i have a freakin mouthsore. make that two. no, three. and maybe even four cos i'm starting to feel another one bubbling out. mehn.

i have a new favorite book! no, not something from Meg Cabot... i'm not gonna fave a chic-lit from now on. hehehe...
it's a book by a very influential lay Catholic preacher... Bo Sanchez! it's called HOW TO BE REALLY REALLY REALLY HAPPY.

really, i was blessed after reading it. it's a very short book, a compilation of his best forewords from his magazine or whatever it is that you call the first article on Kerygma. it was all humorous and powerful and sensible and it hits you right on your err.. funny bone? naah. just that. it's a goooood read! it doesn't matter if you're not a Catholic (like me)... i highly recommend this book to all of you out there! Bo Sanchez is a really funny guy! he doesn't preach like the one you see in masses. when he preaches... it will seem like you're attending an inspirational seminar instead of a regular sunday homily. hehehe

okay.

the best thing that i learned from the book is this, God is a simple God! yeah! i wouldn't have realized it myself if he hadn't cited it out. God is simple. he isn't complicated. he can be understood. but we humans are just so fickle-minded that he even had to let down his son to deliver the message we're so dying to comprehend. and yet, we ignored! yeah, we're so stupid. really stupid. sorry Lord.

and you know what. we should always talk to God. yeah, casual talk. like a friend! he likes it a lot when we talk to him like he's our bestfriend... cos in the first place we're already his friend! right before we were conceived. and we only have to realize it.

i'm not cutting on tomatoes anymore. i realized that the roooot of the evilness forming withing my stomach lining can be traced from the way i take care of myself during summer classes. you know, i get dismissed by 1pm... in which nothing edible is being consumed in my stomach. i drink a lot of coffee... well just one cup/night but then during afternoons i drink a beer mug full of Milo. i can finish the whole 400g pack in a week. heh. and i hardly drink tap water, it's always cold cold cold. and well, i always sleep right after eating. >_> hehe i know the fault is all mine. @_@ so... hmmmm.

book of the dumb

currently reading: avalon high - meg cabot

it's been ages since i last read chic-lit. actually i just downloaded it as an ebook and i'm reading it now through ms reader. people say chic-lits, or generally teen novels, make you dumber. i say it improves your writing style but doesn't really enhance your vocabulary. for heavy plotted books, the style of writing is barely acknowledged because it gets burried under the towering highfaluting words and the plot can readily compensate for it. >_> however for chic-lits, given a shallow (and almost ridiculously annoying) plot, there's nothing more to look forward to than the style. and that's where teen novelists strive to excel.

personally, i like reading teen novels. yeah, i don't care how much it would drain me of my IQ... i like reading them because of the romance! yeah, i also don't care how much corny and cheesy the scene is as long as it's written nicely (with wit and sarcasm)... i will definitely like it. :)

i'm a big fan of geeky girls getting a major makeover and totally removing the blond cheerleader off the quarterback's sight. >_> but then it has become a big trend for chic-lits nowadays that i am already disgusted on the way authors play with that cliche. >_> that's why i only pick the authors i like and have tested to be both humorous and romantic. wahehehehe...

i'm getting dumber and dumber by the second...

anyhow. after i read Avalon High, i'll be downloading a couple more books online. i'd like to read something by Niel Gaiman although i'm having a hard time looking for downloads. i also want to reread All-American Girl by Meg Cabot. my favorittteeee teen novel! but apparently, i couldn't find any more of its old-school paperback edition that only costs 300. they've repacked the book! and it's around 400 pesos already. grrr... i hate spending a lot on just 1 thing. unless it's coffee (hey. i'm still grounded). >_>

oh, tomorrow must be great. yeah it should be! :D

even demons disguise themselves as angels

that was my latest doodle work. hehehe.

yesterday?

bwahahahahanyaaahahahahahaaaa...
ka, nez and i watched the movie Whisper, as in 'the devil has found a new playmate'
well, NOT REALLY. >_>
it was supposed to be horror but it didn't really scare me that much. hehehehe and it turned out to be a comedy pa...
maybe it really depends on your company...
because... no matter how scary the movie is, if you're with a crazy group of people you'd be spitting out fits of laughter instead of screaming your head off! nyahahaha...

oha ang saya namin e.

but before that we ate in pizza hut muna where we ordered CHEESYPOPS!! yeah, first time mehn! all hail those pullable pops!! hehehehe...

yikeee nez... ferjunferujunferjunferjun. ehehehehehe pati na rin ung kundoktor ng bus. ehihihihihihihihi

funny pa, kasi before we went out we rang the bell in pizza hut. as in the 'please ring the bell if you had a good time' bell. and the waiter who opened the door for us, named Ferjun (hihihi), CLAPPED! yeah super.. SOP ba yon?

eto pa, wala namang nakasulat na 'please ring the bell if you had a good time'. wala, trip lang. nyahahaha

i got a 2.75 on chem17. i suck.
so what's 2.75? that's around 61%-65%. whattagrade. but at least i passed, and i didn't have anymore of those deadly jitters i felt when i was waiting for my chem16 grade. i sort of got used to it. you know, i have the right to feel slightly unalarmed because it's not my first time anymore. hehehe

anyhow. no laptop for me. FOR NOW. i'm still saving my way through it... i'm 14.2857% done with it. hahaha. maybe next year... yeah.

my parents are going to batangas tomorrow and they're going to drop me at Calamba then i'll head to Los Banos to pack up my things. boring boring boring...

it was just a short dream, he's asking me to LINK HIS BLOG TO MY BLOG and i was like sure sure sure sure sure!!

and that was it. haha

waiting on the world to change

yesterday:

we went to TriNoma, the new mall across SM North Edsa. their level parking was HELL. the beam is too low, the ramp is too high, the lanes are too small (and it's a freakin 2-way) and the way the parking spaces are arranged is really confusing. in short, we didn't get a parking space. so we went out and tried to look for the entrance of their north avenue parking lot but when we got to the junction, we thought it better if we just go back to SM, afterall, we just wanted to look around to see what's up with TriNoma. and so we went back to SM. lol. SM is still the best... at least their parking space is better and we don't have to worry about getting lost. anyhow, i'll get back to TriNoma one day when it's fully functioning already. :)

we parked at the rooftop of SM's level parking for the first time and there we ate dinner. as usual, we bought the infamous picnic basket packed with sawali plates and banana leaves. we have fish, veggies, mangoes, and luncheon meat. lol. what a feast! at least we were able to save 500 worth of dinner in yoshinoya. hehee. after dinner we finally entered the mall and blaaaah...

yada yada yada...

i pity my uncle. he's retiring soon and this son a b*tch chief of legal police wants to chuck him out of PNP. wtf! he's not doing anything wrong! and if my hearing serves me right, this chief was his classmate years ago when he's taking law.

and you know why they want to shoo him out? because when he retires he's going to get all the pension and retirement benefits a high ranked police would get. and the bitch of a chief wants him to compromise and give him a share of his 'future fortune', which is so unfair and downright preposterous. whaaaat? you want his retirement benefits? why don't you retire yourself!!! after all you're the 'chief', you're gonna get better benefits. fuck you.

what's up with that?! i also heard that the chief is part of a group of syndicate. grrr... my my. my uncle is too righteous and kind to encounter such monstrosity. he just lost his wife, and now you're trying to rob him of his retirement benefits!! where is the justice there!!!

and now... they're bringing it to the court. it's gonna take a long time but i'm praying for my uncle to win this battle. mehn.

i'm starting to hate PNP sans my uncle.

IN relation to policemen... last saturday i finally watched 'Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros'. mehn, super laughtrip!!! go Maxi! i love him! i love the *ehem* romance (if you would consider it romantic)... kinilig ako e! hehehe. weee i was squealing a night long! i love the film! and wotcher.. i even cried! i cried when Victor (the police) rejected Maxi's letter. i also cried when Maxi's father was killed. oh my golly, i love gays so much! go Maxi!!! and yeah, i know the movie's not a tear-jerker but i'm just so shallow.

ehehehehe

without a cure

i hate myself for wasting electricity this much. heck, i'm online again! i've always been online ever since i came home... which is quite a good thing because i don't have to spend a lot on net cafes and i can do a lot of things for as long as i want! like this new look for my blog. it's not a lot, i know. new blogger provides really limited features on template designs that's why if you want to include something foreign in your blog -by foreign i mean stuff the new blogger template editor doesn't recognize- you have to get a good hack (if you know how to) or just get a good hack resource.

the first ever hack i used for this xml layout came from Hackosphere and it's called Selective Expandable Posts. you know, the 'Read More' link... a link at the end of the first half of your long entry that will direct you to the post's permanent link where the whole entry is displayed. i tend to type a lot that's why i considered taking the hack.

sometimes i hate blogger for not developing important features like that. however, there are still loads of lovely things about new blogger that would compensate for that lack of... chorva. >_>

weee. for this layout, i used the page element editor to attach a header image. and i had to adjust the margin to a negative value so that the image would align to the left. blaaah. this is originally a Minima :) so yeah, aside from that i also took some properties from the layout, Harbor. if you notice, i took Harbor's sidebar/post divider. hehehe. i should've hosted it myself but then this layout is just a doubly-edited default blogger layout so the images must be theirs still. haha except for the header though... duh.

haaay. i want to go to the mall. XD

i bid you farewell

we went to the doctor awhile ago to consult my alleged heartburn. well, i was right, it was really a heartburn but it's also something worse. hehe. the doctor, in her outrageously commanding voice told me to avoid all these foods:

coffee, softdrinks, tea, cold drinks, chocolate, milk, sour foods and tomatoes!

and prescribed me to medicate on antacids and this medicine that will counter the reflux of acid from my stomach. she also said that the fact that i'm already feeling something pricking through my chest is a sign that my stomach lining is already wounded. the more i take in an inappropriate diet, the more wounded it would be and the next time i feel like vomiting i'd be spitting out blood. well, ulcer would probably be next... i'm well aware of that. mehn.

however, it's a good thing that it isn't critical yet... at least i still have time to heal myself and get into a good diet. mehn, the doctor sounds really strict i feel like she loathes me. hahaha. i know it's my fault, i drink too much coffee and i feast on tomatoes like there's no tomorrow and the doctor knows that... she knows how hard it is to advice a teenager to cut off with her vices. that's probably why she's talking to me the hard way... like she's a howler sent by Mrs. Molly Weasley.

discipline.
i don't have that. but now, i'm going to kill myself just to get that one virtue that would change my life (better yet... that one virtue that would keep me alive).

so yeah, i'm going to eliminate my favorite treats from my diet. bye tomatoes... i will miss you but rest assured that as soon as i get over this sickening pit i dug myself i'm going to come back for you and we'll live happily ever after!

goodbye coffee (or caffeine generally). you know how much i love you, that will never change. you're still the best drug in the world. see you when i get better.

*sniff* *sniff*

now let's leave the dramatic exit of my loyal sidekicks and move on to the introduction of my new companion.

my dear friends, here's TAP WATER! he'll be filling in for coffee. though i know it's one of the hardest jobs to do... i know he'll make it! lol

yeah, so hello water. you're my favorite drink now, how does that sound?

water: boils

O.O

err... apparently water still hates me. wait till we get along... it's not gonna take forever.

hehe. i'm so weird.
