuine people when they aren't exactly what they perceive to be.

i'm not in a fit of angst right now. i was just thinking about it. i think everyone has a phony bastard inside of them. don't you ever find yourself smiling or being nice to a person whom you despise? i have. it's not because i'm plastic. i'm just too chicken to show how pissed off i am. that's the phony bastard in me. i know i should show the person what i really feel about him/her but that's just me. i'd rather be nice than have that person as an enemy. i am a people-person and people-people don't make enemies.

on the lighter note, a load was lifted off my shoulder. my best friend was a bit off since last week. she was kind of avoiding me and Jilian. it was weird but we dared not ask her what was wrong because she seemed to be so out of the mood. a lot of thoughts ran through my mind. at one point i got a little pissed off because i'd rather have a person say what's really happening than treating me like i don't exist. at all.

then today i went to her journal and she posted what was going on there. turned out that she has this big problem that she's not ready to share with us, her best friends, yet. she needs time to straighten things out alone so yes, i felt guilty after reading that because i sort of judged her when she was off.

i hope everything goes well for her.

i'm glad it wasn't what i thought because i thought she was drifting away and a lot of presumptions ran through my mind.

she's not a pseudo friend and a phony bastard, afterall.

i love sundays

oh my! shopping was so much fun today :) i got three tops, 3 scrunchies, and pairs of earrings. there was a pair of white flip flops that i absolutely wanted to get but they didn't have my size (i'm a 6) and it's sad :,( sayang. after Greenhills we went to the Galleria because my sister wanted to look around. we had dinner there too. i had a wrap from Planet Pita. i love that place! steak sensation, yum! i had to eat it at Tortilla Fusion, though. my sister wanted to have soft tacos for dinner.

then i saw that girl who was in love with my ex while we were together. she was glancing my way and my sister's all the time. she didn't even smile or said hi. i would've said hi to her but she didn't. i remember meeting her a couple of months ago and she showed how bad trip she was when she found out that i came with my ex. hello? he was my boyfriend then. what did she expect? so anyway, we're not together now so she can go chase after him.

then i heard Boyz II Men's "I Miss You" on the way to Shopwise. it totally made my day :) i love that song although it's really sad because while i was at the car looking out the window, i started to get all senti remembering my lost friend J. i miss him, you know. we had something more than friendship but it all ended just as fast as we started our friendship.

org meeting tomorrow. i also have to talk to my editor for the paper if i could switch to another topic because i am so scared of getting my head chopped off because of pieces of juicy news regarding the article i'm assigned to write. argh.

okay good night everyone. i hope God will forgive me for not hearing mass today :( i still feel guilty.

thank God it's saturday

is it really saturday? i can't feel it's saturday because i have NSTP classes which makes me have classes 6 days a week. bummer. in freshman year i only had classes 4 times a week, wednesday being a break. isn't that awesome? but yeah as my year in college goes higher, same thing for my number of units. oh well.

my sister wants to go out tonight. maybe i will go because it's saturday and i think i deserve to go out other than my usual school-house routine.

this afternoon while i was sound asleep, i woke up to someone banging on the door of my room yelling "GAILLLLLL!!!!!" and i got pretty surprised by the banging and yelling. turned out it was my tita and she was waking me up from the outside. she did wake me up, alright.

after school i dropped by Wendy's for lunch. would you believe me if i told you right now that it has been months since i last ate french fries? i know! i just realized it this afternoon while i was in line at Wendy's. so, you probably know the reason behind me eating the fries like a hungry little kid. that stuff is uber greasey and they say it's bad for your health but how can something that good be so bad at the same time?

piktyur! piktyur!

long overdue photos of last weekend during a basketball game my sister (her boyfriend was playing) and i went to watch.

you know my sister spoils me rotten and i don't think she even notices it. tonight she bought me home 16 pieces of california maki :) yum!

Spiderman 2 + wearing my glasses= one great movie!

i have no more urge to write something on my LJ. i planned on deleting it because most of my friends in the real world know the URL but then i thought about how it has been on cyberpace for more than a year now. i dare not delete those old entries because they bring back so much memories. for now, hello blogspot.

anyway, the creepiest thing happened to me yesterday night. my Manila Collegian (official school paper) meeting ended at 8pm and my sister texted me to wait for her at Robinson's Place. she was going to pick me up there so i waited for her in front of Starbucks at the Pedro Gil wing. i decided to wait outside so i'll be able to spot kuya John's car right away. i stood behind the steel railing and this creepy old foreigner approached me and started to mumble things to me. he tried to pick me up! what a pervert! so what i did was i walked back to the mall and decided to seek refuge from the shelves of the National Bookstore. it was creepy, i tell you. that mall at night is like the hot spot of all foreigners who want to pick up girls/gay or whatever they're into.

so i got to watch Spiderman 2 last night! my sister, her boyfriend, and i headed off to Eastwood after they picked me up. we ate first and Jinx, Dennis, Pat, and Excel were there too. so anyway, i had to keep myself awake during the movie. don't get me wrong. the movie was awesome! it kicked ass and i love Spiderman. it's just that i had only 3 hours of sleep the night before which is why i my eyes were practically half-closed during the middle part of the movie. but i liked it, nevertheless. i just wanted to kick myself because hello! it was Spiderman 2! the movie which i waited so long to be shown and there i was practically falling asleep!

i saw Robby from the Akafellas. he also happens to be one of my many crushes. too bad he had a date with him. hrmf. but yeah, he did look at me after the movie at the parking lot. even if it was for just a second or so, he still looked at me! okay i'm stupid.

so last night i only had 2 hours of sleep. i had to wake up at 4 AM for my 7 AM class. i'm quite proud of myself because i made it through the day and i wasn't late for my GEOG131 class.

i have a news article to write for the Manila Collegian which is due for editing on wednesday and the people i want to interview for my article won't even talk. that sucks. articles on fraternities isn't my kind of thing because they won't TALK. hay.

okay bye. i've ranted long enough.
