piracy is sublime

sometimes i say no to piracy but more often than not i support it. just in music though, not in movies. i just burned my own Amelie soundtrack and it took me 9 hours of internet time to complete it. not to mention, i made a mistake by downloading and compiling the same track twice. but whatever, i'm so glad right now. the music is good! lots of accordion medleys. eheheheheeee...

oh well, again and again... i did the laundry and woot! i had to clean my bedsheet too because i woke up with a line of ants beside me. terrible. my bad, it must've been the chocnut crumbs. grrr...

wtocher! michi shared this link to me through y!m: http://red-rahl.livejournal.com/
yeah, a must-see artist indeed. winks.

okaaaay, on to one of my favorite shows: extreme makeover home edition!

good night folks.

amelie of montamarte

a very nice french art film. audrey tautou (amelie) fits the role just fine... an unpredictable introvert whose revenges are hillariously effective.

i got my Troy vcd back! yehey! gotta watch it again later. i just feel like i'm missing a lot of brad pitt lately. oh well, nothing much happened for this day, except that i was screaming for joy over another million peso winner in game knb?! the category: international wristwatch brands. pretty easy, for me, since almost every line of expensive clothing (like prada, gucci, chanel, ck..) has launched their watches too and you just have to name them. too bad the spectacled microbiologist didn't win. i like him. and ho! kris aquino makes a good matchmaker, except that she doesn't consider if the pair looks good together. haha.

weeeeeee, it's excercise time again!

different time now:

golly, i'm so insufferable. i mispelled brad pitt as bratt pit. i miscalled maristel for macrise when i saw her in the grocery. and i now i'm searching the dictionary for the meaning of insufferable: an intolerable airhead whose life is a big douchebag. and what does douchebag mean anyway? a shitbag i suppose.

draco has always been the big insufferable git [1] to most writers, but i'm not most writers. [1] - is so oooovvverlyyy ussseeedd. gasgas na kung baga. i hate it.
i may be insufferable but i'm not a git... yet.

i just watched troy. i cried during the part where achilles sprained his ankle and died. i also cried when hector got a heart attack and died as well. his father, priam, got killed by backstabbing. and... patrocolus died of sore throat.

makati escapade

as planned, we accompanied ate ethel in her insurance comission test. we arrived at 730am, the test started by 930 and ate ethel came out at 1145 with the result =(. so in short, ate theresa and i waited for 4 hours and 15 minutes in front of the mirrored elevator in the 26th floor. good thing we have planned 'the outrageously diverting time wasters' which insludes playing jack en poy con sampalan, the thumb game, the first-guy-in-blue-who-steps-out-of-the-elevator-is-your-soulmate sign watching, and of course talking and eavesdropping on other people who's also waiting.

the test was nearly done when a woman arrived at the floor, complaining and complaining to her mother, that she gave the wrong direction to the building blah blah blah... it looks like she took the WRONG test and luckily, funny rather, she passed the WRONG test and got hired at the WRONG job. she accidentally took a job admission test in Coco life when she should be taking the insurance comission test for Grepa life. meehn.

ate ethel went home alone and ate theresa and i went to our 'business'.

we went to glorietta and window shopped. we have no intention of buying anything since we don't have the bucks. i fancy ths store - 'kahon' because of it's unique architecture... majorly it's just the entrance i fancy. it's slanted. then we ate in kfc.
we crossed to landmark and crossed again to greenbelt. we did nothing much but look around and check the cr's -- the only place we utilized the most because it's clean and free and modern. then we went back to glorietta to check out ASIMO!

Asimo is a robot made by Honda and the host boastfully says he can do almost anything. i'm impressed, it reacts to sounds, gestures and space... can walk forward or backward, walk up the stairs... blahblah. and he's six years old. cute, but i wouldn't rejoice over the idea of 'world robot domination'.

didn't i say it would be geeks who will dominate the world one day??? meeehn.

and oh, i saw an american boy wearing spectacles who gave me the impression of 'Harry Potter'. i wanna see him again urrggghh, only... he's blue-eyed. just perfect.

it's a game of give and take and give and take and give and give and give and lose

poker got me hooked. i never knew poker could be so much fun! now i know why gamblers bother to put their whole fortune at stake.
play flash poker here!... you could play it as long as you have enough moolas to bet so i suggest you disconnect your internet while playing. flash can be played offline, anyway.

today is not quite a daaaaaaaayyyyy. i did the laundry as usual, watched game knb?, then eat bulaga, then i exercised, and then i watched daisy siete season 12 - landas (i used to hate the sexbombers before but their show is a pretty good pastime), after that i watched the naruto marathon in studio 23, then i took a bath, then i watched dragon ball z (yeah, my all time favorite action anime!), and then i ate dinner, then i washed the dishes...

later on i will watch bituing walang ningning, followed by sa piling mo with a couple of sneaks from i luv new york, then... oh yeah, no My Girl today... ok so i'll just watch piolo pascual go bonkers in MMK.

i guess tomorrow will be quite a tomoroooooowwww. we'll leave early at 6 to accompany ate ethel to the insurance comission test in makati. then, we'll go to glorietta. wooooot.

have a nice day to me.

i just came back from my interview in uplb with my parents. whew, so tiring... but what's that compared to the promising future i envision myself in? hehe, the dean asked me pretty much the same stuff as before but i made sure that this time i'll show him how determined i am. i'm desperate for the course. but hell, i was stuttering when he asked me to answer a certain question in english. nosebleeeeed. and you know what, i was half nervous with writing the essay because he seems to expect me to be good in writing because i chose journalism in the other campus. what more is that i got a disappointing 48% with my reading comprehension, and he knows that. e kumusta naman yun? but on the other hand, he said i topped the math and science category among the other interviewees. what a relief.... i'm shocked at myself. that's so not me, before the upcat results arrived i was expecting a pretty decent score with my english but noooo, the table was turned. and as a result i could only choose courses under engineering, which was so rewarding seeing that that is uplb's forte. and being its forte, they really get meticuluous with their students, and that's the tough part.

God bless to meeeee!!!
i'm so full of optimism after the interview we even bought fresh cow milk in the animal husbandry! yeah yeah, how does that link?

please check my new fic - For Always (you hpdm shippers!), you know i'm not good in narratives but your criticisms will help!
check it here!!

let the geek in the pink take a stab at it

this is a long post.

hello blog. you see, i don't see the point why i went on blog leave. it's silly you know, i've been keeping another journal, a password protected microsoft word document with a filename: atomic research logs, and i've been putting all the crap in my life there, at least for the past 2 months.

nothing extraordinary happened today, i'm just eating my favorite salted greasy peanuts from FCM which costs 10 per 35 grams. i wouldn't be surprised if my jaw hurts again tomorrow. i'm munching them like hell.

kumusta na nga ba ako?
still the same, i don't have an official alma matter yet and i'm struggling between being a chemical engineer or a business mgt. major. what the hell am i supposed to take? my golly, i've explained this depressing struggle a lot of times already and still no answer.

anyhow, i have a lot of tricks in my sleeve, i just don't know how to pull them off. this thursday i'll be going to UPLB for another interview. i've written down every possible question the dean will ask and i have made my own research about chemical engineering as well. i just have to impress him... i have a ranking to retain, i'm desperate for school.

hay dyusko.
just so you know, i missed watching My Girl today because i'm typing this ****.

my fallback is still the same though, FEU. si Henry Sy na lang tutularan ko.
oooh, speaking of Henry Sy... ate theresa got a free complimentary cinema ticket from one of my mom's clients in SM mall of asia. admit two, any sm cinema, any movie, premiere, IMAX! yahoooooo! can't wait.

love this song: a place in time - amanda abizaid. theme song of the 4400 (scifi series. thurs.7pm rpn prime shift)

'amelie' will be showing on aug.7 -730pm-rpn prime shift.

tsk. namememorize ko na ung mga commercial sa tv. grabe, wake up song ko... "good morning, good morning, dahil sa pampers, ang sleep mo ang sleep mo, mahimbing! iwas leaks iwas leaks up to 10 hours! masarap, masarap ang gising! ganadong ganado na matulog, bulaga! flying kiss! yeeeeeyyy!..."

weirdo.

i've realized, maybe i like harry potter more than draco malfoy. and i think i have to get over my obsession with ryan philippe and accept that he's having two kids soon. plus, i have to let go of another ryan too, he's getting married to judy ann santos. =(

everytime i read my batchmates blogs and seee their updates in multiply, i get jealous. jealous that they're having a good time in college and i don't. that i'm stuck with our stinky laundry and empty refrigerator. but then everything has a good side, i'm getting paid for doing the laundry, i'm getting thinner with bellydancing, and (seriously) i've been spending a day's time with God. somehow, even though i don't learn academically, i learn spiritually and that what i missed most when i was studying.

i read this story in 'what matters most - francis j. kong' -- a business self-help book.

-back in time (forgot the date) brothers adi and rudolph dassler created the very successful sportsgear we highly patronize today: Adidas. but there came a time when the two fought over something that caused them to go on separate ways. adi was left alone with adidas and his brother decided to venture into a new business. this led rudolph to create an equally competitive brand that aims to overtake his brother's, and it was called Puma!

-nike, on the other hand, was established in japan by an american track and field coach, bill bowerman. he developed a new set of rubbershoes which were meant for running because he noticed most of his team members get injured a lot with their shoes. phil knight, one of his students highly supported his coach's idea and even helped him market his propsal. during that time, running shoes were scarcely in demand and it wasn't until their world tour in japan that they were able to meet a shoe manufacturing company that invested in their creation. thus began the world-famous nike swoosh.

'what matters most- francis j. kong' is a good read, mainly because it contains a lot of success stories from businessmen which emerged from rags to riches. other stories include ray kroc's mc donald's, quaker's oats and the cornelius vanderbilt fortune. :D

sige, goooooooooooooood night.

who moved my cheese?

it's a book by.. i forgot. i just read it last night and it was super nice. you'll learn a lot of things about change. yeah... it says there that you refer to "cheese" as your goal. sometimes when we've reached our goals we set out a wall around it and build our own comfort zones. just like having a new job. you love your job and you're doing well but your manager decided to put you in a different department, something you know is less demanding than your previous work. you get insulted. you know to yourself that you have more to show and it's not in that field. however, you do not realize that your manager just ' moved your cheese', he knows you'll do good in both fields so why bother seeing you doing the same job. he's just opening another door for you.

but then, we'll never know who really 'moves our cheese' it could be our parents, our friends, our seniors, even our enemies but ultimately it's still God.

he loves moving our cheese and watching us sniff and scurry throughout the labyrinth of life to find it. :D

yeah , i got a pretty good hang from that book. it made me think a lot. initialy i've set my 'cheese' in the college of business. but right now i don't know if it's still there or if someone moved it to another college. meeeehhnn.
