vash stampede

it's a sunday, hooray! it's our church's 18th anniversary and all of us is celebrating. i presume we came in earlier than usual but we still ran out of chairs. it's ok though, we didn't end up standing anyway. we had a guest speaker today and i like him. he's a former cheif of police and bounty hunter (yeah!) in california. his voice was a little rash and he sounds like he has asthma, always running out of breath. but i understand, it's hard chasing after fugitives but at the same time it's cool to be a bounty hunter (yeah!). I remember trigun, my favorite police related anime because of the action, the character design and the alias - Vash Stampede.

then we went to ever to buy some grocery stuff. i love nachos with salsa. if i only know where to buy cilantro leaves then i would probably be doing a homemade one. but nooooo, have to stick with commercialized products.

weeeee, got my registration form already. classes starts at novemer 13! ira's birthday (i guess hehe)! that's 3 days before my birthday too! sadly, i don't think i'm going to enjoy my PE with a permanently injured leg. it doesn't hurt but the friggin meniscal tear is still there and it won't go away so i have to take cautious measures for a lifetime. how unfortunate, i would love to play tennis or softball, karate or arnis... but i have to stick with walking for fitness, hula/tahitian (cool!), table tennis (err?) and probably CHESS. basta no legs required. my goodness, i don't want to be seen walkin around the campus with a chess board. it's too dorky. but i'm really a dork remember? and i won a medal in chess. it doesn't hurt to play it again. besides, it's a strategic game. wahehehehee...

checking up on reviews

i'm currently reading user reviews of creative muvo txfm (256 mb) mp3 player. i was thinking of buying it since it's compact and handy. but mehn, i'm too confused. some reviewers say it easily dysfunctions after 4 months. some also say that it's better than the ipod in terms of sound quality.

ok, now what? most of its pros goes to its being gym handy since it's really small and the package includes an armband. on the other hand, most of its cons goes to short term functionality. so generally, it's not the best for me since i'm not a gym buff and i like my player to work for a long time. but then, i'm keying for the recorder. i want to have a recorder. but not a separate one.

in the end i still think i'm going to buy this. but not anytime soon since i'm still saving for a canon powershot. =)

had the Bible of my dreams at last. it's actually an old NIV one that we got refurbished so now it looks better. daddy gave it to me and he also included a dedication (after a lot of demands). i'm excited to use it! hihi, and i also provided a notebook for it so that i can jot notes and study the Word. yehey.

i consumed 3 cups of mocha ice cream awhile ago and i feel faaaaaatt right now, even after exercising. bad. but i have a better idea, i once wrote here that i dream of having my own franchise of starbucks in the future but it would cost me a biiiigggg fortune that i could never save even if i started now. maybeeee, i'll just get myself a franchise of Ice Cream Corner! it should be cheaper! plus their ice cream is great and affordable, not to mention tastes just like (or even better than) consumer favorites nestle and selecta on a cheaaapper price! i just have to look for the perfect location. yehey for a new goal. hehehe

i have a new favorite radio station! 98.7 DZFE. why? because it plays classical music. before it was 101.9 because of the hits, as all radio stations are, but then i don't like all of the songs so i keep on presetting the tuner. 98.7 is a long time stop i could listen to it for an hour straight and not change the station. yeah, of course you won't agree. most of you don't fancy classical music like i do.

sidebar update!

i just added 'verse of the day' right below my profile. hihi. love it. at least whenever i visit my site i'll have something to ponder. i was actually thinking of just putting a 'word of the day' to enhance my vocabs but i thought i wouldn't be too diligent with remembering it. a bible verse works better, and personally it's easier for me to stick a thought in my mind rather than a word.

everything becomes beautiful when you are doomed

really now? okay, i won't argue with the title because achilles said that. swwwoooooonnnnssss.
i'm hopeless, i don't think i could ever stop myself from biting my nails. apparently they've gone a deal shorter, again, due to my monster habit of biting them. so i'm a monster now, and monsters don't usually explain themselves. so i'll leave it there.

i'm excited to go to school, yeah that's rare. hello? if you were quarantined for five months without anything new to learn aside from the stuff you get in tv, wouldn't you yearn to go to school, learn new and probably confusing things, earn new friends and coleagues, and meet people who are just as confused with the lessons?
i'm being a dork here. ngork ngork.

heyhey. last august 21, i just finished conceptualizing my magazine. oh yeah, it's time to make good use of my time. i've done a couple of articles already and hey, i got my own staff. my own writing team. my own layout artist. and they're all great. wanna know them? no, i won't spill them all. i like the name of my opinions writer, an italian named mr. dano ponioni... that's why i hired him. and they're all gonna work for me without charge. that's sooo kind.
we're kinda rushing it so that we'll set it debut release this september. watch out for Oh! Blimey magazine. =)

yeah yeah, a dork's gotta do what a dork's gotta do.
do you want me to feature anything in particular? we'll get you credited for it. and my feature writer Rese Tufa will take care of the details.

haha. did you actually believe that i'm putting up my own magazine? and with an italian writer?
well, you should. it's a low-budget one so i don't think most of you will see a copy of it anywhere.

jeeez.

what if you had a universal remote... that controlled your universe?

i feel so blessed! i don't know why, it's not often that i feel extra happy during sundays especially when there are piles of stinking dishware to wash and a basketful of stinking laundry to clean. but then, i'm enjoying life. ever since i knew that i'm actually destined to face college life anytime soon. there's nothing incredibly great to look forward to college, especially when you know it's another series of unfortunate events or grades (in my case, maybe yours too) that you have to face for the next miserable four (more or less) years. and mehn, i have to deal with it for five years.

heh. i just killed a mosquito with a super clap.

yeah, so what if i have a universal remote that controlled my universe?

we watched click last night. it was a pretty hasty decision of going to the mall that night but we enjoyed it. at least i did because i chose the movie and i can't afford to miss an adam sandler. golly, mom wouldn't allow me and my sister to go alone so she called ate theresa to be our chaperone. chaperone. chaperone. mehn, we're not kids anymore, maybe my sister is (hehe), but i'm not!! i almost felt guilty for it. ate theresa and i used our free complimentary ticket from last time and my sister used my reward card to get P10 off the ticket price.

they say it's comedy but i think i cried more than i laughed. seriously. hehehe...

i'm inspired to paint on tissue canvass! i guess i'll do it later when i see a scrap illustration board. i watched this documentary, Art From Fallen Leaves from japan video topics in IBC and i was super amazed. you should watch it.

weeee... gotta paint! gotta paint!!!

two negatives equals positive

allow me to hop around, jump around and skip around in joy because this has been one of the happiest days of my life ever since i've been receiving a lot of rejection notices from a lot of universities.

yeeheeeeeeeyyyyy!yiiihhaaaaaaaa!!yaahaaahooooO!bibidibabidibbbboooooooyyaaaaaa!!!wooooooooowwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiieeeeeee!!!yeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrzzzz!!!!yeyeyeyeyeyeayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay!!!!!!buwahahahahahahaahhaahaagagagagahahah!!!!!!!!yippeeeeeeyipeeeee!!!!! haaaaappppyyyyyyhaaappppppyyyjooooooooyyyy!!!!! jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooyyyyy!

whew! that's one way of saying, "SA WAKAS MAY SCHOOL NA KOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
indeed.

i've been waiting for the 16th of august ever since the 3rd. yesterday i checked my blood pressure and it reached 120/90 which means i'm too nervous to even blog. and as a result i cleaned our bathroom. something i don't usually do but because i'm high blooded and i don't want an eight legged freak disturbing my bathroom rituals, i cleaned. seriously, there are giant spiders ocassionaly visiting our bathroom and it's not nice even though they look super exotic with their skinny legs and tiger like complexion. i'm not scaring you, i'm scaring myself.

back to the title. i dreamed last night that i won't pass. when i woke up, ate theresa told be that she had a similar dream. but you see, i passed!!! i passed!!! after a long list of failures a record breaking pass saved my life!!

i'll be in UP los banos and i'll be taking up chemical eng'g. which means i have to lay down for a while my dream of becoming a businesswoman and focus on my new course.
unless i shift.

you see, yesterday i was thinking of college life in FEU. it was super nice. i'm near our neighborhood, i'll drive my own car and i wouldn't be facing too much pressure. i can find a lot of time to sell gano chocolates and avon cosmetics and perhaps i'll sell in sara lee and natasha too. imagine the money. and my goal then would be to create a smashing business proposal and be FEU's delegate to the annual business fair in Harvard. two years ago their delegate won first place, beat that. sounds grrreeeeaaattt! i was too excited to go to FEU and i just realized that yesterday. but now...

i cleaned my nails, which is something that - again - i don't usually do because they're too short and don't deserve a nice little push and polish. but i cleaned them so that seeing them nice and pinkish will stop me from biting them. it's time to get out of my nasty habit.

pranks and you - revenge you can do at home

Homewrecker is a very helful show. particularly the 'pranks and you' segment. i learned a pretty cool revenge using only an electrical tape. actually, i just did it awhile ago and i've had two victims already. my uncle and our MAID. yeah, our maid was my original target because we had a fight awhile ago. by fight i mean i rolled my eyes on her and in return she didn't serve me juice. haha, smaller than petty.

but now we're okay. the sink sprinkler prank was great. i thought i could do a more serious one with the eggs. haha. gotta watch more of homewrecker.

by the way, i finished reading Austere Academy, Ersatz Elevator and Vile Village a couple of days ago. just so you know, they're the 5th, 6th and 7th installment of lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events. it's an awfully amusing series. awful because as the author puts it, nothing good is and will be happening to the Baudelaire orphans and amusing becuase mr. snicket is just one of the greatest writers i've ever known.

anyhow, i don't think i should continue on with this day's dull tale. i'm in the internet cafe and i barely have money to cover the fare back home.
